Audiographics — or New Wilderness Audiographics — was a New Wilderness Foundation project of the 1970s. Audiographics offered a number of sound artists the opportunity to record a variety of works — experimental and traditional music, poetry, storytelling and other sound and language art — in a professional recording studio. His closest collaborator, however, was the poet Jerome Rothenberg, with whom, in 1964, he founded and co-directed The New Wilderness Foundation, which explored the avant-garde in all its dimensions, presenting concerts, issuing cassette recordings and, with another major collaborator, RIP Hayman, publishing EAR Magazine, which chronicled new and unusual composition as had no magazine since Minna Lederman’s legendary “Modern Music” in the years before the World Wars.    The episode features: Tom Johnson, Phillip Corner, Alison Knowles, Jackson Mac Low and Pauline Oliveros, Charlie Morrow, R.I.P Hayman, Richard Schechner and Joan MacIntosh and Ocarina Orchestra.
