happy christmas everyone!
this is actually about a little island (hopen)up above the top of norway in the middle of the freezing sea - it's only inhabitants are the four people who man the weather station there - but it is also quite christmasy...
a random evening with help from various friends real and metaphorical...
ended up with me happily spending some time in an army sleeping bag on a seafront bench enjoying the sea and the stars.
Knappen did a very wonky dj set at ''late at Tate'' very early realy, on the 7th of November it features a koept artists and some random new and old things by various artist full track listing below. as you might hear it featurres a lot of baloons letting of air samples in the background and a very lame rave alarm,this is cause the dj was a little spassed out by flu and scared of the reverb of the room which you can look at here: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3059/3015733202_06773a5f45.jpg?v=0

An audio work by Patrick Simons(Glorious Ninth) . Initially recorded as part of an installation for "Disrupting Narratives" symposium, Tate Modern, 2007.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
