A live, improvised sound collage experiment, going back 28 years, weaving mesmerizing new soundscapes from found and collected materials right in the present moment.
Pop music, speeches, live phone calls and spontaneous monologues become ambient loopy layered threads riding the liminal spaces between waking and dreaming. [On hiatus.]

Quiet American | Backwaters | One-Minute Vacations | 2002 | MP3 | The backwaters of Kerala, southern India. My wife and I chartered a houseboat and drifted for a few days along quiet canals; this MP3 captures a moment of evening rain from our bamboo roofed bedroom: rain on the river, crickets softly singing, the voices of our small crew. In the first few seconds, a frog plashes past. This moment was isolated for 60" somewhere, a project by Ven Voisey. quietamerican.org | * *** | 0:14:30 (MP3 | Pop-up) |

Mirko Uhlig | 9 A.M. Rain | One-Minute Vacations | 2004 | MP3 | I recorded it today [September, 2004] at nine o'clock in the morning. It's such a fast turn of the tides, from orange to grey. Location: Wesel, Germany near the Dutch border. Made with a Samson C01 Studio Condenser Mic, held out of the window of my working room around nine. mirkouhlig.com | * *** | 1:38:21 (MP3 | Pop-up) |

Jay Thomas | Mission Wind | One-Minute Vacations | 2004 | MP3 | This was recorded on an unusually windy night in a narrow passageway connecting the back of my apartment building to the street. Blasts of wind caused a wooden door to creak while rattling a paper sign. One particularly strong gust carries the faint sound of a wind chime and a barking dog. Toward the end of the recording a neighbor starts his truck, breaking the solitude... Recorded around 10 p.m., May 4, 2004, in the Mission District of San Francisco on a Sony MZ-R50 minidisc recorder with a set of Core Sound's Low-Cost Binaural microphones. | * *** | 1:44:54 (MP3 | Pop-up) |

Have to listen to KTJU to hear the show - it's just the regular Drummer Stream on GTDR m3u url.

I've found the most stable option is to listen to WTJU (which is what I meant to type, not KTJU - I'm West of the Mississippi so I resorted to putting a K on the call letters).
