IT-Solaris
by Johannes Krause and Claus Stoermer

Solaris is a mixture of pictures. The pictures came from the film by Andrej Tarkowskij and is based on the story by Stanislaw Lem - Johannes Krause and Claus Stoermer were inspired by the splattering memories of that doing the piece we can hear in the next half an hour.

It's partly German- dont mind. It's partly spoken- dont mind. It's partly voiced by Ralf Wendt- dont mind. It's the other world in less than 30 minutes.
All the material is based on the recorded voice.
Have fun with the raw German language.

Stiller Marktschrei (silent exclamation from the market) by Stephan Roth

- playing from april 20th to april 26th, 2009 -

After a special birthday jingle of Barbara Kaiser and a moderation from
Lale Rodgarkia-Dara you will hear the show from the artist Stefan Roth invited by Radio Orange:

Stiller Marktschrei - silent exclamation from the market

Time-transformations are obliged to music and sonic reception. On July
19th 2008 the soundartist Stephan Roth, co-curator of the ?Elektronik
Teatime?, produced a sound-installation at the SOHO-projektwerkstatt, a
free artist-space near a grocery market in Vienna.

For 12hours he focussed his microphones soberly onto the Brunnenmarkt in
Vienna, a local fruit- and vegetables market. He subverts gently the
receptiveness of the listeners by transforming 12 hours recording
footage into one slow dynamic wave of 27minutes. Transformation without
reduction.

For the installation he and the artist Martin Roth filled the white
space with found material: typical grocery market packaging. All kinds
of packaging-cases and plastic bags. Pilled up cases were filled with
plastic-bags, that where moving and breathing, hardly perceivable.

Nine Nights in Newcastle

- playing week 16 from April 13th to April 19th, 2009 -

The AV festival 2008 in Newcastle included three festival radio stations. To avoid having to program nine nights with playlist material I offered to build a sound installation that would fill the radiospace with its live output. The installation was loosely based on Lee De Forest's invention of the vacuum tube by only using feedback between audio and radio equipment to create sounds.

Two of the three festival radio stations (Resonance FM at MIMA in Middlesbrough and Soundscape FM in Sunderland) were created especially for the festival, the third was a recently established community radio station in Newcastle. After two nights of broadcasting the sound installation the Newcastle station became too concerned about the loyalty of their listeners and reverted back to their usual europop night loop. Kunstradio's Heidi Grundmann commented that she was surprised that we got that far at all and declared our attempts revolutionary.

So here are the nine nights in Newcastle again in condensed format, ready to test the loyalty of your listeners, whatever that is.

A show brought to you by Knut Aufermann for Resonance.FM London

The Container project

Broadcast 6th - 12th April

The Brussels Universities ULB and VUB are occupied by hundreds of sans papiers who demand a regulation of their situation. Since the end of January most of them are on a hunger strike. On wednesdsay 18 March, the sad anniversary of a coalition agreement that never became practice, art students together with Brussels actors, musicians and writers organised an event on the Place de la Monnaie: the Belgian state originated there, the sans papiers had learned the national anthem in the three offical languages. A blue container was placed in front of the opera house and during that whole day the container was a podium, a concert hall, a monument and a radio station.

Produced by Martine Ketelbuters and Jan Bulckaen, with the voices of the Sans Papiers, Thomas Bellinck, Willy Thomas, Benjamin Verdonck, Thomas Devos and Brussels musicians.

Even The Dead Wear Headphones – Radia Edit

Broadcast 30th March - 5th April

Recorded live at the London College of Communication, 12 March 2009.

