do robots dream of…?
radia #395: RITOPEK + radia #286: personal number station
[pls. scroll down for english version]

Eine akustische Exkursion durch Serbien.
Eine deformierte Landschaft miteinander kurzgeschlossener Schaltkreise, in der Roboter träumen und wohl eher von einer elektrischen Revolution als von elektrischen Schafen träumen.
Im Anschluss erfreuen uns das Disphilharmonia Sound Quartet und sein empfindsamer Roboter mit einem in der Tat revolutionären gefälschten Zahlensender.

RITOPEK von Karl Heinz Jeron ist eine GUNSTproduktion von radiator x für das internationale Kunstradio-Netwerk radia.fm
und wird in der Woche vom 22. bis 28. Oktober 2012 als radia #395 (saison 29) von den beteiligten Stationen des Netzwerks ausgestrahlt.

[english]

An acoustic field trip through Serbia
– a distorted landscape of bent circuits where robots whisper while sleeping and dreaming of an electrical revolution rather than of electrical sheep.

"During my three weeklong vacation in 2012 I visited Žagubica, Beograd and Požarevac in Serbia.
And while I was there I made some field recordings
processed with Audacity
partially changed pitch and tempo
cut into pieces
put together again.

in the second part, we'll enjoy another time the fake numbers station set up by the Disphilharmonia sound quartet quintet from Skopje:

"Initially, we are a laptop quartet of five individuals, one robot (barely automated, slightly sentient) and four fleshy humans. Furthermore we host a radio show on Kanal 103 in Macedonia which usually contains much of what we do in our separate electronic production projects, alternative ego's, or what we do with Disphilharmonia. Since music is taken very lightly lately, we consider that the act of listening to music/sounds should return to a more primitive time where it represents a totem, a symbol of gathering around which special attention should be invested. Our live performances attempt to create this effect by accentuating the visual part, forcing audience to participate with more senses, ritualizing the act of listening music. This time, for Radia, we prepared an almost fake Numbers Station live, that relays a secret message, when converted/cracked and sent to our mail, results in access to not-yet-released materials of Disphilharmonia and/or affiliates."
