About | Contact About Rhythmajik & Joe Banks Rhythmajik: A quasicabalistic method of healing that involves numerology and magical applications of sound. The show name came about after perusing a book of the same name written by rhythmist Z'ev. His work has been described as "an original approach to the energies released via the rhythmic process, including the healing potential of correctly structured rhythms, and their possible value as access codes to those frequencies unbound by the space-time continuum." Joe Banks first hosted radio a show with Case Western Reserve's college station WRUW-FM 91.1 in 1985. During his education at the university, he was Program Director for two years. After graduation way back in 1988, Joe was an alumni volunteer up until the end of this show. Rhythmajik aired from 1994 to 2002. Listen below to select promotional announcements for Rhythmajik (1994-2002). Joe's other shows have included Deathrace 2000 (1990-94), Diabolus in Musica (1989-1990), and Put On Your Face (1985-88). All production samples have been encoded for both RealAudio and MP3. Rhythmajik (1994 to 2002) Tribal, ambient, dub, electronica and other hybrid beat transmissions. The show theme grew from a growing interest in these types of music (and the availability thereof) and his boredom with the music business (after years of working at a fine music magazine) and its many psychic vampires.
Deathrace 2000 (1990 to 1993) New music for the last decade. Inspired by the oil conflict in the Arab Gulf in 1991; the movie "Death Race 2000," released in 1975, starring David Carradine and Sylvester Stallone; and "Joe Versus The Volcano," a movie whose lead character was named Joe Banks.
Diabolus in Musica (1989 to 1990) "Devil In Music." Diabolus in musica was a medieval term for the musical tritone (a musical chord with an augmented fourth or diminished fifth) that was associated with evil and was banned by the church as being thought to summon Satan. The show format included lots of contemporary industrial music and loud stuff. Good fun. Never to be taken too seriously.
Put On Your Face (1985 to 1988) Inspired by the whole waking-up experience, a take on the morning drive/school time. Most of the samples for these works were taken from an obscure "Patricia Stevens School of Modeling" record. (And beware of the cheese factor as well as a young Joe Banks voice.) This show took place at a time when the whole "alternative" music thing still seemed fresh.
Other Spots This spot was inspired by the overarching desire to manipulate people into saying what they really mean. Or perhaps by what your friendly operator voice might say after years of entrapment in the telecommunication lines. Both versions of "Hang" included, subtly different.
