Making Waves

Continuing from the previous episode of Making Waves, NAISA features more from Michael Waterman and Mannlicher Carcano. Included in the mix is an interview that Darren Copeland did with Michael Waterman about Songs of Ice and his other transmission art installations as well as sounds from the Art’s Birthday telematic performance by Mannlicher Carcano from January 17, 2020.

Mannlicher Carcano started making experimental noise in Winnipeg in 1987 before dispersing to various cities and using community radio phone lines as a means to keep the group playing together. NAISA's Darren Copeland met up with Mannlicher Carcano member Michael Waterman (known as Porter Hall in MC-parlance) who is working on a new installation at NAISA. Michael is sharing with Making Waves an excerpt of the current episode from their radio show, which is aired every Saturday on CHMR in St. John's Nfld from 2:30 to 4:40 EST. https://chmrfm.weebly.com/saturday.html

This episode of Making Waves takes listeners on a tour of Gordon

Making Waves re-visiting two artists featured two years ago who both create sound art with Saws - Sonia Paço-Rocchia and Alan Bloor.

Making Waves looks to the future with a sound art

Garth Paine is an Australian composer and interactive media artist teaching at Arizona State University. Upon his first visit to Arizona he became fascinated with the soundscapes of the deserts of the American south west and from this interest he formed a community-engaged research team to study and document the soundscapes of national monument parks in close distance to Phoenix. One of the many outcomes of Listen(n) is a Virtual Reality sound installation which allows listeners to experience these unique soundscapes in a surprisingly life-like way with the simple combination of a 360 degree photograph and an ambisonic soundscape recording. New Adventures in Sound Art is hosting their VR work as part of its Listen In exhibition in South River, Canada.

Darren Copeland interviews Udo Noll about the online sound mapping project Radio Aporee and the distinctive way in which it conceives of transmission art as an open-ended multi-user medium.

Andra McCartney in conversation with Darren Copeland talks about her two works created fifteen years apart. Both works were made from cross-Canada train trips. The first during the winter of 2003 and the second while the wild fires were happening last summer in Northern Ontario and British Columbia. Both works will be broadcast from NAISA on May 3 at 7 pm on NAISA Radio.

On today's edition of Making Waves we listen to two sound documentaries from the Deep Wireless Festival of Radio and Transmission Art - Kime Ani by Edzi'u and Gateway by Benoit Bories. Both pieces are included on the Deep Wireless 14 online album.
