Hooting Yard : Cramp Medication

I stared at the cows, and the cows stared back.

They showed no sign of letting me pass. And then it dawned on me that they must have been sent as emissaries to stop me returning to the prog rock bewilderment home where Primrose tended to ghouls. The cows were trying to save me from becoming a ghoul myself, and urging me, in their quiet, cow-like way, to turn around, and to return in the direction of the horrible cave!

Hooting Yard: Beam Of Fantastic Glee

There was a heroic bus driver, and his name was Kim Fat Goo. He drove his bus through puddles. He drove it straight and true, though he swerved if he saw a duck or a pig or an infant human tiny or a succubus or an incubus as he steered towards the briny. He drove his bus across Pointy Town, heading for the sea. At the beach he stopped to let passengers off and he drank a flask of tea. Oh, Kim Fat Goo he drained his flask and he tipped the dregs in the sand, and he idled awhile on the promenade and he watched a spaceship land.

Out poured a gaggle of alien beings with flippers and antennae and claws and flagrant disregard for the rubric of Pointy Town laws.

*Yeah, alright, Psycho started filming in 1959, so strictly speaking, it’s 48 years of American Splatter, but that doesn’t have quite the same ring to it!

Radio Armed Response

London based artist Claudia Wegener walks the streets of two suburban communities in Johannesburg S.A. In door to door interviews, through intercom systems and across gates, she asks questions related to public safety and a privatised security system.

The result is a radio mix from what the artist likes to call dramatic field recordings. In surprisingly intimate, often humorous conversations, narratives of a complex urban patchwork of communities unfold before your ‘very eyes’. What unravels, far beyond ‘issues of security’, or social and urban divisions are shared concerns, questions, stories and visions about living together. In this 60mins programme for London’s art radio station Resonance104.4fm (www.resonancefm.com), the original half hour audio piece from 2005 is reframed in recent takes. Joburg footage recorded in Sandton and Soweto in March 2006.

This recording was first broadcast on April 27th 2007.
