FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF OUR RADIO SHOW WE HAVE CHOSEN TO EXPERIMENT WITH THE PROCESS OF RECORDING, RE-RECORDING AND THEN RESAMPLING MATERIAL THROUGH THE USE OF A FIELD RECORDER, A TAPE DICTAPHONE AND THE SOMA ETHER DEVICE. THIS PROCESS WILL CREATE AN ANALOGUE/FOUND FOOTAGE TEXTURE TO THE AUDIO GIVING A SENSE OF REALISM AND WHILE ADDING RETROISTIC QUALITIES.
THIS PROCESS ALSO CREATES OPPORTUNITY FOR AUDIO ANOMALIES IN THE RECORDING PROCESS SUCH AS FEEDBACK, TEXTURES FROM THE CONVERSION OF DIGITAL SAMPLES TO TAPE AND THEN BACK TO DIGITAL THROUGH STEREO RESAMPLING. THE SOMA ETHER DEVICE LOCATES ELECTROMAGNETIC FREQUENCIES THROUGH ALMOST EVERY OBJECT SUCH AS BEING ABLE TO CAPTURE RADIO FREQUENCIES THROUGH TREES. THIS RECORDING PROCESS HAS HELPED FURTHER EXPLORE THE MEANS OF EXPERIMENTATION WHEN WORKING WITH A CONCEPT AND MULTIPLE RECORDING PROCESSES.
WE ARE ALSO WORKING ON A SCRIPT IN WHICH THE AUDIO FROM THE INTERVIEWS WILL BE ARRANGED AT RANDOM AND STITCHED BACK TOGETHER. THIS BURROUGHS APPROACH WILL ADD NEW AND EXCITING CONTEXT TO THE MATERIAL AND ALLOW US TO WORK IN A MUCH MORE FREE-FLOWING MANNER ALLOWING MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR HAPPY ACCIDENTS AND A MORE AUTHENTIC FINAL PIECE OF RADIO ART.
