DIY radio and imaginary folk

Max Reinhardt give a shout-out to all the DIY audio makers and bedroom presenters from the golden age of pirate radio.

Max Reinhardt takes a trip across the history of experimental radio, scrolling through the frequencies of Bristol’s pirate radio stations from the late 1980s to the early 2000s and shouting out to the DIY radio makers of the FM dial. We also hear excerpts from the radio art of Henry Jacobs, working in San Francisco in the mid-50s to create audio collage, a sonata for loudspeaker and spoofed interviews with a phony scholar.

Elsewhere we play gamelan for flute and percussion, new music from Anna Meredith and imaginary folk from Slovenia.

Produced by Alannah Chance.
