  • Summary

  • These pages host the archives for Thomas Bey-William Bailey's "Anechoic Chamber," a podcast which from 2020-2022 focused on experimental or under-represented forms of creativity, presented in an unfiltered manner and in an "audio documentary" style that diverges from the typical interview format of such shows. As of 2023, this project has been shelved indefinitely, on the basis of both personal issues and lack of response from prospective guests / participants.

    Anechoic Chamber episode 22 - Jean-Jacques Martinod
    Nov 19 2021
    Welcome to the 22nd episode of Anechoic Chamber, once again bringing you unique reportage from the thriving margins of art and culture. Our guest for this edition is Jean-Jacques Martinod, Ecuadorian filmmaker, transmedia artist, archivist, radio DJ, and occasional curator. Martinod’s film work, which is the topic of discussion for this program, fuses together elements of both experimental and documentary filmmaking practice, resulting in a unique audio-visual hybrid that the artist describes as follows: “Cinema as messenger via spontaneous generation and improvisation, at an immanent level, to counteract the society of the spectacle...an invitation to a polysemic experience and potential polyphonies. A cinema of becomings.” This is evident in films such as Before the Deluge, La Bala de Sandoval (or Sandoval’s Bullet), and Datura’s Aubade, the last done in collaboration with Bretta Walker. Taking occasional cues from surrealist and gothic styles of literature, cinematic influences such as Jean Epstein and film peers like Salome Lamas (whose concept of para-fiction informs Martinod’s own evocation of what he calls para-worlds) his work boils down a complex set of reference points into a visceral experience that is strangely accessible while being intellectually challenging. As such, he has screened at international festivals such as the Rotterdam Film Festival, FIDMarseille, Mar del Plata, European Media Arts Festival, 25FPS, and many more, alongside regular appearances in galleries and DIY spaces. So here, with a much more detailed exposition of his creative vision, is Jean Jacques Martinod. ------- backing sounds provided by the artist and TBWB opening music: Colin Andrew Sheffield / James Eck Rippie, "Viola Variations" ------- artist film links on Vimeo (password: monopolio) (password: monopolio) Before the Deluge | 38min https://vimeo.com/343528776 La Bala de Sandoval(Eng.

    Anechoic Chamber Episode 21 - Scanner
    Oct 20 2021
    Welcome listeners to the 21st episode of Anechoic Chamber, once again bringing you unique reportage from the thriving margins of art and culture. Our guest this time is the British sound artist Scanner, known by his human alias Robin Rimbaud. With a staggering number of live actions and recordings to his credit, Scanner’s oft-cited and controversial claim to fame has been his usage of intercepted communications and conversations as the raw material with which to build music dramas with an intense poignancy and personal relevance. This practice is, however, just one point of reference in a large body of work that deals with what the artist has called a “archaeology of loss” documenting the ghosts and all-too-quickly forgotten ephemera of the information age. Scanner’s enthusiasm for such led to the co-formation of the notable record label Ash International, one of the key labels to fuse esoteric or paranormal interests with aesthetic impression from the hard sciences. His own work has been applied to all kinds of installation environments and contexts, and to collaborations with artists from DJ Spooky to Mike Kelley, and has even earned the endorsement of the late Gilles Deleuze. He has created permanent installations in everything from Riga airport to a Paris morgue, has scored the first virtual reality ballet for the Dutch National Ballet, and also scored a piece in Trafalgar Square for 1,000 dancers. With a restlessness that has extended to his private practice of writing a daily diary entry since he was 12 years old, we at Anechoic Chamber are fortunate to steal some rare moments of his free time. all selections provided by Sacnner, from the following releases (mostly) available to stream / download at https://scanner.bandcamp.com/: - "Sound for Spaces" - "Play Along" - "Mass Observation (Expanded)" - "Esprits de Paris (with Mike Kelley)" - "Electronic Garden" - "Reason by Heart, Sleep by Twilight" - also featured Scanner remix of Scorn "Night Tide," from "Ellipsis" remix album additional artist links: www.scannerdot.com Anechoic Chamber Links: host website | www.thomasbeywilliambailey.net donate via Paypal: tbwb@protonmail.com

    Anechoic Chamber episode 20 - Steve Finbow
    Oct 3 2021
    Welcome to episode 20 of Anechoic Chamber, once again bringing you unique reportage from the glowing margins of art and culture. Our guest for this edition is Steve Finbow, author and editor whose works have appeared on imprints such as Infinity Land Press, Zero Books, Repeater Books and Amphetamine Sulfate. Finbow has quietly yet unmistakably become an integral part of the 21st century literary landscape, by taking an ecumenical approach to written material that is equally informed by critical theory and avant-garde art as by the under-documented shadow side of human behaviors and interactions. In a cultural scene which seems to have exhausted its ability to explore the extreme, so-called, Finbow presents a variety of often uncomfortable subject matter in a way that is both forensic and poetic. From his biography of Allen Ginsberg to his exhaustive discussions of, among other things, necrophilia or the role of sickness in creative life, Finbow’s body of work steers clear of expectations and does so in a way that is genuinely informative rather than making this simple act of surprise or shock the primary objective. He has also worked in collaboration with artist Karolina Urbaniak on Death Mort Tod: A European Book of the Dead and has most recently edited Infinity Land Press’ Anthology commemorating the first eight years of that publisher’s activity.
