The Carnival in the Mirror Marches Into The Sea - Repeat broadcast on Deutschlandradiokultur

Deutschlandradiokultur are repeat broadcasting Ergo Phizmiz's 2011 30 minute radio-collage work "The Carnival in the Mirror Marches Into The Sea", next to a 20 minute edited version of the 2012 piece "Conversations With Birds". Listen here, at 0.05am (German time) on the morning between 27/28 February.

"The carnival is warming. Costumes rustle, commentators mutter in their microphones, glasses are filled and emptied. As an unheard sound procession on the audience begins overtake. 

Surreal acoustic natures transform into and through each other, pianos squirt their guts, dead carousels come to life, and the audience is increasingly in ecstasy."

"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".
