Radio: deadBatteryMusic Extended #4 at Camp!

The topic of the forth episode is: Field Recordings

Am 8.5.2026 um 15 Uhr geht die vierte Ausgabe von deadBatteryMusic Extended auf Camp Radio auf Sendung. Das Thema der Radiosendung lautete: "Field Recordings". Musik, die auf Klängen von Natur- und Umgebungsgeräuschen basiert, die mithilfe portabler Aufnahmegeräte realisiert werden.

Die ersten Stück kommt vom Gast Sam Auinger und hat den Titel "material songs: resonance".  Eine klangliche Untersuchung von Material im offenen Raum. Metallgeländer, Böden und gebaute Interfaces werden durch Kontakt und Witterung in Schwingung versetzt. Regen und Schneefall erzeugen unregelmäßige rhythmische Strukturen. Das Stück entsteht aus der Wechselwirkung von Material, Bewegung und Zeit. Resonanz beschreibt eine Beziehung zwischen Oberfläche, Umgebung und Anregung.

Weitere Stücke kommen von Dorninger "Bells of Mustang" von der Platte membrane (base), ein Remix von Wolfgang Dorninger “Nodar Water Suite Remixed” basierend auf Field Recordings aufgenommen während einer Binaural Nodar Residency in Nodar Portugal in 2008. Das Stück „From Linz to Johannesburg“ vom Projekt text2field-recordings von Wolfgang Dorninger schliesst das Thema Field Recordings in der Sendung ab. Das Stück wurde am 29. März 2014 bei der Ausstellung „L F ST L“ von Malose Kadromatt Malahlela bei VANSA (Visual Arts Network of South Africa) in Johannesburg als Video aufgeführt. Der Text, der die Field Recordings getriggert hat kam von Malose Kadromatt Malahlela und sprach ihm aus dem herzen: "Marseille had that texture of sound and it reminded me a lot of Jozi, inner city."

Der musikalische Vorbote auf die nächste Sendung mit dem Motto "deadBatteryMusic" kommt von drkmbnt und hat den schönen Titel "deadBatteryMusic Preview" und ist ein wilder Ritt.

On May 8, 2026, at 3 p.m., the fourth episode of deadBatteryMusic Extended will air on Camp Radio. The theme of the radio show was “Field Recordings”: music based on sounds from nature and the environment, captured using portable recording devices.

The first piece is by guest Sam Auinger and is titled “material songs: resonance.”  A sonic exploration of material in open space. Metal railings, ground surfaces, and constructed interfaces are set into vibration through contact and weather. Rain and snowfall generate irregular rhythmic structures. The piece emerges from the interaction of material, movement, and time. Resonance describes the relationship among the surface, the environment, and excitation.

Additional pieces include Dorninger’s “Bells of Mustang” from the album membrane (base), and a remix by Wolfgang Dorninger titled “Nodar Water Suite Remixed,” based on field recordings made during a Binaural Nodar Residency in Nodar, Portugal, in 2008. The piece “From Linz to Johannesburg” from Wolfgang Dorninger’s text2field-recordings project concludes the program’s exploration of field recordings. The piece was presented as a video on March 29, 2014, at the exhibition “L F ST L” by Malose Kadromatt Malahlela at VANSA (Visual Arts Network of South Africa) in Johannesburg. The text that triggered the field recordings came from Malose Kadromatt Malahlela and spoke from the heart: “Marseille had that texture of s

About deadBatteryMusic Extended

The radio show deadBatteryMusic Extended consists of four “unholy” elements: deadBatteryMusic, Drones -> Cinematic, Random (Algo) Music, and Field Recordings.

deadBatteryMusic presents music from a research series initiated by Uwe Schüler and Ralf Schreiber at the KulturgüterSchuppen in Dußlingen, which has been researched by a loose group since 2025. It deals with The Art of Power Starving in dealing with CMOS chips and the crazy sounds that arise at minimal voltages.

Drones -> Cinematic presents music that is very rhythmic at times, but without a beat. It is about soundscapes, acoustic spaces, and sound surfaces that usually only produce unusual sounds in a very small tonal range.

Random (Algo) Music presents musical constructs that are difficult to control during play, but are based on compositions of circuits and signal generators. The technical setup becomes the composition, the play becomes fun!

Field Recordings presents sound recordings that are mixed randomly using Wolfgang Dorninger's Interactive Sound Mixer.

One “unholy” element characterizes a 60-minute broadcast of deadBatteryMusic Extended.
