From "Free Speech Radio News": "The US government regularly breaks through the encryption software that protects the e-mails, chats, cell phone calls, bank statements, medical records and web searches of Internet users in the US and around the world – and spends hundreds of millions of dollars every year to do so. That’s according to classified government documents leaked by former intelligence contractor Edward Snowden and published this week by the New York Times, ProPublica and the Guardian. Tech experts and civil liberties advocates say the agencies are prioritizing their own surveillance powers over the security of US networks. In Washington, DC, FSRN’s Alice Ollstein has more."

Radia Show 440: Hedging the Future by IG sterben for Radio Helsinki (Graz, AT). "Radia" is an international network of 23 radio stations interested in new and forgotten ways of making radio. Each week, one station organizes a show for all the others. This week: "In 2012 I – Max Höfler – bought some guns for an Austrian art association called Forum Stadtpark. The purchase of these guns established a situation that focuses on the most abstract entity we do have in our today society and that concerns us all: Money and all these financial issues that are considered as the basic structure of our society. To experience this abstract relation between us and the finance I transformed it into a concrete situation. To understand the situation which I wanted to establish with this purchase, you have to know three things: 1.) The Forum Stadtpark spent a lot of money for these rifles: 10.000€. 2.) These guns still work. That means that you can still use them and that they had been already used before. 3.) The value of these rifles will rise because they aren’t produced any longer and they are rare. So they are some kind of a financial investment for the Forum Stadtpark as well. After I bought these guns, I put them into a vitrine in the foyer of the Forum Stadtpark where they still are as an sort of permanent virulent inventory that questions how we can get out of this paradoxical situation. Now in 2013 three artist – Andreas Heller, Johannes Schrettle and me (Max Höfler) – want to transform this situation into a new form: into some sort of a performance called “IG Sterben”. This performance is subtitled as a musical. Andreas Heller will act as nature in a wheelchair, Johannes Schrettle as love in a jogging suit and me as immanent danger. Furthermore we will form a no band band called “IG Sterben”. Our first rehearsal will be directly at the performance. In this radia show you will get an insight of this transformational process and you will somehow get to know, what all these things may have in common." http://zukunftssicherung.weblog.mur.at/ http://forum.mur.at/

Curator and writer Manuel Cirauqui's Symposium is a monthly program about lectures and other related modes of critical discourse, presented with a strong focus on contemporary art and critique. The program uses radio as a creative device for mediation, reproduction, re-contextualization, and commentary. Presented in two parts, Hearing Hearings focuses on German poet, playwright, theatre director, and Marxist, Bertolt Brecht's hearings and Eric Bentley.

Our first regular edition back after our summer break features Sala, Chris Watson, Yannick Dauby, Kim Walker, The London Sound Survey, and a framework introduction recorded by Martin Clarke. "Framework" broadcasts two distinct alternating formats, a regular edition, constructed and mixed by its presenter from contributions submitted by listeners and members of the field recording community, and framework:afield, a guest-curated series produced by artists from all corners of the globe and based on their own themes, concepts or recordings.

During her residency Contant will further develop a performance for radio based on research about transmission during The Weimar Republic. This research was compiled in her Master’s thesis, which received The Distinguished Thesis Award from The New School’s Media Studies Department in 2012. Over 90 pages of historical, technical, and theoretical writing addresses a lacuna in media scholarship about the importance of this radio epoch. However, in its academic form, Contant realizes that her research remains limited to a small, rather specific community. A public performance and archival documentation of her proposed performance, makes Contant’s research accessible to a wider public audience.

Advocates for low-power window are trying to get a second window to allow more non-profit groups to apply for stations. Experts say that is not likely.

Highlights from "120 Hours For John Cage."

The NSA an break your encryption, the FCC considers low-power FM, "Al Jazeera" is blocked in Egypt, and more radio and media news.

From "Free Speech Radio News": "In Washington D.C. today, a federal appeals court heard a major challenge to the Federal Communications Commission’s three-year-old Open Internet Rule. The internet provider Verizon asked the court to toss out the rule entirely, saying it should have the right not only to charge websites for better and faster service, it should be able to block some content entirely. Both the FCC and public interest groups intervening in the case warned that this would encourage corporate censorship and favoritism, and stifle free speech and competition online. FSRN’s Alice Ollstein was in the courtroom Sept. 9. 2013 and brings us this report."

Get suited up and be sure you follow all the anti-contamination HazMat protocols, because tonight we're going to be wading up to our eyeballs in killer microorganisms! Hell, it might be a good idea to coat yourself in Bag Balm before sliding into your moonsuit. Because yes, it's a special crossover episode of "Bob's Slacktime Funhouse." Through the scurrilous magic of Recombinant Comedy™, I team up with the less-than-willing Doktors of the Lymph Node Institute in a race against a pandemic that's wiping out all life on earth...but wait--! Is it possible that Doc Ellis and Doktor Bugbladder are actually the source of the deadly virus? Or is it merely a coincidence that the Institute is full hundreds of psychotic, infected lab monkeys? And yes, there are NO musical numbers by Anthrax in it.

