Disinformation on BBC Radio 4 - Noise and War

BBC Radio 4 interview from the "Broadcasting House" show, 2 Nov 2008, discussing an RNID report about hearing problems experienced by Armed Forces personnel returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. The programme discussed simple strategies that can be applied by tinnitus sufferers to ameliorate the sleep loss which in practice is often the worst symptom of their condition. The interview recommends that people who experience sleep loss owing to tinnitus mask the ringing in their ears by playing very quiet and gentle radio static when they go to sleep at night, but the specific type of static best used is pure "white" noise, or the clean continuous hissing sound which can be found on some "quiet" FM radio frequencies. Further advice can be obtained from The British Tinnitus Association at...

The tinnitus simulation that appears 19 seconds and also 3 minutes 20 seconds into this sequence could indeed be heard on the radio broadcast, but, even with headphones, is virtually inaudible after compression for You Tube.

The interview discussed other aspects of nocturnal listening - the influence that the SOUND of RAF Lyneham air base in Wiltshire (home of the Hercules C130 transporter planes) has on the imagery of the Disinformation sound art project, particularly on "National Grid" by Disinformation. RAF Lyneham is described as "one of the most musical RAF bases"...

Steel Sky

“This interactive installation confronts the viewer with an acoustic representation of the electrical brain activities that govern his being at that very moment. All our mental and physiological processes are controlled by myriads of transitory circuits in an invisible, obscure place in the crown of our head. That intimate topography is mirrored in this sky of steel as hammers hit the plates in shifting rhythms and combinations, transforming parts of your consciousness into macroscopic dimensions.
‘Staalhemel’ is a responsive environment which offers a walk through a sheltered space that is also the space of one’s own mind.”

Varèse 360º

* From 16/04/10 to 18/04/10
* Location: London Southbank Centre, United Kingdom

The complete works, totalling just under three hours of music performed in three concerts with accompanying visuals, of the French composer and ‘father of electronic music’. London Southbank Centre, 16 & 18 April, times/prices vary.

n 1950, the Columbia University Music Department requisitioned a tape recorder to use in teaching and for recording concerts. In 1951, the first tape recorder arrived, an Ampex 400, and Vladimir Ussachevsky then a junior faculty member, was assigned a job that no one else wanted: the care of the tape recorder. This job was to have important consequences for Ussachevsky and the medium he developed. Electronic music was born. Over the next ten years, Ussachevsky and his collaborators established the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center, which Ussachevsky directed for twenty years. It was the first large electronic music center in the United States, thanks to the path-breaking support of the Rockefeller Foundation and encouragement from two of the country's leading universities. The Center became one of the best-known and most prolific sources of electronic music in the world. All of the music on this historic 2006 reissue is the result of the pioneering work of the Center and its composers.

SAIL_OR: ale jo, nakonec vyjde už ráno, už jsem s biografií u Man Machine, zatím 8800 znaků, to bude epos

trram tadadam, o tomhle bude moje analýza příští týden! (dnes už na to nemám čas)

Kraftwerk are a band trapped in the vast frame of their apparent influence. Aptly for a group so fascinated by travel they enjoy an image as the ultimate electronic pioneers-- "the reason music sounds like it does today," as one BBC documentary put it. Let's take for granted then that it's impossible to imagine modern pop music without Kraftwerk and try a more interesting thought experiment: Let's try to imagine Kraftwerk without modern pop. What if they'd released the same body of work and influenced nobody? Would it still sound as good?

Site-specific performance, instalace a živé satelitní vysílání v síti EBU
v rámci Sezóny euroradia 2009 / 2010:

Performativní site-specifická instalace je veřejným vyvrcholením dvouletého projektu Nejmilejší zvuky Prahy autorů Miloše Vojtěchovského a Petera Cusacka, který se uskutečnil v rámci mezinárodní česko-německé koprodukce rádio d-cz.

"Site-specific instalace a živé vysílání jsou poctou člověku, který napomáhal ke zlepšení kulturních, politických, zdravotních a sanitárních podmínek života a přispěl k přijetí modernity v Praze a dalších městech střední a východní Evropy. Cílem skladby a zvukové instalace je znovuoživení pozemských, nebeských a podzemních vrstev Pražských vodovodních sítí: jejich rigolů, potrubí pitné vody, řek, podzemních toků, dešti. Nabízí reflexi transformačního procesu, znečistění vody, sedimentace, recyklace, čistění a kulturní a chemické trans-kódování prvků."

SAIL_OR: jeho pro tenhle klub nejdůležitější film, Wochenende z roku 1930, se mi zatím nepovedlo najít.
Každopádně se jedná o film bez obrazu, má tedy formu spíš rozhlasovky nebo i soundtracku a je předzvěst konkrétní hudby i současné moderní kompozice.

Walter Ruttman



Ruttmann was born in Frankfurt am Main on December 28, 1897. He studied architecture in Zurich and then painting in Munich. [...] In ‹Berlin. Die Sinfonie einer Großstadt› he applied the principles of his abstract studies and film montage to realistic photographs from the city of Berlin. [...] After ‹Berlin› he turned to sound experiments and was eventually able to make ‹Melodie der Welt›, a Tobis film commissioned by Hapag-Lloyd and the first fulllength German sound film. [...] Ruttmann did not emigrate. He collaborated on a film for a ‹Reichsparteitag› but withdrew from the team for unknown reasons. Beginning in 1934 he was employed as a director by UFA and made cultural, industrial, commercial, and propaganda films. On July 15, 1941, he died in Berlin after an operation.»
