Show 415: What is Radio? by Özge Dayan Mair and Maria Herold for Radio Orange

Radia #415

“What is Radio?” – To find answers to this question we immersed ourselves deeply in the world of radio – poetic spoken atmosphere together with a cacophony of thoughts about historical moments in radio-periods were the result. In nearly every person’s life radio plays a major role. But what radio is to the individual mostly differs from what it is for the masses. We guide you with surrounding sounds, voices, words, languages, music and silence through the fascinating and diverse world of radio. You just have to listen.

Producers: Maria Herold & Özge Dayan Mair

Many thanks to the users from freesounds.org, Tobias Dankl for sound sceneries and the accordion player from Karlsplatz.

Show 392: Elektronik Teatime Live-Recording from the Paraflow-Festival 2012

elektronik teatime @ paraflow festival 2012

The Elektronik Teatime is an informal monthly event where artists working with electronic media are freely invited to rewire and cook electronic art in the afternoon.

The focus of this workshop-like atmosphere is especially held on the integration of a multitude of different forms of electronic expressions, e.g. literature. The thereby produced acousto-visual output will be presented to the indolent majority of the open public if the producers agree on its quality.

The centre of an eventual focus point addresses artists that are enlightened by the topic and the meaning of the realxed teatime in our modern society of new media. This time artists where encouraged to deal with the idea of Bruchstücke…

The Elektronik Teatime was found as a collective in 2006 by Christoph Jokubonis and Lale Rodgarkia-Dara, then Stefan Fraunberger came along and after he left many others followed, stayed as organisators for a while, left or stayed as participators. Among all of them Stephan Roth, Christian Friedrich, Una Steiner, Reinhard Dundler. At the moment the organisational collective consists of Caroline Profanter, Lale Rodgarkia-Dara, and Anna Steiden.

The current recording you will listen to took place during the paraflow-festival on 23rd of September 2012. Starting with some preparation around 6 pm, many people joined the session and included sound, texts, voice, streamings, and visuals or cakes, analoge and digital. It lasted till 11 pm. Besides the concept of withdrawing performance-pressure from the artists, it’s main goal is some kind of trial-and-error of many different locations and acoustic surroundings, including out-door and no electricity, temporary used spaces or stages. This time the location, which is temporarily used by the Weißes Haus is a former school at Argentinierstraße. The building is a typical Gründerzeit-House built at the beginning of the 20th century providing a school-like atmosphere for those who had gone though Viennese schools and an open interesting acoustic between thick walls for those who weren’t.

This time Jörg Zemmer, Peter Pichler, Anna Steiden, Caroline Profanter, Christoph Jokubonis, Christine Schörkhuber, Reinhard Dundler, Michael Zacherl, Lale Rodgarkia-Dara, Anna Frida, Andreas Stoiber and Mona Hollerweger were part of the Elektronik Teatime.

The Elektronik Teatime was invited by the music-curators of the paraflow festival Andreas Stoiber and Anna Steiden.

DIGGING RADIO

Yet another annoying piece of radio art?

In the beginning there was the paraphrase. Starting from the search for radio art events to be reproduced we ended up looking into landmarks of radio history in connection with art– hopping from its beginnings to the digital turn.

Listen to a simulation of history and how it is digged out of its holes.

Show 356: CROATAN N17 by Lucas Crane & Angela Moore

A radio play about inter-dimensional dropouts, alien refugees, and going cosmical
native created during a residency at worm, december 2011. Weird orbs beacon from the swamp, surprises abound in the forest, confusion reigns. But were they swallowed forever by the abyss or except its invitation willingly? Recorded in and around the shipyards of Rotterdam and in the forests of Barcelona while protests of awakening raged in New York City, this dream sequence of cut-ups meditates on the state of the traveller, stranger, seeker, and pilgrim foraging for oneness with a radically shifting psychic environment.

G Lucas Crane is a sound artist and sound performer working in the medium of
analogue tape and obscured, recovered memories in the digital age.
Angela Moore is an artist working in sound and video with focus on the mythical
and mystical.

