HELLO | first day of class

This mix was collaboratively sourced from associations that emerged from our readings, especially: Steve Goodman's ontology of vibrational force, Michael Chion's three modes of listening, Pauline Oliveros's sonic meditations, and Christoph Cox's sonic philosophy.

Tracklist:
"phantomaton" by chemiefaswerwerk
"For What It's Worth" by Buffalo Springfield

WHAT'S THAT SOUND

Our second collective in-class mix inspired by:

Michele Hilmes's history of the radio amateur
The "culture of personality" in the golden age of radio
Victor Pickard's history of the "revolt against radio" and overcommercialization
Prometheus Radio's struggle to preserve the radical pedagogies of ham radio
