ARCHIVE

Sketchpad Series is a monthly program on WGXC 90.7-FM presented by the Chicago-based project, Radius. April 2012 features Mutant Beatniks's MONO , and is followed by a playlist of works selected by the artist.

About MONO : "Mono words. Memories of long nights tracing the airways; music and cross talking frequencies bleeding into each other. Subtune on one waveband, find apertures opening, disappear into the ether.

A piece of atmospheres, drifting mixes, illbient textures. A soundtrack to an unmade film. An out of tune radio hovering between stations. Some private diary tapes sent between estranged lovers.

MONO dips into a large archive of sounds, going back into childhood, in the days before internet, where radio was the instrument for transportation.
