Students from my Audio Workshop class at UTS will be taking over the airwaves at 2SER tonight and tomorrow night to present their live radiophonic features:
Dead Air
Wherever we are, what we hear is mostly noise. When we ignore it, it disturbs us; when we listen to it, we find it fascinating…
So if silence is the absence of sound, then what is the sound of silence?????
Tune your radio into 107.3fm (2SER) on the 26th, October at 9.00pm to find out.

Sydney Underground: An Aural Odyssey
A radio documentary produced by UTS Audio Workshop. Sydney Underground explores the sociological, historical, and transitory nature of Sydney’s underground tunnel systems through sound. Come on an Aural Odyssey featuring musical compositions inspired and constructed by sounds from within the tunnels. Interviews and ambient soundscapes created from audio captured from the tunnels of Sydney provide an interesting auditory perspective of familiar terrain. A Live audio feed from inside the Chalmers Street pedestrian tunnel at Central railway will be manipulated and blended using granular sound treatment. The Documentary will be performed live at the Bon Marche Theatre at UTS and transmitted live on 2SER (107.5) on Oct 27th at 9pm.
Be sure to tune in on Oct 27th at 9pm on 2SER 107.3
WIRED O P E N DAY on 31st October 2009 is your opportunity to GET WIRED in the great outdoors of The WIRED Lab.
WIRED O P E N DAY gives the general public the first opportunity to interact with the ‘wires’ and witness its vast array of creative applications.
Performing at WIRED O P E N DAY will be the original wire maestro Alan LAMB and his core crew of collaborators Dave NOYZE, Garry BRADBURY, Oren AMBARCHI and Robin FOX. Each artist will be presenting unique ruminations of the ‘wires’ sonic capacities. Dave NOYZE and Alan LAMB will perform live mixes of this dynamic instrument; Garry BRADBURY provides a live mix in the pitch of ‘B’ (also the pitch of Bees in chorus!) for a ‘great bow’ acoustic performance by Alan LAMB; Oren AMBARCHI treats the wires like a giant guitar and amplifier; and Robin FOX utilises wire sounds to control a laser beam across the surface of water.
Commencing in the late afternoon audiences will be bussed from Cootamundra to The WIRED Lab site for a multi-sensory experience of site and sound. From sunset to nightfall audiences will experience the immense dynamic range and capacity of a musical instrument spanning hundreds of metres across the landscape. Affectionately called “… nature’s microphone” by WIRED Lab curator Sarah LAST, the ‘wires’ and the WIRED O P E N DAY program expands many horizons, and will radically shift paradigms of art, music and space.
The WIRED Lab is a collaborative arts project uniquely located in the rural landscape of South West NSW. In 2007 The WIRED Lab was established to create a site for artists, scientists and audiences to expand upon æolian traditions, environmental sonification, ‘wire’ music and research originally developed by Alan Lamb. Since its inception many Australian and international artists have visited The WIRED Lab, their research continues, and October 31st is the first of many future open days.

The NOW now Series #6
Chris Mann (born 1949) is an Australian composer, poet and performer specializing in the emerging field of compositional linguistics,, coined by Kenneth Gaburo and described by Mann as “the mechanism whereby you understand what I’m thinking better than I do.”[1] He is currently based in New York City.
Mann’s unique style of reading incredibly dense, parenthetical texts at a high speed has brought him recognition as a unique performer and recording artist. He has had a variety of recording projects over the years, including the ensemble Machine For Making Sense with Amanda Stewart, Chris Mann and the Impediments (with two backup singers and Mann reading a text simultaneously while only being able to hear one another), and Chris Mann and The Use. His piece The Plato Songs, a collaboration with Holland Hopson and R. Luke DuBois, features realtime spectral analysis and parsing of the voice into multiple channels based on phonemes.
Amanda Stewart (born 1959) is a contemporary Australian poet and sound/performance artist.
She began writing and performing poetry in the 70s and has since produce a wide array of sound, video and multimedia work. In 1989 she co-founded the performance ensemble Machine for Making Sense with Chris Mann, Rik Rue, Jim Denley and Stevie Wishart . She has toured in Europe, the United States and Japan.