Ed Baxter writes: This is a large-scale ensemble work which relies on bricolage. It follows the traditional (quite English) detective procedural format, chosen for ease of generating material. The script was developed in a couple of sessions with John Wynne's undergraduate students at the LCC. About ten of them contributed to the text in one way or another, ranging from small ideas to large portions of the finished dialogue. Others worked on gathering sound effects, providing incidental and live music and sound beds. Others still worked on the technicalities. Some people did a lot, and a few didn't turn up. We recorded it in one take as a 45 minute piece, with some longish scenes designed to be edited in the Radia mix. The final take was interrupted by a fifteen minute forced break (computer malfunction, inevitably) which threatened to destroy the momentum of the performance. No one of the performers (about 25 of them) could hear the whole thing as it unfolded, so there was a lot of trial and error and guesswork involved. The idea was that by sticking precisely to the script it would somehow work. In this edit you can hear the joins, flaws and false starts. I think it has enough charm to get by – and apologise in advance to the majority of Radia listeners for the very English and very text based nature of the work. Thanks to John Wynne for the gig, Ciaran Harte for his Wellesian vision, Chris Weaver for support and Nick Hamilton for the edit.

Radia Season 19 show 208 "In the name of Science" from Kanal103, Skopje

playing week 13 from mon 23rd to sun 29th march 2009

In a dark and dusty basement in suburban Skopje, we have found an analogue AM radio receiver dating from 1954. Tinkering with the knobs we scanned Europe's AM airwaves and recorded the process. The first half of the show is some of the raw recording, while the second are two tracks made by experimental artists Andrej Ancevski (AHz) and Martin Anastasovski using the only the recorded samples as generated sounds, layered and run through various effects.

Andrej Ancevski/Andreas Hz is an electronics engineer, music producer and everything in between. Likes to listen to radio and the world around him, tinker with machines and gadgets, play some music to nice people in clubs and sip martini when no one is looking.

Radia Season 19 show 207 "Sparkles" from Soundart Radio, Dartington, UK

Lucinda writes: This is a joint effort from several artists, some pieces made for Soundart Radio's "First Spark" festival in February 2009, remixed here for Radia.
We thought we'd celebrate switching on our new transmitter (1000 times more powerful than the old one) by remembering the forgotten festival of Imbolc, and the first stirrings of light and warm weather. You'll hear me going on about this in the introduction to the show and making some excuse about being a rural station.
So this show starts with Chris Mockridge's recording of building and lighting a fire in their (old, cold) home... then an Imbolc piece by Jackie Juno, like me she's interested in new ways of engaging with these ancient festivals http://brianabbott.info/jackie_juno.htm
Then there's quite a big chunk of our new neighbour Ergo Phizmiz's "The invention of Birds" which was an installation in the Dartington Gallery www.ergophizmiz.com actually this bit is from the opening night so it's Ergo and DJ Salinger together sort of DJing along to the installed piece. I didn't intend to use quite so much of it but it was hard to choose a short bit. There's a bit more of it later on.
Then there's "For Emma" a spoken word thing by Isobel Anderson, who used to be a student here www.myspace.com/isobelanderson
There's a thing by Joe Prosser, a writing student here at Dartington... does it have a title? I don't know.
Lastly "For Bridget" by Graham Burchell www.gburchell.com Bridget is St. Bridget and a goddess too, the "Bridie" that Jackie mentioned earlier in the show and Imbolc is her time.

Radia s 19 show # 206 from Radio Campus Bruxelles
A show in collaboration with Silence radio (www.silenceradio.org).

- broadcasted by radia member stations from march 9th to march 15th, 2009 -

We are inviting you to a travel through 3 sound pieces from 3 different belgian artists, realised within the "soundscape forever" project.

1 - "Ruisselle" from Philippe Vandendriessche ( fév 2007 - 1'49 )

"Sur les hauteurs de Spa, un plateau enneigé et désert, une rivière gelée, qui coulait sous un vitrail de glace transparente. Des cavités s'étaient formées et l'eau faisait des mouvements de remplissage et de vidange dans des sortes de bouteilles de glace."

"Surroundings of Spa town. A deserted plateau covered in snow, a frozen river that runs through this transparent ice window. Cavities had formed and water was then doing some mouvements to fill and empty those imaginary iced bottles."

