A non-stop almost hour long mix featuring various archival pieces from various past Noise Days and Art’s Birthdays and other related occurrences (some even preceding the first official 24 Hours of Noise). What they all have in common is that Bill Mullan was there when they happened, sometimes contributing, sometimes merely bearing witness And they always shared a common goal, which was no fixed goal beyond noise, music, art, whatever. Nothing was ever written, rehearsed, practiced, planned in anyway. It all just happened.

San Francisco (or San Pancho, as it is known by locals) is a small town in the Nayarit region of Mexico. Once a small fishing village, then the site of an urban planning experiment in the 1970s, San Pancho is now a surfer town experiencing rapid gentrification. My father purchased land in San Pancho close to a decade ago, and I have visited annually since 2012. In that time, the sounds of the town have shifted. The noise of rural Mexico - roosters, gas company promotions, roadside produce vendors - are now accompanied by the sounds of nightlife and tourism growth - rumba-remixed hits, visitors on all-inclusive day trips, yoga retreats. This piece is an audio journal of San Pancho now, recorded in segments between December 16, 2016 and January 1, 2017.

“Inspired by experimental music, mail art, Fluxus, Dada and pataphysics, much of Bull’s practice has been ephemeral and dialogic, produced for underground audiences in artist-run and improvised contexts. Yet material things have played an important role as documents, pops, and aesthetic objects in their own right.” Hank Bull presents a new series of recordings for CiTR’s 24 Hours of Radio Art in advance of his new exhibition, Connexion, opening at the Burnaby Art Gallery January 19th.

“…an exploration of the possibilities that sampling provides to electronic composition…Oldies works as a meditation on the relationship between the radio medium and popular music, re-contextualizing melodies and fragments from hit songs originally disseminated through radio, and titled after a hallowed radio format.” Find out more here: http://www.citr.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Oldies-%E2%80%94-Explanation-1.pdf

Featuring all the pieces of CiTR production that aren’t quite good enough for real radio, bloopers is a testament to the DIY nature of community radio. “A fear of making mistakes held me back from making radio. This piece is meant to celebrate making mistakes; mistakes made on radio are, for the most part, transient and momentary but also can be hidden or erased.”

24 Hours of Radio Art 2017 continues with "Some Mad Scientists," radio drama from UBC professor Adam Frank:

"'Some Mad Scientists is based on an obscure ancient Greek text, a small part of the Hippocratic Corpus, which is a collection of more than sixty works associated with Hippocrates and the practices of ancient humoural medicine..."
