Charles Amirkhanian introduces a program of ambient sound recordings made by listeners and friends of KPFA from around the world. On this program you will hear a ride in the Goodyear blimp “Columbia” as it flies over the Berkeley hills, a duck feeding at Lake Merritt in Oakland, California, Charles taking a shower at home, the sound of Michael Barclay (KPFA’s opera commentator) breathing and writing, a flock of sparrows in a fifty year old redwood tree, and the story of John Fare, a conceptual artist whose “shows” consist of the continuing amputation of various portions of his physical body. (It is generally believed that Fare is a mythical character first conceived of by Av Isaacs who put on a mixed media show at his art gallery in Toronto, Sept. 17, 1968.) |
