	12:18pm Andrew in Toronto: hiya spodi!
	12:18pm tim: ↳ Song: "Weekend (1930)" by "Walter Ruttmann" I wonder what the response was to hearing everyday sounds incorporated into this piece. It must have been a pretty new concept in 1930.
	12:18pm Tony Coulter: Greetings, spodi!
	12:19pm Sem: ↳ spodiodi @12:17 Atlantic seaboard howdy, s'pod'i!

	12:23pm chresti: Hi Andrew! (sorry for late replies, I was outside throwing peanuts on the roof of the tennis booth)
	12:23pm spodiodi: chresti* :-B
	12:23pm Tony Coulter: ↳ DJ Peter @12:22 Hey, Peter!
	12:24pm chresti: hi spodi!\\//
	🥁 12:25pm David (in London): ↳ spodiodi @12:23 Yo Spod!
	12:26pm Tony Coulter: ↳ tim @12:18 Yes, I think that Ruttmann may be the first sound collage piece ever. It was done using sound film -- like a movie for the ears.
	12:31pm tim: ↳ Tony Coulter @12:26 Oh wow! I was speculating how it was recorded and edited.
	12:34pm ?: "This article examines Walter Ruttmann's 'Weekend,' a twelve-minute programme made for German radio in 1930. Recorded and edited using Tri-Ergon optical film sound technology, it was described by Ruttmann in the following terms: 'Weekend is a study in sound montage. I used the film strip to record the sound exclusively, yielding what amounts to a blind film'. The programme is often referenced in histories of sonic art, since Ruttmann's 'cinematic' use of montage seems to have prefigured the developments that took place in musique concrète over a decade later. However, despite being a well-known piece of work, 'Weekend' remains critically neglected: a footnote to Ruttmann's better-known work in cinema. The article aims to revisit and reappraise Weekend as a radical modernist work by considering not only its status as a pioneering piece of sonic art, but also its intermediality. Ruttmann's deployment of filmic techniques within a radiophonic context can be seen to radically challenge the differentiation of art forms and media that has been seen to define modernism, and by situating Weekend within the context of Ruttmann's broader project as an artist, the article examines how the relationship the programme forges between cinema and radio might be understood within in a history of radical modernism."--Synopsis, Birtwistle, A. (2016). Photographic sound art and the silent modernity of walter ruttmann's "weekend" (1930). The New Soundtrack, 6(2), 109-127.
	12:36pm Dean: I keep question-marking myself. That's meet up there^
	🥁 12:36pm listener james from westwood: Sorry for the bug, Tony!
	12:36pm Dean: That's me up there! Dammit.
	12:38pm Sem: ↳ Dean @12:36 Thanks for the Ruttman piece context, Dean.

	12:39pm Tony Coulter: ↳ listener james from westwood @12:36 Thanks, James! I sound worse than I feel.
	12:40pm Tony Coulter: Yes, Dean, thanks for the Ruttmann info (and ... greetings!)
	12:44pm Webhamster Henry: the microtonal set... We did a lot of Wyschnegradsky at the American Festival of Microtonal Music...
	12:47pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Webhamster Henry @12:44 Sadly, I don't have any Alois Hába for you today.
	🥁 12:53pm WR: ↳ Tony Coulter @12:47 Alois Hába! That is a name I've not heard or thought of for many many years. I think I have his opera, Mother, packed away with most of my vinyl...
	12:55pm Tony Coulter: By the way, Partch is playing the adapted viola and is one of the two voices (the more speaking/intoning voice).
	1:06pm Dean: I was hoping for Hindemith. His theater music is remarkable.

