This was the playlist when OSP went on a radio station in Wrocław. A few months after, it's hard to reconstruct the exact sequence of events that led us there. It was something like this: there was a gig at an alternative space, David met us there, he had helped us set up the pre-LGM workshop at OPT, and he invited us to his friend's show on Radio Luz.
Our compilation was about the long tradition of appropriation in pop.
Afrika Bambaataa sampled Kraftwerk, everyone sampled The Winstons, and
M|A|R|R|S sampled everyone. Though I ~~didn't~~ find the pictures of OSP
donning the big headphones [found
them!],
I did find a lofi recording of the show. The typography
workshop had just taken place
a few days before:
There was another font made with letters from around the OPT buiding. We took pictures of graffitti, of old signage, of shops, of these kinds of things. We extracted the letters of the alphabet, and we constructed a new alphabet with them. It's the same principle as the music that we heard. Music with samples. Taking things that others have made, and you create a new thing that then you can share and that others can modify and use again...
