AA+ DRONE OPERATØR RADIØ #13

Drone Operator returns after a two-year pause. We are happy to melt your fatuous little brains with the finest selection of free jazz, noisy electronics and avant-garde improvisation again.

This episode features Alice Coltrane in a Slowed & Reverb Special and picks up exactly where the last one left off. A ten minute Kratzr Records Store live recording can also be found in this fine eclectic mix, which should sweeten your probably shitty day.

Radio Concrete #55 - Ilan Barkani

Ilan Barkani is a multidisciplinary artist, composer, improviser and teacher, living and working in Jerusalem, a founding member of the artist collective Sedek, and a member of the interdisciplinary collaborative ensemble Ptilia.

"A geography of sound [...] is the geography of encounters, misses, happenstance and events: invisible trajectories and configurations between people and things, unfolding in the dimension of the actual while formlessly forming the dimensions of its possibility" – Salomé Voegelin, The Political Possibility of Sound

In this piece, called halls (joining), Barkani continues his exploration of combining field recordings and minimal/reductionist instrumentals, to compose and perform imagined, semi-coincidental, (what Voegelin calls) “impossible territories”.


Radio Concrete by **Hagai Izenberg is a monthly experimental radio show focusing on live mixing and processing of field recordings together with contemporary music and soundscapes.
