As a teenager I would listen to Frispel, which was broadcasted on P3 Sunday evenings. It was a pre-taped one hour experimental show, mixing fact and fiction, and focused a lot on creating an interesting atmosphere. Once it was cancelled, I wouldn’t find anything like it until Radiolab many years later, or perhaps some of the odder This American Life episodes. I still have a soft spot for radio turntablism stuff –\u00a0and the movie Lucky People Center International<\/a> is one I revisit every couple of years because of the tight editing and rhythm \u2014\u00a0so this weeks project was a short attempt to create an atmospheric clicky ambient thing, on the subject of suffering.<\/p>\n

The music is all fiddled in Reason and the samples are from a lecture with Yo Hoon, available here<\/a>. The track is finished as it is now; but I hope to return to the topic. Many years ago I did an ambient sound work called Appropriate Christmas<\/a> which combined 2400 christmas songs into one long meditation, and in keeping with doing things for holidays, I’ll try to look into the nature of suffering and do a longer piece on it in time for easter.<\/p>\n

Being a lapsed catholic the subject matter might not surprise anyone, but at least I’m not doing “guilt.” Yet.<\/p>\n
