FMN009: Cover Versions

Free Music Now! Vol. 9: Cover Versions
Original broadcast: January 14, 2010 (Thu), 2230-0000h (GMT +8)

We're airing on Thursday this week! Why? Blame Cat Power!

In the spirit of Chan Marshall, this generation's foremost re-interpreter of song, FMN! presents a programme of cover versions.

While in some contexts (say, a night at Timbre), the idea of cover versions means a dearth of originality and a conservative clamour for the familiar, the tried and the tested, we've cast our nets far and wide to source for reworkings that are one or more of the following: radical, endearing, unusual, cute, impressive, fucked up...

FMN002: Viva la Voz!

Free Music Now! Vol. 2: Viva la Voz!
Original broadcast: October 07, 2009 (Wed), 2230-0000h (GMT +8)

Presented by Mark Wong

Broadcast "live" from a cluttered bedroom on Balestier Road, Singapore, FMN! is an internet radio programme hosted on unpopular.radio. We pay special focus to music developments in Singapore and Southeast Asia.

"Free music" refers as much to the ideas of information flow and cultural dissemination as it does to musical forms which refuse to be shackled to genre orthodoxy. Inevitably, "Free Music NOW!" becomes clarion call for open ears and unfettered minds.

Vol. 2 puts the larynx, or voicebox, under the microscope. We've scanned the island (and its vicinity) for distinctive vocalists - persons who've devoted themselves in some degree to stretching their vocal cords to extend the expressive limits of their voices. While not all may be the most technical of "singers", our selection focuses on artists who've managed to stamp a corporeality on to their music, turning words into palpable flesh, and communicating nothing less than the physicality of presence.
