Into the Magic Soundbox IV
On April 23, Into the Magic Soundbox, CFRC’s showcase of musicians & spoken word artists performing radio live, presented the fourth installment of the past year.

All of this was anchored by a moving, atmospheric soundtrack provided by some of Kingston’s finest musicians.

Naisatron Workshop
On April 26, CFRC partnered with New Adventures in Sound Art (NAISA) to present a workshop for Kingston youth to build light sensitive electronic instruments, or Naisatrons. Hector & Rene from NAISA led a group of eager participants through the basics of electronic assemblage: learning to solder various components to create an otherworldly sci-fi instrument that creates sound based on fluctuations of light. Recordings from the orchestra of Naisatrons will be featured at next month’s Deep Wireless Sound Art festival in Toronto.
