  7:00 The Wire: The Impact of Electricity on Music

  Winner of a Peabody Award and the Prix Italia

  Eight programmes

  (5) The Sound Around

  Electricity's done a lot of great things for music, but there have also been a few side-effects. For better or for worse, wherever you go today, music is playing, at a restaurant, in a store, at the mall, when you're on hold on the phone. Are we suffering from musical overload? How did music come to be so ubiquitous? And what's the difference between ambient music and aural wallpaper, relaxation and irritation?

  Featuring the voices of David Toop, Mark Kingwell, John Cage, and Kenny Kahn of the Muzak Corp. Includes the Episode 5 remix by Nitsuji (CBC)

  8:00 Anthony Donaldson & the Village Idiots at the 9th Wellington International Jazz Festival (recorded at Happy, Wellington by RNZ)
