Abstract

Out Of Thin Air: Radio Art Essay #1 is a meta-referencing poetic reflection and meditation on radio art underpinned by an artistic treatment of dislocation, transmission, reception and place as a thematic underscore. The work is in the form of an abstract song cycle that chiefly oscillates between "songs" originating from High Frequency (HR) radio static/broadcasts between 3 and 30 MHz and those from interviewees replying to questions relating to radio art. Location recordings, sound effect and musical composition weave this originating material together to form a sonic confluence and juxtaposition of elements to stimulate the listener's imagination while offering an insight into the work's subject matter. Interviewees (in order of appearance): Armeno Alberts, Tom Roe, Jean-Philippe Renoult, Gregory Whitehead, GÃƒÂ¶tz Naleppa, Andrew McLennan, Elisabeth Zimmermann, Heidi Grundmann, Andreas HagelÃƒÂ¼ken, Teri Rueb and Kaye Mortley. Producer and Composer: Colin Black. High Frequency (HR) radio receiver operator: Dimitri Papagianakis. Duration: 25 min.
