Show 752: MOTHERS & DAUGHTERS by BNA-BBOT for Radio Campus Bruxelles

In the spring of 2018, the temporary lesbian bar Mothers & Daughters opened in Brussels. This opening brought together a community in deficit. In deficit of place, of celebration and of collective rituals. In the wake of this event whose near disappearance made its presence all more precious, Severine Irène V. Janssen X BNA-BBOT recorded testimonies, conversations and sounds. These recordings took place in the bar and outside the bar and resulted in this radiophonic piece.

BNA-BBOT isa Brussels-based organisation dedicated to the past, present and future sound memory of Brussels. Since 2000, BNA-BBOT generates a history and memory of the city through the stories and memories of its inhabitants. We’ve compiled closed to 20.000 items of sound data – witness accounts, snippets of conversations, monologues, songs, soundscapes and raw sounds – that form the history of the city. A kind of documentative experience over a very long course, which is not only intended to capture the voices and sounds that pass, but to also create multiple forms that can be heard and returned to the city. All this, in order to have the city actively rework its living memory, and the memory – both present and future – constantly reworked by the city.

Séverine Irène V. Janssen lives and works in Brussels. She studied philosophy but her passion for the way in which history is conceived, written, commented and transmitted, as well as her interest in memory as a political and aesthetic subject led her to take on coordination for BNA-BBOT in 2009.

Show 751: Frog in Wild (Radio Grenouille – Euphonia)

De quel surface sommes-nous ?

Vers quel paysage nous projeter ?

Quels mots pour décrire l’extérieur ?

Des questions qui nous traversent. Une réflexion en chemin qui s’écoute ici. Par des instants captés au cours de différents projets portés par Radio Grenouille – Euphonia : Ateliers radiophoniques, enquête ethnographique, émissions, essais et  expérimentations.

La voix dans le paysage, les plantes qui poussent à nos pieds, les profondeurs sous-marines et l’avion qui passe…

Frog in Wild

What surface are we from ?
What kind of landscape are we looking at ?
What words to describe the exterior ?


Questions that run through us.
A reflection on the road that can be heard here.
By moments captured during various projects carried out by
Radio Grenouille – Euphonia :
Radio workshops, ethnographic surveys, broadcasts, tests and experiments.

The voice in the landscape, the plants growing at our feet, the underwater depths and the passing plane…

Show 750: enttäuschungen (disappointments) (Guest Slot: Radiofabrik)

by Peter Haas for Radiofabrik

Well – expectations of radio (seeing something?) and expectations of the arts (something beautiful?) and disappointments, respectively: such tight packages of overlays (the findings and the collected flotsam) so that it’s not that easy anymore….

But always those voices and these sounds and then something’s saying something….

From times when it was hard for an amateur to tinker with good mixtapes, an addiction salvaged into times where they’re easy to make, but hard to curb….

Peter Haas is an amateur in many fields
