Andrade Tudela <http://bit.ly/zHwWLw>, Rita McBride
<http://bit.ly/krKQPn>or The
Otolith Group <http://bit.ly/krKQPn>. Discover the links between Lettrism
and sound poetry <http://bit.ly/w3oCrz> with French curator and composer
Frédéric Acquaviva. Test your senses with a psychoacoustic experiment
by Florian
Hecker <http://bit.ly/pyyE3R>. Enjoy our interviews with Franco
Berardi<http://bit.ly/wbb9hz>,
Laibach <http://bit.ly/m96Cb1>, Mark Fell, Joe
Gilmore<http://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/mark_fell_joe_gilmore/capsula>
, Rick Prelinger <http://bit.ly/xawZG7>, Kenneth
Goldsmith<http://bit.ly/gksAZb>,
Vicki Bennett <http://bit.ly/qELoQy>, Theo Burt <http://bit.ly/qJxr6O> and
many others. Listen to electro-acoustic composer Eduardo
Polonio<http://bit.ly/wd6SsH>tell the story of how he was arrested
during Franco’s dictatorship on
suspicion of plotting to plant a bomb at the Eurovision festival (he had
merely organised a meeting to share his music with others). Fall in love
with Connie Treanor’s voice as she expounds on Mark Fell and Joe Gilmore’s
understanding of generative and process music <http://bit.ly/jd5DyQ> in the
twenty-first century, while introducing previously unheard pieces by Laurie
Spiegel, Yasunao Tone, EVOL, Marcus Schmickler, Christophe Charles and
Ryoji Ikeda. Discover with Felix Kubin <http://bit.ly/e0iR0F> the urgency
of the Deutsche Kassettentäter <http://bit.ly/n3aN7s>, an energetic and
apocalyptic trend that exploded the German underground music scene at the
end of the seventies sounding radically different to anything that had come
before. Discover, thanks to the memories of Catalan composer Josep Maria
Mestres Quadreny <http://bit.ly/pNVhLc>, that ‘Luigi Nono fought on the
front, with the partisans; Stockhausen was a stretcher-bearer, carrying the
wounded when he was just fifteen; Xenakis, was captured and sentenced to
death.’ Arrive with him at the conclusion that, ‘under those conditions,
you cannot write folk music’. Get into the personal collections and
obsessions of William Bennett <http://bit.ly/yDcxck>, Mark
Gergis<http://bit.ly/rClCOL>,
Ed Veenstra <http://bit.ly/zfxed1>, Jonny Trunk, Kenneth
Goldsmith<http://bit.ly/gksAZb>and Jason Scott to trace a
historiography of sound collecting that reveals
the unseen and passionate work of the amateur collector while
reconstructing multiple parallel histories such as the evolution of
recording formats and archives, the collecting market and the evolution of
musical styles beyond the marketplace. Recuperate Juan
Muñoz<http://bit.ly/f5YRgO>’s
previously unheard early recordings where he established links between
music and architecture. Travel through the history of contemporary music,
tracing the story of sound appropriation <http://bit.ly/fiBYpN> from
Charles Yves to the twenty-first century and claiming the role of
recordings as instruments. Immerse yourself in the work of John Cage
exploring his engagement with radio, both as an instrument and as a means
of communicating his ideas and disseminating his work. Tune into
Fluxradio<http://bit.ly/nkyWNk>,
a sampler of the Fluxus movement. Re-read the West Coast experimental music
scene of the 1980s as if it was a Spaghetti Western, as suggested by Chris
Brown <http://bit.ly/xJ7HWo>. Read essays by Roc Jiménez de
Cisneros<http://bit.ly/soJCwm>,
Chris Cutler <http://bit.ly/zZQ9cf> or Tony Myatt
<http://bit.ly/w6WOfu>and marvel at Llorenç
Barber <http://bit.ly/xWwBWS>’s graphic notation.

In the last five-six years all this and more has been produced by Ràdio Web
MACBA (rwm.macba.cat) <http://bit.ly/bMCaPY>. What was born as a way of
promoting the activities of the Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona has
developed into a content-generator for specific projects, focusing on the
exploration of sound art, radiophonic art and experimental music within a
wider critical context. It is available with just one click, you can listen
online or subscribe to its podcasts, and it is completely free.
