Radia Show 517: "The Haystack" by Michael Dean from CKUT (90.3-FM) Montreal, Canada. "Radia" is a group of internartional stations, including Wave Farm's WGXC, interested in new and forgotten ways of making radio. Each week, one station makes a show for the others. This week: "'The Haystack' addresses modern practices for data gathering and surveillance, approached through the development of evolving sonic landscapes. Four chapters are compiled, each drawing from different methods of data monitoring, including tapped telephone calls, recorded conversation, the sonification of network traffic, and the internal sounds of communication technology itself. Haystack is the sound of dystopia, as told from the eyes of a machine." For more work by Micheal Dean please go to https://soundcloud.com/m-dean-1
