Favoriting Brian Turner: Playlist from March 29, 2016 Favoriting

Order and disorder in a freeform haze of terribly-played guitars, shorted-out electronics, found audio detritus, strange sounds from strange lands all around. Psych-punk-junk, collage, even pop. Lots of in-studio live performances to boot.

Favoriting March 29, 2016: w/ special guests IANCU DUMITRESCU and ANA-MARIA AVRAM

Listen to this show: Pop-up listen Pop-up player!


Join Brian as he celebrates the first-ever New York visit of renowned experimental Romanian composers Iancu Dumitrescu and his wife Ana-Maria Avram, with a two hour special from 4-6pm. He'll be showcasing their amazing recordings through the years, and host an exclusive interview with them at WFMU's studios while in town to present their music at Columbia University's Miller Theater March 1-5. Pairing learned concepts of Phenomenology with Acousmatic-leaning composition, Dumitrescu led the charge in outlining a new objectivity over purely academic approach to the creation of music. He and Ana-Maria both share the philosophies of being Spectralist composers, utilizing sonographic and mathematic data visuals as decision-making elements in sound with acoustic, electronic, and tape sources; it's something touched on by the likes of Varese and Xenakis in the past, made prominent by the French, but never done as uniquely-stylized as with them. They've influenced many avant composers in recent decades, and even legions of Noise kids with their detailed attention to finely-crafted chaos. Tune in for heavy sounds and discussion on the essence of music with two major innovators.

Cecile,same here regarding abstraction. Freedom is largely the point I think. Do you, like Pollock for example?
Avatar 5:09pm
Cecile:

I like abstract painters who have if not a foot, at least a toe in nature. Pollock is not a favorite, but I respect his method.

The biggest problem with collage radio (I'm a DJ at one) is its management by the students.

I found the biggest problem w/ college radio is the licenses being sold to corporate interests, like my alma mater, University of Florida did to Clear Channel in 1994. So, we had to make a pirate radio station.

Fascinating interview, will have to listen again later. On the abstraction thread, I wasn't aware of Jim Harris, but he looks interesting. One of my favourite painters, though he doesn't call himself abstract as far as I recall, is Howard Hodgkin. I think his work's amazing - www.howard-hodgkin.com

MattD: Howard Hodgkin is great. I love David Hockney too and older generations like Ad Rinehart,Joan Mitchell,Philip Guston...long,long list.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:43pm
joeray:

There is total programming freedom on some college radio but the student managerial ineptitude drives away serious DJ's and fosters DJ's whom are more into entertaining their audience. For instance WFMU's non-request stance and not having listeners call shows (except for the Marathon!)is instrumental in allowing DJs to not worry about pleasing their audience.

WREK in Atlanta has historically been able to escape some of the typical college radio problems by the grace of its license mandate: to provide an alternative to other radio. Since Atlanta is pretty large radio market, it's already served by most ordinary radio niches, including "college radio." Because of that, WREK's always provided a much greater and broader programming than many/most other college stations. At the cost, however, of being loathed by a majority of Ga Tech students...
