Collage-College Radio, Audio

This is the beginning of a probably soon-to-be-unreleased podcast of archived recordings from 1993-1999 of radio programs designed to annoy, confound, massage, perspicate, and gruntmuggle the listeners' ears. Programming was planned ad hoc in situ and realized three days later in the REM-cycles of the audience as they slept.

In this first episode (Introducing, 2009-03-29):

• what is audio collage?
• the grand gateway to audio collage
• first shows: the experiments, the ranting, the apologies
  
• Steve, Paul, and i
• 3 pairs of hands/lapsang souchong =
  6 turntables*e^(10-x)
• but what does it sound like? "bhwaannnngh"
  
• the roots of audio collage: tubers!
  
• meet the Beatles--again, and Again, & AGAIN
  
• thanks, go back to your room

Revisit

A friend of mine from undergraduate years has completed for the second year a large project. It involves a lot of coding and time spent on his part, as well as being humorously succinct in writing. I am not so succinct, humorous, or ambitious, but I appreciate the effort and energy that projects of this scale require, and I also appreciate the resultant satisfaction derived from their completion. But check it out, for the humor, the music, and the scale of the endeavor. (Photo by Fellowship of the Rich.)
