04/09/2010- Erotic Fan Fiction, Edition #2
Posted on | August 31, 2010 | No Comments
If you like your Sunday night radio hot, sleazy and a little bit rediculous, keep your ears peeled to Fbi’s hour of innovative new radio projects ‘Sunday Night at the Movies’. This week SNATM takes a literary turn for the worst as we delve into the clandestine imaginings of Erotic Fan Fiction writers from across the country. Eddie Sharp (The Mad Max Remix, Some Films I have Known, Imperial Panda Festival) has wrangled a team of terrible typists to present an ADULTS ONLY EDITION of sexy bedtime stories, part 2.
Adult themes, sexual references and obsessive fandom will ensue. Not recommended for the faint hearted.
Sunday Night at the Movies, 9-10pm, Sunday 4/11/2010
29/08/10 – Politics in Play
Posted on | August 28, 2010 | No Comments
Hi Everybody! Alana here, filling in for the effervescent Brooke Olsen this week. I am so freaking excited, freaking…excited. Usually when one fills in, it becomes a kind of ragtag collection of random personal cd’s, Barry Manilow’s, Because it’s Christmas, or Tripping Daisy’s, I Am an Elastic Firecracker, but this time, shuttup I say, and listen! Jenna Martin and Carolyn Burns are the creative duo behind an upcoming show “Careers for Attractive Ladies” playing at this year’s Sydney Fringe Festival. They’ll come in and talk a little bit about The Spinster and the Whippet, a Sydney based theatre collective dedicated to the production of new Australian work, as well give us a little taste of the show live in studio! The show itself is a “political bedroom farce set in London, December 1972″ and on that note the rest of the show will explore the political in music. Get set for some cross genre love, from Billie Holiday to Rage Against the Machine, I promise you awesome tunes that delve into the political and social without the loss of genuine listenability. Is that a word? It should be.
Track list:
(Music featured in Careers for Attractive Ladies)
Tina Turner: Proud Mary
David Bowie: Suffragette City
Cher: Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves
(Politically/socially inspired tracks)
Billy Holiday: Strange Fruit
Bob Dylan: Only a pawn in their game
Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five: The Message
Sage Francis: Makeshift Patriot
Tom Waits: The Road to Peace

22/08/2010- Going Down Swinging presents edition #30 Poetry! Poetry! Poetry!
Posted on | August 22, 2010 | No Comments
Lisa Greenaway, co-editor of Going Down Swinging number 30. Notice the duck on the cover? It’s riding in a hot air balloon. Love it.
Something old, something new, something commissioned….
Going Down Swinging is a Melbourne-based literary anthology which is, in 2010, celebrating a very special 30th Anniversary. 30 is the numeric milestone in both years and editions for the journal, which has spawned from humble black and white staple print beginnings to full-throttle colour beast status, complete with audio cd, flash fiction, haiku, comic strips and healthily commissioned new work.
At number 30, GDS pays homage to it’s Melbourinan roots whilst strengthening itself as an international journal of all things wordsmithy. I’m personally pretty stoked to see spoken word contributions by Buddy Wakefield (Seattle, USA), Cristin O’Keefe Aptowicz (NY, USA) and a re-emergence of New Zealand’s Hinemoana Baker, who was also a phone guest on Sunday Night at the Movies back in 2008.
Our program tonight takes place across two states (Sydney / Melbourne) and two community radio stations (FBi / 3RRR). Our guests are Edition number 30 editors Lisa Greenaway, Nathan Curnow and Ella Holcombe. The gaggle have set themselves up in a studio in our sister station 3rrr to answer roulette style questions about their own experiences with GDS.
We’ll also be playing fliploads of new national and international poetry from the double disc set.
Tune in, won’t you?
xoxo

