Show 156: by Roman Stetina and Lasonick
track 1:
Roman Stetina – “Who is done it”
Nights awakened, nights of headache, nights suffered, and nights I was dying. Endless, unheard conversations… whisper that ends at dawn. Blindness the eyes get used to. Shadows of events. Nights delicate, clear, nights flown about. Time does not flow, but runs and leaps. I let the radio on. My sphincter clenched, hot asphalt, bare feet and the ripple of the brook. Gravel between my toes. I am standing in my pajamas in a dried puddle.

Lasonick – “I was listening wind of Himalaya in My former life…”

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 .
on the artist´s homepage www.dirac.cc you can find more information about “giza é ruh” and even download a pdf – file which includes detailed information about the sounds appearing in the following radio-play.

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.
