Fragments from a Deviant by Luka Prinčič for Radia/Radio Student/Ljubljana

I always liked radio. It offers a special mental, bodily and emotional

space. At least it used to. Things are so much different these days.

It seems it is so hard to find intimacy, time and attention to focus

on a single channel. It seems like we are tuned to many different

frequencies at once and we're having an open recording device on each

of them. Do we ever go back and listen to those recordings? Have we

really experienced each and every one of these channels? If we

haven't, do the recordings matter?

Radiophonicaly I was "born" through so called Ministry for Experiment

run by Borut Savski, Marko Košnik and Luka Frelih. Broadcasting seemed

such magic. The open radiospace after midnight and the experience of the

eXchange network (first web streaming, creating closed loop/chain of

online rebroadcasters) provoked a special sense of closeness and

distance at the same time.

A recent radio project was a monthly radio show "Fragments from a

Deviant", where various materials - sonic and textual - were

manipulated, processed and edited into a collage of dis/appearing

messages and references.

What follows is a short edit of some of those radio shows and few

original sound pieces.
