Dziga Vertov's (1896-1954) "Enthusiasm! The Dombass Symphony (1930)." Original soundtrack excerpts, recorded in 1929-30, 26'30". Written and directed (composed): Dziga Vertov; Sound: P. Shtro; Sound-Recording Station: Timartsev, Chibisov, Khariyonov & Molchanov; Recorded: Shorin System; Additional Music: Donbassa March by Timofeyev; Produced: Ukrainfilm Kiev Film Studio, 1930.Extracts taken from the DVD Entuziazm (Sinfonia Donbassa), Osterreichisches Filmmuseum 2005 via Ubuweb. "Enthusiasm! The Dombass Symphony" (1930) is possibly Dziga Vertov's most revolutionary achievement: a symphony of abstract industrial noise for which a specially designed giant mobile recording system was constructed (it weighed over a ton) in order to capture the din of mines, furnaces and factories. For Vertov, the introduction of sound film didn't mean talkies, but the opportunity to collage, montage and splice together constructions of pure environmental noise. Denis Arkadievitch Kaufman (b. Bialyskov, Poland 1986 - d. Moscow 1954) adopted the name Dziga Vertov as an adolescent; a futurist pseudonym loosely translated as "spinning top". He studied piano, violin and psychoneurology, at the same time writing poetry and recording natural sounds with a phonograph for his Laboratory of Hearing (1916). By 1918, he had begun to work w ith cinema and - with his future wife Elisaveta Svilova - created the group Kinoks [Kino-Eye]. Concentrating on documentary films, they championed "what the eye doesn't see" . Between 1925 and 1929, he developed the idea of Radio-Pravda [Radio-Truth] and Radio-Ear (from "I hear").

Micah Moses's Cinema Terrorisme is an audio sigil using cut up methods and collage in order to distill the horror of modern existential malaise into substantiate energy mass. There is no moral value expressed in Cinema Terrorisme. Everything you hear has been alchemically remapped into a new order of relational aesthetics. More information is available on the Cinema Terrorisme blog at http://cinematerrorisme.blogspot.com/

Avalon Light Therapy, which uses a combination of blue red and infrared led lights to assist healing of the body, and homeopathy, are discussed with Dr. John Ritz. From Wikipedia: "Light therapy or phototherapy (classically referred to as heliotherapy) consists of exposure to daylight or to specific wavelengths of light using lasers, light-emitting diodes, fluorescent lamps, dichroic lamps or very bright, full-spectrum light, usually controlled with various devices. The light is administered for a prescribed amount of time and, in some cases, at a specific time of day. Common use of the term is associated with the treatment of skin disorders (chiefly psoriasis), sleep disorder and some psychiatric disorders. Light therapy directed at the skin is also used to treat acne vulgaris, eczema and neonatal jaundice. Light therapy which strikes the retina of the eyes is used to treat circadian rhythm disorders such as delayed sleep phase syndrome and can also be used to treat seasonal affective disorder, with some support for its use also with non-seasonal psychiatric disorders." Ritz is a Naturopathic Doctor based in Lebanon, CT. Hosted by Pete Bianco on WHCL, out of Hamilton College, Clinton, NY.

"Don’t panic," a live performance by Chris Farmer in the Panik studio from Radio Panik (Brussels, Belgium) via the Radia network. "Radia" is a group of radio station seeking new and forgotten ways to make radio. Each week one station makes a show to share with all the others, including WGXC/free103point9. This show was a live perfomance by Chris Farmer in the Radio Panik studio, based on a previous work he did a few months ago for a german galery (Expo Berlin). The work he did in Berlin resulted in an improvised performance which was an electronic, harmonic and visual echo of the surrounding urban space. In Brussels, Chris farmer proposed to the Radio Panik listeners to recreate the poetic and harmonic experience of that particular urban landscape, which he recorded and translated with his sound recorder and coloured pencils. Living and working in Brussels, Belgium, Chris Famer is of vaguely British origin and a self-taught gardener, linguist, musician and artist who composes and improvises in all of these media. Since the early 1990s, he has gardened, translated and created his way through France, Belgium and the UK. His quest is to find poetry in noise and the botany of language, hoping to one day compile a formally chaotic and above all subjective monograph of the world that confronts him, and us, every day. Since an early age, Chris Farmer has been influenced, or obsessed, by song and sound, and especially how it can be transformed or dismantled, as seen in the works of Anthony Milton, Michael Gira, Richard Skelton. He currently experiments with the relation between languages, culture, sound, structure, horticulture and art, in various random combinations.

