ISSUE 15

For Issue 15 we, XPUB1, broadcasted 8 times a radio show. With every week 1 episode. The structure was dens; On Monday and Tuesday we watched, read and talked about information and learned things on different software. On Wednesday we had to come up with ideas and produce them immediately so it could be broadcasted every Thursday. Everything about this issue can be read here.

BROADCASTING

✶ Episode 1 / Transition and Trans-Actions Intersections

PROTOTYPING

For the first radio show we learned to work with Liquidsoap and Icecast. We learned the connection between the Icecast server and worked with files connecting Liquidsoap in the terminal. For this broadcast I've used some online AI software to convert random images of turtles into music. I've also used text from our class Telegram group to audio with Google translate. Although I'm used to broadcast radio, I have a monthly show on Worm Radio, it was new to me to create audio/ music with different content other than my own voice.

The website of this broadcast is visible here:Episode 1, unfortunetaly the audio is not playable anymore since the Liquidsoap file is not running anymore. This is sad for the archiving purpose, however my contribution was too experimental, in the sense that it was very long and boring and because of lacking a context it is not recommended listening to it anyway.

✶ Episode 2 / Les Sons XPUB

PROTOTYPING

For this Episode I worked together with Jacopo. We searched for different words used in audio and their meaning. Words such as: echo, butterfly effect, reverb. From these terms we made a small glossary in audio format. We looked for placed around the Wijnhaven/Blaak building with high reverb and echo qualities. We recorded on different places the spoken glossary.

✶ Episode 3 / A Generative State of Mind

PROTOTYPING

✦ Sonic pi

✶ Episode 4 / The Act of Untethering

For this broadcast we worked as a group on this text, The Word of Unbinding, of Ursula K le Guin. The final result is an adaption of the text in the shape of an audio play.

HOST

For this episode Kendal and me were the caretakers

PROTOTYPING

For this issue I focussed most on creating the design of the website, a bit on changing the text, recording Kendal's voice and editing the voice recordings last minute with Audacity.
