PSRS - "Radio Garbage" Performance:

Romaric Sobac: Objects(, turntable)

The trio of Matt Bauder, Thomas Charbonnel
and Chris Dahlgren uses acoustic sound sources and
electronic processing to produce minimaximalistic sound pieces that may or may not be reminiscent of 50's Music Concrète, Edgar Varese's 'Desserts' and La Monte Young's 'Second dream of the high-tension wire step-down transformer'.
The Bauder Dougherty Duo devotes all its concert performances and studio recordings to the performance of one piece. the piece is defined by rigid guidelines. performances generally last 30 minutes.
"Radio Garbage" is a lo-fi, neo-proto-dadaist performance using a radio, a radio-controlled digital clock, a Theremin connected to effect pedals, and garbage / objects usually found on the street a few hours before the forthcoming performance. Toy instruments, such as a toy trumpet or a toy piano, or a turntable may also be played during the performance. The radio (Tivoli Audio Model One), tuned randomly on amplitude modulation (AM band), interacts with the radio-controlled clockwork (Braun Time Control DB 10 fsl). In one of his latest performances, RS was wearing a beekeeper uniform. In his last performance, PS was playing the bass with a shopping bag on his head.
