improvised broadcast media performance
wow.
i just took a cab home from newtown. on the way i was spoiled with a once in a life time radio broadcast interference that built up to what can only be described as a full on contemporary sound art performance.
it started as a news broadcast about papilloma virus, but was quickly cut in with a high pitch ringing tone that started dominating the broadcast. then the speech took over again only be broken by a rhythmic echo cutting in and out and building up to an electric interference overcoming the broadcast.
for the entire duration of the cab drive the sound kept mutating non-stop and the performance grew more and more interesting as the trip went on.
when i got to my place i was tempted just to stay in the cab to see how this play would climax, but i fear i am too poor to keep riding a cab around the city over and over again.
i wish you were there to hear it bunnies, but for now you just have to take my word on it: it was awesome.

fantastic! who needs sound art when we have fuckdup radio?
oh naturally i was off my tits at the time...
i'm telling you shannon, it was a definite 'found object' or should i say 'found audio' just screaming for any means of recording it.
it was like seeing two rottweilers, on a tandem bike in pink tutus and not having a camera with you.
