This month: Quad at Noiseberg.

A monthly collection of audio experiments and listening objects with sound artist Matt Burnett from Berlin.

Merrie Melodias is back with a new series and new rubrics! And that means new digger discoveries are waiting for you from the bottomless catalogue of the Soviet major label Melodia. As is good tradition, we start with an episode about folk music. This episode features melodies from Central Asia, the Lesser Caucasus, the Baltic States, Africa and South America and other countries of the world.

This episode highlights the intersection of the sound of the world's three main musical instruments - the lute, the lyre and the reed pipe - with each country having its own modification and name. This is the story of how the sound of a Burundian funk band's electric guitar transforms into the trill of an Uzbek dutar, the sigh of an Azerbaijani zurna turns into the moan of an Armenian duduk, and the tinkling strings of a Paraguayan harp turn into the dreamy chords of a Madagascar valiha.

Uzbekistan-based DJ and boss of the experimental TOPOT label Eugenie Galochkin presents rare vinyl rips from the Soviet Melodia label. Melodia has released music from all around the world: from obscure Baltic electronica and free jazz from Siberia; to synth-pop from Tajikistan and academic avant-garde from Ukraine. The series will explore how national and cultural characteristics are embedded in musical language.

This month: Beholder Halfway marks the forthcoming Melodies International reissue of the beautiful anti-war folk-soul ballad 'Blood of an American' by Bobby Wright (now Abu Talib). Little known and rarely heard, the record stages a reflection upon the unique intersection of popular music and radical politics in late 1960s and early 1970s soul music. This becomes an opportunity to think critically about the ways in which counter-cultural soundtracks have been sanitised and re-packaged in recent decades.

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 .

The KunschTTurm Club was located in the Kunstturm, a 100 m² apartment, on the 22nd floor of the Tour de l'Europe in Mulhouse. Made available by its owners, the club quickly became a second studio for the Alsace branch of ∏-Node. Julia and Dinah bubbled up the closing weekend.

Armed with their cristal Baschets, they pulled the plug from the heat in the bathroom for a 2 hours improvised installation/performance. Inspired by Anne Carson's poem 'Guillermo's Sigh Symphony' (2002) which was copied onto the tiled walls, ears steaming near the bath tub of sounds, the audience drifted in and out. The "souffleuses de son" captured FM radio through the pipes, read extracts from the poem, and used hydrophones and small radios to amplify the drip, drip, dripping.

This is an edit from the ∏-Node stream, during the KunschTTurm Club, Season 1-31 jan-31 july 2025

Thanks to JPRRR for the mastering, individu and the whole KunschTTurm crew.
