Chicago Phonography at OpShop 2009

Sunday, January 17, 10:00PM–2:00 AM US CST (GMT -6)

Chicago Phonography on Something Else

Hosted by Philip von Zweck on WLUW 88.7FM Listen to the live stream.

Something Else is Chicago’s longest running radio show devoted to seldom-heard and experimental, avant-garde musics, sound art, works of long duration (no excerpts!), and other less classifiable things that just don’t have an outlet. Chicago Phonography is a collective of artists interested in promoting creative activity in listening by broadcasting unprocessed field recordings as an ensemble in a context of live improvisation.

Podcasting via AudioBoo, shared field recordings, podcasts, Locus Streambox

AudioBoo_logoRecently, I started using AudioBoo and found it to be a fun social media “play thing” for posting field recordings. One interesting feature with potential for serious use is AudBoo’s ability to create a podcast in the iTunes Music Store. There you can download to the files or “boos” as well as subscribe to the podcast. You can tag your boos, search boos. This is the link for my AudioBoo. As in Twitter you can follow the profiles. You can also subscribe to everyone’s AudioBoos on the iTunes AudioBoos full podcast.

Chicago Phonography @ The Op Shop


Chicago Phonography @ The Op Shop

Originally uploaded by eleonardson
This evening’s show was quite wonderful. We played for an hour and a half, and our attentive audience all stayed for an impromptu discussion afterward. We all didn’t expect this to happen and thoroughly enjoyed it. We felt so welcome…many thanks to Laura Shaeffer and Chris Hammes for making this happen.

More info about The Op Shop is on their website: theopshop.org

Here is an excerpt from the recording of the performance.
