Happy & healthy 2012! We (Boukor & Jeroen) start off this year with, as can be read in the blog post subject, “Unusual musical instruments”. A bit strange for Edge to call something “unusual”, but when many of the recordings of obscure instruments are limited to lofi recordings – this indicates they are not yet […]

After a silent messy start (technological probs) – with a track of Roxette as a filler – the traditional Christmas-themed Edge show with Boukor and remote Jeroen finally started off with Corporal Blossom’s remix of I’m dreaming of a white xmas. Lustmord then presented a rather grim Christmas track, with warfare continuing during the celebration […]

While we generally in Freeform also present rather contrasty music choices we (Jeroen and Boukor) selected particularly contrasty ones in this “Extreme contrasts” episode. It’s something that in “normal” radio programming is often absent as is disrupts the gradual flow of fresh and stale pop tunes. In such shows/broadcasts DJ personalities are the ones who […]

As the weather outside became wet, cold and windy – as it should be this time of the year – inside the studio of OogRadio some eclectic sounds were selected by Boukor. Freeform to the extreme, with tracks ranging from psychedelic soundscapes (Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa) to Russian electrorock (Алиса), atmospheric gabber (Neophyte vs The […]

Edge on repeat, yet again, by continuing, prolonging the mantra theme..Boukor in Groningen & remote Jeroen in Leeuwarden continued their search for mantras and found more 70s psychedelic krautrock (Popol Vuh, Zweistein) and 00s electronica (John benj). Then the black metal of Liturgy was mixed live with Terry Riley’s minimalist chance music, a nice combination […]

A submission recorded by Arthur Elsenaar of Maksim Katsnelsona, a street musician playing in Central Park NYC, inspired us (Boukor & Jeroen) to follow up with some more mantric tracks. Accordeon (Pauline Oliveros) and guitar (Sunn O)))) drones, repetition of the word f### (Osho), (abbreviated radio edits of) the inevitable trance-inducing Indian sitar in traditional […]

This evening remote Jeroen and local Boukor decided it was time for another freeform edition of Edge. This meant we could give the floor to anything recorded, without having to find some link with a theme: we filled the ether with less and more obscure gems we found during our meticulous sonic searches, most of […]

This week a pre-recorded edition of Edge with Boukor presenting some long classic experimental pieces, too long for an ordinary show. But as this is a home studio created episode such limitations are not in order. By passing the mic to the studio we conclude hereby the mic theme! Playlist: Alvin Lucier – I am […]

Again we (local Boukor&remote Jeroen) pass the radio mic to mic-recordings, with this time quite a lot of short experimental works (mic reverberations, glitch (Richard Devine)), folky (rail road) songs (Henry Grady Terrell, Mississippi Fred McDowell, Mainer Band), blues field recording (Ralph Sheckel) and some beatboxing (Beardyman) & hip-hop (Eric B. & Rakim & Bo […]

The mic mike microphone was invented in 1877. Since then sounds have been converted into electric signals, an essential element for making radio and recording sound. This week’s Edge radio episode offers a broad view on this topic: microphone experimentation with mixers/pedals (EBL), “ancient” preserved voice/music recordings, the insertion of a mic in your mouth […]

Edge is in a cryogenic state and awaits to come back alive.
