The third and last issue of the first year of Experimental Publishing (XPUB),
|
|
|
<em> Radio Implicancies: Methods To Practice Interdependencies</em>
|
|
|
, is a series of eight, increasingly ambitious, weekly released sound publications.
|
|
|
While the name of this publication might give you the impression that those
|
|
|
periodical <a href="#release" class="note">releases</a> were broadcasted, they very
|
|
|
much took place behind closed doors, amongst the group members themselves…
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
Released for the very first time on the 12th of April, the twelve members of the
|
|
|
group, who where shapeshifting each Tuesday of the week into their own audience,
|
|
|
constantly shuffled positions in the overall work infrastructure until the last
|
|
|
release on the 21st of June. This modular approach to work positions enabled an
|
|
|
<a href="#interdependent" class="note">interdependent</a>
|
|
|
publishing structure in which different figures of agency took turn in order to
|
|
|
share responsibilities in a sustainable manner.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
Certainly captivated by the diversity in shapes, contents and experiences offered by
|
|
|
the Special Issue 18’s eight sound publications, one might wonder: but what is it
|
|
|
all about? The time pressure and weekly format framework left the overall project
|
|
|
stuck under the surface of the water, as under an ice floe. Yet, the time spared on
|
|
|
reflecting over past releases was invested in a bold pace of exploration, in which
|
|
|
each week the group has re-conceptualised new work methodologies. The urgency of
|
|
|
experimenting with new infrastructures and breaking down mainstream hierarchical
|
|
|
ones, took over the reflection of the resulted emergencies within each project. The
|
|
|
ice floe broke at some place, enabling water flows, but those remained disparate, a
|
|
|
stream still waiting to be connected.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
Every other Tuesday of each week, somehow estranged from everyones’ work progress,
|
|
|
all the members of the group, except the
|
|
|
<a href="#caretakers" class="note">care-takers</a>
|
|
|
(a few members responsible of the overall outcome of that week’s publication), would
|
|
|
walk into a dedicated room unaware of what kind of experience they would step into.
|
|
|
Some publications even shifted from edited projects to live performances, presenting
|
|
|
tools, interface or instruments for the public to thread all the pieces together
|
|
|
themselves.
|
|
|

|
|
The third week release, Uneven Patterns, was the first milestone in which the
|
|
|
release’s care-takers took the role of editors. The listener’s experience evolved
|
|
|
from that of a brutal unintentional edit of disparate sound-works, to an intentional
|
|
|
curated piece, interlaced by a common rhythm: that of different binding sounds. The
|
|
|
theme presented by the editors was inviting in a non-restrictive manner.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
From then on the publications’ care-takers became the heart of each weekly release.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
On the fourth week, the Emergent Opera’s care-takers introduced a new kind of
|
|
|
release format: live edit. The release’s interface, unlike the up-to-then linear
|
|
|
structures, took the form of a circular constellation of sound tracks, an instrument
|
|
|
that can be activated by any willing participant, generating a new kind of
|
|
|
audio-collage.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
This potential for more performative and interactive interfaces inspired the
|
|
|
care-takers of The Jingle Board Parliament to challenge said format on the fifth
|
|
|
week. For the first time, the potential of found footage in media and pop culture,
|
|
|
within a short-format restriction, got encouraged. The occasion to experience and
|
|
|
command a once in a lifetime political landscape hosting an eclectic assemble of
|
|
|
voices.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
The instrument became voice. While dialogues were emerging out of cheer spontaneity,
|
|
|
the Nested Narratives release was the occasion to reflect together on a textual net
|
|
|
around a given refrain. One that would weave the diverse reflection, on a common
|
|
|
problematic, of makers and listeners together…
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
And the voices carried methods. For the first time in months, the care-takers
|
|
|
decided to take the bull by the horns and propose to confront methodologies upfront
|
|
|
with the Sharing Methods for Diffractive Reading cookbook. The occasion highlighted
|
|
|
that however considerate a method might be, different texts need different care and
|
|
|
attention.
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
This intricate publication blew a wind of spontaneity to the last week’s release.
|
|
|
Each day, the different <a href="#contributors" class="note">contributors</a> would
|
|
|
react to one another with daily (short-) uploads on the Unfolding [ ] Implicancies
|
|
|
platform. A final interface with data strata of all kind resulted in a generous
|
|
|
open-end: a rhizome narrative with no top nor bottom, no left or right, where what
|
|
|
ends is where that begins.

Audio files/interfaces/instruments that have been made available for listeners

(the group members) in a customised and ad hoc environment designed by the

care-takers of the week to access the content in the most apt and fitting way.

The release happened once a week, every Tuesday, and included a listening
|
|

session and a consequent discussion, when critiques, improvements inputs and

appreciations would be collected and stashed for later use.

Contributors read the proposal from the care-takers and, following the given

care-takers to organise the materials for the listening session (the release).

Interdependent publishing happens when the parts of a structure are
|
|
|
interconnected and entangled between each other. Every segment has an influence
|
|
|
on the others and viceversa; they are mutually dependent on each other.

In the case of the fifth release, implicancies are the connections that can be
|
|
|
made when reacting to already existing content. By looking at the files proposed
|
|
|
as the foundation of the entire structure, the contributors are asked to
|
|
|
interact with the content to produce a continous flow of creation.

A traditional structure of an opera piece has been shifted to an emergent one:

each property is part of a bigger whole, that comes together in the becoming.

For the Jingle Board Parliament release, a selection of audio snippets from
|
|
|
various sources have been selected to be part of the seats of a parliament. This
|
|
|
means that no linear or predefined outcome would result, but a collection of
|
|
|
voices would be played individually, collectively or respectively.

The term nesting comes from HTML language and means placing one HTML element
|
|
|
inside another. This concept is at the for the fifth release Nested Narratives:
|
|
|
the idea is that the anchor text ("if we censor art what is left to discuss")
|
|
|
functions as starting and end points and the contributions are then "nested" in
|
|
|
between the anchor text. This concept has been further developed in the seventh
|
|
|
release, Unfolding Implicancies.
