[english]

sound rooms.
architectures without walls, waste lands inside. landscapes with unexpected, (relational) views…

first we'll join achim lengerer and dani gal on a trip to wimbledon.

in the early 1970ies the british artist william furlong started to map the terrain of contemporary art by collecting acoustic data. his recordings and interviews became the medium of his artistic practice and the basis of a life long research.
for their project “relational view” achim lengerer and dani gal visited william furlong in his archive of sounds and voices. later the recordings of this visit were transformed into an audio space.

relational (audio (rv av rv)) is based on the audio part of the audio-visual installation "relational view", presented by lengerer and gal at smart poject space in amsterdam in 2007.
in spring 2009, during a studio grant at frankfurter kunstverein, achim lengerer was invited by GUNSTradio. according to the idea to further explore lengerers relations to audio arts, drawing upon william furlong and his "audio arts" project went along with re-visiting, re-playing and discussing larger parts of the "relational View" audio. becoming a central part of a radio programme seemed almost natural for the piece. thus decision was made to further develop this perspective and to create a radio programme in its own right for radia.

the title of the show draws back to this development, pointing out the conceptual layers of an audio space itself containing other spaces and perspectives – audio-visual, imaginary and real.

afterwards renee sills and kyd campbell take us to montréal mountain.

"Renee Sills sometimes performs under the moniker Miss Matches [….]. For radia, she took on the courageous task of creating one full lenght piece and it turned out greater than the great Canadian Mountains. The piece goes up and down with ever changing landscape like the jagged mountains do too. For any of you who have never been to Montreal, well this show also look at lot like there. [….]"

Renee Sills is interested in exploring the possibilities available for sharing within a radio network and this is apparent sonically throught this piece. Again this is Renee Sills. She's from Colorado, she lives in Montreal, she owns an accordeon and she want to visit Bulgaria.
