Welcome to the first radio show of k-radio. This equipment and sound test session was recorded in the Redruth studio by Jowan and is a live mix by Oliver from Falmouth. Jowan and Oliver will be performing weekly Sunday tests until the station is running stable. From that date onwards k-radio will be inviting other kinds of sound artists to perform on the electronic arts radio station for Cornwall.

Welcome to the second radio show of k-radio. This 2nd equipment and sound test session was recorded in the Falmouth studio. This short show will see Oliver alone in the middle of the night after traveling the country. He has promised to try and speak a little more this week and perform a short improvised set in collaboration with his 'generative machine'.

After kicking off with 2 songs about stealing, the Third k-radio show contains
"more guitars than you can shake a stick at" so Oliver says.

But then what does he know about guitars?

Well you can see what he knows by his follow up to the improvised set last
week, seeing as no-one complained about a man left alone late at night battling
away in the computer with a mind of its own and always on the edge of crashing.

As always feedback is really essential in order to know what on earth is going
on, or space come to think of it.

After a study of how to do things on radio one. k-radio brings you a proper
good show. Heres’s a couple of notes to self from the phone:

“So err, I have a .... a amazing spice girls .... remix .... and .... err
.... I have discovered my least favorite .... musician to date .... who ....
happens to pretty much be the new Robby Williams by the looks of things ....
and err .... yeah .... I’m outdoors this time .... but err .... I hope you
enjoy these things, but I don't think I’m going to do it the same way next

Well I’ve just heard the first k-radio show not by me, and it’s a very odd marvel to be sure:

Whilst Oliver Baggott and scottnoskills, Emily and I were being indecisive about going to the beer festival and getting really annoyed and confused, I snuck on a cassette to record the short moment that Scott and Baggott had a little catch up session.

What with the amazing qualities of cassette, the wonky floorboards of the floor the decks reside upon and the impromptu un-planned ness I think this is a sure winner.

The mix sent in this week by that wonderful freddie mercoi marks the decision to give Scottnoskills his own weekly show as of Thursday. Freddie has been working undercover with us for some time and this is a wonderful chance to hear what goes on behind the scenes. As for Scott, over to him on thursday for his introductory Short Songs Set.

So SCOTTNOSKILLS has his own show today and from now on every Thursday that he can. I imagine he will be writing his own news letter to you about the shows, but today I shall get the show on the road for him…

SSSS – SCOTTNOSKILLS Short Songs Set
mixed by SCOTTNOSKILLS

… is exactly as it says, 90 songs, under a minute each, music from all sorts of backgrounds, with only one thing in common – Shortness.
Please give SCOTTNOSKILLS some feedback on the comments bit under his mix section of the website.

our featured artist today is Erikk Fletcher. He will be playing a mixture of mostly his stuff with a couple of things not by him, thrown in, just in case we "get lost". There is a lot of experimental sound stuff in there, so you have been warned in advance. Erikk is Cornish by birth but doesn't often visit the motherland as "its too damp" and "funk is so 10 years ago". so, without further ado, k-radio bring you Erikk Fletcher's jägermeister mix.

featuring:
. heather mills - tvhell2beat3straighttrikosong 2.wav featuring A long and prosperous retirement.wav for bedsheet and guitar
. an amaizing live recording from 'four black squares' covering 'no noubt' on the 25th of April 2003, 22:00:20
. 19200000hz/sec - [natural noise set of flint rock versus storm wind] vs the flumps

"when humans clap i often cringe"
Apologies for the introduction sequence of this mix, the computer needed to establish a tempo somehow. This weeks mix has real and pretend violins in it, see if you can spot the difference. This weeks mix has real W.Carlos and some midi files controlling old synthesizers, spot the differences? Ivor cutler plays marimba and the computer claps along annoyingly for the first 5 minutes. Not much else to report in words this week apart from there are some real recordings from space.

This mix was performed by Olivers Computer without any help other than a little instruction.
- It is in 3 movements [intro-mix-finale]
- at least 3 songs must play at all times
- no beat matching alowed
- change volume 3 times within each track
- pan in similar mannor
- select tracks at random from collection

This is rad02

well my show this week is on the theme of "farms, farming , farmers"
it contains some talking but mainly people singing and playing instruments.
its pretty light hearted silly stuff but with moments of seriousness
and anger too.
it features well known people and some not so known who perhaps should be...
suggestions of future themes would be welcomed cos i like a challenge.
All songs, spoken word bits etc all come from my collection.
i didnt just type "farm" into limewire or summat and let that do the
work for me.
hope you enjoy.

Today we have our first field recording on k-radio.

Generally the field recordings being broadcast by k-radio will be recorded within Cornwall -This way we can transmit the actual sound of Cornwall to the universe, but to kick off this gripping format of sound work, we have a conceptually Cornish piece.
