A knock on the door. At this hour. Who could that be. Full moon peeks in through the attic window. The plant recites Kierkegaard. Red light ceiling. A muted comedian. More insistent knocking on the door. Get up from the chair. The bottle falls down. Shock-relief: It's empty. Ear to the door. Someone goes down … Continue reading Dai Coelacanth – A French Corpse is a delicacy on Mars
Junie Crawford – Transmission 6 (No Birds)
The 6th transmission by Junie Crawford is definitely the best of the first six shows that he produced for Radio On. Extremely convinced by the use of voice (a long monologue), his talent for storytelling, the simple use of electric guitar and drums, I (=Rinus Van Alebeek) decided to make a collection of his earlier … Continue reading Junie Crawford – Transmission 6 (No Birds)

The third show by our man in Montreal, Junie Crawford. Here's an other attempt to break through the borders of music.

Mitt Paté #19 by Agnès Pe – I Hear a Symphony
Running around, wide-eyed, open circle-boingboing, we hang from a rubber belt. The world is a bad whisper. The Queen anthem, finally, here's the version that should be played in every stadium. The motorgang argues over a quarter-pounder hamburger. Stomach moves, dub-step burbs, that's how we pray nowadays. The merry-go-round dropped acid. My first Vespa. Rome … Continue reading Mitt Paté #19 by Agnès Pe – I Hear a Symphony
Dai Coelacanth – Greek Seance / I’m your psychic
We don't know anything about the person who calls himself Dai Coelacanth. The best thing you can do is to believe that this tape came to us as a message in a bottle, or rather as a tape in recycled and sealed wine box. Recorded in Greece, it said. On a Greek Island, observed by … Continue reading Dai Coelacanth – Greek Seance / I’m your psychic
Agnès Pe – Mitt Paté in Buenos Aires
This edition of Mitt Paté was made in Buenos Aires. Agnès was there for an artistic enterprise. It meant of course that she had to leave her natural habitat, Madrid, and encounter new impressions. She had to experience winter during summertime. It took her a bit longer to construct a new collage. But it was … Continue reading Agnès Pe – Mitt Paté in Buenos Aires

Agnès Pe – Mitt Paté, Life Forms
I tried to listen to this edition of Mitt Paté while I was doing some work. In fact, I tried twice. It was impossible. This made me think. To understand what I thought, you need to know that one of my fascinations is the process, how from dead material, life forms came into existence, indeed, … Continue reading Agnès Pe – Mitt Paté, Life Forms
