this is starting to get sickening.

if you want to make radio...than do it!

all this talk about making radio without actually doing it reminds me of a
radio station with legal access to a transmiter...but is too afraid to turn
the fucker on!!   just fucking do it.


the idea was never really to make pretty broadcasts.  sometimes that comes
as a side-effect, but is still relatively unimportant.  if you just want to
make "pieces" to store as a contained work of real audio on-demand, than
fine.  If you think that is "where its at"...then your dead wrong.  sure it
is a somewhat important aspect....but not the only one.


the idea of some sort of interconnected sculptural atmosphere of radio is
what we all seem to be after and  dates back to the early 20th century,
dude - before mcluhan and medium-is-the-mesage stuff .  as far as I know,
the idea has never been realized, except in specific short-term events.

you can have your machines and your automated content served up on a
platter like hitradio if you want.....but, first comes the connections and
the overlapping of radio, net and whateverelse...then comes the atmosphere
and hybrid/mutated forms.  the sculptural aspect of net.radio lies in the
connections not in the content.


the idea is rather simple (although multifaceted)...if everyone is casting
simultaniously (whether live or recorded or automated material) ...then why
not just connect them all together and form this atmosphere you are talking
about  ...and the world would be  a happier place....well maybe not, but
the radio scheme would sure as hell  be a lot more interesting.


this is nothing new... no single person of the net.radio theorists invented
it.....but who the fuck is gonna take the first step.  it seems to me that
everybodys concept and theory of radio/net.radio  is so fucking inflexable
that noone can get their shit together and just   make   some    noise!!!!


Im ready to hear some PRACTICAL suggestions  boyz and girlz.
if you arent willing to try and actuallize the idea (which implies some
sort of collaboration)...then let it die or keep on reformulating it into
infinity without ever doing anything.
