 Private Radio: 24 Hours of Radio/ART

 Private Radio began in the summer of 1992 during the Canadian National Campus and 
 Community Radio Conference held in Vancouver. The idea was to produce a 24 hour radio art 
 event - a radio station that was completely devoted to live creative work and experimental 
 audio art. In effect, we asked the question "what would happen if your local pop-radio station 
 suddenly changed to an all audio-art format?"

 There were over a dozen sound-art shows on the two non-commercial FM stations in Vancouver 
 (CiTR and CFRO). New Sounds Gallery, Absolute Value of Noise, Noizi Radio, Sound of Reality, 
 Gigablast, Truth Channel, and Home Taping International are just a few of the program names 
 from this era.

 Private Radio brought together a diverse group of artists and program hosts to collaborate 
 and produce the ultimate radio event.

 To date there have been four episodes of "24 Hours". The first two were hosted by the 
 campus radio station CiTR FM. The last two were hosted at the Western Front and broadcast 
 on Private Radio FM 89.3. The fourth installment took place on January 17, 1996 to coincide 
 with the 33rd annual celebration of Art's Birthday. Art's Birthday is an annual global 
 celebration, conceived by Robert Fillou to pay homage to the "invention" of Art.

 Private Radio has involved many connections with audio artists around the globe - on tape, on 
 the telephone, and in person. Programming has included the rebroadcasting of shows from afar, 
 live sound collage on-air using tape and turntables, and improvised performances with alternative 
 instruments (including vacuums, lawn mowers, vibrators, chains, and oil drums).

 This web-site is intended to deliver a low-fi, often chaotic version of the Private Radio 
 experience directly to your home, via the internet. Selections from the 96 hours of 
 programming are indirectly accessible through the AUDIO MONSTER. This is a Java Applet 
 that serves up a semi-random collision of sound sources. Let it run for an hour, a day, a week. 
 New patterns will evolve, new sources will be added, your ears will be soothed and annoyed.

 Absolute Value of Noise, May 1998.
