“Sound Art” (Used 87 times)

The formation of this collection of sound pieces began with the piling up of arbitrary objects in a table drawer, which led to the making of a simple single coil pickup; it was just a small ceramic magnet of unknown origin and a copper wire taken out of an old telephone – this was the only recording device used on this album.
Running a risk of sounding too predictable, one could say that this collection portrays the secret life of small metal objects.

Here is the last release for year 2016, a compilation of Artists from La P'tite Maison, a French netlabel dedicated to minimal, electroacoustic, experimental, ambient, sound art, and drone musics.

See you soon in 2017 for new great releases...

Scanning consists of continuous replays of Chicago FM station scans from the very immediate past.

Episode 21: Rob Ray

Subject to Greater Uncertainties weaves together Rob Ray’s interests in military operations, the desert, and natural resource extraction operations as expressions of human comprehension at the fringes of the complex system we call “the world.” Rob Ray asks: How do we act upon knowledge of which we are aware is only a tiny slice of something much larger and complicated? What are the intended and unintended outcomes of those actions?
