RADIO IRRTUM! (on air from Berlin)

↓↓↓ Deutsch Version below unten ↓↓↓

Da next issue of #RadioIrrtum! will arrive this Saturday, 2025/04/12, 8:00pm UTC+2/Berlin time. At Alex Berlin FM at 91MHz or DAB+ K7D around #Berlin and worldwide at https://www.alex-berlin.de/radio-livestream .

#Radio Irrtum! is a German language #radioShow exploring the sonic vastness of the #underground. Emitted transmissions may raise attention for new unheard #music all over this planets genre spectrum. Don't worry about the German language aspect - it's all about the #music!

This time there is even pure flute music inside, just take a look at the genres we'll cover:

- shape shifting, dreamy, and experimental #PopMusic
- brand-new authentic 90's #DnB
- club smashing #Bass
- Distorted #Tekkno
- #experimental stuff
- (like the mentioned #flute music which doesn't have to be "comfortable", just because it's made using a single flute… just sayin')
- #Punk for gardeners
- #shoegaze #grunge

There is #CreativeCommons licensed music in it, and of course there are #FediArtists featured, like @wroong (well — ok, this time just him, as far as I am aware).

Anyway: If at least a bit interested in kewl new unusual #music, tune in! 📻

I'll post playlist + manuscript later here (provided I’m home, else it will come up the day after). And if you have questions? I'll gladly answer! Just ask!
CU all on Saturday! :)

I now own and can play a note on my new* #flute

I guess that makes a basic #flautist lol.

I decided life is too short to not do the things I want to (budget permitting)

I always wanted to learn the saxophone, flute, Bass guitar and keyboard

So I am.

* new to me

Happy New Year. I know things feel really hard for a lot of us right now, so let me tell you something important:

In the highland rainforest of NSW, in the Werrikimbe region, there’s a community of superb lyrebirds. Lyrebirds are known for their unparalleled mimicry: they can reproduce the call of any bird they hear (and many other sounds as well). They collect songs like crows collect shiny objects. The variety and complexity of their repertoire, and the skill with which they deliver it, determines their reproductive success.

They also compose songs of their own. These songs vary from region to region; they are learned by lyrebirds when they're young, and passed down from generation to generation with remarkable stability. If a lyrebird finds or produces a new melody that other lyrebirds like, they absorb it into the communal repertoire.

The lyrebirds that live in the Werrikimbe are called flute lyrebirds because in winter, when they're in love, they sing a complex rising melody which sounds like scales played on a flute. This "flute accent" exists nowhere else in the world; it’s unique to this one community. On cold mornings, it floats down through the mists like an enchantment.

How did this haunting melody come about? It's said that a young boy kept a tame lyrebird, and every day the bird listened to him practicing the flute. Then one day the bird escaped. It went to live with its wild brethren, and taught them this new song.

But the truth is much more magical: Lyrebirds composed this song all on their own. It's more complex than any human flautist could ever hope to achieve, and it’s got features unique to lyrebird melody and anatomy.

Lyrebirds live and breathe music. They are built for music. They spend their lives studying the soundscape. They listened to the world around them, all of the pain and suffering and desire and joy, and this is what they sang back into it.
