«Talk Radio»

Oliver Augst and Stefan Beck have collaborated on radio broadcasts since 1992. Initially, the joint transmissions featured a wide range of instruments (live electronics, tapes, CDs, drum computers, keyboards), but in the course of time the focus gradually shifted towards purely oral improvisation. Their ‘talk radio' has gone on the air – for the most part live – in Dresden, Hamburg, Frankfurt/M. and Zurich since 1995, and also been presented live to festival audiences. The transmission featured here was broadcast on 25 April 1996 by ORF Kunstradio, a regular slot for experimental art broadcasts since 1987. Using texts as raw material, and partially deploying live electronic voice distortion, one presenter responds to another as if in the course of a jam session, and in this way both gradually talk themselves into a frenzy.
