Show 200: yr byt by IT

Leave a comment

Johannes Krause and Claus Störmer are working together as IT, a project in the context of live electronic and electroacoustic music. Choosing radio corax as a platform to present their live improvised work, IT is about experimenting with sounds and the development of methods of playing, depending on the material. IT use live recordings to process them as well as mix them up with synthetic sounds, with the intention of creating a coherent sonic field, fusing abstract and representational aspects of these sounds. The state varies in time through which the association on a specific sound is not fixed. The attempt is to figure out an open acoustic situation without a definite link to music…

For our radio-work we made field-recordings which had an artificial sound. We brought them together with synthetic material, which in the contrary, sound natural. These very distinguished aspects in our source material were set as close as and as far as possible in correlation. Therefore movement, space, mimesis, presence, auditory threshold, and rhythm where important parameters.

Show 199: Domestic Radiation by Anna Friz

Leave a comment

A composition made from the imagined and actual intercepted fields of electro-magnetic and acoustic signals in and around my apartment in Toronto, Canada. This piece seeks to express some of the wireless action surging daily on site. I am particularly interested in the relative flatness and depth perceivable in both acoustic and Hertzian space, and in the diminishing horizon in the city as a result of urban design and an exponential increase in wireless infrastructure (or electro-magnetic clutter). Additional filters include mason jars, theremin, ring modulator, staged interference, and delay. This show is best enjoyed on headphones, for those listening online.

Show 198: OUT OF SPACE-war of the worlds

Leave a comment

Live-Radio-Drama on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of Orson Welles’ interpretation of H.G. Wells’ novel War of the Worlds on Oct 30th 1938.

Lange Beschreibung A scenic reading, electroacoustic performance, incl. live-streaming and live terrestrial broadcasting.

„When it comes to radio and audio we are much closer to the
subliminal text of our society.
Literature and audio open up a new reception onto the
vestiges of the accelerated world.“
Lale Rodgarkia-Dara

On Oct 30th 2008 Christine Ehardt (academic part) and Lale Rodgarkia-Dara (artistic part) organised a new production of war of the worlds based on the novell by H.G.Wells at the Planetarium in Vienna.

Within four weeks more then 20 artists (electroacoustic musicians, actors and visualists) joined the production, including live-streams from Cologne and three radiostations took over the live-stream and included the live-drama in their programme.

Radio walks towards its original immediacy.

Show 197: quand le LA n’est pas là by DJP

Leave a comment

It’s been made by DJP, an inventor of several new electro-acoustical instruments and devices.
The piece is a kind of pseudo scientific conference about Fmajor, a
surrealistic, pata-conference. The talking part is in french, but anyone can get his point very quickly.
How occidental music could have been much different if it was not for this Fmajor obsession.
Une bonne écoute

Special: Radia 2008 Review by Ricardo Reis and João Bacalhau

Leave a comment

35 minutes to highlight the production for the whole year of 2008 of the Radia network would compress the 44 radio programs (1232 minutes), in a 0.028 ratio…

The 2008 review mix for Kunstradio represents a personal choice (compiled by Ricardo Reis and João Bacalhau) of the amazingly large spectrum of material that was produced throughout 2008. A list identifying the shows that were plundered for this work is given bellow (no special order). We hope it entices listeners’ curiosity to listen to more Radia shows and check the descriptions on http://www.radia.fm. And, YES, if you are an artist, send an email to the station nearer you and propose a program to Radia.

Show 195: Mixing Borders

Leave a comment

Listening to the radio is like traveling and when you travel you cross borders. How does it sound when you mix borders? Borders on your map, borders in your head. Enjoy a cup of tea, or a good cognac, while listening to Mixing Borders.

Produced by Selma Gültoprak, Keiko Takahashi, David Hahlbrock, Franziska Windisch, Julia Weißenberg and Oliver Salkic.

This show is one of the outcomes of the Airtime seminar at the Academy of Media Arts in Cologne. http://www2.khm.de/airtime/

Show 193: The Military Landscape Show by Jay Needham

Leave a comment

Lange Beschreibung The sonic resonance that surround current and former military landscapes have intrigued artists working with sound. Memories of power and technology settle as an uneasy layer in these environments, creating opportunities for artists. I intend for this to be an on-going series, hopefully weaving in writings, interviews and inviting collaborations.

1.Richard Lerman, Aleutian Internment (7:01)
Inside a hunting dwelling on the Pribilof Islands in the Bering Sea (amplified whale bone, grass, rain, wild celery and a wind harp) Funter Bay Internment camp (slats of the goldmine camp building where they were interned, windharp, rain) Windharp and weeds at a Cemetery across from the Internment camp at Funter BaySeals on St Paul Island, the Pribilofs Ugadaga Bay, looking towards Biorka Island and an Iris in the wind and snow, recorded on Unalaska Island.

2. Louise K. Wilson “Black Beacon Receiver mix” ( 5:46)
Mixed-down version of the seven soundscapes produced for “Black Beacon Receiver”. From A Record of Fear

3. Louise K. Wilson, “U amplified choir. Sine oscillator ” Yannais Kyriakides, Composer (7:20)
A specially composed piece for Exmoor Singers, made for temporary installation in Lab 5 at Orford Ness.
Recorded at Lansdowne Studios, London on August 7, 2005.
Music Director: James Jarvis; Producer Clarissa Farran.

4. Richard Lerman, Trinity Site (5:12)
Trinity Site, near Alamagordo, NM, was recorded in April 1997. Two times a year, the site where the first atomic bomb was tested, is opened up to visitors and many hundreds of people attend. I began recording from the car as I entered the military check point. Later, I recorded sounds from piezo disks attached to glass pieces that I placed into the earth. Also heard are sounds recorded from the fence surrounding ground zero and amplified, grass, weeks and footsteps of persons at the site.
