Radia Show 520 | Spaces to act or not
This week Radia is produced by Nelly Matorina for CFRC 101.9 FM from Kingston in Canada.
Here is how the author introduces Spaces to act or not:
I recently discovered Caroline Nevejan’s work on presence. In the piece 8 spaces to act or not, she divides presence into three parameters: now/not-now, here/not-here, you/not-you. I was taken by the option of now/here/not-you, the immediacy and intensity of being in ‘now’ and ‘here’ surrounded by not-you. This piece contains field recordings from places where I felt surrounded by “not-you” most and wanted to act (make a sound), and then versions of just those sounds without a place. It ends with a sacred moment, I witnessed a wedding in a church in a small town in Lithuania which was open to the public despite being a private ceremony. The wedding was only 8 people, and the song I walked in during was entrancing and futuristic. [Nelly Matorina]
The piece contains readings from 8 spaces to act or not by Caroline Nevejan, and samples from Paras' Memon's A Story from their Self-titled EP, and M Mucci's Days Blur Together. How.