Show 347: Radio Convoy by Johannes Kubin and Marianne Lang


Radio Convoy DJing

Radio Convoy was an acoustic experiment, initiated by Johannes Kubin and Marianne Lang. The unique transfer via self-made pirate radio station featured artistic sound recordings and audio posts by 20 (mostly visual) artists. The entire setting was mobile. This means not only the transmitter (the mobile sound studio) was on the road, but also the audience, who took up the chase, not to lose the signal.
The radio show was made up of short artistic contributions as well as self-created music tracks, live acts and performances set to music happening in the front car. Following Artists were featured at the Radio Convoy: Bertrand de Colombel, Maryse, Coralie de Gonzaga, Zweintopf, die Zitterpartie, Erstes Österreichisches Triangeltrio, Mike Ballard, H.C. Moser, Roland Hochenauer, Erik Hable, Hans Pollhammer, Kai Kuss, Johannes Kubin, Dorit Ehlers, Marianne Lang, Stephen, Mathewson, Ulla Rauter, Christine Schörkhuber, Traradio, Agnieszka Wellinger, Bernd Rohrauer and Karl Schönswetter.
Radio Convoy intended to raise questions: Which options gives a “pirate radio station”? Why the digression into an acoustic medium? Is the convoy a militant metaphor for “my car is my castle”? What for is this “hit and run” within a convoy, and where the journey will lead to? The different positions are patrolling between topics such as urbanism, mobility, radio piracy, artistic identity and medial stereotypes in art.
Radio Convoy was transmitted on Saturday 24th Sept. 2011 for one hour, at the Radia-Show you will listen to a recording of the live performance.
Radio Convoy was a contribution to the project Coded Cultures 2011.
Introduction Speaker: Barbara Kaiser

Show 327: nitropic by Karl Schoenswetter


nitropic

this sound collage is an offer to contemplate “expectations”. intros and interludes are little sound sculptures which are preparing the listeners for the main feature. this time you will have to deal with the fact, that the emotional energy of these little ‘push-ups’ is potentially increased by consuming only this type of sound. the question is – what will happen to you when you are listening to such a great amount of emotional uplift? Do listeners really believe in the power of music or will they rather be afraid of the epic shift in consciousness?
technical info: you are listening to original samples. there are no effect overdubs on this mix.

artists in sort of appearance:
can, the roots, eminem, brian eno & david byrne, pink floyd, dj shadow, five deez, polarkreis 18, gorillaz, gustav mahler, neu!, muse, gorillaz, within temptation, alkbottle, peter gabriel, massive attack, boards of canada, octogon man, palmskin productions, basement jaxx, sigur rós, gustav, dr. dre, east flatbush project, jimi hendrix, john forgerty, manu chao, gianna nannini, iron maiden, james lavelle, kinderzimmer productions, mono & nikitaman, kraftwerk

Show 307: Reality Theft


REALITY THEFT
The instrument as a pendeling something.
___________________

A talk with the musician Stefan Fraunberger who calls himself a researcher for inner realities in acoustic events. He collected a couple of electroacoustic artists, Richard Bruzek, Daniel Lercher, Lale Rodgarkia-Dara, and Vinzenz Schwab, in the same way he is collecting soundscapes. He stole them.
Together they created an ironic afternnoon of soundscapes and multichanneling by joyfully arranging 12 loudspeakers. The hall  started to swing.

Stefan Fraunberger is doing sound-research concerning noise, language and harmony in the context of
vowels and consonants in different cultural and religious traditions with the aim of what he calls pragmatic sound-results.

This afternoon session on Feb 5th 2011 was presented by Volkmar Klien at the Alte Schmiede in Vienna.
The recording-artist is nothing but a theft.

Show 280: this is not a radioplay by Dr. Lukas Simonis

This is a Radioshow by WORM aus Rotterdam: it is a non linear radioplay constructed with spamlists messages and addresses, child torture and field recordings, soundart and snippets of music by The Static Tics.

Dr. Lukas Simonis constructed and edited it, while Henk Bakr looked on and saw that it was good (it was actually time for his afternoon nap, but he skipped it for the good cause)
