From the Preface While many books about American radio have appeared, along with encyclopedias, nothing before has focused on the highest achievements in an audio art that combines speech and sounds. Having written critically about theater as well as music, I approach radio art as a modernist intermedium, to use Dick Higgins’s classic term, that exploits technologies developed in the twentieth century to forge an art unique to modern times. While American radio has mostly been a marketplace medium, individuals working in it produced a high levels of acoustic/linguistic experience that at its best is not just speech or just sound but represents a unique fusion of the two.
Some of these chapters began as programs for German radio, where I could follow a critical assertion with an appropriate recorded quotation. While books alone can not include the reproduction of sound, I assume first that my reader has not only already heard many of the classic examples but that he or she can get them from libraries, merchants selling discs, and certain websites. In two cases I kept the formats of a radio program because continuous prose would be clumsy. One of these chapters is an interview where the interviewee has nearly all the good ideas. Secondly, one advantage that the book has over the broadcast medium is that it can be consulted at random, whenever one wishes. For this last reason, books about the similarly transient art of theater, say, continue to be written
The Art of Radio in North America edition by Richard Kostelanetz Arts Photography eBooks
Richard Kostelanetz captures a part of radio too often ignored, the radio 'art' - a mix of journalism, poetry, sound, music - that has been done by a relative handful of people.This is emphatically not the same thing as public radio programming, though the more adventurous wing of public radio drew on the work of the people in this book.
Kostelanetz also makes explicit the relationship between the radio art of the great comedians of the 30s and 40s and the more self conscious, more abstract radio art that followed. (It's like the relationship between jazz from the swing era and bebop.)
It looks to be an ebook only, and in the new, cheaper world of publishing that means not as much attention to typos, of which there are a few. No matter: this book scratches a unique itch for people who think of radio as bigger than the twin poles of commercial and public radio. Highly recommended.
