THEFT at KSDT

2010-02-19T12:29:00.000-08:00

Recently, there was a break-in at KSDT (literally) and stole many of our equipment at the radio station. The station is currently closed as the police are undergoing their investigation. Here is the email that the general manager at KSDT, Meredith Wong, sent out:

Two incidences of theft have occurred at the station in the last 24 hours. During the daytime on Tuesday, 2/16 around 3pm a macbook pro was taken from the lobby. The laptop is silver with no stickers on it. It belongs to Cairie Riney and probably still has all of her documents and projects on it.
Later, between 2-8am this morning (2/17), the back door was smashed in and equipment was taken from the DJ booth. If you have any information about either of these incidences, please let us know. The UCSD campus police are investigating at the moment and we are taking appropriate measures. The station is closed and shows are canceled until Monday. Thank you for your support and for being part of KSDT.

Hopefully this issue will get resolved quickly. Stay tuned.

Introducing the new NO WAVE NO DIEGO RESIDENT ARTIST: Friedmund Konrad

Roughly every season, we will select a local musician/artist/composer in the greater San Diego area as the "Resident Artist." To kick-off this new feature, we have selected the ever-secretive composer/pianist Friedmund Konrad. Very little is known about F. Konrad, except his interest in turn of the century post romantic/tonal Germanic works.

For No Wave No Diego, he has provided a specific piece for us to enjoy. You can download his work by clicking here.

NO WAVE NO DIEGO: January 15th, 2010: A Look at the "Tristan chord"

2010-01-22T12:47:00.000-08:00

On today's show we examined one of the most famous chords in music.
Richard Wagner's "Tristan chord", which is found in the prelude to and
throughout his opera "Tristan und Isolde", is Wagner's most renowned
contribution to the history of music and Western music's most noted
example of unresolved dissonance. "Tristan und Isolde" has the
reputation of being the seminal work in the emancipation of harmony
from the Classical tonal system. We also played Paul Lansky's "Mild
und Liese", who uses the chord and messes around with it in the piece.
For more analysis check out the wiki page devoted to it.

No Wave No Diego Policy Changes!! And! Introducing FALD!

2009-07-03T16:35:00.000-07:00

Attention! Attention! This just in!!

We here at the No Wave No Diego headquarters have reached a new policy which we will initiate immediately, by executive decree! If you have been following our programme, then you know that every week we focused on a specific theme in music(this very blog is a testament to that). But, if you listened really closely (or maybe from a distant), then you would have noticed that we tend to focus on "new" (AKA "extreme" AKA "experimental" AKA "avant garde", etc) music a great deal of the time. And, occasionally, we would also play music that is very accessible, commercial, and fun.

Thus, the plan is to split the show in TWO, like a schism. The first hour of show will be "pop" music oriented (we loosely define pop as anything that is "tonal"). That show, dubbed "fuck art, let's dance!", will be hosted on http://faldksdt.blogspot.com/.

As for No Wave No Diego, we will continue doing shows but we will now focus solely on "new" music. Hopefully this way it will make everyone happy!!!

woohoo!

Shoot away any questions, whatever!

Merci,

HR of No Wave No Diego

KSDT updates

2009-05-22T11:58:00.000-07:00

Just an update on what's been happening these past couple of weeks:

KSDT's site went down and we lost the electroacoustic show that we did (le sigh).

Last week KSDT had a little festival dubbed Shun God with tons of pretty good bands (obviously I'm biased towards my own duo M&M Blues)

Also, check out the upcomming show:

NO WAVE

2009-05-01T13:14:00.001-07:00

No Wave History:

1. Rock music becomes trendy because people think it sounds original and anti-establishment, though it is essentially tonal music with 4 chords.

2. Rock music becomes cliche and instead punk music becomes trendy because people think it sounds original and anti-establishment, though it is essentially tonal music with 4 chords.

3. Note bands like Ramones, Sex Pistols, Black Flag, the Clash, etc. are not too different from the Who, The Doors, Led Zeppelin, etc. (minus poor musicianship)

4. No Wave is the only genuine anti-art movement in this tradition.

Turntablism! Most equate turntablism with hip hop, dance clubs and cheesy beats. On our show we took an art music approach at turntablism. Indeed, music featured show the turntable as a serious art instrument with loads of potential and exploration.

Post Rock

2009-03-06T13:37:00.001-08:00

Ah, post rock. Just what does that mean? It was a lot trendier in the 90's to listen to this stuff, but with bands like Signal Hill and El Ten Eleven (not to mention giants like The Battles), post rock is making a slow revival. Woo hoo. Tune in to get a little feel.

2009-01-22T01:17:00.000-08:00

Had a few concerts (Battlehooch played a sick set, interviewed thee Oh Sees, and M&M Blues revolutionized the world, etc. etc.), a few avant-garde performances (Post-Thanksgiving free improv, performance of Cage's 4'33'', etc. etc.) and we played one horrible drone piece (yuck!).

Anyways, thank you for listening and your kind words about our show. Keeping this blog updated is tough stuff but we will try our best to keep going! More great shows coming up in 2009.

....drone....

2008-09-28T19:21:00.001-07:00

Our drone show at the very includes a performance of an improvisation performed by the DJs. It is perhaps one of the worst drone pieces. It is a very good example of how not to make a drone piece. We also learn that drone is a lot harder than one thinks.

