"The Carnival in the Mirror Marches Into The Sea" - 2011 Ergo Phizmiz radioplay now online at Sonosphere.org

Ergo Phizmiz's 2011 radioplay "The Carnival in the Mirror Marches Into The Sea" is now available to listen online at Sonosphere.org

Commissioned by Marcus Gammel at DeutschlandRadioKultur, the piece combines semi-autobiographical spoken-word with sound-collage and original composition to create an impressionistic journey through memories and dreams of carnivals.

The piece is part of the line of semi-autobiographical "first person" radioplays by Ergo Phizmiz that also includes "The Faust Cycle", "Paul Klee, a Balloon, the Moon, Music and Me", "Disappearing Boxes", "UpsideDownisms", and the forthcoming "Conversations With Birds".

Down By The Stream #2 on Soundart Radio

Ergo Phizmiz and compadre The Travelling Mongoose put on their fishing hats and go for another amiable chat and extended sit Down By The Stream, on Soundart Radio this Thursday 30/04/09, 2pm UK time.

This is the second in an occasional series, in which Ergo & the Mongoose fuse old vinyl, original field-recordings & found-sound, collage-composition, spoken-word, and foley.

The show will be made available as an mp3 download from this blog after the broadcast. Go to Soundart Radio.

For the first of the Down By The Stream shows in mp3, go here.

And for previous experimental mix radio madness with Ergo & the Mongoose you could do worse than listen to the 2007 podcasts of Time Travel Musical Bazaar on WFMU.
