After a radio broadcast malfunction, a man is left alone in the studio to break the bad news: “There’s nothing on this side, and I am not saying anything”. Nothing on This Side is a radio piece/sound collage created for WFMU‘s Optimized! online stream curated by Vicki Bennett exploring the theme of optimism.
All the shows are now archived at wfmu.org/playlists/UP, including live performances by Mr. Let’s Paint (John Kilduff).
This piece was also featured on Long Live the New Sound podcast and Radiophrenia, a two-week exploration into current sound and transmission arts trends at Glasgow’s Centre for Contemporary Arts, UK.
