small worlds radia #300: the exclamation of a liliputian discovering gulliver + radia #263: miniatures

small worlds. a big issue!

bits'n'bytes of stories about small worlds, people, things:

"Whatever the power of words, we already are on the other side, where the universe of Swift, Verne, London mingle happily to embark us on a ship, drifting from the surface to the underwaters depths […]  A prism of preposterous stories with many fascinating animals coming from the dawn of time, just for traumatizing children." [L.B./T.R./F.P.]

and great sound miniatures. en gros:

"… to rub concrete materials to the spirit of the times, dipping into the fluctuating fonds of web, movies and songs.
28 minutes about a meeting between the instant and the unstable, unstructured and restructured songs, exiled voices and transitional piano …" [P.M./E.N.]

how great is that!

circuits radia #288: circuit 02 broadcast + radia #168: brussels international circuit bending orchestra

circuits. electricity. sound. and the high art of creating radio art from this.

living landscapes radia #285: hirondelle  + radia #85: emotional landscape

two living landscapes made from sound, unfolding into different dimensions:
a single swallow does not sing us from springtime – but carries us to and through an electromagnetic spectrum nesting the spirits of birds, insects and plants.

"While contemplating the mysterious life of the landscape, plants, birds,insects,we dive into the magnetic space where the swallows and echoes of things and their spirits live. There is iron and straw and the light's reflection on the water follows the eye, as the beating of the heart echoes through the landscape's melancholy." [B.R./A.S.]

and afterwards, as soul is a territory in its own rights as well, we're travelling further. emotions in motion. motions in emotion.
alexander nikof from skopje mixes processed guitar sounds and software synths.

"… it may disturb you or make you sleep. or may pass you by. take u to vast cosmos teritories or deep underground chambers… it's up to u… enjoy!" [A.N.]

beatriz rodrigues and antónio silva are two artists from viseu, portugal, working together as a couple.
they explore different types of media, such as sound and drawing.
making use of composition, balance, structure, simbolism, significance, rhythm, etc., they organize emotion and memory that lead us to non-places, abstract and shapeless spaces, in a mixture of noisy and melodic environments.

radiation roundabout radia #279 grazer walzer + radia #199 our domestic radiation

radiation roundabout:
a radio experiment ftom graz invites to a waltz. fragments and sounds in transformation and circulation dancing around and between the stations:

"In November 1998, Reni and Jogi Hofmüller went to visit their friends, then living in Ljubljana, Katarina Pejovic and Borut Savski. As they had all been involved in different ways in radio making, sound production, and experimenting, it was clear that – though there had not been the plan beforehand – they would go to Radio Student, to the Ministery of Experiment, and do precisely this: experiment […]" [R.H.]

while anna friz stays at home in her appartment, where strange frequencies are wandering around…

"A composition made from the imagined and actual intercepted fields of electro-magnetic and acoustic signals in and around my apartment in Toronto, Canada. This piece seeks to express some of the wireless action surging daily on site. I am particularly interested in the relative flatness and depth perceivable in both acoustic and Hertzian space, and in the diminishing horizon in the city as a result of urban design and an exponential increase in wireless infrastructure (or electro-magnetic clutter). Additional filters include mason jars, theremin, ring modulator, staged interference, and delay." [A.F.]

stalkers radia #273: history exhaustion + radia #193: the military landscape show

today we'll take a trip to the zone. no no man's land. but nevertheless lost.

first we'll join an expedition with no return:

"three friends search for an ominous radio station that transmits number sequences with mysterious messages. told is the expedition’s story through an area bearing names such as 'path of the invisible hand', 'stalin highlands' or 'post-modernist cave labyrinth'.
the characters – student, entrepreneur, skilled worker – lose their life or at least get lost under unpleasant circumstances…" [F.H.]

history exhaustion is the audio transformation of an installation francis hunger created in 2009, focussing on the subject of 'verausgabung' (exhaustion).
with the voice of richard cotter.

francis hunger is an artist, writer and curator. he lives in leipzig, germany. find out more about francis hunger and his work at www.irmielin.org
further information on the installation work 'history exhaustion' can be found at www.irmielin.org/works/history_exhaustion/index.htm
and at www.metro-berlin.net/index.php/francis-hunger-history-exhaustion-press-release

radia # 273: "history exhaustion" by francis hunger is a contribution by radiator x for radia art radio network
premiere week on radia: june 21-27, 2010

afterwards we walk military landscapes in different countries from alaska to new mexico:

"The sonic resonance that surround current and former military landscapes have intrigued artists working with sound. Memories of power and technology settle as an uneasy layer in these environments, creating opportunities for artists. I intend for this to be an on-going series, hopefully weaving in writings, interviews and inviting collaborations." [J.C.]

"military landscape" is a radio project curated and produced by jay cotter. with pieces by richard lerman and louise k. wilson.
