E031 Ionize 09/01/2010

Tonight we bring you podcast episode 31, Ionize. This episode is a few days late because, as always, I’m a perfectionist when it comes to editing. Ionize was the 12th episode of the WRVU era, recorded on April 20th, 2008 live in the WRVU studios. This was a solo scoop & loop show, meaning, I made the show armed with two cd turntables, a looping pedal, and some effects. I recorded all of the samples from my brother’s Alesis Ion synthesizer he had just given me to sell. After he heard the episode, I’m proud to say he decided to keep it.

Ionize was originally just over an hour.  For this podcast, I edited it down to a much more solid 30 minutes.

There won’t be a Theatre Intangible next week, because I’ll be at the sci-fi, fantasy, and culture convention Dragoncon in Atlanta, Georgia, mostly lurking about the Skeptic, Science, and Podcasting tracks. Yay me! If you’re also attending, drop me a line at tony@theatreintangible.com. Stay tuned the week after for a brand new improv with members of the Nashville experimental folk band Lylas.

And without further ado, here’s Ionize.

E028 The Swarm 07/26/2010

We’ve been releasing some pretty dark episodes of late. There was the distorted Degenerates, the psychotic Mixmaster Satan, the electrocutional Artificial, and the pissed-off Angry Beavers. But this week’s episode The Swarm outdoes them all in its deeply disturbing drone. Plug all impressionable ears: this one is positively possessive!

The Swarm stars Anderson Cook from Ortolan on guitar, voice, and no-input mixer; Dylan Simon from Mass at Dawn on Shruti Box, Echoplex, Sears & Roebuck Tremelo Unit, Ring Mod, Gong, and voice; DaveX on processing via phone line; and myself on delay.  I also did the live mixing, editing, and post processing.

Tread lightly.

E026 Mixmaster Satan 07/05/2010

This one goes way back. Actually, it’s the second episode EVER, recorded and broadcast October 22nd, 1998 on ~ORE~ Prefab Audio Extrapolations, WIDB Radio, Carbondale, Illinois. My ~ORE~ co-host DaveX had yet to join me. In studio with me (if memory serves) were Tom Denney, Mike Meyer, and Wil Bernal. You can hear them calling in as various characters. (Usually they would just go to the station front room and call in on the other station line.)

Mixmaster Satan is a dark portal through pre-9/11 American television. In these pre-digital days, I recorded television sound bites and field recordings directly from the speaker into a cassette recorder and playing back on the station cassette deck live. When I wanted to repeat a section, I had to rewind, watch the counter, and playback, hoping I timed it right. When you listen to these early shows, you’ll be able to tell we were VERY inspired by Negativland. Although I still like these early episodes, it was the over-reliance on sound bites and tv samples that made me want to make the next incarnation (Theatre Intangible) sample-free, created entirely by the performers in-studio. But this episode takes me back.

E025 Degenerates 06/27/2010

Today’s podcast is Degenerates, the 25th podcast and 4th episode of the WRVU era — originally broadcast December 2nd, 2007.   The players are William Davis from Oh No It’s Howard; Cody Bottoms from The Manpower, A Parade, and more; Paul Cain; and myself.  Jacob Riley also contributed some sounds via phone.  I did the live mixing, editing, and mastering.

The theme of Degenerates is. . . you guessed it. .  . degeneration.  We recorded samples and  copied them through multiple generations.  We ran them through multiple passes of distortion.   We wanted to see how far we could use and abuse sounds.  The result is one of the nastiest, dingiest, dirtiest sounding shows we’ve ever done; it’s also one of our best.

If you like our show, spread the word by telling your friends, sharing on your favorite social networking sites, and leaving us feedback on iTunes.  Here’s Degenerates.
