Listen Up! Radio Art in the USA

Especially, as we are all aging and many of our colleagues have passed away before the book could finally be published, it is with great pleasure and some sadness that I announce the publication of Listen Up! This collection of artists’ writings on the strange genre of radio art production in the U.S.A., a history that can finally be commemorated and shared with the world. Publication would be a way to posthumously honor the legacy and contributions of Jacki and Helen who were mentors to me personally, and among the visionary leaders in the art of sound made for broadcast radio. Lou Mallozzi and I co-authored of one chapter of the book many years ago (!), reflecting on our personal involvement from here in Chicago, many decades ago. I’m deeply grateful and honored to have been invited by the book’s editors, Regine Beyer and Anne Thurmann-Jajes, to contribute to this lesser known but no less important facet of the history and current production in this field of media art.
