The best way to remember a Korg MS-20 mini patch... take a picture! Also, get a robot helper.

Best shot showing how the HS-60 lends itself REALLY well to the chop. Just cut from speaker to speaker, rearrange some of the internal circuit boards, and there you are.

These videos have a vintage psychedelic ambiance as they were mixed down through a VHS player to give the videos a nostalgic flavor.

My synthesizers and sound modules.

All nicely soldered it. You can actually rotate them at this stage and they don't move much, but the real mechanical stability will come from the bushing nuts compressing the pots against the upper panel.

This was the premiere of the piece, in a black-cube-alike-space at Museum of Communications in Lisbon, 2010, part of RadiaLx 2010 Radioart festival.

 

The full story behind the audio piece:

 

Using the Lisbon FM spectrum seems appropriate towards a project-specific piece, designed around the leitmotiv given by curator Manuela São Simão, a one minute project to be broadcast in RadiaLx 2010 - Radio Zero’s international radio art festival - between scheduled programs.

 

Last year my friend Igor Sousa gave me a Quartz Synthesizer FM Receiver, he found it next to a garbage bin. No news flash here, the social value of radio waves have been shifting severely since the spread of public TV broadcasting and recently has been digitalized in the many forms of the web chimera: “Internet Radio”, “Podcasts”, “Streams on Demand”... just to name a few.

 

Paired with a old TV antenna, this FM radio receiver scanned the Lisbon radio stations, discarding the frequencies where the stations locked the Quartz, thus their listening frequency. By disregarding the correct tuned frequencies, this piece invites the listener to a stroll through the in-betweens of Lisbon based radio stations.

 

No sound processing was used, except from recording the receiver sweeping the spectrum with a 0.05 Mhz interval, ranging from 88.00 Mhz to 108.00 Mhz in Lisbon surroundings, circa 16:44 on your typical June’s Friday, 2010.

 

Aesthetically its a true challenge for myself. Mainly, because I’m used to creating the sound, shaping it, altering it or to say the least interact with it, but here - in this piece - my presence is passive, exactly like your typical radio-listener. In the city you can tune 40 or more stations, this making this some densely very populated radio waves. Because this FM receiver has a high resolution we can listen to 410 different radio tunes, mainly comprised of static, near-silence crispy noises or neighbourhooding frequencies of the main radio stations but nonetheless an impressive range of artistic material, that was comprised into a one-minute journey for this RadiaLx true “Radio Edit”.
