Radiophrenia Redux: Luke Fowler + Richard McMaster and Sean Burn (Audio)

Jan 06, 2018
Produced by Mark Vernon and Barry Burns.

‘Twilight of the Rock Gods’ by Luke Fowler and Richard McMaster. The source material originates from two found reel to reel collections; one is a collection of record label demos from 1974-1978, the other an archive of a university’s research into speech disorders which includes an interview with a man who worked in the music industry. Excerpts from these tapes are manipulated and radically reshaped by feeding the raw material through a series of vintage effects boxes relevant to the era in which the original recordings were made.

‘lone-crow make some hullabaloo’ by sean burn. This work blends and processes poetry with soundscape, loosely based around a recurring dream of an intense relationship with a trickster crow and memories of a childhood before adolescent psychiatric wards.
