Radia Show 537: Interpretations of weekend – Yngvild K. Rolland from Radio Nova in Oslo, Norway. "Radia" is a group of stations interested in new and forgotten ways of making radio. Each week one station makes a show for all the others. The two audio pieces by Yngvild Rolland presented in this weeks Radia show are based on material from Jean-Luc Godard’s film Weekend (1967). weekendWEEKENDWeek-end Photo: Yngvild K. Rolland weekendWEEKENDWeek-end Photo: Yngvild K. Rolland The first excerpt, titled The Study of a Killing, is a sampled and modified score using sound directly from the film. The second excerpt is from Untitled. Deconstructed Languages. The piece is the result of a continuous change of language, where film dialogue has been translated to text, this text has then been translated to three languages and published as the book weekendWEEKENDWeek-End (2014). Then the published texts have been translated to sound using a Typatune. Another modified version of the sound is combined with an altered scene from the film Weekend in the video Death, Disaster and Expensive Handbags (2010). Typatune. Photo: Yngvild K. Rolland Typatune.
