Show 386: Radio Dreaming by Anna Keleher and Claire Coté, Soundart Radio, UK

Radio Dreaming Episode 1: Dreams, Food and the Edible Landscape.

One year ago contemporary artists Anna Keleher (Devon, England) and Claire Coté (New Mexico, USA) were busy DREAMING PLACE at Marble Arch Caves Global Geopark in Éire and Northern Ireland. Now, an international audience can share their sonic adventures via a series of radio broadcasts woven from their experience. Based on an ancient Celtic tradition that the land remembers everything, Radio Dreaming explores how the land speaks through dreamers.

DREAMING PLACE is about deepening and illuminating our relationship with Place and we are excited to be sharing our project with audiences around the globe. Radio is an exciting medium that enables artists to reach people in their own homes or cars, in cities, small towns or very rural settings, says Claire Coté.

In this first Radio Dreaming episode, listeners are invited to join Anna and Claire wild camping, eating, drawing, walking and kayaking their way through the Geopark to meet its people, places, creatures and things. Episode 1 features stories, conversations and soundscapes of dreams, food, and edible geopark landscapes.

Our broadcast gives protagonism to the diverse voices of these Geopark homelands. We really hope that Radio Dreaming will inspire others to listen and share stories in their own homeplaces, says Anna Keleher. Anna began her successful international collaborative partnership with Claire in 2007 at Dartington College of Art on the innovative MA Arts and Ecology. Together they continue to make audio journeys, radio broadcasts, drawings, sculptural installations and performative events, transcending the miles through internet technologies. The only thing they can’t share is a pot of tea.

Show 385: “Tanker” by François Martig from Radio Campus Bruxelles

“Tanker” de François Martig

FR/ Installation, installation sonore, documentaire radio ou photographique, le travail mouvant de François Martig trouve une forme qui s’adapte aux contextes, à la géographie et aux territoires rencontrés. Il s’agit toujours de sous-ligner ceux-ci plutôt que de s’y imposer. Ses préoccupations artistiques suivent un fil rouge qu’il appelle Robinsonhotel. Ce titre générique, pour un projet à long terme, interroge le paysage comme espace social, économique. François Martig a commencé à prendre des sons comme il capturait des images documentaires. L’usage intensif du médium sonore lui a permis de renforcer sa réflexion photographique sur la notion de parcours via la marche et d’opter pour une pratique active du paysage.

EN/ François Martig’s work uses a wide range of media, from sculptural and sound installations to radio documentaries and photography, in order to react on the specific social and geographical context in which it is shown. “Robinsonhotel”, the long-term project at the centre of Martig’s artistic practice, examines the landscape as a social, economical and political space which is subject to ongoing transformation. The artist is furthermore interested in site-specific sound broadcasting. In addition to his visual work, he produces live sound and music performances as well as soundtracks combining soundscapes, field recordings, electro-acoustic and noise music. Martig, who also works as a sound engineer for movies, has collaborated with numerous other sound artists such as Els Viaene, Philippe Petitgenet, Aymeric de Tapol and Mattin.

Mahayuga, Loise Bulot

An underground and air crossing to listen luxuriant forests, deserts and frozen worlds.
To hear a succession of internal landscapes, of vibrating chrysalis in luminous hatchings,
of wild animals shouting towards singing of Earth…

Loïse Bulot makes music from gathering sounds harvested in the course of time.
Her practice of electroacoustic music inserts instruments of the world and field-recordind.
