92.5 Mhz FM Berlin, June+July 2006, radioeinszueins.de

Produce a show for an imaginary radio, a snapshot of a channel which
doesn't exist, at least not in Berlin yet. We are looking for radio shows
with something extra, taking a theme and topic that reinterprete formats
that get sent over the airwaves: reports, retrospectives, interviews,
soundscapes, features, radioplays, lectures, label presentations
and event recordings.

We're looking for a preproduced radio show with a distinguishable concept and theme. Not merely a DJ-Mix, but an acoustic window into an own existing world, like a mixtape which precisely characterizes a special genre. (French House 1996, Italo-Western Movie Soundtracks, music concrete made by construction machines in front of your window, etc.)

Assured: You reach an unsual audience during the World Cup via
FM in Berlin and through the web netwide. The transmission is offered to
the program exchange network of radia.fm with radioswap.org,
freie-radios.net and prx.org. (Syndication yes/no in the id3 tag for copyright)

Repetitions of already transmitted material is welcome as well as direct
links. We recommend to put the show under a creative commons license.

(Radio Free Brattleboro is a Vermont microradio station, currently in a legal wrangle with the FCC.)

The 12-page ruling that came down earlier this spring, forbidding the station from taking to the air ever again, was only written after U.S. District Judge J. Garvan Murtha extended rfb and the FCC a chance to negotiate some sort of amicable settlement. rfb proposed powering down in exchange for the FCC giving Vermont Earthworks expedited consideration of its LPFM application. The FCC refused (though the organization was awarded the right to build WVEW-LP anyway) and went to another federal court for a warrant to raid the station.

With a settlement thus impossible, Murtha had to make a ruling. So he did, and it pretty much tracked with my initial suspicions. He noted that rfb was statutorily barred from receiving an LPFM license; he employed the "jurisdictional wiggle"* to sidestep and otherwise ignore rfb's constitutional challenges to the FCC licensing regime. He also denied rfb's call for sanctions against the FCC for double-dipping the legal system in order to take the station off the air. The station had been fairly warned that a raid might be in the cards, and there's no rule that limits the number of enforcement tools the FCC can employ at any given time. In these respects the decision falls on the unremarkable pile.

What is most interesting is what's left unsaid. Murtha remarks in one place that the station had asserted, in prior correspondence with the FCC, a "license of support from a substantial majority of the people of Brattleboro, referring to a town referendum vote," (internal quotation marks omitted), but does not address this plank of its defense at all in his discussion on matters of law.

This is interesting because one of rfb's main rationales for defying the FCC was that it had mustered an alternate authority to broadcast from its local community, to make up for the shortcomings of the federal licensing system. The whole radical notion was a even subject of some discussion at the case's main hearing.

Since Judge Murtha declined to make precedent on rfb's most unique defense, other stations remain free to test their luck with it. That had to be a conscious omission, and was probably the best thing Murtha could do to demonstrate support for rfb under the circumstances.

* - A number of decisions have been made in the area of microradio case law which hold that constitutional challenges and other direct attacks on FCC statutory authority can only be heard in federal Courts of Appeal; some have gone so far as to reserve such disputes exclusively to the D.C. Circuit. It's by no means a unanimous judicial sentiment, but it's convenient for jurists who would rather duck the fundamental issues.

From newsservice@ucdavis.edu

A UC Davis scholar plans to use the freedom afforded by a Guggenheim Fellowship to explore how the line is blurred between nature and technology when people listen to sounds from the cosmos.

Douglas Kahn, who directs the 4-year-old Technocultural Studies Program and is a scholar of the cultural history of sound and technology in the arts, is among 187 artists, scholars and scientists in United States and Canada recognized with Guggenheim Fellowships this spring.

Fellows are appointed by recommendations from expert advisers on the basis of distinguished past achievement and the promise of future accomplishment. Awards this year total $7.5 million; fellowships are expected to average about $40,000 per fellow.

Rather than use the funds to travel abroad for research, Kahn will use the material he has been gathering for the past several years to stay at UC Davis during the 2006-07 school year and write a book titled "Radio Was Discovered Before It Was Invented." He will also be working on the project as a fellow at the Davis Humanities Institute during the same period.

He is focusing on events that began in 1876 when Thomas Watson, the engineer who fashioned the first telephone for Alexander Graham Bell, accidentally heard electromagnetic signals coming from the Earth's ionosphere and magnetosphere.

