Abstract

Sound Thoughts, Words and Music is a six hour radio documentary. Produced during an artist in residence at Resonance Extra (part of Resonance FM), a 24/7 digital broadcasting platform dedicated to global music, sound art and radio art.The theme of the documentary is about exploring whether or not sound can be considered music. A simple question starts the programme: If a tree falls in a forest and there’s no one there to hear it, does it make a sound?So as to give a broad perspective of viewpoints the work of a variety of active composers, performers, writers, producers, poets and thinkers, as well as, poetry excerpts, alongside recorded interview material is presented. Given the length of time the programme runs for, it was decided to divide it into twelve sections of various lengths. One section includes within it a world premiere of the piece “Silent Counterpoint” by S. Constantinou.
Programme section timings are as follows: 6pm - Overture. 6:37pm - Exposition. 7:09pm - Second Subject. 7:43pm - Poetry, Techno & Saga. 8:16pm - Tango. 8:50pm - A Sequence of Interviews. 9:11pm- World Premiere “Silent Counterpoint”. 9:32pm - Sisters. 10:03pm - The Two Professors. 10:25pm - Telyn. 11:20pm - Recapitulations. 11:42pm - Finale (& end notes).
