Abstract

A small ensemble is formed to realise the work (DMU/HAMU)

The making of the device/devices becomes part of the work and is documented for radio

Making becomes a processual part of performance or broadcast

Listeners are informed of the process through spoken word and sound

Score is extended to the idea of other schema: circuit diagrams, graphic notations, text, dramaturgy, parts list, etc.

Sound and spoken word for the work may be pre-recorded

Musical interludes

Fact and fiction can co-exist – sounds do not have to be ‘literal’

Making for Radio can also be performed live

Making for Radio is part-hoerspiel, part-performance, part-documentary about DIY electronic music culture. The making of an impossible and ‘real’ electronic instrument circuit become the starting points for the work. Processes, tools and their relationship to makers/musicians are crossed examined through short, humorous sketches and radio curios. Fact and fiction co-exist. There are musical interludes.

The work brings together researchers and musicians from De Montfort University, Leicester, UK, and the HAMU, Prague in a unique collaboration for radio.
