You know art, it's always hanging around in galleries, parading stages, and showing up on street corners. According to French artist Robert Filliou, art was born Ja million years ago when someone dropped a sponge in a bucket of water. He decided art needed a good party, so he declared January 17 art's birthday and called for it to be an international holiday of feasting and celebration and making presents for art. Eventually, there could be two days of internation­ al celebration, then three, four and so on until a million years from now, every day is art's birthday. This year marks the 1,000,037th birthday of art. In celebration, CiTR has teamed up with the Western Front to celebrate art's birthday in style, with 24 Hours of Radio Art. "Radio art?" you wonder. And just what might that dubious category include? The soothing sounds of white noise and feedback loops? Someone gargling for half an hour? It has been done and may be done again. But radio art is not merely an onanistic exercise designed to alienate listeners. It is a distinct artform that is fluid and immediate; you get one chance to hear it with no possibility to rewind. Radio art has no physicality, it happens in the space of the imagination: "I hear voices, but there's nobody there." And in that space, all sounds are possible. Most radio art operates less like theatre and more like cinema: a montage of sounds collaged and lay­ ered together. Sounds fade in and out, then cut suddenly to a new theme. But there might also be plays, readings, ambient mutterings, and blatant messages. Whole geographies of sound may come to life, or life may be reduced to minimalist tinklings. A performer might go loud, live and vicious on the mic, or they might sidle up to your ear and talk sweet. Radio by design and radio by chance. Non-sequitors abound. We are assaulted by sound every day — from the humming of your fridge to insidious muzak — so everything is raw material. But what makes this different is that audio art will not try to sell you anything. Radio art is free and public. So when you tune in to CiTR 101.9 fM on Sunday, January 17, 1999, you will hear a host of local and international artists surfing the radio waves for 24 hours. Jam sessions using Internet audio streaming feeds will let us send the sounds around the globe. It's a day to retune your ears and listen up while you're making your own present for art.* DISCORDER IS ONLINE CHECK OUT BACK ISSUES SEND US SOME MAIL to honour with degrees or "1 congratulate the Senate I November 4, 1998 the Uni- scholarships." at the University of Victoria.

It's a hootenanny of sweetly weathered proportions, free-wheeling clap-alongs and perfectly boozy balladry - not to mention ass kicking pop songs about rotary wheels and shotgun shells. Love You Just the Same is what a trucker cap would sound like if it could sing. Oh, and play violin." -- Magnet "HOT LIST!

The unique social, political, and economic conditions of West Berlin during the 1980s created a distinct urban environment that is reflected in the band’s music. The city has been preserved by Einstürzende Neubauten in the form of sound recordings, and conserved in the unique instruments originally found by the band on the streets of West Berlin.

  • Einstürzende Neubauten (DE)
    2007-10-31 11:02 CET Einstürzende Neubauten (DE) 26 april - Stockholm, Berns 27 april - Göteborg, Trädgår'n I närmare 30 år har avantgardisterna Einstürzende Neubauten överröst oss med industriella tongångar och med första skivan på eget bolag, "Alles Wieder Offen", har de gjort ett av sina allra bästa album. Skivan spelades in under 200 dagar i bandets egen studio och finansierades av fans som har prenumererat på exklusiva skivor, webcasts mm via bandets hemsida www.neubauten.org. 2000 års "Silence is Sexy" fick oss kanske att tro att bandet hade lugnat ner sig och kanske till och med blivit tystare, men allt det ställs nu på ända. Bandet tar sitt uttryck vidare, använder både en stråkkvartett och konventionella instrument, givetvis vid sidan av sina hembyggda instrumentkreationer. 1981 släppte bandet första albumet "Kollaps", som sägs ha spelats in i ett hålrum under en motorväg i Berlin, och raserade alla konventioner med oljud, metalliska rytmer och avgrundsvrål. Det är ett banbrytande och samtidigt svårlyssnat album, men redan här förklarade Neubauten krig mot alla konventionella sätt att lyssna på musik och blev förgrundsfigurer i en ny våg av industriella band. Instrumenten stals från byggarbetsplatser, skrotupplag och järnaffärer. De spelade på stålfjädrar, metallrör, tryckluftsborrar, hammare, sågar och ostämda gitarrer, allt toppat med Blixa Bargelds hårresande skrik och feberaktigt apokalyptiska texter. Publiken blev lika delar chockerad, förbryllad och fascinerad. "Halber Mensch" (1985) och "Haus der Lüge" (1989) blev två milstolpar som än idag rankas som verkliga klassiker. På industripionjärernas senare skivor har de lugnat ner sig betydligt och har en mer konstnärlig och intellektuell framtoning, men det extrema och experimentella står ännu i centrum och de hittar ständigt nya sätt att förnya sig.