2 - "Greetings from Italy" from Damien Magnette (Sept 2008 - 4'12)

"During the disorganised trip, our guide had messed around with road maps and itinaries. The "souvenir" diaporama will then finally be one mosaic landscape. "

"Pendant ce voyage désorganisé, notre guide a brouillé la carte et retourné le plan.
Le diaporama souvenir sera finalement un seul paysage, réalisé en mosaïque."

3 - "Nous, les défunts" from Yannick Dauby,( Sept. 08, 18''55)

"Temple de Longshan à Taipei, septième mois du calendrier lunaire. Nous revenons, affamés, dans leur cité. Ils nous consacrent leurs récitations, leurs choeurs. Ils démultiplient les nourritures spirituelles. Nous errons un peu, puis ils nous guident jusqu'à la rivière en de longues processions. Bientôt nous nous réconcilierons avec eux et calmerons nos plaintes, avant de repartir dans le Royaume Inférieur."

"Longshan Temple, Taipei, 7th month of the moon calendar. We come back, starved, in their city. They offer us some lectures, some songs. They multiply spiritual foods. We walk around a bit, then they guide us though the river in long processions. Soon we will reconciliate with them and calm down our moanings before going to the Inferior Kingdom."

Season 19, show 205: "Radiodance Opus.01:"Y Do B?"", by F? Ribeiro, for Rádio Zero
[www.radiozero.pt]
broadcast from March 2nd to the 8th

From São Paulo, Brasil, for Rádio Zero, brasilian artist F? Ribeiro made Radiodance Opus.01"Y Do B?". You can check more of his work @ http://sons.maquinas.com.mx

Show description:
Radiodance Opus.01"Y Do B?" starts from the voice, the presence of the verb and the dance of electromagnetic fields to compose a body program of synaesthetic flexing of the body limits, it's listening s and gestures. In the metaphysical inversion of the body (udob), the representation of the clash of embodiment springs a question: why do we keep insisting on engineering the "being"? Why do we still believe in artistic performance when it has no longer the power to update the world? We ask the listener to watch his body with utmost attention during the broadcast and dance.

Voices (heard and un-heard): Veridiana Zurita, Julia Rocha, Daniel Fagundes, Daniela Dini, Gabriel Kolyniak, Guilherme do Vale, Chico Science, Frank Zappa, Key Sawao, Ricardo Iazzetta, Vivian Caccuri, Katherine Strandberg, entre outras.

Radiodance Opus.01:"Y Do B?" parte da voz em si, da presença do verbo e da dança dos campos eletromagnéticos para compor um programa corporal de flexão sinestésica dos limites do corpo, suas escutas e seus gestos. Na inversão metafísica dos corpos (body=ydob), a representação dos choques da fisicalidade que gestam os sons, surge uma questão simples: por que insistimos na feitura do ser? Por que ainda acreditamos na atuação artística mesmo quando esta já não possui nenhuma potência de atualização do mundo? Pede-se ao ouvinte que preste máxima atenção ao seu corpo durante a audição e dance.

Vozes auditas e inauditas:
Veridiana Zurita, Julia Rocha, Daniel Fagundes, Daniela Dini, Gabriel Kolyniak, Guilherme do Vale, Chico Science, Frank Zappa, Key Sawao, Ricardo Iazzetta, Vivian Caccuri, Katherine Strandberg, entre outras

Season 19, show 204: “Incidental Parallels” by Pôm Bouvier B. from Radio Grenouille

Thu, 23 Apr 2009 20:21:10 GMT

Season 19, show 204: “Incidental Parallels” by Pôm Bouvier B. from Radio Grenouille [grenouille888.org]
broadcast February 23rd - March 1st

“For some time and repeatedly, I've been travelling through 3 cities: Paris- Brussels- Berlin.
In each city I spend at least one week to fix a route that can be disturbed by incidences. An incidence means a digression and it is also the point where a line meets a surface. I accept all those incidences that divert me from my route. And I translate them into sound through a topographical portrait of the cities.”

Pôm Bouvier B. lives and works in Marseille. She has followed an atypical path through music. From listening to very diverse music, to scenography, video and theatre performance, she finally settled in electroacoustic music.
