Sound Propositions is an ongoing, semi-regular series of conversations with artists exploring their creative practices and individual aesthetics, conceived of as a counter-narrative to a dominant trend in music journalism which fetishizes equipment and new technologies. Rather than writing copy that can just as easily have come from a press release or a catalog, this series tries to take the emphasis away from the ‘what’ and shine light on the ‘how’ and ‘why.’ You can find the previous nine interviews, as well as additional articles and features, here.

magz hall's avatarMagz Hall

We’re happy to return to the second part of our interview with radio scholar and radio artist Magz Hall. In the first part of the interview, Hall detailed the many ways in which we can understand radio, in both a contemporary and historical context, through the lens of radio art. She introduced us to a number of fascinating projects that she has been involved with and discussed the connection between her practice and community radio broadcasting.

In this second half, Hall picks up on these themes and takes us into the future by explaining how she imagines alternative trajectories for FM broadcasting. She ends our interview by pointing to some of the projects she is currently working on, including one which calls attention to the important environmental aspect of radio.

I say people, but it’s probably better to say her real name; Furchick! She is a music and sound maker of the experimental order, making sounds in particular ways with a ton of creativity and a bucket full of ‘don’t give a fucks’. Well I’m not so sure about Furchick not giving fucks, but that’s why we have arranged this interview… To get to know a bit of the real Furchick, or simply just have a nice conversation going on.. If that’s possible between all the dogs running and barking that is……
