Realizzata l'anno scorso in due distinte occasioni da Gerardo Figueroa Rodríguez e Franco Falistoco, responsabili del progetto radiofonico latinoamericano El ruido es el mensaje, è ora disponbile integralmente sul web una lunga e interessantissima intervista a Chris Cutler suddivisa in due parti intitolate, non casualmente, File Under Popular e Not As We Choose. Nel montaggio audio finale, caratterizzato da vari effetti stereofonici, alterazioni d'ambiente sonoro e manipolazioni creative nella tradizione della 'Radio Art' cara ai curatori, fa capolino qualche estratto da un concerto cileno di Cutler con Frith del 1997, anch'esso tuttora disponibile su YT.
El ruido es el mensaje es un proyecto latinoamericano sin fines de lucro relacionado con la tecnología, donde contamos historias de artistas sonoros y experimentales, principalmente mujeres, con impacto en el storytelling. Con anclaje en la comunidad y que inspiran otros artistas a contar historias con sonido, de forma experimental.
Noise is the Message is a radio production, whose objective is to take up again the languages of the radio: voice, word, music, sound effects and silence. This exploration of the language of sound is carried out from an inter-disciplinary point of view, where the genres are crossed and mixed to form a collage that has the radio as its transmitter and the senses of each listener/viewer as its receiver. We consider ourselves enrolled in the current of contemporary journalism, Radio Art and sound experimentation through play. The concerns and curiosities offered by the sound field make us aim at offering a radio that explores and exploits other uses of its language. The experimentation, the confluence of ideas, the work and record in different areas, from the urban to the rural, contribute to create in us and in those who listen to us, wide communicative and interpretative competences of the realities, to be able to insert ourselves in our communities in a more complete, critical and reflexive way. By revaluing the importance of the soundscape and its many components, we seek to rescue the meaning and importance of community life and respect for collective signifiers. The result will be a more receptive and active “walker”, committed and integrated with his acoustic and social environment. Noise is the Message is nourished by sounds to tell stories, it is radio to listen attentively and critically, it is radio to listen with headphones.
