[cma-l] Suspension of Belief - Broadcast Partners

[Chris Weaver]

Dear All,

This is very late in the day but is anyone interested in simulcasting
this live programme that Resonance104.4FM is contributing to
Orange94's Intimacy and Distance project?

The programme is essentially a live link up to a rock climber in situ
(binaural microphones fitted to a mobile phone), with a live text read
by another (retired) climber to accompany. See Ed Baxters longer and
more informative press below.

The broadcast will go out live on Sunday the 7th of June at 12:00 BST
(GMT +1) with a possible additional broadcast on Monday the 8th at
2pm. the second broadcast is scheduled in case their are any major
technical problems on the Sunday.

Let me know if you are interested

regards,

Chris Weaver


Suspension of Belief (Sunday 7 June at noon) combines live
rock-climbing with text and sound (both musical and incidental) in a
specifically radiophonic work made for the pan-European series
“Intimacy and Distance”. Conceived and produced by Ed Baxter and Chris
Weaver, it features leading British professional climber Gaz Parry
(http://www.gazparry.co.uk/) and writer Jim Perrin (legendary climber,
author “The Climbing Essays, “The Villain,”
etc.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Perrin)

Suspension of Belief is not intended as a sports broadcast so much as
a meditation on extremity. On the one hand, the listener can follow it
as a straightforward ascent of a rock face, with all the tension and
drama that involves – broadcast live. On the other hand, Perrin and
Parry are not in touch with one another but are each speaking in
isolation to the radio audience. They share common ground in their
experience of a terrain and situation known only to a small number of
climbers. The themes of intimacy and distance are explored from many
angles, with Perrin's supremely elegant writing providing a commentary
on the climb and the sounds of Gaz's ascent providing a physically
palpable counterpoint to Jim's ruminations. Suspension of Belief is an
open-ended broadcast. It will end when the participants reach some
sort of plateau or obstruction.

“Intimacy and Distance” brings together artists to broadcast via six
independent radio stations, working in new and unusual broadcast
contexts.
