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
