Audiolog: Jean-Claude Pondevie

In some ways, Audiolog is a precursor to what would become Iterations — short reflections and observations presented without any visual component. It probably comes from growing up in the 60s and 70s, when radio was just as important to me as television and film — sometimes even more. I still remember DJs like “Uncle” Joe Benson who did a show on KLOS called The Seventh Day — seven albums played back to back, without any sort of commercial interruption. Between sides, Joe would tell stories about the artists and the production of each record. Jim Ladd did a show called Headsets — curated sets of music best heard in headphones. Then there was Joe Frank, whose bizarre and often surreal shows on KCRW became a genre unto themselves.The point is, audio has been special to me as far back as I can remember and it’s something I keep coming back to as a form of experimentation and expression. These episodes of Audiolog are a bit of both.---I received a wonderful gift from a terrific photographer I met last year at Paris Photo LA.
