ROGC: The Big Jettison! (last show)

LIVE-mixed webcast re-hash: May 14th, 2006

This was the last live-mix webcast on s&S from the Oakistan studio. over 5 hours long -

conveniently broken up into 1 hour chunks because…. well, lets just be reasonable.

This night we released the auxiliary rocket boosters and sand bags, folks.

This was the LAST live webcast show on s&S - at least for a good while. So, it seemed

appropriate to needle-drop on highlights from past ROGC shows; say farewell, play some music,

too many clips from The Omega Man DVD and whatever else fell into the mix.

Over the last year plus, I took to offering these regular little themed sonic rides … from low-

concept to slightly above low-concept - creating the soundtracks of imaginary films on the fly!

During that time, this little Sunday ROGC theater offered the improvised likes of vaudville

dada-systems; semi stories, wishful documentaries; the sounds of party-favor science films and

sometimes even just nice music.

With several varied but themed sources and elements routinely layered at once (via turntables,

CD’s, mp3’s, loops, microphoned objects, a synth, sampler, etc…) , sonic terrains and narratives

were revealed to me in the same moments as they were to those of you that tuned in for the

LIVE webcasts.

Yay! live-mix!

Anyway…. if you enjoy any string of these clips & excerpts, please find and pay a listen to the

entire original show, they’re all available in the archive! the latter ones have thorough playlist

pages, I’ll get to the older ones as time allows.

It’s been a long time coming, but your studio host and the Oakistani catacomb studio will be

permanently parting ways soon - I’ll be offing to the opposite side of the sphere to live, work and

ideally re-establish a smooth phono-genic link with you all very soon by way of new

downloadable, regionally inspired shows - so i hope you’ll pay an ear in time.

Snipping cables and burning receipts is gritty, dirty, time consuming business, so best to

discontinue these with some weeks to spare.This is not a disappearing act entirely, as the regular

day to day shirley & Spinoza stream will continue - and a new era of s&S radio is poking just

around the corner. So, no worries…I hope you’ll stay tuned.

Where to?: returning to Xinjiang, P.R. China - for a good while. There’ll be more info here soon

with more details about all that….but here, enjoy a little bit of the past.
