Dear listeners,

unfortunately due to the lack of submissions this week and a mounting workload I have been unable to compile the show. I want to be honest and say that Tucker and I have been killing ourselves to make the show, but it was just too much work for even our creative juices to muster. I have however, as a peace-offering put up my own newly completed, Dystopiano Tetralogy, which I hope you enjoy. I have also recently been formulating somes plans for the show, I detail them below.

Developmental plans for Motif Radio

The show has to become a 'once a month' occurrence. Yep I have now entered the grown-up world of employment and thus I have less time to formulate ideas for the show and harrass people for submissions. This means that from this point forward the Motif Radio will fill a once a month slot. I think that overall this will lead to more care and attention on my part to each show and full artist line-ups.

So that's about it for the plans for now.

On our next show on the 14th of June is going to be fantastic. I have Abinadi Meza on the show, an artist based in Minneapolis confirmed. Those of you in the States may have seen his work in the 8x8x8 show at the Soap Factory.

I also have some news for Artists working in the London area. Fred Lindborn sent me an email about a show that he is putting together in Sweden based upon the book, Nausea by Jean Paul Sartre. There has already been a one day conceptual show in London and Fred plans to bring 15-20 London-based artists over to Sweden between the 14th and 24th of July. Guess what? He's still looking for performance artists to get involved, so if you're reading this and you want to get involved contact Fred at loveskull(at)hotmail.com*

Well I'd best be off, I'll be all yours in a couple of weeks.

Thanks for listening,

Fiona
