#271. Independent sound art, radiophonic projects and other audio non-visual misunderstandings and findings. A Porest Special.
Porest -Mark Gergis- offered Dr. Klangendum to present his newest Radiopiece, Abject Mirror. In the right Porest tradition it is a weird mixture of confusion and anything that turns into confusion… a trail of confounding agitprop sound art, post- globalized hate-pop, diabolical radio dramas and carefully rearranged realities. Porest’s blatant embezzlement of human syntax and cultural misunderstanding broadcasts vital mixed messages across all fields…
