The Chill Room, 29 October 2011 at 0100ST on killradio.org
160k, 75 minutes, melding Mutant Radio
Essentially this program is a series of radio appropriations that have been tweaked and integrated into a new series of audio manipulations. The show appears at first to be almost random but is in fact tightly controlled. It has stages and movement. I was initially inspired by DJ Nat Roe's use of the Starship song "We Built This City," generally considered to be one of the worst rock songs of all time (when Rolling Stone ran a bad song poll the song got so many more votes than any other it completely skewed the stats). I then added the work of DJ Dan Bodah and DJ Scott Williams, all from wfmu.org, which is the leading mutant radio station on earth, because their use of pop songs melting into each other blurs all boundaries. But when the show breaks (as it does several times) we are then left in what we shall call the Void.
For this Chill Room, I am overall inspired by the great Yves Klein (1928-1962) and his photomontage The Painter of Space Hurls Himself Into the Void (aka Leap Into The Void) from 1962.
