“Synth and Radio were introduced to each other through my friend Max. Though they argue a bit I know that deep down they’re in love.”
In Synth Radio multiple recordings of dirty buzzing synthesizers are sequenced with live broadcast talk radio across an eight-channel speaker system. Structured in block sections with hard cut editing it could be seen as an argument between the two sets of materials, one confident in its fixity, the other resplendent in knowledge that it is the here (hear?) and now.
Synth Radio had its premiere at Fylkingen in November 2009. Presented here is a fixed stereo rendition, recorded on November 11 2009 at around 5pm, with BBC Radio 4 the radio station.
