The government closed at midnight Oct. 1 because Republicans in the House kept trying to delay or defund Obamacare in a bill to keep the government running past October 1.

Composer Valentina Vuksic is featured, especially tracks from "Tripping through runtime." Also, a live set from Tom Carter, from Sept. 6, 2013. Also, Bill Callahan's new "Dream River" is featured. Description: "Acoustic trips through the magnetic spheres of motherboards. Plunge into the invisible relationships of hard and soft computer matter by acoustic means. A collection of laptops are examined via electromagnetic induction pickups. Booting up an operating system starts the travel into this space emerging between hard- and software. Operating systems, tools and custom programs are utilized to bring the characteristics of each computer into the limelight. Machine noises mediate for the public. They reveal the activity of computer programs in the widest sense and the activity of the computer parts they are running on. Time and space of computer processes run through different levels of reality during "runtime". Software being processed within this coordinate system creates its own temporal and spatial dimensions, which are staged for an audience to provide a sonic experience: that of logic encountering the physical world."

He was the curator of the audio art series Earwitness at CCNOA (Centre for Contemporary Non Objective Art) in Brussels and of the Culture Mile in Enschede, Holland (first instalment in November 2008 (Bill Fontana)).

Tom Waits (on Robert Wilson): "Wilson, he's always playing with time. I heard a recording recently of crickets slowed way down. It sounds like a choir, it sounds like angel music. Something sparkling, celestial with full harmony and bass parts - you wouldn't believe it. It's like a sweeping chorus of heaven, and it's just slowed down, they didn't manipulate the tape at all. So I think when Wilson slows people down, it gives you a chance to watch them moving through space. And there's something to be said for slowing down the world."

First, "The RAIN Report" with inveterate CW operator Henry Koenig, WD8Q, talking about Morse code as an art form, with host Hap Holly, KC9RP, from suburban Chicago. No "PiratesWeek" this week. More radio news, other radio sounds.

With just a skeleton crew since the government "shutdown" Oct. 1, the Federal Communications Commission currently has no enforcement division, to react to complaints about pirate radio. Those complaints may be logged later, but the pirates may be long gone by the time the government re-opens for business. So, with America in a lawless state on the airwaves, is anyone monitoring pirate activity? The FCC keeps the records of pirate radio activity that anyone reporting about pirate radio inevitably refers to in their story. Pirates no longer like to leave internet traces, but there are a few websites with information about illicit activity on the airwaves. "PiratesWeek," a weekly audio report about shortwave and FM pirate radio activity comes from upstate New York's Ragnar Daneskjold, although he posts much less often every fall. Even when he doesn't post the weekly show that airs on many FM, shortwave, and internet stations, he does post audio files of pirate stations, and his Twitter feed is full of broadcast alerts. Pirate Radio Central (blackcatsystems.com/radio/pirate.html) also hosts a lively message board with information about shortwave pirates, numbers stations, utility stations, and more. Free Radio Cafe also has a lively forum, and includes solar weather and a way to upload QSL cards.

Collages, recordings, reports, songs, stories, and more about pirate radio.

Jonah Parzen-Johnson is a baritone saxophonist living in Brooklyn, NY. His techniques including circular breathing, multi-phonics, and vocalization owes a debt to his Chicago hometown's sound. Parzen-Johnson is also a member of the afrobeat ensemble, Zongo Junction. Loud & Sad is a collaboration between Joe Houpert and Nathan McLaughlin, currently based out of Philadelphia, PA and Hudson, NY. Both individually in their solo work, and together in this duo, Houpert and McLaughlin explore the vocabulary of the reel-to-reel tape machine as a partner in accompaniment. They have built up this tape machine vocabulary through various phases of their work, utilizing a variety of instrument sources and trying to ground those in social concepts and ideas. The current focus is adding folk instrumentation to that vocabulary, with renewed emphasis being put into the energy of live performance. They have a number of releases that chronicle their various incarnations on labels such as cae-sur-a, FET Press, Digitalis, Greenup Industries and an upcoming release on Tranquility Tapes. You can also hear their work as part of the trio Tilth, with Cody Yantis.
