Rogue Planets
[Repeated from Thursday 7pm.] The quiet force of unbound rebellion. A telescope platform for cultural slowness, deep listening, anti-profiling and reflective transmissions. Frank Malachi celebrates the work of artists, collectives, producers and academics who forge their orbits through uncharted territories. This week: Frank's guest is Dr John Kannenberg. As Director of the Museum of Portable Sound, Kannenberg’s work reframes sound as something to be collected, curated and critically listened to, an archive of culture carried in the act of hearing itself. He discusses his new book, A Brief History of Sound Recording: Fully Incomplete & Highly Biased, a richly illustrated, deeply researched and deliberately unconventional guide to the history of recorded sound. Emerging from a decade of work at MOPS, the book moves through recordings, artefacts and listening essays to offer a personal, provocative map of how sound has been captured, shaped and understood. Frank telescopes into the resonances between archive, recording and the poetics of listening. Visit Instagram @rogueplanets_fm104.4.
