Frequencies has become a benchmark in the exploration of popular and
folk music from parts of Africa, the Middle East and Asia. Deliberately
avoiding traditional ethnomusicology and academic approaches, they never
lose sight of their mission to rescue music and sounds that would
otherwise very likely be destined to be forgotten. They work with a
highly varied repertoire that ranges from regional radio broadcasts to
field recordings, folk compilations and pop and documentary video/film.<br><br><b>1) Music selection: INTERRUPTIONS #10. Radio Maghreb, curated by Alan Bishop</b><br><br>In this project Alan Bishop vindicates the use of radio as an electronic instrument in a journey through time and space that unearths old recordings from the AM and FM airwaves made during his first trip to Spain and Morocco in 1983.<br>