"At nighttime Watson would sit listening for hours on end to a telephone earpiece hooked up to an iron test line that ran over the rooftops of Boston," Kahn says. "The first telephone line had become an unwitting antenna through which he heard strange and beautiful sounds."

Those sounds are now commonly known as atmospheric or natural radio, auroral chorus and VLF ("very low frequency" phenomena).

The sounds range from fragile glissandi called whistlers to noise that have been described as the sounds of "electronic bacon frying," Kahn says. They are generated by lightning, solar winds and auroral activity, among other sources.

Natural radio sounds became better known during the 1990s when avid amateur Stephen McGreevy issued CDs of his field recordings, Kahn said.

Kahn, who wrote "Noise, Water, Meat: A History of Sound in the Arts" (1999), plans to start with the Watson story and follow it through the next 130 years, including the scientific investigation of natural radio beginning after World War I and the advent of composers and artists using these very low frequency sounds from the atmosphere to make music and sound art in the second-half of the 20th century.

Experimental music composer Alvin Lucier, one of the pioneers of natural music, was a mentor to Kahn when he pursued a master's degree in music composition at Wesleyan University in Middleton, Conn.

Perhaps the most intriguing part of the Guggenheim project will come when Kahn tries to answer bigger questions regarding sound, music, philosophy and cosmology that the history of natural radio raises. He plans to challenge conventional wisdom that technology is separate from nature.

"That is, no one wants to listen to 'noise,' " Kahn says. "I also plan to ask what happens in the history of Western culture once the cosmos is understood to be electromagnetic.

"The radio is a sign of modern technology, and has been studied as a 'communication device,' but here we encounter an entirely different notion of radio, as sounds coming from the heavens, a veritable soundtrack of astronomy," Kahn says.

Over the past two decades, readers of the works of Gilles Deleuze have had several opportunities to participate in international conferences held at Trent University and organized by Constantin V. Boundas. In that tradition, we announce the organization of a conference to take place on the campus of the University of South Carolina (Columbia, SC, USA), between April 5 and 8, 2007, sponsored by the Program in Comparative Literature , the English Department, and the College of Arts and Sciences.

The conference theme, “Gilles Deleuze: texts and images,” is meant to be understood inclusively rather than exclusively. That is, while recognizing the conference’s focus on the work of Gilles Deleuze, the organizers encourage broad and comparative interpretations and commentaries from Deleuzian perspectives on subjects such as literature, philosophy, painting and film, as well as exegeses of Deleuze’s body of work that engage with ontological and epistemological concepts and problems. Presentations by the invited plenary speakers - Eric Alliez, Ronald Bogue, Constantin V. Boundas, and Elizabeth Grosz - will be supplemented by speakers in parallel sessions.

The conference will be held on the historic campus of the University of South Carolina ( http://president.sc.edu/history.html). The weather in April will be mild, and the campus will be in bloom. Columbia is mid-sized city with a major airport and is easily accessible. It is the capital of South Carolina and has many fine restaurants. Conference participants will be lodged on campus at the new Inn at USC (http://www.innatusc.com/); rooms have been reserved at a special conference rate of $116 for those making their reservations by February 20, 2007. There are also other hotels nearby. Those interested in speaking at the conference should send a title, a 750-word abstract, and a 250-word bibliographical biography to delcon2k7@yahoo.com as a Word or RTF attachment no later than October 1, 2006.

On The Air part of WHITE NOISE for PERFORMA05
White Box
525 West 26th Street, NYC 10011
Closing Reception Saturday, November 5, 7-9 p.m.

free103point9 presents On The Air, a four-day series of transmission performances at White Box as part of WHITE NOISE for PERFORMA05. On The Air suggests an architecture, in-motion, for the reception of polyphonic radio signals in transmission- based performance. Four FM transmitters distribute four distinct “channels” of sound to portable radios suspended from clusters of helium-filled balloons throughout the gallery space. The radios are set in motion by fans causing the signals to at once surround and abandon the listener. For WHITE NOISE on the occasion of PERFORMA05 members of free103point9’s Transmission Artists have conceived of independent projects that inhabit and disrupt this sonic construction.

On The Air begins with a live Radio 4x4 event: an improvisational performance where four artists each perform into an individual transmitters; the audience’s location in tandem with the balloons’ determine the final mix of the collaboration. Audio ephemera from Radio 4x4 is installed throughout the project duration. Each day will feature interventions from participating artists including 31 Down, Alexis Bhagat, Matt Bua, Damian Catera, The Dust Dive, Joshua Fried, Tianna Kennedy, LoVid, Matt Mikas, Michelle Nagai, Ben Owen, Radio Ruido, and Tom Roe.

