Magical Mystery Tour
A trip around the sands
Another live show...
Another special live show from Free Range.
The first live special was such a success that we decided to do it again, and it was also a helpful vehicle for my PhD study into feature documentary-making.
This episode might be the funniest and most touching yet. It's certainly the most sweary.
Once again the programme's interviews were prerecorded and loaded into a sequencer to be played out live for the audience while improvising musicians interpreted the spoken word material for the audience in real time. They hadn't heard the material before and had no idea about the various subject matters touched upon.
This time we also had Adem Hilmi as the Radio Operator. Adem is undertaking a PhD in radiophonic sound - the hisses, crackles and noise that are the stuff of radio. His software R.E.D. enables him to generate and manipulate these sounds on command and in this episode every instance of radiosound is his creation with his device, live before the audience.
Featuring a special appearance by Milo the dachshund in the introduction.
