THE FOCAL POINT OF OUR GROUPS RADIO SHOW HAS SHIFTED TOWARDS THE INFLUENCE OF CULT FIGURES. THE POWER OF A PREACHER AND HIS MESSAGE. TAKING IDEAS FROM HISTORIES MOST POPULAR AND HATED FIGURES OF CULTURE AND THEIR ABILITY TO INFLUENCE A MASS THROUGH DEMENTED GOSPEL OR SUBVERTED DEVOTION. THROUGH SOURCING THE AUDIO FILES OF THE CONGREGATION OF SCIENTOLOGY, SERMONS OF RELIGIOUS GROUPS OF DAVID KORESH AND CHARLES MANSON WE HAVE SORT TO CONSTRUCT AN AUDIO COLLAGE OF RELIGIOUS RHETORIC BY WEAVING THE WORDS OF THESE FIGUREHEADS INTO A NEW PIECE OF AUDIO ON WHICH THE LISTENER CAN TUNE INTO AND DECIPHER ITS CONTENT.
OUR APPROACH TO THIS CONCEPT IS THROUGH RE-RECORDING INTERVIEWS INTO TAPE/DICTAPHONE FORMAT AND THEN RESAMPLING INTO GRANULAR SYNTH ENGINE THAT REPURPOSES THE SOUND AND STRUCTURE. THROUGH PROCESS OF RANDOMISATION AND RESTRUCTURE, WE HOPE TO CREATE SOMETHING THAT PERSONIFIES THE ABSURDITY OF RELIGIOUS HYSTERIA AND ITS QUALITIES.
WE WANT THE LISTENER TO EXPERIENCE THIS RADIO SHOW AS IF IT WAS A REAL SERMON BEING BROADCAST BY THE MOST HEINOUS FIGURES WHO HAVE WARPED SACRED TEACHINGS INTO THEIR OWN DEMENTED VIEW OF SALVATION THROUGH MANIPULATION AND TREACHERY.
