7th Anniversary of The Overnightscape

frank — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 05:00:25 +0000

—————————————————————————

To celebrate the 7th Anniversary of The Overnightscape, I have launched a new website: FrankNora.com

On this site, you can listen to my entire radio archive in a convenient, web-based player – all of The Overnightscape, The Rampler, The Overnightscape Underground, and a whole lot more! There’s never been an easier way to listen to the archive – which currently stands at 1,865 tracks with 1,618 hours of audio (67.4 days).

—————————————————————————

I came up with the idea for The Overnightscape on Thursday, March 13, 2003. I was on my way home from work in NYC, riding the PATH train back to NJ. Here’s exactly what I wrote on my Palm Pilot:

3/13/03 6:54 pm

non-meta half-hour talk show, just me

3/13/03 7:03 pm

the overnightscape
nightscans

I went home, set up my recording system, and started recording the show at around 9:55 PM – less than 3 hours after I wrote down my idea for the show and its name (wow, just think, it could have been called Nightscans…) What I recorded was The Overnightscape Beta #1 – the first of two test shows I did before releasing the first official episode two weeks later.

Hear these and all the rest on FrankNora.com!

—————————————————————————

After a bit of chaos in the past few years, The Overnightscape has evolved into The Overnightscape Underground – still essentially the same, but with a slightly different configuration.

It’s been 7 years, and the pleasantly insane rambling is still going strong – and getting more insane all the time!!!

Enjoy the archive!

The Overnightscape Underground will continue.

OnsugBox is nearing completion.

The Overnightscape and The Rampler are now ended, and will not continue. However, just about everything that these shows represent is being continued on the WFMU show and in the Underground.

The Rampler on WFMU – Official Premiere Tonight!

frank — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 15:42:01 +0000

The Rampler is now a regular weekly show on WFMU!

Tonight at 2:00 AM (the early morning of Saturday, June 27, 2009) is the official premiere of my show “The Rampler with Frank Edward Nora” on WFMU.

This comes after a lot of hard work, first doing a number of test shows, and then doing three fill-in shows on the air, over the past few months.

The show is a combination of NYC street recordings, just like the regular Rampler, and also me live in studio – somewhat reminiscent of The Overnightscape (I may even use a MadPlayer!)

The show is going to be on for the next 16 weeks on WFMU’s Summer Schedule, with the last show of the Summer being on October 10. After that, it is quite possible the show will continue on WFMU, but not guaranteed.

HOW TO LISTEN

You can listen over the radio airwaves in the NYC area on 91.1 FM. It is also broadcast on WMFU (90.1 FM) in Mount Hope, upstate New York. And of course, it will be streamed live at WFMU.org.

The interactive playlist will be active, where you can leave comments and chat with everyone. Just go to WFMU.org when the show is on for a link to the playlist.

I will also be experimenting with streaming live video on UStream at this link: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/rampler

The videos will be recorded for viewing anytime.

I also plan on taking phone calls, though probably a little later in the show.

Here is the page for The Rampler on WFMU. Once the show is complete, it will be archived there. I also plan on releasing an archive here on ONSUG.

See you all tonight!!

The 6th Anniversary of The Overnightscape.

frank — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 14:20:05 +0000

Six years ago today, I had already done two “Beta” versions of The Overnightscape (on March 13, 2003 and March 20, 2003). On March 27, 2003, I did the very first official episode of the show… The Overnightscape #1 (hear it here).

So, this Friday, March 27, 2009, will be the 6th Anniversary of The Overnightscape. But this year things are a little different…

Doing The Overnightscape is very time-consuming. Often, I will spend an entire weekend working on the show. This became ingrained in my lifestyle and it has detracted from the rest of my life in many ways. This is coupled with the fact that even with all the effort, the show has only achieved a moderate success, in terms of audience and recognition.

In light of this, last August I began an experiment to see if there would be a way to do The Overnightscape in a way that would not have such an impact on my life. Thus began The Rampler.

The idea was to record in NYC during my walk back and forth from the Port Authority Bus Terminal to my job on 3rd Ave. The idea was to record and then release, with no post-production at all. The MP3 file recorded on the Edirol R-09 was the file that was released. All that would be needed would be to add tags to the MP3 file.

So I started this experiment, and it took off in a way I never imagined. Whereas the show is essentially the same as The Overnightscape, The Rampler became an exciting new variation on the theme for me.

In the seven months since The Rampler began, things have been changing. Slowly, I have been moving toward de-emphasising the studio aspect of my Internet radio show work. This was the original intent behind the development of The Rampler.

But… the original idea was that at some point, once the experiment was proven a success, “The Rampler” name would be retired, and it would be renamed “The Overnightscape”… thus The Overnightscape would continue on in this new form, with less of an impact on my life. However, The Rampler became something very distinct and new and unique…

So, The Rampler will remain The Rampler. This leaves the fate of The Overnightscape somewhat uncertain. Certainly, I am not going to be doing The Overnightscape on a regular basis anymore. But I don’t know that it would need to be “shut down” either.

Right now, I am in the middle of this whole process. I know it might be kind of a “clean break” to end The Overnightscape on the 6th Anniversary. But that sounds so… severe. Especially in light of the fact that The Overnightscape lives on more vital than ever as The Rampler!!

So this is what I will be thinking about this week… exactly what to do with The Overnightscape.

Ultimately, The Rampler IS The Overnightscape. Just in a slightly different form.

I’m very excited about the further development of The Rampler… and I hope everyone comes along for the ride!!

frank — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 22:25:38 +0000

Update – Feeds, WFMU, etc.

frank — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 15:57:32 +0000

The Overnightscape and The Overnightscape Underground got kicked out of the iTunes Music Store. Though the feeds were working fine, a WordPress plugin I was using was blocking iTunes from accessing the feeds. I have fixed the problem and re-submitted the feeds to iTunes, so hopefully they will be back and functional soon.

I have a really bad cold and my voice is shot. So I won’t be doing any shows this weekend. But rest assured that The Overnightscape will continue.

Since the last episode of The Overnightscape, there has been a lot of new material released in The Overnightscape Underground.

I will be going live on the radio airwaves this Friday, February 20, from 11 PM to 2 AM, on WFMU, which broadcasts to New Jersey and New York City at 91.1 on the FM dial. You can listen live on the Internet at WFMU.org. The show will be called “The Rampler with Frank Edward Nora”. This is a fill-in slot – but I may be getting a weekly show this Summer. The show will be available as an archive from WFMU, and I plan on releasing it on The Overnightscape Underground as well. The show will feature segments of me walking around NYC, as well as me live in-studio.

So anyway, yes – this is probably going to be the longest delay between episodes of The Overnightscape ever – at least 3 weeks. But it shall return!!

Update 2/15/09: I did a show, so it’s only 2 weeks between shows!

The Motor Excursion Ruffians #2

I know I haven’t been doing too many episodes of The Overnightscape lately (more are coming soon)… but there’s a LOT of new stuff on The Overnightscape Underground One feature that I’m really excited about is “The Motor Excursion Ruffians #2″. It’s a road trip with my friend Peter down to Virginia, where we meet up with our friend Bryan. It was recorded on April 4-5, 2003 – right at the start of The Overnightscape (between episodes 4 and 5).

The crazy thing is, this 9-part, 8.5 hour show has never been heard by anyone – until now! I don’t know why it took me so long, but after nearly 6 years, it is finally available for you to listen to!

Here is Part 1. And you can find all 9 parts here. Plus, here a photo gallery of pictures from the adventure.
