L-R & RadioMentale - I Could Never Make That Music Again - 23-Oct-07 10:06 AM
01 L-R - I could never make that music again

Created by Radiodays at De Appel Gallery in AMsterdam, april 2005, "I could never make that
music again" is a radio collage which organizes and disorganizes quotes from various
electronic artists interviewed and recorded by Jean-Philippe Renoult & Jean-Yves Leloup over
the past 15 years. The piece begins with a curious archive, the audio letter from Fred Judd,
a sound engineer for the BBC radiophonic workshop, sent to the dutch composer Tom Dissevelt in 1966.
Judds vision is somewhat pessimistic regarding the commercial future of electronic music.
"I could never make that music again" offers possible answers to the questions voiced aloud
by Judd, and features un order of appearance: derrick may, stacey pullen, autechre, matmos,
alec empire, a guy called gerald, mad mike, coldcut, mixmaster morris, dj shadow, kid koala,
steve reich, claude lévaque, ryoji ikdea, richie hawtin, richard james [afex twin], thomas
brinkmann, mantronix, christian fennesz, squarepusher, the residents, and tony morley. The music
here is created from minute samples from the late 50s and 60s electronic era

07 L-R vs Radiomentale - Soulmates

Based on polydronic composition by jopo stereo, "soulmates" is a virtual dialogue between
the british producer/dj andrea parker and the german musician pole. both were originally
interviewed separately about their music practice, but in this piece the original meaning
of their answers is put to one side to make way for a conversation that has never taken
place. in the real world parker and pole never met each other.
