tob - transmitting object behaviours tuning radios and interference
tesla podewil palais - guest appearance at tesla radio night, talking about particle wave with seamus who did a fabulous 30 minute cut-up/mix from the material we recorded.
lunch with sabine, talked experimental radio
special guest of radio kopernicus workshop along with felix kubin, who came up with the idea which the project is based on, for a german-polish radio. interesting to see their working process, 6 young producers, 2 admin and production support people, and various technical support. look forward to hearing the results on the airwaves or streamed in ether.
www.schlosslanke.de friends of torben and jasmine have rented a castle for the summer, doing music and food and artists studios. 9 days not long enough, feel like I live here again. stepped back into an alternative life that has been continuing on without me. a little sad at leaving, but then started chatting to a friendly aussie at the easyjet checkin - it sure is easy, says this guy in broad strine - and he kept me from reflective melancholy with stories of drinking and travel. also had some great ideas about bridges - from time as a mechanic in the army, he reckons I can get to watch a bridge being blown up - they build them just to destroy, for training. but not cabled. he suggested recording the cables while they're being tested, as they are strained until breaking point. and just before they snap, he tells me, you can hear them start to sing...
no way. I hadn't told him the name of this project.
yeah, when you're winching something, that's how you know when to stop. I love that, the bridges sing just before they break apart. just like tacoma narrows. looks like bridges and military is a connection I'm going to have to explore more thoroughly.
but for now, back to the global symphony. really must write that blurb for keely.