The Saturday before Christmas is sure to find the NYC airwaves full of carols, and Joshua Fried remixes the airwaves he receives in Brooklyn and sends them to the Hudson Valley in an all new form on this weekly show.

This edition of framework:afield has been produced in Germany and The United Statrs by Christoph Limbach. For more information see his website at http://soniclandscapeinterventions.wordpress.com.

Radius Sketchpad is an ongoing monthly program on WGXC 90.7-FM presented by the Chicago-based platform, Radius. This month features Desh & Ekis's Xprmtal Short Wave Radio B-Side (Radius Edit), originally produced for Radius, and is followed by a playlist of works selected by the artist.

Site: Argantek Industrial State, AIII Motorway, km 23, MAD ESP.

A landscape of scrapheap hills, rusty heavy-duty machinery, abandoned building sites sheltering engine cults’ followers. A constant metallic buzzing interferes with encoded technical transmissions and radio spectrum “white spaces” while, high above, floats a chaos of frequencies.

Two short wave radio broadcasters establish contact through these airwaves, their dialogue sent back to the listeners of the area who are unaware of such free-form vibrations coming from their speakers.

XMITTER: Digikampradesh [D3SH] … nisutronics improvisations … registers and manipulates the incoming radio signals with a Zenith Transoceanic Royal State D7000Y radio and a third rate MP3 recorder … guitar hero drones … teletypes become robo clappers … oriental jammers taste their own medicine … a night flight across a storm …

RCVR: Ekis [X] … ArD2′s Left Brain … translates, remixes, and produces the output … all info waves are subject to be recast as drum patterns (easier to memorize) … pulses transformed into melodic lines … jammed stations back on air … strength signal amplified …

It all sounds like a polygonal reverb.

Xprmtal Short Wave Radio B-Side (Radius Edit) is a special Desh & Ekis edit for Radius. For the the A-Side, visit digikampradesh.wordpress.com and ard2music.com.

"In Other News" from WBAI's Geoff Brady, host and independent radio producer in New York City, via Pacifica Radio Network. He writes, "Discussion with author/researcher/activist Amy Worthington, one of the first to write about details of the aerosol operations during the late 90s, sort of before most of us became aware. Recently, Worthington has written two very important well researched articles on the physiological hazards of the wireless age, specifically the effects to cellular structure and DNA from cell phone use . Her article "Generation X-Ray - Child victims of Technological Abuse, and Microwaves: The Radiation Poisoning of America" research and document the studies that you don't hear about in North America. The reality is that cellphone users in the U.S. and Canada have not been told the truth about the dangers of wireless radiation. Now as most are emotionally addicted to cell phones it could be more difficult to effectively impart this information. There are some eye opening clues in this interview that Worthington imparts: The Russian government has warned pregnant mothers not to use cell phones; Wireless radiation oscillates cells 2.4 billion cycles per second - breaking DNA; All 200 types of cancer begin with broken DNA; 24 hours of cell phone use = 1600 chest X-rays; Wireless radiation opens blood/brain barrier, easy access for barium and aluminum; Quiet build up as wireless technology = surveillance = police state."

A look at the issues, and the coverage of those issues, raised by the Newtown shootings told thru narration, music, and soundbites. Songs from Laura Nyro, Spiritualized, Animal Collective, Simon and Garfunkel, and others. This program has soundbites including President Obama, Chris Matthews with Larry Pratt of The Gun Owners of America, Congressman John Yarmuth D-Ky, Louie Goehnert wiith Chris Wallace, Sen. Richard Shelby, Sen. Manchin from Morning Joe, White House Spokesman Jay Carney, Sen. Diane Feinstein, House Minority leader, Nancy Pelosi, murdered principal's daughter, Erika Lafferty, 8 year old survivor Luke Santana with CBS's Jim Axelrod, NBC chief foreign correspondent, Richard Engel, from C-Span, media and political websites for illustrative, analysis and commentary purposes.

The first major snow storm of the winter in the Northeast United States is greeted with a special hour of live coverage, news updates, live snow sounds, and more. The National Weather Service issued a Winter Storm Watch for the WGXC listening area, with 5-9″ of snow expected early Thursday morning. The snow likely begins after 5 p.m. Wednesday, possibly heavy at times Thursday morning, and turning to sleet and freezing rain Thursday. Some snow showers could linger Thursday evening. Live from Acra with host Tom Roe.

