Paik is known for his association with shamanism, a practice that consistently surfaces in his works. With a portable radio in hand, Onda communicates with his spirit long-distance, collecting field recordings of cryptic broadcasts/messages on anonymous radio stations. The series of séances, conducted in different cities across the globe, began in Seoul in 2010 and continued in Cologne, Germany, in 2012, Wrocław, Poland, in 2013, and Lewisburg, United States, in 2014. Recorded by Aki Onda with a portable radio, 2010–14		*	1:30:26 (Pop-up)
Rudolf Eb.er	Ishikiri   → "Ishikiri" by "Rudolf Eb.er"	Om Kult : Ritual Practice Of Conscious Dying - Vol. II	Om Kult	2018		AKA Runzelstirn & Gurgelstøck, Conscious Dying, Wash Your Brains / Eb.er founded the SCHIMPFLUCH extreme-artists-collective in Zürich in 1987. The work created under the name 5chimpfluch deals with therapeutic and analytical actions and reactions of the psyche, the body, and of senses and realities (of both the performers and the audiences), in a radical, critical but also liberating way - an attack on the mind as well as a stimulation of the senses.			1:38:01 (Pop-up)
Stephen Vitiello	Brood IX (excerpt)   → "Brood IX (excerpt)" by "Stephen Vitiello"	Brood IX	Room40	2020		from the artist: These recordings were made at the foot of Peters Mountain in Monroe County, West Virginia in June of 2020. It was a rare moment of escape, during the pandemic. 17-year cicadas (this group, classified as Brood IX) emerge from the ground in late May and create a sonic wash that resonates from the trees and mountain. These cicadas then fade out by early July not to be seen or heard in this location for another 17 years. Even while recording, they’d drop from above, landing on the mic, on our shoulders and anything else and hold on for a final buzz and momentary flight before dying.		*	1:43:02 (Pop-up)

Oui Ennui	(C) Reaching For ID   → "(C) Reaching For ID" by "Oui Ennui"	Democide	Bandcamp	2020		"Democide" is a term proposed by political science professor R. J. Rummel who defined it as "the intentional killing of an unarmed or disarmed person by government agents acting in their authoritative capacity and pursuant to government policy or high command". According to him, this definition covers a wide range of deaths, including forced labor and concentration camp victims; killings by "unofficial" private groups; extrajudicial summary killings; and mass deaths due to governmental acts of criminal omission and neglect. / For more info on the background on this album, go here: https://ouiennui.com/album/democide		*	1:51:58 (Pop-up)

Samm Bennett	Oscillendulum 1   → "Oscillendulum 1" by "Samm Bennett"	Oscillendulum	Room40	2020		from the artist: One fine day in the year 2005 I was on my way to a recording session here in Tokyo, in a part of the city with which I was relatively unfamiliar. Walking from the train station to the studio, I passed a second hand shop, the not-too-fancy type where one never knows what one will find, do one? Such stores are irresistible to me, and at the risk of being perhaps a few minutes late to my session, I popped in to have a quick look around. And there it was: tucked away on a big steel shelf at the back of the cavernous and somewhat dusty store there it sat: a Roland JUNO 60 synthesizer. A legendary piece of gear, and one which I immediately decided to purchase due to the very, *ahem*… reasonable asking price of… 10,000 yen. That’s about a hundred bucks US. The shopkeeper asked if I didn’t also perhaps have an interest in the Casio keyboard just next to the JUNO? “Going for slightly less money, and has 100 preset songs all playable at the touch of a single button!” No thanks, I informed, “perhaps next time”. Now, I’m not a synthesizer player, per se. Drummer, percussionist, singer and songwriter, dabbler in certain idiosyncratic string instruments, avid squeezer of rubber pigs and chickens, yes, all of the above and a little more, but synth player or specialist? No, not at all. Wasn’t sure exactly what I was going to do with this relative- ly heavy and bulky 61-key beast. Truth be told, reselling it at a handsome profit seemed likely. Once I started tinkering with it, though, I fell in love with the very pleasing sounds I began coaxing out of it, and immediately began recording the results. So, back in 2005 I put together these pieces, and I called the project Oscillendulum, a word I coined from the words oscillation and pendulum. Oscillation for, well, what the JUNO does so nicely! And pendulum, like the kind you see in an old grandfather clock. It is the familiar embodiment of repetition, but it too has a ‘softness’ about its steady rhythmic motion: it swings continuously in the air, it brings the pulse, but it never hits anything. Hope you’ll sit back and let these soft polyrhythms, these Oscillendulums, wrap themselves around you. Thanks for listening.		*	1:54:46 (Pop-up)

That's where I got the "Big sky looking down on all the people" line. It started from there."			2:54:01 (Pop-up)
