Soup Radio Closure

2011-07-31T16:09:00.028+01:00

Dear friends and supporters,

After a lot of consideration the decision has been made to bring Soup Radio to a close. Our final broadcast will be on September 3rd 2011.

Soup Radio was born out of the demise of Brooklyn is Watching, and also the frustration I encountered being involved with ArtNation and trying my very best to get that project off the ground in the face of some vocal opposition. I felt that instead of endlessly discussing and debating what might or might not happen the solution was to just do something myself and make it a reality. I was determined to stick to what was promised when we started out, which was to deliver a schedule people could rely on every month, over time building up a quality archive of shows, and contributing to the ongoing dialogue relating to Second Life art.

When this project ends it will be one year old, spanning 38 individual episodes and totalling around 50 hours of content. Ultimately, I think it's wise to end a project while it is still alive and kicking, and if we were to go beyond a year we might start struggling to fulfil our promises. I was saddened at how Jay Van Buren's brilliant and important Brooklyn is Watching project deteriorated, in hindsight it should have ended at the one year mark (Jay's original goal), but it dragged on, the podcasts were released infrequently, and overall it lost focus and became confusing.

Everything we have achieved with Soup Radio has been made possible with the invaluable help and contributions from my co-hosts; Amy Freelunch, Penumbra Carter, Raul Crimson, Allan Stanley Taylor and Jane Vippond. All the great guests and contributors who gave up their time and provided us with such a lot to talk about; Bryan Campen, Chantal Harvey, Dekka Raymaker, Honour McMillan, Elros Tuominen, Jeff Edwards, Khamudy Mannonen, Misprint Thursday, Nebulosus Severine, SaveMe Oh, Selavy Oh, and Treat Kanto. Our generous sponsors who have encouraged and supported us throughout and helped us reach a wider audience; Mab MacMoragh (Soup), Nazz Lane (Lane's List), and Roxelo Babenco (Museo del Metaverso). And of course our listeners; we know you're out there!

We're not quite finished yet though, our new shows are released on Saturday August 6th (details soon) and our final broadcast will be on October 1st 2011.

All the previous episodes are available for download in iTunes.

Thanks for listening!

Soup Radio at SL8B

2011-06-11T14:37:00.015+01:00

The Second Life 8th Birthday (SL8B) takes place from June 20-26th 2011, and Soup Radio is taking part in the celebrations.

We're using it as an opportunity to introduce the station to new listeners and explain what we're all about, and with that in mind we're working on creating a space where visitors can relax, listen to the current schedule, and browse information. We're located in the Spellbound sim, do drop in if you're in the area. Teleport here.

Also, our July schedule is going to be a SL8B special, we'll be touring the sims, talking about our discoveries, including the good, the bad, the ugly, and our conclusions on the event. If you have a plot there do send us a landmark and we'll definitely check it out for possible inclusion.

With thanks to Raul Crimson, Penumbra Carter, Dekka Raymaker and Nebulosus Severine for their contributions and help with the build.

2011-04-08T02:41:00.018+01:00

As a late addition to my current April show where I talk about the Virtual Diversity contest on Koinup, I thought it would be a good opportunity to invite Khamudy Mannonen to discuss a selection of his Second Life avatar photographs. We talk about his creative process and influences, the culture surrounding SL photography, and his disappointing visit to the Rinascimento Virtual exhibition in Florence.

(Duration 49 mins)

Rather than edit the conversation into my existing show I'm releasing it as a stand-alone episode. You can listen now on the live server, iTunes or Podtrac.

April 2011 Show Notes

2011-04-02T00:46:00.051+01:00

This month we welcome Raul Crimson as a new host on Soup Radio. Raul writes about the diverse Second Life community on his blog A Crimson World.

Amy Freelunch's show includes a sound collage featuring, among other sources, Todd Haynes' underground film, Superstar. Filmed while the director was still a student, Superstar captures the life and death (by eating disorder) of singer Karen Carpenter, portrayed by a cast of Barbie dolls, mixed in with other sound sources from video/performance art, fringe culture, and B-Movies. The result is a spooky, surreal, and occasionally funny slice of American life.

(Duration 62 mins)
WARNING: Explicit content. Listener discretion advised.

Arahan Claveau reveals details about his upcoming shows over the next few months, including; the return of Jane Vippond and Allan Stanley Taylor in May, an extensive conversation with key members of the Avatar Orchestra Metaverse in June, and an interview with artist Jeremy Owen Turner in July. Also mentioned are the activities of the Second Life Left Unity group and its various off-shoots, and the Koinup Virtual Diversity contest. After the introduction Arahan plays a new experimental soundtrack recorded for this month's show.

