Achim Wollscheid – replaying the archive Podcast
1 Morton Feldman – String Quartet II / 2 The Grateful Dead – Live Dead, Dark Star / 3 Phil Niblock – Works for Hurdy Gurdy and Voice / 4 Melvins – Lysol / 5 Soft Machine – Fifth /// “replaying the archive / Actually I tried to record one of my broadcasts at RadioX in Frankfurt, where I produce – every 4 weeks – a 2 hour nonstop realtime computer music stream. For various reasons I wasn’t satisfied with the result in regard to what I imagined as a broadcast for RAM, so I tried once more at an improvised studio at home, which somehow makes sense, because that’s where the archive is – meaning all the records and CDs I collected over the years and which during the pandemic I started to listen to again on purpose. One of the purposes was to find out which recording stands the test of time and which doesn’t. Five of my favourite CDs I used as a source or starting point for a digital transformation, meaning bits and fragments of the respective piece are monitored, so to say, and processed in the following. The processing involves both intentionally programmed and chance operated procedures, of which certain aspects can be changed and re-defined during live transformation. Using a term from the architectural realm you could say the procedures are parametrical.“ Achim Wollscheid (2021)

Paolo Aita – intervento al Todi Festival (2014)
Paolo Aita (1958 -2016), era nato a Cosenza per poi trasferirsi a Pisa dove ha studiato Lettere e Filosofia. Ma è a Roma che si era fatto notare per il suo delicato eclettismo e il suo garbo curatoriale. Alla sua attività giornalistica (collaboratore di molte riviste d’arte, tra cui Inside Art, e redattore di programmi musicali su Radio Vaticana) ha sempre affiancato quella curatoriale. Ha curato moltissime mostre e vari cataloghi e antologie musicali, oltre ad aver pubblicato molti libri riguardo agli argomenti più vari,
dall’estetica alle traduzioni. Redattore di Segno, Arte e Critica, Exibart.
Paolo Aita (1958 – 2016), born in Cosenza, Italy, studied Literature and Philosophy in Pisa.
But it was in Rome that he drew attention to himself for his delicate eclecticism and his curatorial grace. His journalistic activity (collaborator of many art magazines, including Inside Art, and editor of the music programs on Vatican Radio) was always joined by the curatorial one. He has curated many exhibitions and various catalogs and musical anthologies, in addition to publishing many books on the most varied topics, from aesthetics to translations. Editor of Segno, Arte e Critica, Exibart.
