Meet Chris Watson

Relics – Miniatures on Air (1953-2019)

Relics tell stories, take listeners on acoustic journeys or document situations. They can be poems, studio productions, field recordings or something else entirely. A 53-minute mix from Paul Paulun's series Fundstück on DLF-Kultur with radiophonic miniatures by Anne Waldman, Helga Goetze, Mark E. Smith, Timothy Leary and 26 other artists.

Filed Recordings – Miking the World (1958-2018)

“Listen to your world. It may be more interesting than all the things you buy to escape from it.” 46-minute mix that proves Sasha Frere-Jones’ observation from 1999 right – with field-recordings by Alejandra & Aeron, Bill Fontana, Chris Watson, Paul Bowles and others.