08/08/2010- American Installation & Sound Artist Stephen Vitiello guest programs.
Posted on | August 5, 2010 | 1 Comment
On this week’s program we investigate the world through the ears and eyes of Legendary American Sound & Installation Artist, Field recordist and Electronic Musician Stephen Vitiello. He’ll be guest programming and playing recordings from his personal collection.
Noted as the only person to ever capture the sounds of the World Trade Centre creaking from the buildings 91st floor, post hurricane Floyd and Pre-911, Stephen Vitiello is compelling character with a string of credits to his name. He’s recorded the sounds of the Brazillian Amazon, collaborated with sound artists Scanner & Pauline Oliveros, with visual artists Nam June Paik & Tony Oursler and contributed to numerous dance, film and cd releases.
Stephen visits Australia this week to exhibit two new works ‘The Sound Of Red Earth’ and ‘The Birds’. Both projects incorporate audio of Australian flora and fauna into original new installations- housed at Sydney Park Brickworks and the Art Gallery of New South Wales respectivley. These have been organised in association with Kaldor Arts Projects. You can find out more about both works here.
This promises to be a very special Sunday Night at the Movies. Tune in, won’t you?

CONTRIBUTOR CALL OUT:
Kaldor Public Art Projects are currently seeking submissions from sound artists and musicians for a free, digital compilation to be released later this year. The compilation is aimed at framing Vitiello’s work from ‘The Sound of Red Earth’ in a wider context, one that seeks to explore the prevalent themes of isolation, remoteness, distance, nature, environment and ‘earth’ through sound and music.
Submissions are now open for the compilation – Brisbane-based artist and Room40 label manager, Lawrence English (whose new collaborative release with Vitiello is slated for release later in 2010) will lead the curation, which is also expected to include audio work from Vitiello.
To submit work, email redearth@wearethenest.com – providing a bio or artist statement and links to where the audio file can be found online (such as on Soundcloud, via download link or similar service). Alternatively, audio on CD can be posted to The Sound of Red Earth, PO Box 721, Leichhardt, NSW 2040. Submissions should arrive no later than 30th September 2010.

01/08/2010- Finnigan & Brother live poetry / soundscape (plus expletives)
Posted on | August 1, 2010 | 2 Comments
This week’s program is brought to you by the letter C for Canberra and the letter P for poetry.
Our contributors, Chris and David Finnigan have escaped the heady thrills and spills of Australia’s state capital to join us from 9pm. One night only. Live, uncut, F words aplenty.
You can expect a 20min thrill ride of spoken word meets soundtrackery. Excellent.
Chris & David will be presenting a new project entitled Solar System, plus pulling out a Reading festival favourite titled ‘The Goddamn Kings of Leon’.
David is a fellow blogger, a pharmacy assistant and practicing wordsmith specialising in playwriting, spoken word and theatre. He’s co-director of the 2010 Crack Theatre festival which happens annually as part of TINA (This Is Not Art) on the October Long weekend in everybody’s favourite ex-mining town Newcastle.
Chris is his brother and will be wrangling guitar in tonight’s performance to create excellent soundscape.
I’d recommend checking out David’s blog here. You can read more about tonight’s performances plus sample Finnigan & brother’s work. Get into it.
Also on tonight’s program we take a trip into the Tasmanian badlands via a compilation titled ‘Three Minutes in a Car Park’. I’m quite excited about this project and that fact that an underground, independent space somewhere, somewhat far away is busy documenting thier own creative output for publication and distribution across the chilly Tasman. It’s been largely recorded, collated and created but an Artist Run Initiative in Hobart called ’6_a’ and features some excellent local noise, sound art, field recordings, rock and punk.

18/07/2010- ‘DRAW ME A MAP MY BROTHER’ LIVE RADIO PLAY, TOM KIELY & BRAVO CHILD
Posted on | July 18, 2010 | No Comments
Sunday Night at the Movies resurrects the radio play once again this week. The process always fills us with a sense of nostalgia, fond memories of early SNATM plays at the Sydney Opera House, and further back before our time (and yours) to the mass panic caused by Orson Welle’s ‘War of the Worlds’ and subsequent Sunday Night at the Movies reinterpretation of the classic, our most contriversial broadcast to date.
Our contributors tonight are Tom Kiely and Bravo Child. They’re presenting ‘DRAW ME A MAP MY BROTHER’ live to air. A 45 minuite frenzy of spoken word, hip hop, poetry and music developed during the Underbelly Arts lab and performed at the festival yesterday.
DRAW ME A MAP MY BROTHER:
Over the course of Underbelly Arts, Thomas and Bravo will fashion together a map – a something woven together of scraps of rhyme, of theatre, of music, out of so many lines written on the backs of tickets to experiences, the stamp of an elephant on the inside of your wrist.
Poets of a bar-stool toppling performance bent, and brothers in rhyme and quest, Bravo and Thomas are back together again after 2 years in creative isolation. This is the story of a coming together and a letting go.

