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.

coordinating the recording, giving technical support, preparing materials for

publication, setting up of the listening environmen and web page or interface,

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

constraints, produced the materials before the imposed deadline, to give time to

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.
