The Overnightscape Underground

As you may have heard on yesterday’s recording, “The Radio Vacation”, I am going to take a few weeks off from recording and releasing stuff. I’ll be back next month (November 2009).

In other news, I am very close to completing OnsugBox – a nearly 1,500-hour collection of just about all of my recorded work – up to and including yesterday’s recording! The main version will be around 75 GB and the Portable Version (with a lower audio bitrate) will fit on a 16 GB flash drive. My hope is that people can buy their own media and mail it to someone who already has the data, and is able to copy the data and then mail the media back to them. (Online distribution is also possible…) Stay tuned to onsug.com to see when it will be available.

Welcome former listeners of The Rampler on WFMU to the Exit Ramp Forum.

Though I was hoping to continue the show, The Rampler was not picked up for the Fall 2009 – Spring 2010 WFMU schedule.

There are two episodes remaining – I’ll do the show this Friday night / Saturday morning (October 3 – my birthday), and next week, October 10.

The reason for the cancellation, as I understand it, is twofold. First, it’s a very competetive schedule – a lot of very talented people want to get on the air on WFMU. Secondly, The Rampler really is on a very different “wavelength” from the other programming on the station, and so has been having a hard time “fitting in”.

I do think that given time, The Rampler may have been able to be a success at WFMU – but I understand it’s very hard to give a show like mine that kind of time, considering how many other shows are clamoring to get on.

So while I am disappointed, I do understand the decision and I think it may be for the best. Can only bash a square peg into a round hole for so long before it becomes tiresome for everyone involved.

I’ll remain on good terms with the station, and I may be back on the air in some capacity in the future.

With this, my sole remaining “radio” outlet will be The Overnightscape Underground (onsug.com) – which I do plan on continuing (and it’s been going great, and is better than the WFMU show anyway).

The Rampler with Frank Edward Nora (on WFMU) will continue.

The Overnightscape Underground will continue.

OnsugBox is nearing completion.

The Overnightscape and The Rampler are now ended, and will not continue. However, just about everything that these shows represent is being continued on the WFMU show and in the Underground.

Many thanks to AndyKaufmanTV for creating this awesome video!!

The Rampler is now a regular weekly show on WFMU!

Tonight at 2:00 AM (the early morning of Saturday, June 27, 2009) is the official premiere of my show “The Rampler with Frank Edward Nora” on WFMU.

This comes after a lot of hard work, first doing a number of test shows, and then doing three fill-in shows on the air, over the past few months.

The show is a combination of NYC street recordings, just like the regular Rampler, and also me live in studio – somewhat reminiscent of The Overnightscape (I may even use a MadPlayer!)

The show is going to be on for the next 16 weeks on WFMU’s Summer Schedule, with the last show of the Summer being on October 10. After that, it is quite possible the show will continue on WFMU, but not guaranteed.

HOW TO LISTEN

You can listen over the radio airwaves in the NYC area on 91.1 FM. It is also broadcast on WMFU (90.1 FM) in Mount Hope, upstate New York. And of course, it will be streamed live at WFMU.org.

The interactive playlist will be active, where you can leave comments and chat with everyone. Just go to WFMU.org when the show is on for a link to the playlist.

I will also be experimenting with streaming live video on UStream at this link: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/rampler

The videos will be recorded for viewing anytime.

I also plan on taking phone calls, though probably a little later in the show.

Here is the page for The Rampler on WFMU. Once the show is complete, it will be archived there. I also plan on releasing an archive here on ONSUG.

See you all tonight!!
