RADIO TAXI 87.7 FM TAKING YOUR EARS FOR A RIDE a Taxi Gallery initiative ... live radio in Cambridge UK ... and on the internet.... ONLINE ARCHIVE WITH MANY THANKS TO NORWICH GALLERY FOR EAST SERVER SPACE (and also to Arts Council England East) |
We have set out to provide a flavour of the live event
that was Radio Taxi. Due to webspace limitations the archive does not
include ALL of the submitted soundworks, many of which are available elsewhere
on the web by following the links provided on the contributor's page of
this website. We have however included all of the original programming
made by the Radio Taxi core team, Taxi Gallery artists, Radio Taxi Club
and a selection from the Night on Earth overnight schedule. Alongside
these there are a number of recordings made during the live broadcast
including the 7 live-in-studio sessions for the Listening Picnic, discussions
on the future of Community Media, "chavs" and chats with Stanesfield
Road neighbours in the cab. There's a lot here - do delve around the different
sections and apologies to those on dial-up connections - that was a push
too far for us right now.
The landmark recording of Rime of the Ancient Mariner voiced by the entire staff and student body of Coleridge Community College is now available for purchase as a high quality digipak CD package at www.coleridgerime.info so we have included just a short excerpt in this archive.

open in iTunes or Windows Media Player - enjoy! |
