Audiopollen August 2nd 2006

hello friends and acquaintances,
audiopollen is a weekly radio program exploring experimental, avant-garde, outsider, noise and other forms of music. it broadcasts in brisbane on 4ZZZ 102.1fm on Wednesdays at 11pm and will eventually stream to the world in one way or another...

tonights edition of audiopollen is hosted by joel stern.

We start todays program with a track by Brisbane visual and sound artist Eugene Carchesio which comes from the audio CD produced for his exhibition Everything Takes Time / Time Takes Everything held at the Brisbane IMA (10 June 0 22 July 2006). The exhibition consisted of a wall painting, this soundtrack and 'the space between'. Eugene's music for the exhibition consists of beautifully intricate electro-acoustic compositions focussing almost exclusively on rhythm. This minimalistic, microsonic mode of composition overlaps perfectly with Eugene's geometric post op-art style of abstract painting.

We move on to welcome our guest in the studio this week, recent Brisbane arrival, Tom Hall. Tom is a multimedia artist whose work deals with sonic, visual and conceptual environments which are captured, manipulated and recontextualised using various processes. First we hear an unmanipulated field recording made at one of Brisbane ferry terminals; a great peice dealing with water rhythms and the friction between the wood and metal of the jetty. Next we hear a live in-studio performance from Tom, a 15 set of improvised musique concrete. Lovely.
Tom's work is documented on his website: http://www.tomhall.com.au/
Be sure to check out the blog section which features great documentation of Brisbane underground events.

We finished this edition of audiopollen with a brilliant slow burning piece by Dean Roberts called Popular Productions Redux from his recent self published work on Formacentric Editions.
