KILL YOUR TIMID NOTION
Sunday 21 – Sunday 28 February
Dundee Contemporary Arts, Dundee, Scotland
A festival of open-ended proposals for image, sound and dialogue
Proposal: So maybe art isn’t some object or performance or film or whatever that you look at: it’s the process that produced it. And so…Kill Your Timid Notion is Arika’s festival of experimental image, sound and dialogue. It’s a week-long chance to spend time together and investigate artistic actions and processes that might speak about the world we live in today. The programme is comprised of FILM screenings, live PERFORMANCES, INSTALLATIONS and a series of ‘INVESTIGATION’ events that you can get involved in – we want you to get involved in the processes used by the artists at KYTN this year, and maybe help develop those processes together. In fact, some of the artists might need your help in delivering their performance at the weekend. For full programme information check out www.arika.org.uk
KYTN highlights will be broadcast on Resonance104.4fm on the nights of the festival weekend.

Coming soon…
Resonance has started to plan its coverage of the 2010 London Marathon. As you’d expect, we are not approaching it as a sports event but as a source of radiophonic material, diverse narratives and a way of negotiating the city of London (and more, we don’t yet know what).
On 20th January at 5.45pm (repeated Saturday at 3.45pm), we present a new series of Athlete’s Footage, a regular weekly audio diary made by runner Sue Cooper who will be making programmes for us in the run-up to the big day.
CHRISTMAS ON RESONANCE
Our Christmas schedule should by now be self-explanatory. Each day of the holiday (till 3 January), we’ll post highlights on the front page of the web site to keep you up to date with what we have scheduled – too much to paraphrase here and including many gems.

Media Playground – an EU supported project as part of Broadcast Sculptures, in collaboration with our friends at Orange in Austria and others.
Resonance104.4fm recently presented an afternoon and evening of media frolics at The Foundry, the recorded results of which we will broadcast early in 2010. It was a lot of fun. Thanks to everyone who took part.
Forthcoming – some concerts in London we are supporting:
Nicolas Collins + Oscillatorial Binnage + Paul B. Davis + Resonance Radio Orchestra
Sunday 31st January 2010
Cafe Oto, 18 – 22 Ashwin Street, E8 3DL
Time: 8.00pm
Tickets: £6 available on the door or from wegottickets.com
Nicolas Collins makes his first UK concert appearance since 2004’s epic Feedback: Order from Noise tour. He performs three typically extraordinary works which explore draw on a lifetime of building radical new electronic instruments. Since 1997 Collins has been editor-in-chief of the Leonardo Music Journal, and since 1999 a Professor in the Department of Sound at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. The second edition of his acclaimed book, Handmade Electronic Music – The Art of Hardware Hacking, was published by Routledge in 2009. www.nicolascollins.com
Working with experimental interfaces, video projection, acoustic devices, biofeedback and destabilised equipment responsive to touch, Oscillatorial Binnage create raucous and compelling compositions based on an exploration of the resonant frequencies of found objects.
The Resonance Radio Orchestra is a floating pool of musicians, actors and technicians based around the award-winning radio station Resonance104.4fm. With an ever-changing, fluid line-up and an aesthetic informed by the imp of the perverse, the ensemble is concerned above all with the development of radio art. Tonight the Orchestra presents a new radiophonic sketch based on surreptitious recordings.
Paul B. Davis works in the duo The Potions with DJ LeDeuce (Thrill Jockey), lectures in Fine Art at Goldsmiths and produces beats for St. Louis rapper Wonton. He is the only DJ to ever get thrown off stage at the Technics/DMC World DJ Championships.
