SPECIAL ISSUE 25

starting this master programm was a tat bit overwhelming, but simultaneously super exciting! i love the vibe of the group. i feel like we're all little nerds and we have this big common interest. thats nice. i enjoy it very much.
making radio is also very exciting and cool and also stressful haha. here my perfectionism plays a little role, because i want the show to be perfect. and of course this is not happening. what even is a perfect thing? well anyways... i like the introduction of michael and lukas, that the radio shows are tryouts and the interesting part is, the moment errors happen and we have to react to them. i like the letting go of the idea of a perfect radio show. also there's like 3 people listening so nothing is that serious. i hope i get to use my dj skills for the shows.

my first radio show: SI25 Broadcast 4: Protocols to Freestyle

"WE'RE LIVE BABY!" that was very exiting and cooool. unfortunately my sonic pi crashed right before the show. frustrating! but anyways we still managed to make a smooth show. we only had one single meeting before the show, cause we wanted to keep it spontaneous and fun. We read Femke Sneltings "Generous Practises" out loud in roles.

my second radio show: SI25 Broadcast 6: Protocol to Free Britney

its britney bitchhhhh! that show was soooooo much fun. after a few technical struggles it was so so so so nice!

reflections on radio-making

What is the materiality of the difference in what we send through the radio and what the listener hears?
Language is understood only in contextual frameworks. And even these can be shared by people only to a limited extend.

reflections on the event

I was actually surprised how smooth and easy the setting-up and dismantling was. Although we planned everything on a rather short notice, we managed it soooo well. So thx to the class for this wonderful, exciting experience! It also was very nice to show my friends what has been done to this point. and also showing strangers what we do. and seeing the interest in that. feels very rewarding.
my favorite was seeing how Kims viertelstündliche printouts grew, to see how grafviz reorganized the whole thing. fascinating. but also definitely the jam session. it was so impressing to hear the sound through the big soundsystem of the ubik space. the theatrical light situation also added the special something to the whole performance. very cool.
Its also always fascinating to see people react to your works. I feel like i tend to forget the specialness in the works we do, cause they become so alltäglich. i feel like for me it is pretty important to share the/my work, cause in that moment they somehow become more worthy in a way. Not as in other people give worth to it. but rather me seeing it through their eyes, which then makes me look at my shit differently.
tbh i feel like i didn't really contribute much to this first SI. I guess its always easy to say "i could've done more" at the end, but i could've done more. i should've, but the search for a new place to live took away sooo much time. i didn't expect it to be that hard. so i took it upon me to make the radio show on the event day itself. for that, imina and i interviewed all the teams about their projects. That was fun, cause with that material we did like the most radio-ish radio show of the whole season i think. a lot of talking and it also felt like a little podcast scenario. I also designed the cookbooks for the event and showed people around, telling them about the projects. that was the most i could to in that situation. i hope that was enough.

how is notation a language we can read, write and unterstand? how does storytelling works in and through music and sound? what sounds does a square makes as opposed to a triangle or circle?

after reading The Tyranny of Structurelessness by jo freeman

how can we as a class work together smoothly? how can we make everyone feel more included and seen? how can we make it more safe and easy to disagree and say no?

after reading The truth of fact, the truth of feeling by ted chiang

whoooaaaa this text is crazy. it was veeeery interesting. it questions whether a fact or a feeling is more true. it does it through telling 2 stories, 1 where the fact is more "right" or "true" and the other where the feeling is more valued. so there is not one of them that is more right than the other. it always depends on the story and situation.

after seeing Nature Study Notes: Scratch Orchestra

i had the idea of making a little zine with an alternative form of notation. I started researching and found: (insert pictures) and then i made: (insert pictures)

It was in that moment i realized i need my own dictionary.

and its sooo much fun to research the different words and see what they mean. to discover language a bit more with every word.
