Radio Theatre: Drone Attacks (Audio)

Apr 21, 2016
Produced by Tom Roe.
Gonçalo F. Cardoso's "A Study into 21st Century Drone Acoustics" is used as the basis of a radio drama about anonymous bombing and being bombed anonymously. The record is an auditive investigation by composer Gonçalo F. Cardoso (Discrepant records) and designer Ruben Pater (Untold Stories) using field recordings of 17 drone types, ranging from small consumer drones to large military drones and a soundscape inspired by the abusive and destructive power or drone technology. Quotes from bombees and bombers are interspersed, from congressional testimony and "Democracy Now!" Anohni's "Drone Bomb Me" and DJ Earworm's "Drone" are also included.
