Trump this Horror Show - New Release by Birds of Hell

Norwich-based Birds of Hell's lyrics are an expulsion of desperate anger, in a world where click-bait is juxtaposed with horror stories and 'stupid questions asked to the internet'.
"Played live, Let's Have The Windows Open digresses into semi-improvised lyrics and over the last few months Donald Trump has been the focus of these ad-libs."

This Week's Free Lab Radio -Mississippi Prison Songs Reimagined

Mississippi State Penitentiary
30 ARTISTS REIMAGINE THE SOUNDS OF PRISON LIFE IN THE 1940S

The Prison Songs Project invited 30 artists such as Laurence Colbert, a member of the band Ride, and Karhide a post-rock circles musician to rework the original folksongs recorded and written in the Mississippi State Penitentiary in the 1940s. The results are both subtle and dramatic.

The project examines the lives of the prisoners of the Mississippi State Penitentiary in the late 1940s, by reimagining the work songs recorded and sung there in the 40s and 50s.

The Mississippi State Penitentiary founded in 1901, is the oldest prison in the USA and was and is known by its inmates as “Parchman Farm”. As well as a prison, thanks to Alan Lomax’s pioneering work, the prison is also an important location in the history of field recording as a practice and folk music as a culture.
Mississippi State Penitentiary

From ‘Eighteen Hammers’ to ‘No More My Lawd’, the songs are a moving portrait of prison life, and defiant statements of hope and unity in the face of appalling conditions. The project is one part of a global field recording and sound art project called Cities and Memory, which aims to present and remix the sounds of the world through a global sound map. Each location on the map has two sounds: a documentary field recording and a reworking of that sound. 

Since its launch in 2014 the Cities and Memory project has had nearly 300,000 listens, records both the current reality of a place, alongside its imagined, alternative counterpart, a processing or an interpretation that imagines that place and time as somewhere else, somewhere new - "a remixing the world, one sound at at time".  More than 240 field recordists and sound artists from as far afield as Calcutta, Los Angeles and Cape Town have taken part, providing field recordings and radical reimaginings of global sounds.

Tonight's Free Lab Radio - Deep White Sound


11-midnight tonight we host sounds from a wonderful collective across the pond.

deepwhitesound (DWS) is an international online label of free, experimental music founded in 2005 based in USA. Born in Hawaii DB Amorin, DWS's founder, lives in living in Portland, Oregan.
DWS say their mission is bi-fold: to create challenging, experimental work and make it available via digital download for free - and to support and foster a community for artists working at the fringes of art, technology and society. 
DWS gives special attention to interdisciplinary work in new media, installation, performance as well as generative and web-based mediums that "expand the possibilities of how sound-based art is experienced, distributed and discussed". While female, queer and ethnic minority experimental artists comprise a woefully under-represented and under-supported demographic, they are of particular interest to DWS who champion the margins. However DWS state clearly that they "seek out and support work from all people, everywhere, who wish to broaden the scope of what is possible".

DB Amorin is the founder of deepwhitesound. Born in Honolulu, HI USA currently living in Portland, OR USA, Amorin runs deepwhitesound to support the vision of experimental artists, as well as to propagate the ideology that art should be free to access and share. He also currently works for ProjectGrow, an art studio and urban farm for adults with developmental disabilities and The Creative Music Guild, an all-volunteer non-profit organization facilitating experimental performance in Portland, OR. As a visual and sound artist, his work typically deals with perception, identity and representation, using cheap reproduction methods and DIY techniques to explore malfunction and abstraction in form. For more information and samples of his visual art, visit www.dbamorin.com

Tonight's Free Lab Radio: El Iqaa - نشر

Remains in the Medium of Time
[photo/installation, 2010 -ongoing]
Detroit-Beirut based artist and musician Joe Namy aka El Iqaa explores his Lebanese identity through sound, archive and the word. For this Saturday's Free Lab Radio Show we journey with him on a two album mix, involving some very short snippets of sound that are an audible connection between his magpie-style practice of picking up sounds around him, and his digital work as a music producer. Catch it on air from 11pm-midnight, details below.  Namy's audio work is interesting to us because in his hands, the music plundered becomes a tool for a sonic exploration, ResonanceFM being the representative home of sonic exploration in the UK. WE met Namy at Art Dubai, and interviewed him for our radio project Eavesdropper/ Falgoosh, but tonight the words are only embedded within the sounds.

#Najwa Karam #Ya Habayeb #1989 #label: relax
 So how does Namy present these explorations? As El Iqaa, Joe Namy works with sampled sounds, documentary / music videos and photography to investigate aspects of identity, memory, power and currents encoded in music. He says his ideas 'often revolve around the space between two technics turntables' - between fading and amplifying.  Namy has produced two albums under the moniker El Iqaa, 'Detroit Beirut' (2007) and 'Circulate'
نشر(2011. Namy explores these issues through quotes and cuts from specific definitive samples (ranging from Abdel Halim Hafez to Pierre Boulez, Amiri Baraka to Trisha Donnelly + much more). The splices in these albums are mixed with original recorded sounds to create a dialogue between the past and the future, in hopes of trying to make sense of the present, and grapple with issues around language and translation, memory, movement, electricity ( as an energy resource) and appropriation.

Namy also hosts a sporadically frequent radio program Electric Kahraba on artonair.org.  You can check more of his sounds and other exploratory projects, often exploring the musical history of his roots, at www.olivetones.com
