“Each space has the potential to expand the perception of a sound.This program departs from several artists own descriptions and reflections on specific spaces to expand the long debate on architectural and acoustic space while simultaneously keeping the focus in the listening experience.”

Show 117: Two turntables to make one landscape by Pedro Lopes
From all the possible outcomes this is just one of them. Two turntables to make one landscape.
The turntables has a companion history with radio. For a long time, before the advent of clean and sanitized studios and the contact with the physical record was abstracted to bits and bites, the needle jumped on the groove and squided through the spiral of sound. Pedro Lopes paired two of these old tools of work and made them talk to each other. From all the possible outcomes this is just one of them. Two turntables to make one landscape.
Show 105: Spokern Word by radiosonora
“What’s a word? A sound? Air throw into the air? This is a program with words,
their meaning layered by their perception and the underlying music, another
kind of language and words.”
By radiosonora.
Show 083: assembly line story
What kind of space is build by mixed references and what story can be build with them?
This lie that I bring you is a deception on senses. Like hidden small children hitting keys on a loose keyboard behind a curtain in front of an intelectual assistance. Well, what kind of “great art” do they perceive? Another way to put it is to go to a party and jump around conversations. Call it collage, call it pastiche but also composing and directing. It’s all about this: cut this bit here and join it there and present it through this very small door opening. What does it mean? The answer is, off course, between each pair of ears.
Show 072: today
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 062: Dubphasing
We attempted to create a composition based on delayed, transformed and modulated sounds, sounds that range from stationary to repetitionary stages, from low to high frequencies range.
Our experience can be seen as an attempt to deceive our states of vigilance,
an attempt to offense and breach our routines, in order to question ourselves about what is really surrounding us.
This piece was created by Tiago Andrade and Filipe Campos, from Radio Zero.
Show 052: a travellog of the radio sprectrum by Luis Silva
One of the motivations of art is undoubtly an affirmation about human relations. This program is an experiment and a call-out for people to send their messages to the airwaves. You can figure it out to be just a political stance but it is more properly viewed as a demonstration of the use of radio for voicing opinions and points of view. The program is by Luis Silva, one of Radio Zero programmers.
