Andrade Tudela <http://bit.ly/zHwWLw>, Rita McBride <http://bit.ly/krKQPn>
 or The Otolith Group <http://bit.ly/krKQPn>. Discover the links
between Lettrism
and sound poetry <http://bit.ly/w3oCrz> with French curator and composer
Frédéric Acquaviva. Test your senses with a psychoacoustic experiment
by Florian
Hecker <http://bit.ly/pyyE3R>. Enjoy our interviews with Franco
Berardi<http://bit.ly/wbb9hz>
, Laibach <http://bit.ly/m96Cb1>, Mark Fell, Joe
Gilmore<http://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/mark_fell_joe_gilmore/capsula>
, Rick Prelinger <http://bit.ly/xawZG7>, Kenneth Goldsmith<http://bit.ly/gksAZb>
, Vicki Bennett <http://bit.ly/qELoQy>, Theo Burt <http://bit.ly/qJxr6O> and
many others. Listen to electro-acoustic composer Eduardo
Polonio<http://bit.ly/wd6SsH> tell
the story of how he was arrested during Franco’s dictatorship on suspicion
of plotting to plant a bomb at the Eurovision festival (he had merely
organised a meeting to share his music with others). Fall in love with
Connie Treanor’s voice as she expounds on Mark Fell and Joe Gilmore’s
understanding of generative and process music <http://bit.ly/jd5DyQ> in the
twenty-first century, while introducing previously unheard pieces by Laurie
Spiegel, Yasunao Tone, EVOL, Marcus Schmickler, Christophe Charles and
Ryoji Ikeda. Discover with Felix Kubin <http://bit.ly/e0iR0F> the urgency
of the Deutsche Kassettentäter <http://bit.ly/n3aN7s>, an energetic and
apocalyptic trend that exploded the German underground music scene at the
end of the seventies sounding radically different to anything that had come
before. Discover, thanks to the memories of Catalan composer Josep Maria
Mestres Quadreny <http://bit.ly/pNVhLc>, that ‘Luigi Nono fought on the
front, with the partisans; Stockhausen was a stretcher-bearer, carrying the
wounded when he was just fifteen; Xenakis, was captured and sentenced to
death.’ Arrive with him at the conclusion that, ‘under those conditions,
you cannot write folk music’. Get into the personal collections and
obsessions of William Bennett <http://bit.ly/yDcxck>, Mark
Gergis<http://bit.ly/rClCOL>
, Ed Veenstra <http://bit.ly/zfxed1>, Jonny Trunk, Kenneth
Goldsmith<http://bit.ly/gksAZb> and
Jason Scott to trace a historiography of sound collecting that reveals the
unseen and passionate work of the amateur collector while reconstructing
multiple parallel histories such as the evolution of recording formats and
archives, the collecting market and the evolution of musical styles beyond
the marketplace. Recuperate Juan Muñoz <http://bit.ly/f5YRgO>’s previously
unheard early recordings where he established links between music and
architecture. Travel through the history of contemporary music, tracing the
story of sound appropriation <http://bit.ly/fiBYpN> from Charles Yves to
the twenty-first century and claiming the role of recordings as
instruments. Immerse yourself in the work of John Cage exploring his
engagement with radio, both as an instrument and as a means of
communicating his ideas and disseminating his work. Tune into
Fluxradio<http://bit.ly/nkyWNk>,
a sampler of the Fluxus movement. Re-read the West Coast experimental music
scene of the 1980s as if it was a Spaghetti Western, as suggested by Chris
Brown <http://bit.ly/xJ7HWo>. Read essays by Roc Jiménez de
Cisneros<http://bit.ly/soJCwm>
, Chris Cutler <http://bit.ly/zZQ9cf> or Tony Myatt <http://bit.ly/w6WOfu> and
marvel at Llorenç Barber <http://bit.ly/xWwBWS>’s graphic notation.

In the last five-six years all this and more has been produced by Ràdio Web
MACBA (rwm.macba.cat) <http://bit.ly/bMCaPY>. What was born as a way of
promoting the activities of the Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona has
developed into a content-generator for specific projects, focusing on the
exploration of sound art, radiophonic art and experimental music within a
wider critical context. It is available with just one click, you can listen
online or subscribe to its podcasts, and it is completely free.
