RADIO NABU CONGUL 98.8 FM, RESIDENCY

I'm looking forward to be working this year with composer, instrument builder and microtonalist Kraig Grady at Radio Nabu Congul 98.8 FM (somewhere in Australia). I got to know Kraig before the days of social media when people had lively discussions on newsgroup forums. I was interested in just intonation and microtonality, having come from early music and Indian music into making my own instruments. Kraig was a guiding light throughout this process and beyond into the current era. 

Normally the resident would lean towards microtonal compositions but I want to widen the brief a little by making a piece about tuning rather than a piece in a specific tuning. Tuning  interpreted musically, environmentally, cosmically, personally, spiritually, in terms of physics or even motor mechanics, more of a radiophonic piece proper with different sonic strands and of course the essential elements of rupture, disruption, dislocation, transmission and disarticulation, fundamentals in the history of experimental radiophonic practice. Let's see what happens.

If you want to see something truly original in the world of imagination, dreamworlds and new music then have a look at the Anaphorian site. Marvels await you. I'd also invite you to enter into Kraig's sound world over on Bandcamp. My favourite albums are The Creation of the Worlds, The Stolen Stars and Our Rainy Season.
