In terms of thematics, the project aims to focus on the history of sound art, considering specific practices such as tape manipulation, digital desconstruction, with a particular focus on improvisation and collective production. Key reference works such as ''Nature Study Notes'' and the work of Cornelius Cardew and the Scratch Orchestra will be studied, in parallel with work on Free Licenses and Free Software as means for producing what [http://lipparosa.org/essays/problemsofnotation.pdf Simon Yuill has termed ''distributive practices'']. In addition, the lived experience of Radio WORM’s Ash Kilmartin and Lukas Simonis will serve as key guides and resources in the process.

Furthermore, critical questions related to '''(cultural) reappropriation''', such as those raised in Ari Ralph’s ''An Introduction to Decolonial Archival Practice'' zine will be important aspects of the course. For instance, how can audio transcription software be used for more than just producing a strict transcription of what’s been spoken? Are there formats of audio + text that can go beyond “capture” and “translation” of spoken to written forms, and which preserve and value oral culture rather than attempting to fix (in both the sense of repair or freeze) or replace it?

The project starts from the diversity of Radio WORM’s maker community, speakers of a diversity of languages, cultural backgrounds, and ages reflecting the diversity of Rotterdam’s inhabitants. In addition, XPUB as a program embraces a diversity of practices, from traditional print design to game design and programming, but also including music, product Design, anthropology. The course will focus draw on historical examples of collective production to look at a diversity of ways that collectivity can be facilitated. As a course XPUB is also particularly interested in the interplay between the tools and platforms we use and their impact on the ways collaboration occurs, for instance how roles can be shared and (re)negotiated rather than only being fixed in conventional workflows with designers typically at the end of a process of “giving form”.

For example, in the first iteration of the course, a podcast was made of the radio programs, alongside a series of diverse zines, including interviews with radio makers. Besides this, a 3D model of the WORM Radio studio was made which them formed the basis of a collaboration to make audio/visual animation that mixed abstract metadata from the archival recordings with the rendered model.

===Public moment===


The idea is for the public moment/event will be to explicitly address past, present, and future members of the Radio WORM community of listeners and makers. The format of the event would be relatively open, with a variety of activities happening in parallel. Workshops will showcase the richness and variety of materials available via WORM Pirate Bay, and the potential for new collective artistic production using specific techniques explored in the course (for instance involving physical cut-up techniques with reel to reel audio, or digital techniques with automatic transcription and coding). Furthermore, the plan will be to include access to WORM Sound Studio, whose unique situation for collective sound production will be featured. The idea is for the event to be used as a means of gathering further materials from an interested public, and for these materials to be incorporated into the subsequent/final radio broadcasts, creating some space for reflection and closure.

The project aims to primarily address Radio WORM’s community of makers and listeners, past, present, and future. More broadly, the project should address and be of interest to a wide audience of those interested in collective artistic practices and those interested in the interplay between digital tools and networked platforms for distributing and archiving the resulting cultural productions.

Revision as of 15:29, 11 November 2024

NSN detail do nothing.png

The project described here is a second iteration of a course first run last year, Radio Worm: Protocols for an Active Archive. This iteration called Protocols for Collective Creation, and will run from September to December 2024. The format will be a weekly live 2 hour radio program, and a single in-person event, or “public moment” tentatively planned for November 20, 2024. The course will be developed and run by tutors of XPUB, supported by WORM staff, and will be followed and activated XPUB1 students. The idea is to produce and maintain a podcast feed of materials related to the program during the duration of the 3 months. The format of the live event is described further below. XPUB will be responsible for documenting activities related to the course, and in working with WORM for possible inclusion within their network (for instance working with Ash on materials that could be part of WORM’s Mixcloud channel).

Intro

In sum the course will be about:

  • Creating instruments,
  • exploring different forms of collective practice,
  • to make radio, including remixing materials from WORM's archive and Radio WORM,
  • and perform them (live) together using performance protocols.

Partners

XPUB is the 2 years Master program in Experimental Publishing at the Willem de Kooning Academy, part of the Hogeschool Rotterdam (http://xpub.nl). XPUB focuses on the acts of making things public and creating publics in the age of post-digital networks.

Radio WORM (https://radio.worm.org) is an online radio platform at the heart of WORM Rotterdam. Their studio hosts audio production of all descriptions (sound art, experimental music, interviews, mixes, informal reporting and in-depth talk-based series), with over 80 resident shows as well as a shifting schedule of one-off events, mini-series and special guests.

WORM Pirate Bay (http://thepiratebay.worm.org/) is a physical archive and working facility at WORM comprising DVDs, VHS tapes, zines, books, CDs, board games and other remnants from WORM’s production history. WPB is about unconventional knowledge sharing and artistic production that might not be valued by traditional understandings of high art.

The project will involve the assistance and cooperation of: Ash Kilmartin, Lukas Simonis, Lieuwe Zelle (Radio WORM), Ari Ralph (Worm Pirate Bay), and Florian Cramer, Michael Murtaugh (WDKA/XPUB), and XPUB prototyping + methods tutors.

Themes

In terms of thematics, the project aims to focus on the history of sound art, considering specific practices such as tape manipulation, digital desconstruction, with a particular focus on improvisation and collective production. Key reference works such as Nature Study Notes and the work of Cornelius Cardew and the Scratch Orchestra will be studied, in parallel with work on Free Licenses and Free Software as means for producing what Simon Yuill has termed distributive practices. In addition, the lived experience of Radio WORM’s Ash Kilmartin and Lukas Simonis will serve as key guides and resources in the process.

