Imagine a time were bananas rule countries, and onions make peaches cry. Imagine a time where all Kofi Annan can do about bad middle eastern restaurant victims is to send his sympathy words. Imagine how Fidel Castro bowel sounds like and you should have a glimpse on what this show is all about. It’s not a timeless piece, it’s a show about today, about what is happening right now! In a quite alternative fashion, japur and d’Lay improvise some tunes while making no sense at all. They also play some songs that best describe the world today: were a joyfull meaning can be found in bowel cancer. Music, portuguese poetry and congentitallearned stupidity. This is a show about today!
Show 071: Les Nuits Blanches du Capitaine by Jacques Foschia
Musicien improvisateur (London Improvisers Orchestra,Canaries, PIM, Bohman family) il développe depuis quelques années une approche particulière du médium radiophonique.
Ses travaux les plus récents (Orchestre téléphone, Microphonic) *www.microphonic.be* témoignent de son intérêt pour les processus mettant en relation les phénomènes sonores dans une dynamique mobile et migratoire.
Fidèle au poste, il a collaboré aussi à la webradio japonaise Kinesonus et réalise des pièces sonores pour la webradio Silenceradio depuis sa création. Il anime aussi avec son complice Alain Bolle une émission (Kwad9) sur la radio associative bruxelloise radiopanik. Elément
bruitiste et sonore de la “brocante sonore” récemment constituée (en trio avec Alain Bolle et Anthony Carcone), il est aussi membre de l’Atelier de création sonore radiophonique basé à Bruxelles.

Présentation de la “fiction”
LES NUITS BLANCHES DU CAPITAINE
Fiction sonore en trois épisodes.
Les éléments textuels servent de guide à l’écoute. Le capitaine évolue essentiellement dans un milieu liquide et flottant. L’usage de matériaux sonores qui y font constamment référence (le capitaine échoue dans un océan d’ondes éléctromagnétiques et termine sa course sur une plage de vinyl) submerge l’auditeur et l’emmène dans sa dérive.
Découpage:
1) Perdition:
Le capitaine évite le naufrage de justesse, sort d’ un comas éthylique avancé, négocie un mouillage plus sûr en même temps qu’il se vôtre dans la luxure avec la fille de Pharaon.
2) Meurtre à la foreuse
Le ménage prend l’eau…la scène vire au tragique et fini dans un bain de sang. Ici, on ne sait pas qui est la victime: l’homme, la femme ou une tièrce personne – en l’ ocurence l’auditeur.
3) La chanson du capitaine
Le capitaine rame tout seul sur une plage de vinyl et entame son chant de litanie…les chants les plus beaux sont les plus déseperés. Rôdent autour de lui une nuée de corbeaux noirs.

Show 068: Hymne aux scories
Hymne aux scories (literally Anthem to scoriae) is made of plundered European nations anthems, spoken words and noise generator. Hymne aux scories is a kind of photographic DIY: snapshots that would look at each other, stolen and ready for transformation.
According to Eva Jacobi, “This is concerned with what have now left us: a paradoxical essence of the phenomenon of communication _and always-renewed disorder. These radiographic pictures come from the best and the worth, so as to present fictive but very living acts.”
Eva Jacobi is Olga Tüdjnik’s harpist – a duet with Fabrice Cesario. Olga Tüdjnik consists of the preparation of a material which has been elaborated in the course of a stage process through theatrical acts. It is an important source of the noise generator used in the making of this program.
Show 067: mishmash
mishmash of recorded and found sounds
the sound files are originating from different sources, films (jacques tati, czech TV), recordings from a festival in an old monastery in west bohemia (Plasy) mixed with no apparent pattern
Show 066: transitliteratur
recorded in the car on the truck-route from vienna to bratislava
transitliteratur is a project where small pieces of literature are placed on transit-trucks. the idea is to use trucks as mobile-media-platform. this radia programme is the auditive attempt of this idea.
during the recording of radia#66 transitliteratur our recording-team followed transit trucks on the way from vienna to bratislava. we were in contact with around 15 people via our cell-phone. by the time the car passed a truck, one of them supplied us with a small reading. the texts had been read in 8 languages (russian, serbian, italian, spanish, english, german, czech, hungarian). the whole project is in realtime and has not been edited.
enjoy the sound of the truck-route between the closest capitals in europe. not the vatikan and rome, but vienna and bratislava.
a real-time radia work by ernst reitermaier, barbara kaiser, and lale rodgarkia-dara.
Show 065: booming beatbox
by Mark Boombastik & Silvaezta Foturo
Show 064: Histoire d’eau by Christophe Modica
Christophe Modica is a photographer, filmmaker and sound artist.
He made a piece ignoring the borders between countries, treating as equals language and sound, music and voice, as a water sound doesn’t need a translation. There is no secret “Histoire d’eau” is a work on water. Water feeds, washes, it can lack or overflow. Drought kills, so does a tidal wave. With the current, from ebb to flow, through health, hydration, struggle and waste, life is in a floating balance.
