  Resonance FM - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Resonance 104.4 FM is a London based community radio station run by the London Musicians Collective which started broadcasting on 1 May 2002 as part of the UK Radio Authority's Access Radio Pilot Scheme.
The station brands itself as "London's first radio art station" and presents material ranging from a programme presented by the staff of the experimental music magazine The Wire to "Calling All Pensioners" which aims to inform the elderly about things such as local events and what benefits they are legally entitled to.
The station is broadcasted from a transmitter at London Bridge which has a limited range due to Ofcom's regulations.

 Iancu Dumitrescu.An interview with Tim Hodgkinson
Musicians - and I'm talking not just about Romanian musicians, but about all musicians here - find it hard to concentrate spontaneously on what is happening in the moment; they can only concentrate in a consciously directed way.
My contacts with musicians are difficult; I use this approach as a provocation, to see how they react, to see what their primary reactions are, to see if I can find something more than pure primitivity, to see if I can channel and refine what is in their inner nature.
Musicians have long been drawn to Husserl, perhaps because, as his image for this emergence of a complementary sense of time and self, he uses the activity of following a musical melody.

Many of these virtuoso musicians were not good sight readers and some could not read music at all, nevertheless their playing thrilled audiences and the spontaneous music they created captured a joy and sense of adventure that was an exciting and radical departure from the music of that time.
Although these musicians names are unknown to most people, then and now, their ideas are still being elaborated on to this day.

As Martin Davidson is fond of reminding us, London is home to well over a hundred free improvisers, not all of whom can be squeezed into the Conway Hall in three days, so I'm also happy to be able to profile the work of Matt Davis in the same issue.
London is an important international centre of musical activity, with music in the city providing the equivalent of 34,000 full-time jobs and sustaining a market in which approximately £1.1 billion is spent annually by London consumers and London based companies.
Some musicians - composers, primarily - seem to function best in glorious isolation from what is going on around them, but I happen to agree with Steve Lacy, who once said that it was nothing less than a musician's duty to be aware of the work of his/her contemporaries.

 The Volunteer's Collective
The Volunteer's Collective (VC) was initiated in Baltimore in 1989 by "no one in particular." The idea was to form a utopian-minded, open-ended, conceptually generic enfeeble that would take on projects which were outside of the value-system or perceptual/social regimentation of the prevailing culture that required or benefited from a large group.
In principle, anyone could take up this collective banner and use it as a context for their activities or for organizing a large group without restriction, for whatever that was worth.
The largest event associated with The Volunteer's Collective as of the date of this writing is Sound/Shift, a three day monumental marathon made up of three 12-hour free-improvised pieces of music with a revolving door ensemble including over 50 musicians from North America.

A musician, scholar, visual artist and author, Masami Akita's (Merzbow) prodigious output has included hundreds of hours of music, dozens of striking collages and computer-generated artworks as well as numerous books on subjects ranging from the history of bondage to fetish culture in contemporary Japan.
In the first ever biography of this enigmatic, provocative and exceptional talent, Akita's artistic roots are traced from his art school beginnings and early dabbling with the underground rock and free jazz of the 70s, through to the fascinating and compelling experimentation of his music at the turn of the millennium.
This unique collection comes with an attractive and profusely illustrated 144-page book with many previously unpublished photographs of Gurdjieff and recollections of people who were present when these recordings were made.

We are used to prismatic visual images of London: Tourist London (the Tower, red buses and Big Ben); Hidden London (lost rivers and forgotten tube stations, fl swine in the sewers of Hampstead); Historic London, with its palaces, churches, museums.
But beyond the Londons of word and image lie still other Londons, the Londons of the senses, less familiar, but just as evocative, and it is one of these that Peter Cusak explores.
To anyone who is familiar with London, especially those in exile, this is a curiously intimate meditation which brings ones memories of the metropolis to fond life.

However, musicians ought not to tailor their music to suit the naive sensibilities of a new listener.
If, for example, a musician begins to feel unwanted or feels that others are not making a reasonable contribution, that there is some kind of a battle going on for dominance of whatever kind, then obviously the collective has broken down.
Mostly the musician is negotiating with the sound sources and the other musicians in the ensemble to make something meaningful in the time they have together for performance.

Swinging London is a catchall term applied to a variety of dynamic cultural trends in Britain (centred in London, as the primate city) in the 1960s.

 High Zero 2001: The Musicians
Peter Kowald is one of the most original voices on his instrument, a crucial improvisor in the European free music scene since the early sixties, and a generally inspiring spirit to boot.
He has worked on the same piece of music for over three years, revising its emotional content, adapting it for a wide variety of venues and collaborations, and incoporating new strategies for "making it bloom." You'll be glad to hear that lately the original material (from three years ago) has finally been sloughed off.
This is his third year in the High Zero festival, a festival which was in many ways inspired by the extremity of his musical vision and his generosity of spirit towards the greater community of players.

But Resonance is resolutely higher tech: On Sundays, the Wireless Soundscape collective, exploiting the tech-savvy metropolis's myriad wi-fi nodes, beams the sounds of intersections around the city to radio listeners, mapping a sonic portrait of London.
More than a collection of individual shows, Resonance as a whole is a loosely structured laboratory for artists of all kinds to reimagine what radio can be and the different ways sound can inhabit radio space.
At any time, musicians passing through the city--or the neighborhood--might stop by unannounced for an impromptu live set, a welcome disruption to the day's programming that feeds the spirit of spontaneity the station treasures.
