Sound Artist Norbert Herber Presents "For the [ ] of the Loop" at TU's Hogue Gallery

Aired on Thursday, October 1st.

On this edition of ST, we speak with Norbert Herber, a musician, sound artist, and Department of Telecommunications faculty member at Indiana University, who is presenting an art exhibition soon on the TU campus. This show, called "For the [ ] of the Loop," will be on view at the Hogue Gallery within the TU School of Art from October 2nd through the 29th. Equally inspired by jazz improvisation and the quirky, hook-driven jingles of 1980s video games -- and by computer sounds of all sorts as well as visual collages and other mixed-media creations -- Herbert creates sound environments that explore how people hear and/or experience the world by way of audio technology. Thus his art works are based on audio software, speakers, sound effects, loops, and so on. You hear hear samples of his work here.

Rich Fisher passed through KWGS about thirty years ago, and just never left. Today, he is the general manager of Public Radio Tulsa, and the host of KWGS’s public affairs program, StudioTulsa, which celebrated its twentieth anniversary in August 2012 . As host of StudioTulsa, Rich has conducted roughly four thousand long-form interviews with local, national, and international figures in the arts, humanities, sciences, and government. Very few interviews have gone smoothly. Despite this, he has been honored for his work by several organizations including the Governor's Arts Award for Media by the State Arts Council, a Harwelden Award from the Arts & Humanities Council of Tulsa, and was named one of the “99 Great Things About Oklahoma” in 2000 by Oklahoma Today magazine.
