During a recent visit to the island of Ocracoke, NC, NIRRH creator Sam Sebren made numerous field recordings of the surrounding environment, including the Atlantic ocean and the Pamlico Sound, plus some local radio tuning and other various new, synthesizer and electronics experiments created while there. For this summer 2018 edition of the Nothing Is Real Radio Hour, listeners will hear Sebren's new collage of those sounds. Ocracoke, first named Wokokkon by the Hatterask tribe, is a remote barrier island with a small village (pop. 591) at the end of a 13 mile stretch of National Seashore, and is known historically as a favorite hideout of Blackbeard the pirate (1680-1718).
