Some words from Tim Williams about Trans_Beskid_Radio_Vol. Four, which may very well describe the whole series & my radio works in general. Thanks Tim.

 

 

"Trans_Beskid_Radio exists in the tension between narrative (melody) and trance, between time and egolessness. The ambient, meditative noises of everyday life, expressive of what is, of being, become harnessed in time, while the glimmers and blips of radio transmissions, recalling road trips as well as lonely late night pit stops, bring to mind Thich Nath Hanh's observation about radio waves: the fact that we don't see them but know they are there may be true of (other) beings we have known. Untethering us from the narrative of melodic line and from the suffocation of uninterrupted being, we become capable of stepping outside of our bodies, dancing on the ceiling looking down at ourselves. The experience also gives new meaning to Keats's unheard music sweeter; could it be not just inchoate musings but the memory of a song, or something in between, where we hear a fragment and fill in the gaps, half-heard, half-created?"  

-- Tim Williams
