Congrats, very cool.
I see that you have not only radio material in the mp3, how do you
generate the other audio? Is it related to streamed silences?
BTW, I was thinking about something like that while reading about
(still not read it directly) Böll's Doktor Murkes gesammeltes
Schweigen (Dr. Murke's Collected Silence, 1958).
Have you been inspired by that novel?

Radio Fragments is a radiophonic project that aims to explore an
auditory attention, different from the one usually
associated with the experience of listening to the radio, making use
of the spaces-in-between-words-and-songs that occur throughout the
radiophonic discourse as its main reagent.
Its basic formula consists of an analysis-control mechanism (built in
Super Collider) residing inside a computer to which a real-time
mainstream radio broadcast is fed. This mechanism acts as a
reversed-noise-gate, singling out what is usually ignored or avoided
in a radiophonic
context (whispers, stumbles, pauses, dead spaces and errors) and
muting all the other sounds such as words or songs. These punctuating
fragments become the raw materials from which Radio Fragments' sonic
concoction is brewed.

André Castro (b.1983) is a sound artist from Lisbon, graduated in
Sonic Arts at
Middlesex University(U.K). Andrés practice has been shifting between
two different universes. On the one hand, the computer music world,
with its meditative textures, harsh noisy sounds, blips, and
experiments with costume-built software in SuperCollider. On the
other hand, a phonographic activity, in which he goes
out with a microphone trying to capture the incredible aural
diversity of our world and the voices and stories that hide in each
person. Most of Andréââ?¬â?¢s work has in common the evasion of
visual elements, an acousmatic sound that aims to subvert the
dominance of the vision over the other senses. In recent years he has
nourished a growing interest for the radiophonic medium, which has
become a fruitful source of inspiration and for which he has been
creating pieces since the last 3 years.
A significant part of his practice has been developed through
collaborations with other artists, such as the ongoing improvised
music duo with Martin Aaserud.
