Show For Children brings high-quality enigmatic and eclectic voyages through sound to your listening device. You will hear audio from either anonymous or publicly disclosed/recognizable sources. As was commonplace with CKUT's late night programming throughout the early 90s.
Everything down to the quality of the broadcasts will be enigmatic. The only limit is probably the CRTC regulations, but that's acceptable.
Every other Tuesday
3 - 5am

Early Minimalism: June 1965 (Parts 1 & 2)

Early Minimalism Volume One | Table of the Elements | 1997 |
Alexandria Gelencser - electric cello
Tony Conrad - electric violin recorded at Tony Conrad's Livingston Street studio, Buffalo, New York, August 1996. "HISTORY IS LIKE MUSIC - COMPLETELY IN THE PRESENT." In 1962 Tony Conrad’s amplified strings introduced the sustained drone of just-intonation into what came to be known as “minimal” music. Utilizing long durations and precise pitch, he and his collaborators forged an aggressively mesmerizing “Dream Music”—denying the activity of composition, elaborating shared ideas of performance, and articulating the Big Bang of “minimalism.” However, the many rehearsal and performance recordings from this period were repressed, inaccessibly buried. In 1987 Tony Conrad set out on a ten-year return expedition to the site of these entombed fragments to unearth the losses; from them he reconstituted and regenerated the epic Early Minimalism. Reaching back through time, Tony Conrad weaves a mobile narrative over and under minimalism: making music out of history, and history out of music. — Table of Elements |
