The extracurricular activities were more interesting than the studies; We got the student radio going and and had some five shows running each week. I had my own hour, Sibiria, which was patterned on the public radio show Frispel, a brilliant experimental weekly run by Fredrik Grundel at P3. Frispel was a freeform show which mixed samples and spoken content with music and effects, and it was original for it&#8217;s time. (If anyone has backups of those shows, please let me know. They&#8217;re difficult to get your hands on)<\/p>\n<p>Out of the twenty or so shows that I did, I only have backups of two.<em> A show about nothing<\/em> came about when I didn&#8217;t have any ideas about what to do, and just ended up using bits and pieces I&#8217;d accumulated: A friend talking about light beer, the kings new years eve speech, computer game samples, and a whole bunch of audio effects. (I think I did it all using SoundEdit 16 with VST plugins which kept crashing)<\/p>\n<p>This show was made almost ten years ago, so the music and aesthetics are a bit dated. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0148428\/\">Lucky People Center International<\/a> had just been produced and I might have seen it by the time I ran Sibiria. For what it&#8217;s worth it&#8217;s a mostly well edited \u2014 occasionally slow going\u00a0\u2014 hour of random stuff.
