INFO

Publicphono was recorded live as part of Prix Italia in Italy in 2000.

The Prix Italia is the oldest and most prestigious international radio,
television and web competition. It awards prizes for quality productions in the
fields of drama (single plays and serials), documentaries (culture and current
affairs), the "performing arts" (television) and music (radio).

Among the innumerable personalities who, in the course of the years, have
entered their works: writers like Jean Anouilh, Riccardo Bacchelli, Heinrich
Böll, Bertholt Brecht, Italo Calvino, Jean Cocteau, Eduardo De Filippo,
Marguerite Duras, Friedrich Dürrenmat, Umberto Eco, Max Frisch, John Osborne,
Alain Robbe-Grillet, Françoise Sagan; directors such as David Attenborough,

illustrious figures: Samuel Beckett, Ingmar Bergman, Peter Brook, René Clair,
Federico Fellini, Werner Herzog, Peter Greenaway, Eugène Ionesco, Ken Loach,
Harold Pinter, Dylan Thomas.

For the 52nd edition a homage was paid to the medium with which it was born, a
day dedicated entirely to the world of radio. 'After Radio' was the title of a
conference offering a reflection on the changes brought about by the digital
revolution and the Internet on the technology, the use and the professions that
operate in the radio sector.

Scanner was commissioned to create a live concert using the public speaker
system on the sea front of Rimini, which was broadcast over 20 km of beach to
anyone within reach of the sea.

Event curated by Roberto Paci Dalo

This CD is the complete concert that was heard on 18 September 2000.

BIOGRAPHY

Scanner - British sound artist, Robin Rimbaud - creates absorbing, multi-layered
soundscapes that twist technology in unconventional ways.

His controversial early work used scanned mobile phone conversations which he
wove into his compositions, and more recently his focus has shifted to trawling
the hidden noise of the modern metropolis as the symbol of the place where
hidden meanings and missed contacts emerge.

Winning admiration from Bjork and Stockhausen, Scanner is committed to working
with cutting edge practitioners and has collaborated with musicians Bryan Ferry
and Laurie Anderson, Rambert Dance and Random Dance Company, writers David Toop
and Simon Armitage, the artist Mike Kelley, among many others.

As well as producing compositions and audio CDs, his diverse body of work
includes soundtracks for films, performances, radio, and site-specific
intermedia installations.

He has performed and created works in many of the world¹s most prestigious
spaces including SFMOMA USA, Hayward Gallery London, Pompidou Centre Paris, Tate
Modern London and the Modern Museum Stockholm.