	1:22pm tim: I have to admit that Madeline Kahn singing "I'm Tired" in Blazing Saddles has ruined Kurt Weill songs for me - hahaha!
	1:23pm Sem: ↳ tim @1:22 heh, thanks for that flashback.
	1:28pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Tony Coulter @1:13 Great set Tony!
	1:28pm wendy del formaggio: @tim, I played that very song last week! 😄
	1:28pm tim: ↳ wendy del formaggio @1:28 Archives here I come!!!!
	1:29pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @1:28 Thanks, Andrew!
	1:30pm Rich in Washington: I remember my grade school music teacher Mr. White talking about extended and prepared piano techniques and demonstrating them on the classroom upright piano. It sure stuck with me.
	1:31pm Tony Coulter: Rich! Heya!
	1:31pm tim: ↳ Rich in Washington @1:30 That's really cool!
	🥁 1:33pm David (in London): ↳ tim @1:22 What am I? Some kind of wabbit?

	1:43pm Tony Coulter: See you, Tim!
	🥁 1:43pm egould: ↳ tim @1:41 [Bart, disguised as a Klansman, describes his qualifications as a villain] Bart: Stampeding cattle. Hedley Lamarr: That's not much of a crime. Bart: Through the Vatican? Hedley Lamarr: [smiling] Kinkyyyy. Sign here.
	1:44pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Stanley @1:42 Hiya, Stanleeeee!
	1:47pm doctorjazz: Hi Tony and Streamers!
	1:47pm wendy del formaggio: One thing I love about the music Tony is playing today is that 90 years later it’s still challenging. The other thing I love is knowing all of us exist in a long and beautiful lineage of glorious weirdos.
	1:48pm Stanley: The present day composers refuse to die.
	1:52pm pot8o: hi everyone! can't listen at this moment, but i'll check out the archive later

	1:58pm Tony Coulter: Thanks, Wendy! See you!
	2:02pm Rich in Washington: I wish classical stations played more 20th century music like this. I think our local-ish All Classical FM used to a long time ago.
	2:07pm doctorjazz: Great sets! (NY Public Radio, which has the only classical station in the area, is also just the "hits")
	2:07pm Dean: KUSC in LA used to play a fairly wide swath of classical, early to recent.
	2:08pm Tony Coulter: Hiya, Dr. J! Thanks!
	🥁 2:13pm Mxter Baba: greetings, Tony and WFMU palz!
	2:14pm Rich in Washington: ↳ doctorjazz @2:07 Yeah, our All Classical station is really unimaginatively programmed, including a 'score'/soundtrack program which invariably features John Williams prominently.
	2:14pm Tony Coulter: Greets, Mxter Baba!
	2:14pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Mxter Baba @2:13 Hi Mxter Baba!
	2:15pm Webhamster Henry: Classical station do tend to skip over the last 100 years or so...
	2:15pm Rich in Washington: There used to be a wonderful Modern Classical program very early in the morning on KBOO in the 80s/90s.
	2:17pm Webhamster Henry: My pal Peter Wetzler on Radio Kingston now has a 3 hour show of classical music and beyond www.radiokingston.org...
	2:20pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Webhamster Henry @2:17 Ooo! I'll check that out! Thanks!
	2:21pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "Quintet for Wind Instruments (1936)" by "Albert H... nice Dies Irae nod in this piece

	🥁 2:38pm WR: ↳ Rich in Washington @2:29 Aaaah. Her Wikipedia page has been updated saying she passed today but don't see any reference for the change.
	2:42pm Rich in Washington: ↳ WR @2:38 That edit must've just happened as that's one of the first places I looked. They're usually updated pretty quickly.
	2:44pm Rich in Washington: I'm seeing lots of mention of her passing on X(Twitter). I initially saw something on a Bill Laswell FB group page but the person who posted it didn't elaborate so I didn't entirely trust it.
	2:45pm Sem: Deeply satisfying listening, this tour of modern classical music from the 30s. Thank you, Tony. Hope that cold diminishes in short order. See you and all next time round.
	2:46pm Tony Coulter: Thanks, Sem! See yerz!
	2:46pm Rich in Washington: Ditto what Sem said. Love this era/style of music. Really adventurous for its time.

