interesting site for essay's on sound



hello all,
while doing some research on the ethnography of listening I found this site by ultra-red http://www.comatonse.com/ultrared/lm.html. I thought it might be of interest too some of you who were talking about jacques attali, douglas kahn and other media thinkers about a month back. I haven't read any of the articles yet, just cause I am searching for specific essays in my research but glancing at the bibliographies of the essays, the writers have quoted luigi russolo, Theodor Adorno, guy debord, rosa luxemborg and Rick Altman. It looks interesting to me.


I got the chance to read douglas kahn's 'three receivers' and really benefited from it. the topic of this short essay was how william s. burroughs would listen to three radios at once in order to discover new words, languages and messages from the underground. Kahn also talked about the portable orgone machine burroughs carried from home to home, which also was also responsible for new discursive creations. Kahn made some really interesting points about ideological methods of listening, which burroughs tried sodomistically to tamper with. great short read.
-this article can be found in TDR, the drama review 40, 3 Fall 1996.


if you get a chance to look at this journal there are also articles by jerome noetinger (?spl?) and christof migone. The issue had a special theme of writings on experimental approaches to radio and music. its worth taking a looking at.

anyway goodnight
