Radio Art by Roberto D'Ugo Jr, inspired by the homonymous visual poem by Marcos Gross. Originally conceived in 1989 as a soundtrack for an artistic installation by students of FAAP Communication College, São Paulo, Brazil.
THE POEM: a typewritten sheet full of numbers " 6 ". In a corner on the right, a solitary number " 9 " eludes the reader. Part of the piece was completed at Radio Cultura FM Studios, in São Paulo, Brazil.
COSMIC SILENCE: speechs fragments circulating in a estereophonic eternal return, just numbers (voices of unsuspecting sound operators).
An encrypted message sent into space.
ARTE POVERA: tape loop voices manipulation; rolls of tapes wandering through 3 ANALOG RECORDERS, reverberations and noise STATIC, shorwaves textures.
Feedbacks and mixing in real time. A melancholic minimalist composition played on toy keyboard CASSIO, recorded in a cassette tape, in the bright acoustics of a tiled bathroom (my old bathroom).
