form.radio by offthesky
form.radio is a series of live performance long-form mix-tape style collages consisting of recordings mined from a myriad of radio stations. each of these 8 sonic quilts spans the gambit from pop-ambient, drone, new age, minimal, free jazz, experimental, classical, musique concrete, acousmatic, field recording, and various shades in between. with a heavy emphasis on a live loop based lofi aesthetic, the pieces are often unpredictable, playful, imperfect, with twists and turns, roiling rhythms, and rough hewn movements occurring throughout.
the release comes with a bonus download consisting of:
- a video of form.radio 1 performed live (alt take)
- a txt file with detailed information about the concept, tools(mainly koala sampler+radiounit), techniques, and radio stations frequented during the creation of form.radio. the txt file also contains links to some free software as well as the source koala sampler projects (i.e. you have access to all 512 samples(cc0) used throughout form.radio) and the pure data live performance patch created specifically for the making of form.radio (which you can further edit and use for your own performances, if you wish).
