disc 1 : eavesdropping originally released 2013

Eavesdropping was always intended to be heard in the long form that Bandcamp is able to provide. The original pieces seemed to form a whole with a continuity and consistency. At the time we toyed with the idea of putting it on a DVD for extended playing time but eventually decided against this as the medium was not as portable as we would have liked.This was of course before digital files became the norm for playback.

Here then is the entirety of Eavesdropping as it was meant to be heard. We've also included some 'darker' remixes which were made a year or so later but not released. Eventually we used edited down versions of the original mixes of 'Friday 4' (Absolutely Area 51), Saturday 5 ('The Skylab Pictures') and Sunday 10 ('This Is As Close as You Go'), just 3 out of the 8 pieces recorded, to make a single CD. We hope you like this 3 disc version.

Quite why it has taken us so long to get around to doing it remains a mystery.

radio massacre international's sound defies categorization it is more magical than musical. the music is, first and foremost, improvisational. it is loose in structure but also searching. r.m,i. is all about generating the happy accidents that occur at the ever-changing intersection of multiple moving bodies. when two sequences converge fascinating things happen opening rhythmic and textural options that just moments before were closed to view. it is the creation and exploration of those options that dominates what r.m,i. does in its music.
