Akufen - The Right Mental Attitude

This short plunderphonic essay was requested some years ago, by the WIRE, a weekly unique and innovative music radio show aired by the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation). 

In short, I was kindly granted permission to use essentially sound material from the show, including interviews with artists such as Steve Reich, John Oswald, Dj Shadow and Glenn Gould, on and off air bits and bloopers, and music that was presented throughout the show, in order to make a sound collage which was presented on the show shortly after.

I could not express how excited and grateful I was, being given such a privilege. The piece was cut, assembled and recorded overnight, in order to keep the exercise spontaneous and intuitive. It was humbly done in all respect to the artists and the music I was quoting. You will recognize familiar references such as Pink Floyd, Pat Metheny, Steve Reich and the Beatles. 

No sounds other than the ones featured in The Wire's archives, were used in the making of this piece.

Thank you for listening!
