Resonance Radio Orchestra Live Broadcast Drawing
on the talents of Resonance104.4fm, "the best radio station in the world"
(Village Voice), the Resonance Radio Orchestra brings new music into
equilibrium with text, sound engineering with conceptual art, performance
with broadcast. The Orchestra is a floating pool of three dozen players,
actors, writers, composers, improvisers coming together to participate
in the creation of what is in effect a new art form. The instrumentation
is not traditional but instead includes mixing desk, laptop, Foley devices
and prerecorded sound effects alongside guitar, violin and drums. Performers
include Ben Drew, Alfredo Genovesi, Chris Weaver, Tom Besley, Max O'Brien
with sound engineers Xentos and Tom Wallace; and actors Tam dean Burn
and Catherine Hoffman. Tonight's piece, a radio operetta in two parts,
is adapted from stories written by the young Scottish writer Ian Brotherhood.
Tales of the Great Unwashed are set in a pub and inside the heads of
its regulars, whose halluncinatory experiences under the influence of
too much booze are tragicomic portraits of life on the edge.