	12:47pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Webhamster Henry @12:44 Sadly, I don't have any Alois Hába for you today.
	🥁 12:53pm WR: ↳ Tony Coulter @12:47 Alois Hába! That is a name I've not heard or thought of for many many years. I think I have his opera, Mother, packed away with most of my vinyl...
	12:55pm Tony Coulter: By the way, Partch is playing the adapted viola and is one of the two voices (the more speaking/intoning voice).

	1:22pm tim: I have to admit that Madeline Kahn singing "I'm Tired" in Blazing Saddles has ruined Kurt Weill songs for me - hahaha!
	1:23pm Sem: ↳ tim @1:22 heh, thanks for that flashback.
	1:28pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Tony Coulter @1:13 Great set Tony!
	1:28pm wendy del formaggio: @tim, I played that very song last week! 😄
	1:28pm tim: ↳ wendy del formaggio @1:28 Archives here I come!!!!
	1:29pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @1:28 Thanks, Andrew!
	1:30pm Rich in Washington: I remember my grade school music teacher Mr. White talking about extended and prepared piano techniques and demonstrating them on the classroom upright piano. It sure stuck with me.
	1:31pm Tony Coulter: Rich! Heya!
	1:31pm tim: ↳ Rich in Washington @1:30 That's really cool!
	🥁 1:33pm David (in London): ↳ tim @1:22 What am I? Some kind of wabbit?

	1:44pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Stanley @1:42 Hiya, Stanleeeee!
	1:47pm doctorjazz: Hi Tony and Streamers!
	1:47pm wendy del formaggio: One thing I love about the music Tony is playing today is that 90 years later it’s still challenging. The other thing I love is knowing all of us exist in a long and beautiful lineage of glorious weirdos.
	1:48pm Stanley: The present day composers refuse to die.
	1:52pm pot8o: hi everyone! can't listen at this moment, but i'll check out the archive later

	1:58pm Tony Coulter: Thanks, Wendy! See you!
	2:02pm Rich in Washington: I wish classical stations played more 20th century music like this. I think our local-ish All Classical FM used to a long time ago.
	2:07pm doctorjazz: Great sets! (NY Public Radio, which has the only classical station in the area, is also just the "hits")
	2:07pm Dean: KUSC in LA used to play a fairly wide swath of classical, early to recent.
	2:08pm Tony Coulter: Hiya, Dr. J! Thanks!
	🥁 2:13pm Mxter Baba: greetings, Tony and WFMU palz!
	2:14pm Rich in Washington: ↳ doctorjazz @2:07 Yeah, our All Classical station is really unimaginatively programmed, including a 'score'/soundtrack program which invariably features John Williams prominently.
	2:14pm Tony Coulter: Greets, Mxter Baba!
	2:14pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Mxter Baba @2:13 Hi Mxter Baba!
	2:15pm Webhamster Henry: Classical station do tend to skip over the last 100 years or so...
	2:15pm Rich in Washington: There used to be a wonderful Modern Classical program very early in the morning on KBOO in the 80s/90s.
	2:17pm Webhamster Henry: My pal Peter Wetzler on Radio Kingston now has a 3 hour show of classical music and beyond www.radiokingston.org...
	2:20pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Webhamster Henry @2:17 Ooo! I'll check that out! Thanks!

	🥁 2:38pm WR: ↳ Rich in Washington @2:29 Aaaah. Her Wikipedia page has been updated saying she passed today but don't see any reference for the change.
	2:42pm Rich in Washington: ↳ WR @2:38 That edit must've just happened as that's one of the first places I looked. They're usually updated pretty quickly.
	2:44pm Rich in Washington: I'm seeing lots of mention of her passing on X(Twitter). I initially saw something on a Bill Laswell FB group page but the person who posted it didn't elaborate so I didn't entirely trust it.
	2:45pm Sem: Deeply satisfying listening, this tour of modern classical music from the 30s. Thank you, Tony. Hope that cold diminishes in short order. See you and all next time round.
	2:46pm Tony Coulter: Thanks, Sem! See yerz!
	2:46pm Rich in Washington: Ditto what Sem said. Love this era/style of music. Really adventurous for its time.
