with Magz Hall www.londonradioarts.org.uk and www.youarehear.co.uk co-presented by the British Council

free103point9: transmission arts
with Tianna Kennedy (NYC Projects Coordinator) & Matt Mikas (Operations Manager)

This panel introduces audiences to free103point9 and Transmission Arts defined as experimental practices in radio, video, installation, and performance utilizing the wireless spectrum.

Trevor Wishart
co-presented by the British Council
Trevor Wishart began working in the studio in an attempt to integrate the sounds of the real world into his musical activity. He soon became interested in sound metamorphosis as a means of manipulating these sounds and creating a musical amd 'poetic' discourse. With the advent of digital technology he was able to develop the sophisticated (software) instruments for sound morphing and transformation. He will talk about the various different approaches used in 'Red Bird', 'Two Women', 'The Division of Labour', 'Fabulous Paris', 'Imago' and 'Gobalalia'.

The Wire

Incorporating interviews, music and sound in an innovative way, The Wire creates a unique radio experience that's somewhere between documentary, a remix and a music show. The Wire also features a commissioned remix of each episode by a DJ/remix producer. Jowi, Chris and Paolo will discuss their vision of the program, the roles they played to make it, and the process they followed in bringing it all together.

Sunday Sessions

Radio, networks, ether
with Joe Milutis

Joe Milutis will perform "Airspace," a radiophonic chamber piece broadcast to radios in the room by way of an iRock transmitter (bring your own radios!). In addition, he will discuss why even the radio we like is bad radio. Expect forays into the history of mysticism and the theories of Gilles Deleuze.

Deep Wireless Panel

Introduction Darren Copeland (NAISA) & Neil Sandell (CBC Radio's Outfront)
Deep Wireless commissioned artists Christian Nicolay, Micheline Roi, Damiano Petropraolo and Debashis Sinha

This spring, the CBC Radio 1 program Outfront and New Adventures in Sound Art (with residencies at Charles Street Video) collaborated and co-produced the fourth Deep Wireless commissioning/residency programme. Four artists were chosen to produce radiophonic artworks for broadcast on Outfront, and in performance as part of the Deep Wireless Festival. During this session, the participating artists will play excerpts from their commissioned pieces and talk about what they discovered about creating works that will work on the radio and in live performance.

Wireless Imagination
with Tetsuo Kogawa & Kathy Kennedy

Showing the history of the Mini FM movements in Japan in the 80s, Tetsuo Kogawa will demonstrate how it anticipated the end of the dichotomy of "sender" and "receiver" and will argue a new relationship of art with technology. Radio art and Wireless art will be re-defined.

Kathy Kennedy will discuss her performance pieces that use low watt radio transmission. These specifically involve site-specific performances, using the radio receiver as a device for displacing and recontextualizing the original audio source.

Radio of the Future
moderated by Magz Hall with Neil Sandell, Charlotte Scott and Tetsuo Kogawa co-presented by the British Council

This panel will discuss questions such as how new technologies play a role in new approaches to form and content; will access to the radio of the future be limited to those with a computer; who will be the creators and who the receivers of the radio of the future?

free103point9: transmission arts

Trevor Wishart
co-presented by the British Council

He soon became interested in sound metamorphosis as a means of manipulating these sounds and creating a musical amd 'poetic' discourse. With the advent of digital technology he was able to develop the sophisticated (software) instruments for sound morphing and transformation.

Jowi, Chris and Paolo will discuss their vision of the program, the roles they played to make it, and the process they followed in bringing it all together.

Sunday Sessions

Introduction Darren Copeland (NAISA) & Neil Sandell (CBC Radio's Outfront)
Deep Wireless commissioned artists Christian Nicolay, Micheline Roi, Damiano Petropraolo and Debashis Sinha

This spring, the CBC Radio 1 program Outfront and New Adventures in Sound Art (with residencies at Charles Street Video) collaborated and co-produced the fourth Deep Wireless commissioning/residency programme.

Wireless Imagination
with Tetsuo Kogawa & Kathy Kennedy

Radio of the Future

Whose Radio Art is it anyway?
with Magz Hall www.londonradioarts.org.uk and www.youarehear.co.uk co-presented by the British Council

Trevor Wishart
co-presented by the British Council
Trevor Wishart began working in the studio in an attempt to integrate the sounds of the real world into his musical activity. He soon became interested in sound metamorphosis as a means of manipulating these sounds and creating a musical amd 'poetic' discourse. With the advent of digital technology he was able to develop the sophisticated (software) instruments for sound morphing and transformation. He will talk about the various different approaches used in 'Red Bird', 'Two Women', 'The Division of Labour', 'Fabulous Paris', 'Imago' and 'Gobalalia'.

The Wire

Incorporating interviews, music and sound in an innovative way, The Wire creates a unique radio experience that's somewhere between documentary, a remix and a music show. The Wire also features a commissioned remix of each episode by a DJ/remix producer. Jowi, Chris and Paolo will discuss their vision of the program, the roles they played to make it, and the process they followed in bringing it all together.

Sunday Sessions

Radio, networks, ether

Joe Milutis will perform "Airspace," a radiophonic chamber piece broadcast to radios in the room by way of an iRock transmitter (bring your own radios!).

Deep Wireless Panel

Introduction Darren Copeland (NAISA) & Neil Sandell (CBC Radio's Outfront)
Deep Wireless commissioned artists Christian Nicolay, Micheline Roi, Damiano Petropraolo and Debashis Sinha

This spring, the CBC Radio 1 program Outfront and New Adventures in Sound Art (with residencies at Charles Street Video) collaborated and co-produced the fourth Deep Wireless commissioning/residency programme. Four artists were chosen to produce radiophonic artworks for broadcast on Outfront, and in performance as part of the Deep Wireless Festival. During this session, the participating artists will play excerpts from their commissioned pieces and talk about what they discovered about creating works that will work on the radio and in live performance.

Wireless Imagination
with Tetsuo Kogawa & Kathy Kennedy

Showing the history of the Mini FM movements in Japan in the 80s, Tetsuo Kogawa will demonstrate how it anticipated the end of the dichotomy of "sender" and "receiver" and will argue a new relationship of art with technology. Radio art and Wireless art will be re-defined.

Kathy Kennedy will discuss her performance pieces that use low watt radio transmission. These specifically involve site-specific performances, using the radio receiver as a device for displacing and recontextualizing the original audio source.

Radio of the Future
moderated by Magz Hall with Neil Sandell, Charlotte Scott and Tetsuo Kogawa co-presented by the British Council

Deep Wireless commissioned artists Christian Nicolay, Micheline Roi, Damiano Petropraolo and Debashis Sinha

This spring, the CBC Radio 1 program Outfront and New Adventures in Sound Art (with residencies at Charles Street Video) collaborated and co-produced the fourth Deep Wireless commissioning/residency programme.

Naval Cassidy & the Hands of Orlak
“impeachment of the oversight quilt” If Chaluala Bankhead ever existed, she would not have had anything to do with Naval Cassidy and the Hands of Orlak. They make Instant Cinema right before your very eyes, with cameras, electronics, video clips, and lots of props. This special program is a collision of damaged human collateral and broken, forgotten artifacts of today's age gone tomorrow.

Uncle Woody Sullender
Under the not-so-clever moniker of "Uncle Woody Sullender", Woody Sullender performs improvised banjo music, playing with and against the cultural baggage of the instrument. While alluding to the "traditional" musics of his home states of Virginia and North Carolina, he explores a diverse plane of plucked string music from around the world as well as incorporating punk, noise, free jazz, etc.