Sunday Night at the Movies, in association with FBi’s Live Feed team have been out and about during Sydney’s Biennale, recording a host of experimental music performances @ Artspace’s Superdeluxe series.
We’ll be broadcasting these on the program over the coming months, starting with our first instalment on this week’s show… consider it a sneak peek of things to come on SNATM!!!
Sound artist and arts editor Gail Priest curated Superdeluxe on 03/07/2010. The lineup included dual noise laptop wranglers Machine Death, the coupling of Sydney’s Pimmon with cohort Jeff Burch (playing as Mandala Trap) as well as a brief set by Gail Priest.
Part two of the program features sounds from the Underbelly Arts Lab cartographic cum poetry project ‘Draw Me a Map My Brother’. The hip hop inspired, cut and paste two hander is the brainchild of Tom Kiely and Bravo Child. Our poetry producer Alana Hicks and myself caught up with the duo at the lab to find out more. See below for podcast.

04/07/2010- Soundtrack to an unmade film :: The Noise
Posted on | June 29, 2010 | 1 Comment
With viola, violin, violin and cello you could say that THE NOISE are a conventional string quartet. Sure, they’re all traditionally trained and well versed in the language of classical music, but somewhere along the path of thier evolution convention detoured and experimentation took over.
They do strange things with monitor feedback, their instruments plug into amplifiers & their compositions are spontaneous improvised creations. It’s all kind of weird in a good way and it makes for lovely fodder for our ‘Soundtrack to an Unmade Film’ series.
If you haven’t caught one yet here’s how it works; we ask musicians and beat makers to create a soundtrack to a film of thier own imagining. They work away at it until it’s baked – a strange new soundtrack to a film that has been imagined but will probably never, ever get made.
You can catch THE NOISE live, in partnership with the Australian Museum and in celebration of the International Year of Biodiversity. They will once again be doing strange things with contemporary classical music (post SNATM) beneath the cavernous jaws of the museum’s sperm whale. It’s on July 8th. Find out more and book tickets by going here.
We also have some lovely new experimental soundtrack work of a different ilk to play for you on the program. Make sure that you tune in!
27/06/2010- Hybrid Poetry Special
Posted on | June 27, 2010 | No Comments
Hybrid poets & mutant writers.
From multi-platform installation artists to journalists cum playwrights. Tonight’s program tackles them all. Infact we’ve had a veritable tidal wave of new poetry contributions gracing out inboxes as of late. It makes me wonder, is Sydney on the cusp of a poetry renaissance?
Readers of major state-based media publications may have come across our first contributor already. Benito Di Fonzo, playwright, poet, writer of news & finder of facts took some time out earlier this week to share words with the SNATM crew. We recorded three pieces of his at The Token Imagination Studios, two of which we’ll hear tonight.
Our poetry producer Alana Hicks also caught up with Omar Musa, 2008 Australian Poetry Slam Champion, 2007 British Council Award Recipient and music producer / performer. He has been touring internationally with a support slot for Gil Scott Heron fast approaching and is on the verge of releasing a shiny new album ‘World Goes To Pieces’. Alana and Omar wax lyrical about poetic hybridity tonight.
Also on the show, a flood of contributions from some damn good poets from around the country. Fiona Wright, David Finnigan & Jess Cook to name a few. We’re really digging your contributions poets. Keep them coming!
- Upcoming opportunities for writers:
* 2010 Poets Union Young Poets Fellowship, deadline 29th June
* Margaret Reid Poetry Contest – deadline 30th June
* Newcastle Poetry Prize – deadline 9th July