Furthermore, critical questions related to (cultural) reappropriation, such as those raised in Ari Ralph’s An Introduction to Decolonial Archival Practice zine will be important aspects of the course. For instance, how can audio transcription software be used for more than just producing a strict transcription of what’s been spoken? Are there formats of audio + text that can go beyond “capture” and “translation” of spoken to written forms, and which preserve and value oral culture rather than attempting to fix (in both the sense of repair or freeze) or replace it?

Multivocality

The project starts from the diversity of Radio WORM’s maker community, speakers of a diversity of languages, cultural backgrounds, and ages reflecting the diversity of Rotterdam’s inhabitants. In addition, XPUB as a program embraces a diversity of practices, from traditional print design to game design and programming, but also including music, product Design, anthropology. The course will focus draw on historical examples of collective production to look at a diversity of ways that collectivity can be facilitated. As a course XPUB is also particularly interested in the interplay between the tools and platforms we use and their impact on the ways collaboration occurs, for instance how roles can be shared and (re)negotiated rather than only being fixed in conventional workflows with designers typically at the end of a process of “giving form”.

For example, in the first iteration of the course, a podcast was made of the radio programs, alongside a series of diverse zines, including interviews with radio makers. Besides this, a 3D model of the WORM Radio studio was made which them formed the basis of a collaboration to make audio/visual animation that mixed abstract metadata from the archival recordings with the rendered model.

TO DO (due by end of Sep 20)

Support

The project has received funding from NADD to support Radio WORM staff and in the production of the public event.

Public moment

The idea is for the public moment/event will be to explicitly address past, present, and future members of the Radio WORM community of listeners and makers. The format of the event would be relatively open, with a variety of activities happening in parallel. Workshops will showcase the richness and variety of materials available via WORM Pirate Bay, and the potential for new collective artistic production using specific techniques explored in the course (for instance involving physical cut-up techniques with reel to reel audio, or digital techniques with automatic transcription and coding). Furthermore, the plan will be to include access to WORM Sound Studio, whose unique situation for collective sound production will be featured. The idea is for the event to be used as a means of gathering further materials from an interested public, and for these materials to be incorporated into the subsequent/final radio broadcasts, creating some space for reflection and closure.

The project aims to primarily address Radio WORM’s community of makers and listeners, past, present, and future. More broadly, the project should address and be of interest to a wide audience of those interested in collective artistic practices and those interested in the interplay between digital tools and networked platforms for distributing and archiving the resulting cultural productions.

TODO (preliminary text due by end of 20 Sep)

Schedule

Each Monday from 10-12 a live radio program is produced by a rotating team of XPUB students together from the Radio WORM Studio. The proposal is to use one hour to listen together to one or more sources (historical projects, interviews, etc). The second hour is then for live performance using instruments developed during the course.

Assignment: Experiment with the advanced search of archive.org. Use the wiki to record "interesting queries" ... in other words, interesting search results. You may find it best to use the link widget in the "Edit source" view of the wiki and to give the (long) URLs descriptive and readable visible "text to display". For example: five audio files about dogs

Continue the exercise of modifying a copy of the advanced search form, making modifications to make it more specific to your needs in building a custom sound board. Look into the documentation about search on archive.org, including information about what kinds of metadata there is. Try searching and look at the results. What kind of materials are there and how are they classified? From where to the materials come. In addition to imagining a soundboard based on the audio files, what other information could be interesting to include (from the available metadata). What filters or other particular features might be interesting to apply to your sound board.

Try to place your modified / simplified / customized search forms on cerealbox. For those interested in Javascript, please feel free to ask questions on zulip, and I will post further examples to help.

The Laurence Rassel Show is a radio show made in 2007, a collaboration between the art and media org Constant (where Laurence Rassel was a core member at the time), and DJ/musician Terre Thamlitz.

Consider, some different links of the progam online, from Terre Thamlitz’s own site, to an archival copy of publicrec.org (with supporting documents), to the physical CD (in library):

And contrast with less contextualized presence on other networks:

READINGS to go with TLRS…

ALSO: check out the printed CD in the library for the physical poster inside that contains a full “libretto” … all the quoted texts and sources.

A NOTE FROM THE LOGISTICS TEAM:
Resources needed: on your wiki project page, let us know if you need power, lighting and internet for your installation. It would also be appreciated if you could provide a list of other equipment needed (example: table, lamps, chairs, etc…). Also leave a not if you have any equipment that is on the list. Event timings: for the jam session and text-to-speech to text to music, think about a potential timing for your event. The rest of the artworks/ installations will be working throughout the entire event. You can also list down this info on the wiki project page.

“Raw” audio

Strange Text to Speech

play -tlpc /dev/urandom

Leads to deep dive into LPC format as a “vocoder".

The Voder page is an exemplary page with documentation of the historic Voder algorithm, but also including a live simulation / instrument with instructions on how to "play" a sample phrase (She sees me).

Spell and Speak, Antonio Roberts is a great example of using different distributive practices (free software such as using Silas S. Brown’s *lexconvert*, and small shell commands and hacks) to explore the international phonetics alphabet by generating random permutations and an animating them.

Speech synth

Listenings

The idea is to have a dedicated space in the weekly radio program for group listening to historic radio shows / other audio pieces.
