A night on the town with Giovanni (Meowth)


Hello good listeners!

This week Giovanni hit the town on one of his comrade's suggestions. All I can say is the night was swingin'. Listen here.

Here's what we heard at the Jazz Club.




Iggly Biggly Jiggly Puff



Giovanni and I entered our little Jigglypuff into a songwriting contest. The Competition was stiff, but in the end li'l Jiggly ended up taking the cake! Listen here.

Arbok Starship


Charrrrrrrrrrrrrrbok-ah.

Get ready for another episode of Vulpixelation on Tuesday. It's time to see if I've got what it takes to charm Arbok. Listen in because I might need someone to call 911 if I'm bitten. Things are going to get tense! I'm sure of it.

Work on Audio Files


---- Technical Update ------

As you may have noticed all of the files that I've had on the site in the past have been really raw. You've had to slog through five minuted of music before the actual program on a regular basis and listeners, that just ain't fair to you!

As a result, I've spent an evening going through the archives and trimming the audio so that it's a much more pleasureable listen.

Another problem seems to be that the wonderful server that I was uploading the Vulpixelation files on seems to be non operational. I know not what to do. I've contacted those responsible for the server and am trying to resolve this issue seeing as how I have 15 hours of Vulpixelation to make available and 10 hours to reupload.

Again if you have any thoughts on future shows shoot me an email at jjfernan@wrct.org.

New Layout and new style to the program.

Hello pokéfans,

I'd like to let you know that Vulpixelation will now be airing as a prerecorded episode on Tuesday until Mid July. I will be learning the art and craft of sonic circuit building and unfortunately the classes for this learning endeavor occur at the same time as my beloved show. Alas, prerecorded episodes are the only recourse!

Hopefully June has been coming along well for all of you. The show has taken a pleasant turn in terms of content and the shows have been becoming extremely content rich sonic tapestries. This is all thanks to the ubiquity of audio recordings and the wonderful ways in which they are archived. I'm very happy with the more experimental bent the show has been taking.

As such I want to give a big shout out to all archivists out there! You make cultural works like mine so very pleasurable and exciting.

Tomorrow's lucky pokémon is Zubat. Get ready to go spelunking and to use a nifty little device that Professor Rowan made for me. Last week's recording of Geodude can be found here.

Forgive me for how difficult it is to access the logs of these recordings. The ideal solution would be for me to have the recordings online on my own server that has a clean and quirky front end that leads you to the file directory. Each entry will have a short description and you can preview it from that page. If you like it you'll be able to download it for free.

Additionally if you'd like to aid me in this endeavor of Sonic Portraits shoot me an email at jjfernan@wrct.org. Juan Fernandez is my current intern and he takes all my mail. Additionally if your name is Mary you'll get the job on the spot. No questions asked.

Wishing you the best
-Oak

So Much To Catch Up On!


Hello Pokéfans!

Well, I'm currently off in the hillsides of Kanto eating lovely meals with my dear family. I would simply like to ask for your forgiveness. For what you say? Well I haven't updated this blog with recordings from this season's Vulpixelation. I'll be trimming up the recordings as best as possible and making them accessible for you.

Keep checking in for some treats from this season:
