Podcastingi. Or art by subscription.
Podcasting is the broadcast medium of the masses. It is possible for anyone to make and publish a podcasti about anything they please and to access a global audience with the click of a mouse. Throughout February 2007 folly, in partnership with SoundNetwork, is publishing a series of specially commissioned podcasts that explore the possibilties of the medium for artists and the distribution of their work in sound. Anyone can subscribe to the series and with each download (1 every week in February) the listener will add a new piece of art to their digitali collection. See instructions below on how to subscribe.
This series not only explores the practical delivery of sound art on the internet, but also the very nature of communication through broadcasting; from the transmissions of a cosmonaut beyond our own atmosphere, to communicating ideas about spirituality through frequency, and through inviting sounds from our computers to occupy our environment as a backdrop to our own lives. You will hear (and become the proud owners of) strange music, stories and electronic noises, and all of them have the potential to change your life.
You can also register as a member of SoundNetwork at http://soundnetwork.omweb.org and discover what is happening in the world of sound art in the North West and beyond.
