Services Art in Liverpool FM
It's my own personal history project stretching back to 2007 - with hundreds of recorded interviews, podcasts and plays. This section of the site is pretty old so don't expect it to work all the time and ignore it asking for Real Player to be loaded.
So Listener beware!!!

Vincent Ramos and Diego J. Garza - BAR SCORE
Written by Defnet MediaVincent Ramos and Diego J. Garza - BAR SCORE
In September 2007, PawnShop Gallery in Los Angeles staged a series of events curated by Natilee Harren entitled DRIP EVENT (for George Brecht). The evening gathered together ‘performers offering his or her unique interpretation as part of a collective exploration of the infinite potential of the score’, including Vincent and Diego’s score: Please pour beer, into cup, under microphone. We are recording. Thank you.

Field recordings collected in India and mixed upon my return.
My practise shifts between processes and methodologies of capturing and composition that arise from my relationship to the immediate environment and our experience of place and memory through sound.
The microphone as my tool, acts as a sonic barometer, to record the aural world from the peripheral edges to the core of the acoustic environment.
Through creating images for the ear, I will focus on the mysterious qualities of human communication, the questions raised by the linguistic confrontations that occur within the public spaces of social architecture, and the power of human communication represented by the voice taken out of its visual context.

Created as a 29-minute piece for broadcast during Isea 98, this edit was composed using amateur actors and found sounds.

This Inventor's Notebook is a useful introduction to Le Caine's life and work.

Music For The Williamson Tunnels: A Collection Of The Sound Of Dripping Water
As Brian Eno made music for environments rather than from them (Music For Airports) these CDs are best listened to within the strange damp world of the Williamson Tunnels in Liverpool. The ceilings of these caverns are thin and the sound of dripping water can frequently be heard, but not necessarily seen. It is a sound that has intrigued artists for nigh on a century and this collection brings together historical pieces alongside new compositions from artists who have expanded that first single drip: Link
Weirdo Music, drip drip drip
Based in Heerlen in the Netherlands, artist Marco Kalnenek has contributed this track originally recorded in 2004 for the water, wind and sails compilation under the nom-de-plume Weirdomusic.