From "Free Speech Radio News": "In the latest revelations about US government spying, the NSA has the capacity to hack into smartphones, accessing vast amounts of data including call logs, contact lists, text messages and geolocation information. That’s according to Laura Poitras, who co-authored a report today in Der Spiegel based on NSA documents leaked by Edward Snowden. The NSA has developed specific teams to target certain companies or operating systems, such as Apple’s iPhone, according to the report. The documents, some of which Der Spiegel published, show examples of private photos and text messages that the US government accessed, such as an email sent by a Mexican government agency through a Blackberry encryption technology but intercepted by the NSA. For more, we’re joined by Barry Steinhardt, founder of Friends of Privacy USA. In a related update, Facebook, Google and Yahoo filed separate court motions today to allow them to reveal more details about the government’s surveillance program. The companies filed the motions in the government’s secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, asking the court to allow them to disclose information about the NSA’s requests for information. Currently, the tech companies are barred from revealing details about the requests."

Primary election results are recounted.

Oneohtrix Point Never—aka Daniel Lopatin—is a Brooklyn-based composer who creates electronic music that is often described as “cinematic” and “orchestral.” He's performing at EMPAC at RPI in Troy, NY, Sept. 12, 2013. While broad in range, Lopatin does not ignore the small stuff; his sound engineering crafts and controls every detail and effect. Pulling from a wide range of influences—synth sounds, television commercials, classical minimalism, and high-end audio production—Lopatin condenses the disparate sounds to form music that slopes forward with self-contained narratives.

Tune in to this week’s episode of Some Assembly Required (#169) to hear a track by Stone, along with eleven additional sound collages by Animals Within Animals, BRATmix, Daniel Steven Crafts, DJ Danger Mouse, Emergency Broadcast Network, Furious, Go Home Productions, Doug Kahn, Christian Marclay (with Otomo Yoshide), Negativland and Party Ben.

Peter and Mickey open the program with a discussion of the drumbeat for US airstrikes on Syria, and the false picture being portrayed in US media. Professor Assad abu Khalil says none of the warring factions have the support of the Syrian population, and the "rebels" are bankrolled by conservative Gulf monarchies. Later in the program, Peter and Mickey welcome Abby Martin, host of the RT Television program "Breaking the Set," for a conversation about getting past the US power structure's domination of media. From Pacifica Radio.

From "Free Speech Radio News": "The National Security Agency released hundreds of pages of formerly classified documents Tuesday in response to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit. The documents reveal more widespread monitoring, constitutional violations and acts of deception than previously known and add to a growing debate about the use of surveillance tools and security after 9/11. In Washington, DC, FSRN’s Alice Ollstein has more."

Interview with Eliane Radigue and Keith Fullerton Whitman from Issue Project Room in Brooklyn, and other works by the composer Keith Fullerton Whitman. Keith Fullerton Whitman (born May 29, 1973) is an American electronic musician who has recorded albums influenced by many genres, including ambient music, drill and bass, and krautrock. He records and performs using many aliases, of which the best-known is Hrvatski (the Croatian word for Croatian). His works under the Hrvatski moniker mainly fell under the 'drill and bass' subgenre of IDM, and were his main musical outlet in the mid-to-late 1990s. Other solo aliases include ASCIII and Anonymous. Keith was in many bands in the 1990s, including El-Ron, The Liver Sadness, Sheket/Trabant, The Finger Lakes and Gai/Jin. Keith Fullerton Whitman started recording using his own name in 2001, and most of his work recorded today is under that name. In 2006, he performed at North East Sticks Together. His brother, former MIT scientist Brian Alexander Whitman and co-founder of The Echo Nest, is also an electronic musician and sound artist under name Blitter.[1]

The composer, and sometimes-Sonic Youth member, is featured. Jim O'Rourke (born January 18, 1969) is an Irish-American musician and record producer. He was long associated with the Chicago experimental and improv scene. Around 2000 he relocated to New York before moving on to Tokyo, Japan where he currently resides.

From "Free Speech Radio News": "After years of public outcry from citizens, Pakistan’s government today announced it would raise the issue of drone strikes at the United Nations. The government has publicly condemned the strikes, but has allegedly given the okay in private to the US to launch drone attacks. From Islamabad, Malik Ayub Sumbal has more for FSRN. In a weekly briefing here in Islamabad, Foreign Office spokesperson Aizaz Ahmed Chaudhry called the drone strikes a violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty and a violation of international law. The decision to fight drone attacks through the UN comes after a recommendation from a national political conference. Chaundhry said the Foreign Office has already initiated the process in consultation with their UN delegations in Geneva and New York. He denied there is an agreement with the US on the use of drones in Pakistan’s territory; however, the United States maintains the strikes are made with the full cooperation and support of civil and military establishments. Just last Friday, a US drone strike near the Afghan border killed several suspected militants, including a high-ranking member of a US-branded terrorist organization. Malik Ayub Sumbal, FSRN, Islamabad."
