Sound is important.
Stephanie and Jess MG are part of CKUT’s Magic Sound Box this Thursday. Among the 15 stories listen to S.’s reading of the grimmest parts of Grimm fairy tales and J.’s contact mic in vagina (narrated). A pure audio experience. It’s a unique event.
Live Radio Art Performance: storytelling–sound art–music–radio ether
The plan: create an enclosed area with large swaths of fabric, turn off the lights…and make radio. The audience is inside the box, the performers are on the outside. Some of the sounds will be mixed through a quadrophonic speaker system and some will use the natural acoustics of the space, inviting our listeners to enjoy the spatial qualities of voices, instruments, field recordings and electronics.
CKUT invites you into our third Magic Sound Box. We take you back in time when radio was King. This time around we’ll focus on the concept of ‘storytelling’ – as education, as entertainment, as cultural continuity, as the only thing and everything.
This live radio transmission art show (or tell…) takes the audience inside Radioland – inside the magic sound box – highlighting the many talents of CKUT, exploring the limits of aural imagination and indulging in the intimacy of sound.
For this performance all you need is ears, we’ll turn out the lights, and twist and weave a variety of stories and sounds together.
