Summary: One of 6 hour-long programs on the art and craft of radio with host Jay Allison, creator of the website Transom.org. This hour focuses on experimenting with sound with guest Benjamen Walker.
Like a seventh grader trying to pump up a term paper, "The Transom Radio Hour - Experimenting With Sound" suggests it's going to be a serious investigation into the potential of unconventional radio. Fortunately, education is quickly dropped in favor of inspiration in the form of interviews and samples of some of the esoteric and exciting media being created by people who have found in the affordable, hand-crafted world of audio a place to soar on a shoestring; a world where your friends are your production values. It may be preaching to the converted, but suppose this program hits one creative person looking for a new form of expression and tips them over the edge. How cool would that be? Engaging, entertaining, a great sampler.