Rebroadcast. SnowFlow, a three-day collaboration Feb. 11-13 2011, at the Full Moon Resort in the heart of the Catskill Forest Preserve, brought together artists, activists, farmers, biologists, and organizations from all over NY and PA to raise awareness over the threats to our most vital natural resource - clean water. Informal conferencing took place at meals made from locally farmed food and with skiers at nearby Belleayre mountain. There was snowshoeing, snow shelter building, and a special, pure water inspired concert curated by Suzanne Thorpe of EMF and ISSUE Project Room.

The event was organized by Andrea Reynosa and Kevin Vertrees of SkyDog Projects with help from Erin Heaton and Bill Meyer of C-CARE. Sam Sebren was a participant making field recordings for free103point9 and WGXC, and, with Tom Roe, streaming the Feb. 12 concert live on WGXC.

From TEA FM (Zaragoza, ES). "time_sound_machine_broadcast." The historical memory of human race is based on records. The cave paintings, Etruscan reliefs, Roman mosaics, the first printing ... All these records were visual, touchables. This program collects ten moments of human history which reflects the importance of sound and elements that reinforce its communication power. But just as the perception of a painting environment changes depending on where it is observed, in the light of external factors to it, the message conveyed sound varies accompanying interference. Let's look at these companions more than the message itself. We'll be surprised what we can hear if we pay enough attention. It is not until the second half of the nineteenth century when the first sound recording is made. Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville patented in 1857 the phonautograph, considered the first device capable of recording sound in a visible support. In this radiodocumental we can hear the first known recording that has come down to us is 1860, Au Clair de la Lune. But the first sound recordings of graphophone, the first intercontinental phone call, sound captures from voices born before 1800 ... A trip uploaded to our time machine to travel the sound recordings that have marked the last two hundred years of our history.

This is the legendary 1978 samizdat recording of "Audience," starring Václav Havel (1936-2011) as Vanek and Pavel Landovský as Sládek. It was recorded by folk singer Vladimír Merta in his Prague appartment in 1978 and published by the Šafrán label, ran from Upsalla, Sweden, by Czech exiles Jirí Pallas and Jaroslav Hutka, both signatories of the Charter 77. The LP was unofficially circulated in Czechoslovakia and many Czechs knew parts of the play by heart after 1978, despite the fact any Havel publication was banned in the country since the 1968 Soviet invasion. Havel himself was briefly imprisoned in 1978 and continuously from June 1979 to January 1984. This is a rare example of a record which proved dangerous for its authors, as well as for the entire Soviet system. Czech record company Bonton officially published the recording for the first time in 1990, soon after Havel became president of Czechoslovakia in December 1989. Václav Havel and Pavel Landovský in "Audience" (as it is titled in Czech) belongs to a trilogy of partly autobiographical one-act plays also known as the Vanek Trilogy, comprising Audience (1975), Protest (1978) and Mistake (1983), based on Havel’s experience of being forced to work in a brewery and under constant harassment from the Communist regime. Taking place in the brewery’s office, Audience is a meeting between the brewery’s manager Sládek and employee Vanek. While the manager is clearly opening too many beers and inducing into binge drinking, it is less clear what he wants from Vanek, though it ultimately transpires he has a deal to offer: a promotion agaisnt informations on Vanek’s political activities.

Legendary free jazz saxophonist David S. Ware died Thu., Oct. 18. We will play some of his most amazing moments. There is a memorial for him Jan. 7, 2013 in Manhattan.

From Wikipedia:

"Ware's recorded debut was in 1971, on a privately-produced LP recorded by Abdul Hannah, an alto saxophonist from Boston. He went on to record with drummer Andrew Cyrille and pianist Cecil Taylor. In the late 1970s and early '80s Ware recorded more regularly as a bandleader, and formed his acclaimed quartet in the early 1990s. The quartet was originally composed of Ware, pianist Matthew Shipp, bassist William Parker and drummer Marc Edwards. The drum chair was later occupied by Whit Dickey, Susie Ibarra, and Guillermo E. Brown. The quartet released a string of well-reviewed albums mostly on small record labels, but saxophonist Branford Marsalis signed Ware to two-album deal with Columbia Records in the late '90s.[2] Ware dissolved the quartet in about 2007, after the release of the album Renunciation. He has since recorded albums for solo saxophone, and with several different supporting bands. Suffering from kidney disease, Ware was able to undergo a successful kidney transplantation at the age of 60, after receiving a kidney donated in response to an email message sent out to nearly 1,000 of Ware's fans." He was 62.
