Show Notes

I’m here to announce more of the same! Beginning this Sunday at 4 pm, available online through KFAI’s “Irregular Audio (FA2)” stream will be the next series of one-hour Technological Retreat programs, featuring the audio sound collages from my 20th century radio program, that was broadcast from 1985 – 1989, and on between 1am – 6am on Sunday nights – Monday mornings.
Several years ago, I digitized over 100 cassettes of these shows and have been taking the sound collages or mixes, and putting them together in 1-hour presentations. 15 of these programs are available on KFAI’s website and on Spotify.
Sound collage is the live layering and mixing of different audio sources to create new pieces. Similar to the creation of a visual collage. Not an idea that I invented, but one I certainly played around with. My stuff never was sample based or a dance mix, more like a soundtrack for the subconscious. Radio & TV chatter, ambient city sounds and musical beds all mushed up. Now it’s called mash up.
Technological Retreat is available online through KFAI’s “Irregular Audio (FA2)” stream in conveniently sized travel packages, ready for your own personnel usage. Please listen Sunday at 4pm or at any time of your choosing through KFAI’s archive. I’m excited to be presenting these experimental radio programs through KFAI’s digital media stream.

Speaker 0 00:00:00 Hello. My name is Greg. You're about to take a technological retreat into the middle of the night of the 20th century technological retreat broadcast between 1985 from one to 6:00 AM. On Sunday night, Monday morning, these programs are collections of the live mixes or sound collages that I enjoyed making these words sample or dance based, mixing. It's more like sound from the psychologist could last moments straight on and on to that place. Speaker 1 00:00:32 Ah, I wonder if I said you're listening to fresh air radio, the community's voice for information entertainment and the arts cafe in Minneapolis and St. Paul at 90.3 FM, because if I didn't, I'm supposed to, um, anyway, this is a show called technological retreat and it goes from one to 6:00 AM on Sunday nights and Monday mornings. And it's about if there's a schedule. I can't cheat. Um, what I like to do is I like to experiment and play with radio because I kind of feel it's a medium that isn't used to its potential. And when everyone goes away, I sneak out of one of the closets that that's here at the station that no one knows about and come out and play around. And, uh, by the time that Everett and bill come in at six o'clock, I've got the place all cleaned up and I'm running it on autopilot. So don't tell anyone, you know, it's a pretty good joke, but that's really what's going on. Speaker 0 00:02:00 <inaudible> <inaudible> bumper sticker. Are you excited? Where do you find yourself?
