A Different Nature Presents: Wire Music

On this week's A Different Nature, we present Wire Music, the otherwise unheard symphony of powerlines, telephone lines and high tension lines, and the interactions with wind, sunlight or human hands.

We heard the works of Australian composer Alan Lamb and his multi-volume works dealing with recording miles and miles of telephone wires in the Outback. Also, the haunting sounds of an abandoned WWII radar installation, courtesy of English artist Richard Harrison's album Drone Hill 225 and we'll also hear the architectural/acoustic contructs of artists O & A.

We rounded the show out with some of Alvin Lucier's classic Music from a Long Thin Wire, all four tracks played simulaneously to condense the entire album into a single track length. Consider it Music on Four Long Thing Wires.
