Ridgewood Radio features concert recordings by adventurous bands and experimental musicians and restored archival tapes from private and institutional collections captured at venues large and small across the five boroughs of New York. It is produced by David Weinstein and Outpost Artists Resources operating out of the Ridgewood section of Queens, NY, where you'll find more yellow bricks than on the road to Oz and the cemetery of your choice is never more than a few blocks from home.

The little mousies announce another Ridgewood Radio Show!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:03pm
Stanley:

A left turn on this show and you'd be facing back where you started.
I think.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:06pm
fred:

Good afternoon David, Ruth, Henry, Stanley, and other listeners

Hey Ranjit, are you listening?

Hi-as my daughter would say, this is Gamel-licious!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:08pm
steveo:

hello David; interesting show so far!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:08pm
fred:

STEIM is such an important place. I heard their survival was dicey some years ago, but the lack of alarming emails since is a good sign
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:11pm
weinstein:

I worry about STEIM too. We should check up on them.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:13pm
weinstein:

Welcome everybody... I'm a little backassward today, as Stanley noted. But the music will not be damaged by my clumsiness!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 3:15pm
Sem Chumbo:

Hello, DW, and all.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:17pm
weinstein:

Hello Sem, join the ruckus!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 3:21pm
Webhamster Henry:

Vexations sound good on tines!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:30pm
weinstein:

Vexations the perfect vehicle to program to auto-play. Though the concert version is something you must do once.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 4:01pm
Webhamster Henry:

You hear that mash up of Music for Airports and Metal Machine Music?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:06pm
weinstein:

Must check that out!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:07pm
fred:

I had never heard Music For Airports and was curious about it. Not my thing
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:11pm
weinstein:

Wow Fred. Maybe in the right airport?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:15pm
northguineahills:

When they did Brian Eno's Music for Airports at JFK, a bunch of hipster kids left a drunken mess at the terminal it was performed (It might have been a NY Post article).
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:19pm
northguineahills:

I don't think I've heard this version of Rainforest.

@fred: I'm a sucker for all of Eno's 70s ambient pieces.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:19pm
fred:

@David: You might have hit upon my issue: flying is risky for me because of ear trouble, so I'm unfamiliar with airports. That's probably why I miss the point
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:22pm
fred:

Rainforest, though, that's more my thing
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:27pm
weinstein:

Maybe its a complexity thing because both are arguably ambient.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:34pm
northguineahills:

The Philip's Pavilion was the image for my first cd.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:36pm
weinstein:

The book to read and look at is Space Calculated in Seconds, I believe. Impossible to find.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:39pm
northguineahills:

Poème électronique was on the 8 cd comp for my music literature class I took as a freshman in college, it immediately became a mixtape staple of mine.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:41pm
fred:

I once heard Poème Electronique played on the acousmonium of Radio France. It takes another dimension within that kind of setting
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:41pm
weinstein:

Marc Treib's book is $950 new on Amazon but apparently you can download a PDF for free.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:42pm
weinstein:

@Fred: yes, a lot of the things on this show are best heard in surround or delicious acoustics. Hard to record.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:42pm
steveo:

feeling left out with just my 2 speakers
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:48pm
Stanley:

Sound installations, eh?
Well, now I know. (strokes chin pensively).
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:48pm
weinstein:

Yeah, quad just never made it past gimmickry for even the most dedicated audiophile.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:49pm
weinstein:

@Stanley: a slippery group those sound folks who embrace or reject the terminology!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:49pm
Stanley:

Thanks for this evening's show, David.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 4:50pm
Sem Chumbo:

Agreed, deadly disappointment in early quad. Binned the whole thing pretty quickly.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:51pm
weinstein:

Thanks to you all. You surprise me each week and I am grateful for that.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 4:51pm
Webhamster Henry:

5.1 was supposed to take over the world too. Maybe it still can, but I kept tangling those speaker wires.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 4:53pm
doctorjazz:

Thanks for the show, enjoyed it!
(5.1 seems to have done OK for home theater/movies, don't think it ever became big for music).
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 4:53pm
Webhamster Henry:

I'll be up in the CRAIVE lab in a few weeks. ccc-rpi.org...

192 speakers.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:53pm
northguineahills:

Thanks David!

Falkor was Luck Dragon, is that a Lucky Dragon?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:54pm
weinstein:

Interesting that movie soundtrack thing made so much of 5.1 but pop and "serious" music not.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:55pm
weinstein:

@Henry: make use of your 192 wisely! Enjoy!

Hey, I'm late!
Have a memory of a recreation of Rainforest in the atrium of LACMA,
possibly in late 70s, and David Amran having something to do with it.

@Henry: A researcher where I work spend part of the summer in a residency at EMPAC working with a similar setup. It was in New York state, could it be the same place?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:58pm
weinstein:

That's the place.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 4:58pm
Webhamster Henry:

@Fred yep .. it's at RPI, but not on campus where EMPAC is.

Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 5:01pm
Webhamster Henry:

@Fred - I'm pretty isolated from actual research there, I hope they're doing something worthwhile!
