AA+ DRONE OPERATØR RADIØ #6 ▾
In this show, a guest mix by O A K M I L K.
O A K M I L K is Maxim Walker, currently based in Leipzig, Germany. Born in Perpignan, France to a Belgian mother and Australian/British father - he is both a sound and visual artist who currently hosts a monthly radio show on Sphere Radio entitled “Frothed Nucleon’s Squiggly Tunes”, where he plays and talks about super weird and wacky sounds and tunes from all epochs and locations.
Self-released an EP last year called “loquacious frother, madude `;.^)”, and is currently working on composing the OST and foley for his sister’s feature film, as well as a few collaborative EPs and a solo album. He likes oysters, Cities of the Red Night, tamarind juice, cursive handwriting, Bach’s Partitia No. 2 in D minor, Moambe, table tennis, American burger cheese, and squelching his boots in mud.
Now: Imagine O A K M I L K not as a liquid but as a solid drill. A sharp drill that bores into a condensed granite like layer of 1 1/2 hours of pure DRONE OPERATØR material. The drill is composed of diamonds that shine in all colors and never wear out. Submerged into that granite DØ it makes an awesome sound. Why drill at all you might ask? Because we asked him to perforate. :)
Monthly experimen†al kleptomaniac post digital free jazz spam channel operated by artists Tilman Hornig and Paul Barsch aka DRONE OPERATØR.

MILLIONMOUSE A TUNER #10 - AEONS ▾
In this episode:
"i am reading from 'The Secret Revelation of John' by Karen L. King. was given this book and plunged in..to the two available translations printed across from eachother from da Berlin Codex, differing slightly. i m reading both I.II. versions out loud, left one first, then the right one, sentence by sentence, till page 49.
have a look at the writing below if you want to know about the context of The Secret Revelation Of John, but i believe it comes across anyway. i loved it. picking up on the many 'intriguing-but-confusing ideas' and the overt criticism of patriarchy ofc. as for aeons the meaning of it invites to enquire about temporalities and timespans, linking this back to the suspension the world is experiencing now.. . for me, really its a question about whether there is any light and if so whether the varying interpretations provide any solace."
Lost in antiquity, rediscovered in 1896, and only recently accessible for study, The Secret Revelation of John offers a firsthand look into the diversity of Christianity before the establishment of canon and creed. Karen L. King offers an illuminating reading of this ancient text--a narrative of the creation of the universe and humanity and a guide to justice and salvation, said to be Christ's revelation to his disciple John.
Freeing the Revelation from the category of "Gnosticism" to which such accounts were relegated, King shows how the Biblical text could be read by early Christians in radical and revisionary ways. By placing the Revelation in its social and intellectual milieu, she revises our understanding of early Christianity and, more generally, religious thought in the ancient Mediterranean world.
Her work helps the modern reader through many intriguing--but confusing--ideas in the text: for example, that the creator god of Genesis, a self-described jealous and exclusive god, is not the true Deity but a kind of fallen angel; or, in an overt critique of patriarchy unique in ancient literature, the declaration that the subordination of woman to man was an ignorant act in direct violation of the "holy height."
In King's analysis, the Revelation becomes not strange but a comprehensible religious vision--and a window on the religious culture of the Roman Empire. A translation of the complete Secret Revelation of John is included.
