Apocalypso: The Cosmic War Dance of  Sun Ra's Army
of Athropodial Transistors.

Peter Dennett, (UK), Darius James (USA/DE), Karl Heinz Jeron (DE)

When the composer and mystic, Sun Ra, returned to his native Saturn on
May 30th, 1993, he left behind a vast and varied body of recorded
musical works.  Up until now, much of this music has been unavailable
to the public.  But, through a series of séances conducted in the
studios of Radio 1:1, Mister Re informed us that on Sunday, July 30th,
2006, between the hours of 4-6 pm, he will be returning to this planet
in astral form with a special message for the people of earth. And he
will not be alone.  He will be accompanied by his army of Athroploidal
Transistors:

"We are going to invade Berlin!!!" he chuckled, "This is declaration
of war!  Kreig, baby! Our first target is the TV Tower in Alexanderplatz!
My weapons?!! Two full hours of sonic assault—or acoustical magic--taken
from my vast library of unreleased recordings.  I and my Transistors will
dance the cosmic dance.  The cosmic WAR dance.  It's the Apocalypso!

Radio Vehicles:
The working environment of the radio vehicles is the urban public
space. Radio vehicles is an ephemeral urban intervention aiming to
usurp urban space artistically. Twenty vehicles created from the
simplest and most affordable technical equipment will be let free into
the wild. The swarm moves awkwardly while emitting sound into the
public space.
