From 1st to 30th of October 2016 a great celebration of radio art will take place in Halle an der Saale in Germany: The Radio Revolten Festival. This Radia show is an invitation to visit Halle this autumn. A 20 minute performance by Radio Revolten curators Knut Aufermann, Anna Friz, Sarah Washington and Ralf Wendt, recorded for Arts Birthday in Vienna last January hopefully provides enough time to start researching your travel options. Come and join us in Halle!

Corax comes musically this month into the Radia universe: Johannes Westermann and Johann von Cargo (Halle/S.- E.-Germany) get pulled together again to show off with their misty tunes combined of two turntables and a synthesizer… and they call it Jakob-Duschek-Trio.

In this year 2015 is the 300 year anniversary of the birth of German Baroque Composer Georg Friedrich Händel, born 23 February, 1685 in Halle (Saale), Germany. And it is the 100 year anniversary of the death of Russian Pianist and Composer, Alexander Nikolajewitsch Skrjabin and also, on March 8 – celebrated around the world every year – International Woman`s Day. With this in mind, two members of a folk, pop Indie band, an actress and classical pianist student talk about „Art“, Music, the World and their place in it. Improv Breakfast is a conversation in three parts which developed naturally through an organic interview (process). If it can be said that: Art is where the line is always searching, then somewhere that line will bend – there will be overlap (of ideas, expressions). The interviewees are not in the same room at the same time, but they sometimes end up at the same place. The subjects are at once the interviewed and interviewer. The three sensory and tactile stories unfold and come together gradually and grow organically to somehow form a new story. Each of the interviewed say they forgot they were in an interview. The listener will hear with all the senses. And the current that runs through it all is breakfast of course! – where many good conversations begin.

Mexico City: more than 20 millions people gathered making noise!
A noisy city for most; Blume would like to transform it in a sonorous city.
The street sellers make the voices of the polyphonic choir, the small bell from the ice cream seller substitutes the triangle from the orchestra, and the hammering of the protesters on the metallic wall are the percussions.
In Mexico City, people shout to be heard, they shout their rage against the cops, they shout at the ‘lucha libre’ fights, they shout together ¡ Viva Mexico ! to feel united, and during a demonstration they also shout ¡Viva Mexico ! People shout in church, they pray together or alone, whispering in the silent night.
The thunder booms: nobody can shout at the storm, and the rain cleans the silent city.
A solo voice after the rain, and the choir resumes gradually.
People sing to forget and the shouting starts again, louder, so that the others don´t forget. The water flows under the city, the forgotten lake is mourning; it remembers when the city was an Island… On the top, it is too noisy, underneath, the water keeps in silence the secrets of the past.

INTENTION
Most of the people in the world live in cities. The daily soundscape is in most of the case a continuous sound of traffic, close or distant. Mexico City has a series of sounds added to the background which make the specificity of the city:
the cries and sounds of the street sellers are in most part responsible. In the past, most cities had their own cries (as some classical music can testify, like ‘Les cris de Paris’ from Janequin). In Mexico City, this tradition has persisted until today, but the government and general opinion is not in favour of them:
street sellers are each time further away from the touristic center, advertising campaigns are done to make them disappear from the subway, and police operations block their access to the streets. I would like to pay tribute to these Criers through a
soundscape of Mexico City, that will become a sonorous memory of a time that
sooner than later will disappear.

UIOR belongs to the experimental German-Russian Noiseart-scene and mixed a heaven&hell-set for Radio Corax and radia.fm

In the last years UIOR started to work with frequencies beyond our audible range – silent sounds effectively … – UIOR doesn’t work for music-labels anymore but joined different fine art ensembles in St. Petersburg and Tallinn.

The American composer Jason Freeman gave us the permission to use his online-violin-tool to play a concert for ghosts. So i tried to play with this and noises from the nights for ghosts. The voices gave Brian and Sarah Catling from Oxford. Let them in.

Ralf Wendt is living in Halle in East Germany and playing with animal voices, human voices and radio.

Musician and sound artists Hartmut Geerken lives in the middle of Bavaria in Wartaweill and works with the sounds of surrounding nature. His ways to communicate with the animals are the present to celebrate the 400th Radia show this week. We follow Geerken into a nest of bumblebees and listen to the queen and all the smart insects while having breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Is »accumoolation« just the accu-moola for vintage lean production?

Accumulation seems to find its expression sometimes directly in instruments and media. Loopers boosted one-man bands and street music stars over the last years. They enable to “play with oneself” by an implemented write/read and repeat function that allows to double productivity and voluminousness. They are the incorporated “Single-Labourer-Working-In-Teams-Unit”. How does it sound to batch and batch and batch by means of this mean of production?

art for animals
by Ralf Wendt
developed for live-performance in october 2011, inside the festival kunst fuer tiere for Zoopark – these files are parts of longer compositions for different beasts in the zoopark. We listen to sounds for elefants, chile-flamngos, Humboldt-penguins, seabears, Degus, Waldrapps- northern bald Ibis, snow-owls, other owls and falcons.
Wendt works in Halle and often due to the human beast or the imagination of zoo-nature and city-nature.