Twee Pop

2008-09-26T14:49:00.000-07:00

FREE JAZZ

2008-08-08T18:55:00.001-07:00

Ah, free jazz: the last great adventure in jazz history that is still vibrant and exciting for today. We played some classics, some not- so-classics, but everything here avoids traditional jazz notions of tonality structure.

Featuring the likes of: Orenette Coleman, Matthew Shipp, Derek Bailey, Peter Brotzmann, John Coltrane, Cecil Taylor, Albert Ayler, Otomo Yoshihide, and more.

Music for Film

2008-07-04T17:46:00.000-07:00

In this episode we focused on compositions written for film. These pieces can stand by themselves, but were intended to be play with a cinematic work.

We can't access the play list at the moment, so it is a mystery! You'll have to figure it out on your own.

Second Viennese School

2008-04-18T20:01:00.000-07:00

The Second Viennese School consisted mainly of three composers: Alban Berg, Arnold Schoenberg, and Anton Webern. Schoenberg formally broke down tonality in the Western music and it hasn't been the same since. Thus there are people who find the works of these composers inaccessible (some even call it "not real music"). We think it's great. While tonal music is ultimately predictable, atonal music is always fresh and full of surprises. Here we played some tonal and atonal pieces by these great three.

1. "5 orchestral pieces" - Arnold Schoenberg

2. "Sonata, Op. 1" - Alban Berg

3. "Slow Movement for String Quartet" - Anton Webern

4. "5 Movements for String Quartet" - Anton Webern

5. "Suite for Piano, Op. 25" - Arnold Schoenberg

6. "Piano Quintet" - Anton Webern

7. "5 Lieder on poems, Op. 4" - Anton Webern

8. "5 Movements, Op. 5" - Anton Webern

9. "5 Pieces for Orchestra" - Anton Webern

Japanoise

2008-04-08T20:16:00.000-07:00

Japanoise: whatever extreme ridiculous noise music you heard, Japan out does it. Too bad most of these guys are not appreciated in their own country as much.

1. "This Is" - Fushitsusha

2. "Go To the Other Side" - C.C.C.C.

3. "Area 877" - Melt Banana

4. "Those Unmanageable Multiple Personalities We Have Been Made To Possess, We Try To Brainwash Ourselves That Their Uses Are Many B" - Knead

5. "Super You" - Boredoms

7. "Just Abandoned My-Self" - Boris with Merzbow

8. "I Did Are" - Afrirampo

9. "Op. 1 (For 9 Strings): II" - Ryoji Ikeda

French Pop

2008-03-08T16:13:00.001-08:00

This week we considered French Pop, perhaps the polar opposite of the krautrock. It's great stuff though; simple, catchy, romantic, all the good mushy stuff. Too bad though, because the server got screwed somehow and didn't record the show. Well, here is a play list of what we played. Although No Wave No Diego usually plays music that is on the "cutting edge," we still think a simple good pop melody goes a long way.

1. "Boum!" - Charles Trenet 2. "Alice" - Chat3. "La derive" - Chat4. "Petit con" - Chat 5. "Je te vois" - Chat 6. "Melody" - Serge Gainsbourg 7. "Gloria" - Coralie Clement 8. "Mai 40" - Jacques Brel 9. "Cybele's Reverie" - Stereolab 10."Percolator" - Stereolab 11."Slogan" - Blonde Redhead 12."Faut-il Que Je T'Aime" - France Gall 13."Musique Automatique" - Stereo Total 14."Doigts" - Francoise Hardy 15."Le Forme et le fond" - Keren Ann 16."Paris Combo" - Fibre de Verre 17."Marilou Sous la Neige" - Serge Gainsbourg 18."Si la Photo Est" - Bonne Barbara 19."Cet Air La" - France Gall 20."C'est Pas Faciled'etre une Fille" - France Gall21."La Polka du Roi" - Charles Trenet 22."Des Ronds Dans l'Eau" - Francoise Hardy 23."La Bière" - Jacques Brel 24."Les Bonbons" - Jacques Brel 25."Miss Rebellion des Hormones" - Stereo Total 26."Ballade de Melody Nelson" - Serge Gainsbourg 27."L'illusionniste" - Karen Ann 28."La Vie en Rose" - Edith Piaf

Krautrock

2008-02-17T23:52:00.000-08:00

A (snotty) BBC crictic once said, "there are two kinds of aesthetics: a German and a French." This week we considered the "German" approach towards rock/pop music. Essentially, Krautrock combines the rigor of German avant-garde (many Krautrock musicians were trained under the like of Stockhausen) with the free spirit of American/British rock and roll. We here at No Wave No Diego think Krautrock rocks and is a force to be reckoned with. Oy vey!

1. "Why Don't You Eat Carrots" - Faust
2. "Dead Voices in the Temple of Error" - Von Spar

We'll have another post where you can download their live performance (but it is included in this mp3 file as well) as well as the setlist, hopefully. We tried playing music that is loosly similar to Battlehooch's music. I dunno, you be the judge of that! It was hard nailing these guys down to a set genre!

Above: the DJ's discussing the nature of free form improvisation in the context of streaming digital media.

We were faced with many technical difficulties during our Thanksgiving show covering "post-tonal" music. As a result, we decided to improvise a piece with whatever the station had to offer, namely two microphones and a bass drum with some sharpies. We promise to upload the "post-tonal" music soon, but until then here is something to keep you happy:
