Brouillage
this program is based on texts written by french poet Armand Robin. During years 50’s and 60’s, he spent most of his time listening to shortwave radio stations, in various languages, comparing the evolution of propagandist reporting. He was then publishing a weekly listening report that he printed and distibuted himself (i think it was 23 copies, made with a stencil printing machine). In this program, readings of bits of text (it’s in french) are mixed with various sounds, a lot of them sampled from my friends Martiens Go Home.

This abstract helps a lot. We listened to it last week during radio bar, with out a real french speaker, it was hard to follow the actual content. The sound gave a sense of drama – but I’ll have to listen again now to see what I make of it with more information. —
Yes, i guess you’re right Diana : i should have included it in the program itself in order to make more sense.
Incredible, Pierre! I’m also working on Armand Robin, and I actually thought of producing something from this as a future contribution to Radia… 😉
I’m eager to listen to your work. Cheers.