(Duration 88 mins)

Raul Crimson interviews artist Elros Tuominen about what Second Life means to him personally and as a creator. Part of the interview, conducted in Spanish, is related to how language in SL can be a barrier, but also an effective way to learn and practice different languages. Elros also comments on how much avatars represent the person behind the keyboard, and at the same time can evolve into independent personalities causing a loss of identity.

(Duration 62 mins)

Due to technical issues Penumbra Carter's show is cancelled this month.

February 2011 Schedule

2011-02-04T02:44:00.027Z

Our new schedule begins on Saturday, February 5th 2011

(12pm PDT, 3pm EDT, 8pm GMT).

Amy Freelunch talked to Bryan Campen last month about the future of the art world online; this month she will be recapping on the flurry of activity that took place in January, including discussing new social networking sites specifically for artists and the launch of the first-ever all-online art fair. All this, and a very special message from the NYC Rescue Mission.

Arahan Claveau welcomes back previous guests Allan Stanley Taylor and Jane Vippond who return for the second of their regular visits. The group investigate some of the more extreme and unusual destinations located within the Adult grid in Second Life, provoking a wider discussion of issues such as the evolving nature of identity, relationships and sexual ethics in cyberspace.
WARNING: Explicit content. Listener discretion advised.

Penumbra Carter begins an ongoing exploration into censorship within the Second Life art community. In this show artist SaveMe Oh responds to her motivations for being in SL, including how she sees the medium as being corrupted by a limited real-world mind-set that often fails to exploit the new technology at our fingertips. Penumbra expands on these topics and reviews a selection of SaveMe Oh's work.

Khamudy Mannonen discusses with Arahan the demise of virtual world Bluemars and the developers surprising move over to the Macintosh platform, the Second Life web-based profile beta and the preoccupation with "gateway dressing" by Linden Lab, rounding off with the recently released fourth-quarter statistics.

Full show notes and tracklisting to follow soon.

Thanks for listening!

2011-01-02T00:05:00.046Z

Arahan and Khamudy discuss what 2011 has in store for Second Life, the ongoing difficulties of funding for virtual arts and humanities projects, the arrival of Rod Humble from Electronic Arts as the new CEO of Second Life, the teen-grid merger, the end of licensed Frank Lloyd Wright content in SL, and the amusing developments of Xbox Kinect hacks.

Amy Freelunch talks about the real-life art market and ways for artists to use the internet and crowd-sourcing to support their work. She also mentions a few different art sites and what works about them and what doesn't. Amy is joined this month by Bryan Campen.

Penumbra Carter is joined by guest Chantal Harvey. Chantal talks about her past, present and future machinima and the role music has played in production, the 48 Hour Film Project and Chantal's participation within the Linden Endowment for the Arts (LEA).

Arahan announces plans for the upcoming Opensim show, the return of Allan Stanley Taylor and Jane Vippond as regular guests, his enthusiastic response to Zeitgeist at Odyssey, the new iTunes archive, and details of all the venues to hear Soup Radio in Second Life and beyond.

Khamudy and Arahan discuss the ongoing beta of a browser based client from Linden Lab, the launch of open source MMO platform 'Kataspace' that plugs directly into websites, and the potential uses of hacked Microsoft Kinnect motion detecting hardware in Second Life. Raul Crimson joins the conversation and talks about his experiences with the current mesh import viewer and the use of shadows and dynamic lighting.

"Soup Radio: 24/7 Station for Second Life Art, Eclectic Music"

2010-11-18T03:14:00.012Z

"Soup Radio is a new 24/7 radio stream produced by SL art stalwarts Amy Freelunch, Arahan Claveau, Penumbra Carter, and Khamudy Mannonen, who offer their chatty opinions about the state of metaverse art, interspersed with selected music tracks, which is of course a cool and eclectic mix -- Talking Heads, Ministry, Ornette Coleman, Throbbing Gristle, and so on. (Would love to see more SL musicians up in there!) The direct stream link is here, or you can stream the show from your Second Life land by putting this URL in your parcel action: http://87.117.202.31:8206."

Thanks to Wagner James Au from New World Notes for this mention, and to Nebulosus for her really supportive comment on the blog post.

You can now also hear Soup Radio at Lane's List in Second Life and Museo del Metaverso in the Opensim world Craft. Thank you Nazz and Roxelo!
