mtl2012_episode4 was played, in part, today on the Friday Morning After. Very exciting. Getting motivated to produce #5. Hearing it in between contempory reports, and hosts explanations of whats' going on, assuring listeners that it is indeed a fictional vision of Montreal in 2012... very interesting.
An excerpt from Tims' comments on the recording:
"This is serious shit to explore, I wouldnt want to trivialize it. The concept for the radio drama is good: a post-collapse radio show interviewing characters in a post collapse world. If you tuned into it by accident, it would definitely catch your attention."
And from Colin:
"I think that it was a great excercise and learning experience about the power of radio. To make that same drama on film would have taken a lot of time and money to produce something so simple."
Radio is more popular world-wide than internet and television because it does not induce mental and physical stupification. You can do other things while you listen to radio, and imagination replaces the jolt-brain-damage so prevelent in commercial television. Instead of adverts for non-sensical products, we hear an announcement about Arts' Birthday, to be celebrated with a special five-hour broadcast on 17 January.
mmmmm...
radio.
