Musician and sound artists Hartmut Geerken lives in the middle of Bavaria in Wartaweill and works with the sounds of surrounding nature. His ways to communicate with the animals are the present to celebrate the 400th Radia show this week. We follow Geerken into a nest of bumblebees and listen to the queen and all the smart insects while having breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Show 399: No One Turned Away / No Guest List by various Kingston artists
Neven Lochhead, a musician in Kingston, Ontario, recently put together and released a compilation cassette of local musicians who are engaging with experimental musical and performance approaches. This episode features compositions from various artists on that compilation, and gives the listener a glimpse into the D.I.Y. approach in Kingston that explores alternate routes in attempts to arrive at new sonic shores. The diversity of the tape is evident in this episode, yet the pieces seem to speak to each other, if only in obscurity – through the collective blips, beeps and squeals, the listener can map out the nature, and the architecture of an imagined city.

Antipodean Field: constellations from Kings rapid.
by David Haines
“This piece was recorded in Dunedin New Zealand and in the Blue Mountains of
New South Wales, Australia. I thought I would climb Mt Analogue with this
piece, instead I found a deep and dark sandstone gorge. This is where I
live, not far from the Wollemi, which for the local indigenous people
translates as “look out country”. Electro-acoustic and electromagnetic
undulations tear open the firmament to reveal a thin sliver of the multiple
scales of an infernal roar.”

With support from Europe’s and the world’s biggest palaces of justice, and with a vision of solving the problems of unemployment and using F- and T-type prisons as for-profit companies with cheap labor, “Advanced Justice” is surging towards becoming a global brand: The world’s largest palace of justice (courthouse) is under construction in Istanbul’s Kartal district .
2/5BZ, (Istanbul), works in a range of media, with releases in video, music and literary formats. His work is characterized by a balancing on the verge of trash and the ongoing production of collages of music, cinema, web caches, speech and field recordings. 2/5BZ has put on live audiovisual performances in 19 countries and 91 cities, at clubs, festivals, squats and exhibitions. He concentrates on concepts such as cultural pipeline, energy dialogue, Turkish pop cinema, deconstruction, exotic tourism, anti-city myths, copy culture and remakes, investigating cultural clichés and Recent ( New-Age ) scientific discoveries; hardcore ultra modernism’s new strategies of future developments and their effects on the economic and political situation of individuals. In his audiovisual performances he has focused on new security measures and the indisputable acceptance of volunteering and is currently working on “New Age Toolerance Vampirism”, “ DNA Fascism”, ”Hologram Doctrine”, “Avatar Liberalism”, in “Palaverel” and Parallel Universes as well as ” Cosmic Nottoman NOptimism ” and recent performance ” Istanbul Courthoustep.”.
