The two audio pieces by Yngvild Rolland presented in this weeks Radia show are based on material from Jean-Luc Godard’s film Weekend (1967).

The first excerpt, titled The Study of a Killing, is a sampled and modified score using sound directly from the film. The second excerpt is from Untitled. Deconstructed Languages. The piece is the result of a continuous change of language, where film dialogue has been translated to text, this text has then been translated to three languages and published as the book weekendWEEKENDWeek-End (2014). Then the published texts have been translated to sound using a Typatune. Another modified version of the sound is combined with an altered scene from the film Weekend in the video Death, Disaster and Expensive Handbags (2010).

Yngvild K. Rolland is a Norwegian artist exploring various media, languages and their connections. She is educated in London and Oslo.

Teddy Love by Hans Kristen Hyrve
for Radio Nova, Oslo

Teddy Love is a homage to modern urges. To your needs. To every listener’s distant longing. Do not resist interactivity; please answer when spoken to, please do as you’re told. That way our common pleasure will reach a modern kind of high.

Hans Kristen Hyrve makes short radio pieces for the National Norwegian Broadcasting (NRK) on a daily basis. Composes music weekly.

The artists Stian Ådlandsvik and Lutz-Rainer Müller invited two musicians from the Swedish Chamber Orchestra on a road trip from Leipzig to Örebro to play music composed by Johann S. Bach in the car. In this movable mini-concert house, a flute and a cello played compositions written by Bach hundreds of years ago, while the Mercedes engine played the compositions of the motorway. Travelling through three countries, the audience for this concert was maybe just the distance and the velocity of the motorway. Just like the speed of the car blurs details, human memory clouds events, time and distance. One can attempt to hold on to the memories, but the fading starts almost immediately, and goes on to rearrange and delete, until only fragments are left. The recording of this 16 hour drive/concert was compressed to a 30 minutes long sound art piece that reflect on movement, speed and memory.

Stian Ådlandsvik (b.1981) and Lutz-Rainer Müller (b. 1977) have worked together since 2006 and both hold degrees from the Oslo Academy of Fine Art. Ådlandsvik also attended the Hochschule für bildende Künste, Hamburg and Müller attended the Art Academy of Bergen and also holds a degree from the Muthesius Kunsthochschule in Kiel. Their collaborative work process often originates in particular situations or contexts which they either create for themselves or which they react on. As trusted collaborative partners, they use the very circumstance of them working together as a starting point for new ideas. Their reflection upon the collaboration itself becomes a key feature in their work. As a duo, they have exhibited broadly throughout Europe. They live and work in Oslo and Leipzig.

Oro is a sound piece by Cecilia Hultman (b. 1985) for Radio Nova and Radia, which takes its title from the Swedish word for unrest.

Cecilia Hultman is a Swedish visual artist, concentrated on definitions and associative representation, often with geography and geology related reflections inserted.
Hultman claims that scientific descriptions often works as poetry and choose
to see upon associations as a productive way of finding new meanings
about our existence. Most of her work is based on drawing and she
likes to think about her art practice as a method of both getting closer
and getting distanced to reality. Concentration, presence, precision
and time is important components within Hultman’s work.