FREE103POINT9 is a nonprofit media arts organization focused on establishing and cultivating the genre Transmission Arts by promoting artists who explore ideas around transmission as a medium for creative expression. These investigations include practices in AM and FM radio, Citizen's Band, walkie-talkie, generative sound, and other broad and microcasting technologies utilizing the transmission spectrum. free103point9 programs include a performance/exhibition/transmission series, an online radio station, a distribution label, an education initiative, and most recently an artist-in-residency program, and forthcoming study center and archive at free103point9 Wave Farm, located on 30 idyllic acres in upstate New York, 120 miles north of New York City. www.free103point9.org

FREE103POINT9 INTERNET STREAMING DEBUT/
DADO BLADE CD RELEASE SHOW

Tune in www.free103point9.org

free103point9 launches its 24-hour audio stream with
a special performance this Thursday, Aug. 14 from 8 p.m.-mid

Special performance from Shawn Onsgard.
Plus DJs Matt Mikas, Tom Roe, and others.

This internet-only microcast also celebrates the release of "Dado Blade," a CD from Aaron Davidson, Melissa Dubbin, Shawn Onsgard and Jared Ashburn.

More about the artists:

Melissa Dubbin + Aaron S. Davidson are media artists exploring the intersection of video, sound, sculpture, and installation through the creation of opto/electro/mechanical objects. Their work is informed and inspired by engineering, science (bio/robo/electro/ mechanical), architecture, and the navigation of the individual between these variables. Actively repurposing objects and protocols, they turn Braille and barcodes into music, and have used the lifecycle of parasitic wasps as inspiration for sound compositions and sculptural forms. They also create MIDI controllers/instruments for the improvisation of image and sound. It is through disregarding conventional demarcation lines between disciplines, that their hybrid devices result. Their work has been featured internationally in exhibitions, festivals, and performances.

Jared Ashburn

Ashburn is a 29-year-old who moved to Brooklyn, NY one year ago from Santa Fe, NM. He has produced a number of videos, video installations and sound recordings. He has a background in film, video, audio and electronics. Primarily, he is interested in the Structualist films of the late 1960's and early 1970's and the relationships/parallels with early video art.

Shawn Onsgard

As a media artist, Shawn's work uses audio technologies to apprehend an audible understanding of the world; a sound epistemology that might inform new and meaningful life experiences. The recipient of diverse commissions, his composition, sound sculpture, and performance work has been performed and exhibited internationally and throughout the United States.

FCC Affirms $10,000 Fine Against Brooklyn Microcaster

In July 2002, the commission fined Rev. Yvon Louis of Calvary Tabernacle for repeatedly airing unlicensed broadcasts at 93.7 MHz, 88.1 MHz, and 90.1 MHz in Brooklyn throughout late 2001 despite repeated warnings from the FCC. Rev. Louis responded to the FCC's Notice of Apparent Liability by asking the commission to cancel the fine, explaining that an FCC agent he invited to inspect the church did not find a transmitter during his Nov. 2001 inspection. Louis also says that he replaced the infringing one-watt transmitter with a "Part 15" transmitter, thus allowing him to air low-power FM broadcasts without the need of a license. The FCC disputed Louis' claims, noting that its field agents on numerous occasions detected signals far exceeding the permissible level for a nonlicensed FM from Calvary Tabernacle's Nostrand Ave. church. The commission also rejected Louis' argument that no operable transmitting equipment was located there. Furthermore, the FCC refused to cancel or reduce the fine, explaining that Louis continuously broadcast illegally despite repeated warnings.

The New York Times recently wrote about Diner, "The owners...bring the diner idea up to date, offering the so1t of everyday food that appeals to the a1t crowd. Appetizers like simple green salad, goat cheese salad and 1nussels in a white wine broth, served with crisp, freshly cut f1ies, are well made. Main courses are also weJJ prepared. Dishes that are always on the 1nenu include a fine, thick hamburger, a moist roast chicken with mashed potatoes and admirable rib eye and skirt steaks. Perfectly cooked whole trout, served boned and sin1ply flavored with herbs, is a frequent special. A flourless chocolate cake is among the best desserts."
