   About ~ORE~ Theatre Intangible
~ORE~ Theatre Intangible is an experimental radio show on 91.1FM WRVU in Nashville, Tennessee, USA and worldwide via the WRVU Live Feed. We broadcast Saturday nights/Sunday mornings 2am to 4am Central Standard Time. We bring you the tinkerers, the rule-breakers, the creators, the destroyers, the fringe, the forgotten, the visionaries, the rejects, the left of the left of center, and beyond. In short, we showcase experimental music through the ages. On the weeks between the dj sets, host Tony Youngblood invites local and international experimental musicians to the studio to create one hour of live, original, non-traditional, free form music. It’s not free jazz, and it’s not jam music. Nor is it trance, dance, electronica or any other beat-driven form of music commonly touted as “experimental.” If you’re looking for solo-trade offs, 4/4 time, conventional song structure, and drums/bass/guitar; then you’ve tuned in to the wrong radio show.

For those interested in performing on the show, send us a note and consult the rules of play. If you are an experimental/fringe or noise musician playing a show near the Nashville area, let us know, and we’ll add it to our concert calendar and mention it on the air. Better yet, come on the show for an interview and participate in our live improv performance.

New Episode Guide!!!

On just about every show, I tell the audience that they can download past episodes on this very web page. But alas, for the last few months, only the first 4 episodes have been available. That's because I'm a perfectionist. That, AND, the episodes do need some work before posting. There are the obvious edits -- taking out the talk breaks, the show promos, etc. Then there is the compression, level tweaking, equalizing and overall mastering. Then there's making a cover picture, writing the liner notes. . . you get the idea.

However, I've come to the conclusion that it's more important to just get the stuff up here in it's raw form. So, that being said, the shows that say, RAW UNFINISHED are just that. Keep that in mind and download only to hold yourself over for the final versions. The finished files are in zip format with mp3's, separate interviews, cover art and liner notes. The unfinished files are mp3's in lower fidelity compression rates (because they run so long unedited and my server has a 100mb limit). Usually, though, they are no lower than 160 or 192 kpbs. All improv sets are available with the exception of PIT OF ROAR, which will be coming next week in its final form.

I'm also posting the names and descriptions of the DJ sets, although, I am not allowed to actually link the files for download. WRVU's license does not allow for rebroadcast in electronic form. The DJ sets are in purple.

Now, without further ado, here are the episodes!

