Show 152: Canticles of the First Floor by Pedro Coelho
This work crosses three layers:
1) Recording inside a taxi of excerpts of the “Bad Marriage Mantra”
(Erik Belgum) broadcast in Antena 2, with driver’s and passengers’
commentaries.
2) Fragments of the “Song of Solomon” (King James version) read by
Rich, Audrey and Claire; synthesized voices by AT&T.
3) Recordings selection of my first-floor neighbours, who emit in a
non-stop basis, in closed circuit, the most varied insults and agressions
which translation would become injurious.
There is also a dog and its transfiguration.
Show 151: minimal is beautiful by Patrick Thinsy
minimal is beautiful shorter piece. By sound artist Patrick Thinsy,Minimal tools, minimal effects, minimal production, minimal sound.
By using a mix of electronic sounds, field recordings and sounds from previous radioshows with the martiensgohome collective.
I tried to break away from my own (mis)-conception of radiophonic creation. It’s more written and edited than what you would expect from an improvising musician, but I believe the balance to be right.
Show 150: Giza é ruh
Giza é ruh is a music-/soundethnological project by kutin peter, lercher daniel & wilding barbara
the 3 artists travelled through various places of northern india for 3 months, doing field-recordings and were always seeking for native musicians. Alltogether they recorded around 70 hours of different material .
these recordings include religious music / ceremonies by buddhist, muslim, hindu and sikh culture
traditional music & instruments from tibet, ladakh & northern india
soundscapes of the natural enviromnment and it´s animals, or the massive collage of noises from india´s capital delhi, the silence that can be found in the himalayan mountain ranges, children singing, people praying, shouting, laughing, screaming, orakels healing or telling the future
sounds and instruments used by normads that travell through the vast deserts up in the himalayan mountains, and so much more…
the following radio play, which was created for radia, focuses on music & sounds that can be found in hinuduistic and buddhistic culture. So, while the first part consits only of
hindu-sounds & music , the second part is strictly buddhistic .

Show 148: by Stéphane Massy and Eddy Godeberge
In Radia 148, you’re going to jump from one recording to another that were made simultaneously at about 1000 kilometers away. It was October the 28th, 2007, from 9 to 9:20 pm CET.
In a studio in Marseille, Stéphane Massy and Eddy Godeberge (with engineer Sébastien Géli) played a few songs.
In a chapel in Brussels, an audience could hear them through the PA and the radio.
This is what almost happened but at the beginning it didn’t properly work. So Brussels and the world were waiting, filling unwillingly the blank. Meanwhile in Marseille, the artists wouldn’t care, they would just speak and play.
Stéphane Massy and Eddy Godeberge until recently hosted a monthly show on Radio Grenouille, ‘le Son du mois’ (the Sound of the month): a kind of news magazine made live with jokes, songs and gossip. They also play their songs in gigs and records as Tante Hortense and run the smart label Les Disques Bien.
Radia 148 is produced by Etienne Noiseau. It was intended to Radioactive Radiophony, a 4-hour show by the Radia network in the Radiophonic festival.

Show 145: RetroSonoGrafia II
Second part of the RetroSonoGrafia series. This time aimed at programs created, organized and supported by LemurieT.A.Z. during the year 2007.
The break of the year always tends to force people into evaluating past. This program is a result of Lemurie looking at the last year recordings and trying to get something new from them.
What you’re about to here in this show is a non-commented mix of most of the programs Lemurie produced, organised and initiated during the last year. Included are excerpts from regular radio jams [AUDIO BloKs], samples from Share events Lemurie co-organized and recordings from workshops [such as pirate-radio workshop we did in Bratislava]..
Thanks to everyone who participated and collaborated in 2007.
Special: 3 JOURNEYS THROUGH RADIA, JOURNEY 3 by Etienne Noiseau
Kunstradio asked Etienne Noiseau from the crew of Radio Grenouille in Marseille for a selection of recent pieces from Radia. He replied with a three-show series that would include the best pieces (to his opinion) of all the Radia stations during the 2006-2007 period. With Floriane Pochon who is the presenter of the weekly Radia show on Radio Grenouille, they selected fourteen pieces, i.e. one piece per Radia station during the period.
Then Etienne selected one relevant excerpt per piece. He based his choice only on sound affinities and combined all the excerpts one another into three pieces so as to form “3 journeys through Radia”.
JOURNEY 3:
Third and last path in the universe of Radia, mapping so many roads, opening all sources,,
Possibly, as if we could rely on the fixed-point theorem to solve a non-linear, partial, differential equation.
Third and last time,
Possibly, as if, by the sound of it, form could only be the content led to the surface,,
Possibly, as we were floundering down the mud of melted mirages,,
Third exile,
Possibly, as if electronic fears could mine the wasteland of bucolic daydreams.
Third excavation,
Possibly, as if speeches that do not bleed could prevent sense from circulating.
Possibly, as if we could brush past these sounds that are impossible to fossilize.
Third migration, within minutes, for the last seasonal influx,
Possibly, as if we could attempt to catch a fleeing hope and sew up the sky in a sigh, flapping of an eyelash.
