About
Jeff Green's Soundings and Maxmedia
Jeff
Green recorded his first full sound production at twelve, his
first broadcast series at sixteen. His oldest play in the series
("Epiphanies") was produced with the assistance of a
Canada Council Explorations grant in 1980.
After
a period of time devoted to commercial radio production and live
video mixing Jeff returned fulltime to radio drama with the rest
of this series, beginning with "Spaxter" in 1986, and
followed over the next four years by "The Tuning", "Flash",
"Somebody Talking To You", "She Dreams of Atlantis",
"Xmas Is Coming To The District of Drudge", and the
trio of horror stories that were heard under the title Weird Words:
"Vigilante", "Psychotherapy", and "Plague".
All productions in his collection were written, produced, and
directed by Jeff Green. The music was written, performed and engineered
by Charles Fairfield. All plays were recorded
and engineered by Jeff Green in the studios of CHEZ 106, Ottawa,
with the exception of "Epiphanies" engineered by Charles
Fairfield in Passeport Studios, Hull, Quebec. "Xmas Is Coming
To The District of Drudge" and "Plague" won Ottawa
ACTRA awards for Best Radio Program of the Year in 1988 and '89
respectively. A set of the plays as broadcast on America's National
Public Radio Network received a silver medal in the drama category
at the 1990 New York International Radio Festival. Plays from
the series have also been heard on Canada's CBC, Britain's LBC,
and Australia's ABC networks. All contents copyright (1980, '86,