July 6th 2008 Episode 16 -- Common Household Objects RAW UNFINISHED
On this episode, we bang on pots, resonate wine glasses, stroke saws, turn on drills, flick combs, play spoons -- anything that's a common household object is indecently fondled. Hear an onslaught of the familiar, played in a very unfamiliar way. Guests include Rhendi, Matt, Ash, Lola and Melodysaur.
June 29th, 2008-- Avant Garde Jazz.
I thought with the screening of the film My Name Is Albert Ayler at the Belcourt, now would be a perfect time for an avant garde jazz/free jazz review. Check out some of the more daring and experimental stuff from the likes of Ayler, Paul Bley, Cecil Taylor, Charles Gayle, Reggie Workman, Miles Davis, Anthony Braxton, Art Ensemble of Chicago, Sunny Murray, Mathew Shipp, Peter Brotzmann, Roland Kirk, David S. Ware, John Coltrane, Joe Maneri, Eric Dolphy, Sun Ra, and Ornette Coleman!
June 15th 2008-- DJ Set -- Melody's picks.
My girlfriend and occasional co-host takes over with her picks from my collection, including Merzbow, Negativland, The Evolution Control Committee, Bob Ostertag, Davenport, Rob Ellis, Silica Gel, Stockhausen, Fred Frith, Alvin Lucier, Art Bears, Anna Lockwood, Henry Cow, Pygmies of the Ituri Rainforest, Seol Ensemble of Traditional Music, an Indian Raga, and the Thai Elephant Orchestra!
June 8th 2008 Episode 15 -- Random and Nameless RAW UNFINISHED
A local acting troupe took over our show while we helplessly protested with trombones, chord organs, metal sheets, strange percussion, analog synths, and more! This show holds the record (and probably always will) for most people in the studio at once! This episode was originally supposed to be an homage to live oldtime radio dramas such as The Shadow, but, if viewed in that perspective, it's unsuccessful. If, however, you're into the Firesign Theater and The Church of the Subgenius, this may be your cup of tea. Be warned, this show doesn't represent your typical ~ORE~, for better or for worse. Be on the lookout for a short film about the making of this episode -- including drama such as one member walking out, several others wishing they could, the production room (in which the actors were housed) not getting a signal, and general frustration. I'm not quite sure how we'll come out in it. A landmark episode, for sure, if not necessarily for content. Participants include Codytron, Paul Cain, Rhendi, Bobobobobob, Wes and Ember W., Anderson from Ortolan, Wess Y., and actors, Random Voight, L'Orange, Nameless, and Rick.
June 1st 2008-- DJ Set -- Hasil Adkins, Fred Lane, The Shaggs.
May 25th 2008 Episode 14 -- The World At Large RAW UNFINISHED
Mile Davis's On the Corner meets Captain Beefheart's Lick My Decals Off Baby. This episode featured modified guitars, cello, musical toys, a full drum set and more! Participants include Murielle and Gaelen from the Grayces, Paul Sparks, Matt Stager, Rhendi, and Anderson from Ortolan. It was a blast.
May 18th 2008-- Replay of Turn the Page
May 4th 2008 Episode 13 -- Patio Sounds RAW UNFINISHED
We were honored to have Paducah, Kentucky musicians Brey Mcoy, Anthony William Herndon, and Dave Diaz join us for one hour of back-patio meandering. Ortolan and Melodysaur rounded out the group. Much goodness.
April 20th 2008 Episode 12 -- Ionize RAW UNFINISHED
This was a solo episode featuring my brother's Alesis Ion synthesizer. He wanted me to sell it on Ebay for him, so I thought I'd make use of it first. I made 30 or so tracks with it's presets and then dj'd them with a pair of Denon cd turntables and a Boss RC series looper. I'm proud to say that after he heard the episode, he decided not to sell the Alesis Ion!

RULES OF PLAY:
This is an experimental music show. Our primary purpose of making live in-studio music is to explore new paths of sound. While it is impossible to completely break away from what has come before, we do try to avoid conventions such as 4/4 time, call and response trade offs, scales, dance-floor repetition, familiar chords, etc. If it sounds like free jazz, blues, rock, funk, techno, or jamming, then we are failing in our experiment. Often, the most talented musicians make the worst experimental performers because they sometimes fall into the rut of what they know (a scale here, a beat there, etc). Due to this, don’t be surprised if we strip you of your beloved guitar and hand you a modified xylophone. Guests should always be conscious of what is going on around them. We should strive to play as one part of an organic whole and only play what will add to the sound and the concept. If your gut tells you to be silent, then be silent -- if it tells you to play one single sustained note, then do so -- if your heart screams out to play a chaotic wall of sound, then go for it (as long as it adds to the mix).

The instruments we play can be anything from traditional drum sets to circuit-bent toys to a ring of keys. Found sound (field recordings, old "talkie" records, etc) will sometimes be incorporated. At other times, we may try an experiment in form (for instance, placing each musician in her own soundproof room and instructing them to just play -- then letting one person in the control room mix those sources in creative ways to make "the score"). Each show has a basic theme involving what we play or how we play or how we manipulate it.

Participants are encouraged to listen to experimental music and fringe artists of other genres. Musicians such as Captain Beefheart, Sun Ra, Miles Davis, Ornette Coleman, The Boredoms, Harry Partch, Negativland, Bob Ostertag, The Residents, Plunderphonics, John Zorn, John Cage, AMM, Merzbow, Davenport, and Arnold Schoenberg are artists after our own heart. We should listen to feel encouragement and inspiration, but we should always make an effort to break new ground rather than mimicking well-tred (if yet still virtually unknown) material.

i can come back on whenever, and i've got some new crazy gear AND a speak & spell (which i can't get working). and i'd love to see you at the show, theres not going to be many people i'm afraid because electronic/noise music doesn't do to well here! at least from my experience.
