Show 1098: Radio Tecnicolor by Stefan Nussbaumer & Georg Zichy (Radio Orange 94.0)

Leave a comment

The Vienna-based Radia Collective presents the live session “Radio Tecnicolor” featuring Stefan Nussbaumer and Georg Zichy. You are listening to a recording from 9 April 2026 at Basislager – Stefan Nussbaumer’s studio in 1150 Vienna. The concert was produced specifically for Radia transmission no. 1098. The performance can also be viewed in the following video:

You will hear an interweaving of sound and image, in which the video data controls the sound. There is a digital and analogue feedback loop, and radio sounds serve as the connecting element. An app programmed by Stefan Nussbaumer converts colour data into OSC signals. In this way, the sound is controlled by 54 pixels and two human beings.

Concept, production & performance: Stefan Nussbaumer & Georg Zichy
Video & audio recording: Lale Rodgarkia-Dara
Mixing: Karl Schönswetter

Show 1074: Funkfeuer (Wiener Radia Kollektiv, Radio Orange 94.0)

Leave a comment

What became of the Library of Alexandria? It seems to have fallen victim to the flames. Just like our beautiful jingle. Only remnants of it remain, because we allowed ourselves to play with fire in this programme. We were amazed at how many levels there are links between the element of fire and radio! It starts with the German word “Funkfeuer” (radio beacon) and ends with Telefunken and lightning. We enjoy the convivial warmth of the campfire and marvel at electromagnetic inventiveness.

A programme featuring sonic illusions and surprising parallel universes.

Production and recordings by Barbara Huber, Barbara Kaiser, Fabi Lux, Stefan Nussbaumer & Karl Schönswetter. Contains industrial recordings by kwandalist.

Arrangement & mixing by Karl Schönswetter.
