Next is Hullabaloo , an American musical variety series that ran on NBC from January 12, 1965 through August 29, 1966.
Directed by Steve Binder, who went on to direct Elvis Presley's '68 Comeback Special,
Hullabaloo served as a big-budget, quality showcase for the leading pop acts of the day, and was also competition for another
like-minded television showcase, ABC's Shindig!.
A different host presided each week—among these were Sammy Davis, Jr., Petula Clark, Paul Anka, Liza Minnelli, Jack Jones, and
Frankie Avalon—singing a couple of his or her own hits and introducing the different acts.
Chart-topping acts who performed on the show included Dionne Warwick, The Lovin' Spoonful, The Rolling Stones,The Yardbirds, Sonny & Cher, the Supremes, Herman's Hermits, The Animals, and Roy Orbison .
Adopted by The Residents, the apocryphal Bavarian composer and music theorist N. Senada, formulated the "Theory of Obscurity",
while his "Theory of Phonetic Organization" states, "the musician should put the sounds first, building the music up from [them] rather than
developing the music, then working down to the sounds that make it up."
This method is part of the process deployed here on Hullabaloo Show #30 Dec 06 1965- with Host: Frankie Avalon .

Radia #984 - A Los Cuatro Vientos by Félix Blume ▾
This is a contribution by Radio Campus Paris.
“Nature is an aeolian harp, a musical instrument whose tones are the re-echo of higher strings within us.” – Novalis
In ancient civilizations, the god of wind (Eole, Aiolos, Aeolus) has an important place. He manifests himself through aeolian harps built for him. In his piece “A los cuatro vientos”, French sound artist and sound engineer Félix Blume presents wind sounds being played in four different places of America, recorded between 2011 and 2014. In one case only it is an aeolian harp (Chile), built with the purpose of interacting with the wind. In other cases, there are power posts of low and high voltage (California, Chile, Mexico) or posts of an old ski lift (Bolivia). The electrical wires are the ropes; posts and steel structures are the resonant body; tubes are the organ… Are these modern buildings the aeolian harps of our times?
For Radia, Félix Blume remixes the recordings used for “A los cuatro vientos” in order to present a new, continuous 28-minute sound work under the same name.
As R. Murray Schafer comments in The Soundscape, the installation of electricity in the houses at the beginning of the nineteenth century changed the rural soundscape with the high voltage power lines. Dr Philip Dickinson from the “Research Institute of Sound and Vibrations” mentions the case of a woman who attempted suicide because she continually heard a sound inaudible to others. After several tests, they discovered that some power lines resonated and produced sound between 30 and 40 Hertz. This same sound has been recorded in other places, depending on temperature, humidity and wind.
Félix Blume is a sound artist and sound engineer. He currently works and lives between Mexico, Brazil and France.
He uses sound as a basic material in sound pieces, videos, actions and installations. His process is often collaborative, working with communities and using public space as the context within which he explores and presents his works. His practice involves an extended understanding of listening, as a way to encourage the awareness of the imperceptible and as an act of encounter with others. His work incorporates the sounds of different beings and species, from the buzzing of a bee, the steps of a turtle or the chirp of a cricket, as well as human dialogues both with natural and urban contexts. He is interested in myths and their contemporary interpretation, in what voices can tell beyond words.
Members of Radia, the international group of independent cultural radio stations, explore new and forgotten ways of making radio.

First Light's Third Space #16 - unperson & Elif Gülin Soğuksu ▾
In the first half of this episode, unperson traces Sheffield's experimental music from the DIY post-punk scene of the 1980s, through the pirate radio days of the 1990s, to the city's contemporary boundary pushers. In his words: "lots of bleeps, lots of bass".
In the second half, Elif Gülin Soğuksu weaves a path through the hum of Istanbul, a mix which she describes as "a glimpse into the sound world of stray dogs howling to the morning prayer in rural areas, street musicians playing traditional instruments, street vendors selling simit, fish, meat, and fruits in Beyoğlu ... Turkish classical music playing in the silversmith shop in Sultanahmet ... the micro sounds of rocks, dirt, and bushes near the historic Orthodox Orphanage in Princes' Island".
Each month, First Light Records invites two artists to take an unplanned journey with a microphone around their city to curate an hour-long mix. Each show captures the unique atmosphere of a city from each artist's perspective, through music and found sound.
