Aural Innovations Space Rock Radio (show #204)
Rod Summers/VEC Audio Dramas Special
Here's something quite different for Aural Innovations Space Rock
Radio. Rod Summers is a veteran audio artist, having bought his first
tape recorder in 1960, and, as an outgrowth of his involvement in the
international mail art network, organized the VEC Audio Exchange
Project, which produced 16 compilation tapes between 1978-1983.
Rod recently shared several CDs of his work spanning several years.
One of the standouts was the Two Audio Dramas CD, which struck me as
inventive, humorous, and wildly OUT THERE. Tune in and hear two radio
plays, with a 10 minute cosmic musical piece between the two plays.
These are older recordings but are good fun to listen to and I
couldn't resist sharing them with my listeners. Given that this is a
Space Rock show I imagine this will bring a smile to the faces of
Robert Calvert fans.
[Track 1: 0:00-46:00] Helgi Saga
From the CD notes: The audio-drama Helgi Saga was written and recorded
from May to November 1985. Inspiration sources for the original story
were many and various but the main ones were my Viking friends Helgi
"The Turtle" Fridjonsson and Por Elis Palsson, the Icelandic sagas,
especially Burnt Njall's Saga, and the Bible, book of Ezekial, chapter
one from verse four.
The story itself is a black comedy about the progress of a noble
Viking who, whilst at battle on behalf of a Norwegian king, has a
close encounter of the third kind with robot representatives from
Cosmic Control.
[Track 2: 46:00-56:00] Sagara (cosmic music)
[Track 3: 56:00-71:00] The Saga of Brjan The Raud & The Scoring
Technique In Cribbage
An audio drama & sound poem by Rod Summers
