This Month’s MetaFilter Posts

This month I’ve made quite a few posts at MetaFil­ter, an Amer­i­can web­site where thou­sands of people gather to share links to cool web­sites and shout at each other. Here they are:

The Tone Generation

The Tone Gen­er­a­tion is a radio series by Ian Hel­li­well ‘looking at dif­fer­ent themes or com­posers in the era of ana­logue tape and early syn­the­sizer technology’. The orig­i­nal globe-​trotting series: Great Britain, France, Ger­many, Italy, Hol­land, Scan­di­navia, East­ern Europe, USA, Canada, Rest of World. Bonus pro­grammes: Expo 58, The RCA Syn­the­sizer. All links are to MP3 files, except the first one. Alter­na­tively, you can slurp down the lot in one go by sub­scrib­ing to the pod­cast feed.

Theatre of the New Ear

The­atre of the New Ear. Two radio plays: one by Char­lie Kauf­man, the other by the Coen Broth­ers, recorded live and star­ring Steve Buscemi, John Good­man, Philip Sey­mour Hoff­man and Meryl Streep.

The Coen Brothers’ Saw­bones can be down­loaded from the site linked above, or streamed along with Kaufman’s Hope Leaves the The­atre here. Via Sub­trac­tion.

L’Officiel de la Couture et de la Mode

A com­plete archive of French mag­a­zine L’Officiel de la Mode, from 1921 to 2008. It’s a trea­sure trove for fans of fash­ion, pho­tog­ra­phy, adver­tis­ing and design.

Architecture, Sampled And Remixed

Dion­i­sio González makes pho­tographs of imag­i­nary fave­las, Filip Dujardin makes pho­tographs of imag­i­nary build­ings.

The Demarco Digital Archive

The Demarco Dig­i­tal Archive holds 10,000 images and doc­u­ments gath­ered by Richard Demarco, gal­lerist, Beuys col­lab­o­ra­tor, founder of the Tra­verse the­atre and a key figure on the Scot­tish arts scene since the ’60s.

The Lost Synthesizer Classics of Ursula Bogner

It seems almost incred­i­ble that Ursula Bogner’s musi­cal tal­ents should have remained undis­cov­ered until now.
