Bent Radio Orchestra @ EXPO 2008
apologies for cross postings
From the People who brought you the Semorphonic Orchestra at Expo 2007 we
are crossfading in 2008 into…………………
The Bent Radio Orchestra™
The BRO™ will give its inaugural performance on Sunday 6th July in Brighton
Pavilion Gardens as part of Expo 2008 Radio Days
We are therefore seeking performers to participate in this unique event……
..
The piece will consist of a large number of players playing modified /
butchered / circuit bent or otherwise interfered with radios. The outputs of these
will be connected to a series of short range FM transmitters to enable the
audience to tune in to individuals or groups of performers with portable FM
radios. The audience will be free to move about the gardens to seek out
interesting sounds or combinations.
The performers will be required to bring a BATTERY POWERED radio to use , as
it is likely that some of these will be destroyed in the process of
performing it would be advisable not to bring one of great sentimental or monetary
value. As the process of playing also can involve opening up the insides it
would be more than a little dangerous to use mains equipment !
Players will be free to find their own playing positions in the gardens or
wander about creating opportunities for the audience to discover “secret
performances”.
The simplest way to get involved is to sign up , get yourself a radio , open
the back, turn it on, lick your fingers and ………………………………..dabble away
This event is suitable for sonic explorers of any age or experience
Useful information on how to get some truly extraordinary sounds out of your
radio can be found the in excellent “Handmade Electronic Music” by Nicolas
Collins (ISBN 0-415-97592-1) and also here
