Show 039: wien wie es klingt by Gerhard Rühm

“wien wie es klingt” by Gerhard Rühm

the radioplay “wien wie es klingt” places 24 significant listening spots of the austrian capital vienna into the framework of a daily routine – something like an acoustic equivalent to two sets of postcards. it begins in the early morning with the arrival at the railway station. the thematic middle of the piece is marked by the ringing of the bells of st. stephen’s cathedral in the center of the city at noon, and the piece ends in the late evening with the departure from the airport at schwechat. strewn in between is a tourist programme which could hardly be accomplished in one day. a compressed 47 minute sequence was distilled from the 12 hours of recording and arranged roughly chronologically with regard to normal visiting times in the morning, afternoon, and evening but precluding any kind of realistic plot by making geographical leaps all over the city. Produced in 1991/1992 for the series METROPOLIS at the WDR, Köln (Studio for Akustischer Kunst) in co-production with ORF Kunstradio, Wien.

Show 035: song about a bird by Marko Stoimenov and friends

part one: song about a bird
artist: marko stoimenov and friends

song about a bird was started as experimental film project. its recorded at marko stoimenovs (video artist) apartment in belgrade when he and his friends was having fun after some film festival or after party… and spontaneously started to shoot things that they were doing with a camera. his room is surrounded with dvd surround system so when they were shooting the stuff they were playing, sound was delayed thru the surround system, going in circle and making strange delay effect. they were playing guitar, other strange home prepared instruments and stuff that produces sound as well as singing. a girl from brazil was singing lyrics from some song called about a bird which can be the name of this project. other markos friends were included, like artist vladimir lukash from skopje. you can also hear singing and talking on serbian and macedonian. marko showed me this videos when i was staying at his place in belgrade and i was thinking that it is really interesting also as a sound. exactly there is a story behind this brazilian poem but i cant remember what was it… listen to it and imagine the story. its up to u… as always

Show 031: by Not That Kyd

An attempt at radio art, this program purposes to make you shake in your seat. You might get angry you might want to hug someone, you might want to cover your ears or you might just sit back and listen.
Our host, Kyd, thought its partly inappropriate that a foreigner be making a Bulgarian show so she invited a special Bulgarian guest. Donku is a private music teacher who trained at the Bulgarian National Academy for Music. He shared with us his thoughts about the sounds he was listening.
So join us and enjoy your waffles, glitches, creeping ivy and have the funniest 56 minutes ever.

Show 030: framework by patrick mcginley

framework is a show consecrated to field recording, and its use in composition. this edition (constructed specially for the radia network) brings you a one-hour continuous soundscape consisting entirely of untreated field recordings from the host’s collection, and culminates with the premiere of a recent composition (which shares its name with the program), ‘framework 1’.
