A Work for Radio

A 2 track spoken word album (1h 1m 20s) — released January 1st 1970 on The Tapeworm

This hour-long compositional documentary was produced for the CBC Radio Series "Signature," and was originally broadcast on April 28, 1979. It was nominated for an ACTRA award for best radio documentary of the year. It is the result of a remarkable creative collaboration by artists such as John Cage, Charlotte Moorman, Philip Corner, and Nam June Paik himself with the author. Interspersed throughout the portrait are audio realisations by Ray Gallon of conceptual works by Nam June Paik. Thanks also to Lorne Tulk for remarkable engineering and creative contributions, and to Digby Peers for the courage to broadcast it.


Author and producer: Ray Gallon. Mix engineer: Lorne Tulk. Additional technical assistance: John Hollinger. Narration: Ray Gallon, Russ Germain. Series producer: Digby Peers.
