本周的Take X节目开始播放葡萄牙波尔图（Porto）的Miguel Carvalhais以radio，这个最老的广播媒介，作为母题的合辑Essays on Radio - Can I have 2 minutes of your time? 其中网罗了39位声音艺术家/实验音乐家的作品。作者从知名度较高的Pita, General Magic, Stephan Mathieu到葡萄牙本土的Pedro Tudela（和Carvalhais共同运营波尔图的实验厂牌Cronica）和Paulo Raposo（里斯本实验厂牌Sirr-ecords的创办人）。每人只给2分钟，即120秒。结果整体效果却出人意料地和谐（大家都很收敛），而不是天马行空。把39段曲子连在一起就是一首完整的接力作品。我也是这样播放的。播放表里没有指名道姓，似乎盲听更有乐趣。适合戴耳机听。
Carvalhais的个人背景也颇为有趣。他是波尔图美术学院设计系的一名老师，同时也是设计师和音乐家。其media-label Cronica关注和各种时基视听媒介的交流和实验。
每周六晚9点在Radio Take10。点这里收听。
Carvalhais关于本项目的介绍短文：
Essays on Radio aims to comment on the sound medium, on the technology and the culture of radio.
In the midst of media saturation, radio can easily end by being an overlooked medium, not only due to its lower visibility compared to most mainstream media but mostly because it is an un-visual medium. It is also one of the longer standing and of the oldest electronic media that is still alive, so the novelty factor is not a help.
Radio was the first broadcast medium, as well as the first that was sound-specific and intangible. Historically, radio was the primary responsible for an awareness of sound that went beyond the strict scope of music.
Radio is a saturated live medium, where much happens simultaneously. Having little or no control about the sources and the interferences during broadcast and reception turns radio into a medium where we can easily and objectively experience noise. Therefore, it was probably through radio that many first heard white noise. It was probably with a radio receiver that many first modulated noise as it was probably through radio that we experienced randomness along with the lack of control and indeterminacy.
This theme was intended to provide the artists with a starting point to approach the work. Unlike we did in the previous compilation, there would be no audio sources provided to the artists beforehand. In this release, what we were looking for were not exercises on composing from shaping any given sound matter but rather on relating the musical pieces to this particular context: Radio.
As a further way to coherently organize the CD, we asked all the artists to produce the pieces with a fixed duration. This symbolic length allowed us to fit work from some of the artists we released so far and a few selected guests and it also served as a strong structure binding all the compositions together. Given the fact that we are closing the 2nd year of Crónica releases, we proposed that all tracks should have the fixed duration of 2 minutes, exactly.
Therefore the sub-title: Can I have two minutes of your time?
