A season of 24 hour installation through Autumn 2010
Our ears are just as keen any day of the week, but this show is a specific slot for progressive developments and time based performances- a weekly opportunity to break out of the boundaries of radio schedules, to let a sound continue until it drives us mad or we love it completely. It could be the ideas’ simplicity that carries it... just a dripping tap. Or its complexity... a multitude of voices, overlapping, never repeating. It could be a live installation of insects close to the mic, or electronic noise buzzing away to itself.Do you have work that could be broadcast? Contributions for sonic installation are welcome.
soundscapes, pointless noises, different types of silence, pretentious twaddle, nature, voices, boring stuff, drones, fuzzy fluff. Breathing, sighing, sleeping, eating, listening, waking up and going outside. Washing machines, computers, newspapers, floorboards, stuck records and broken toys. Non radio for a switched off audience. Unfinished work welcome. Please show your support of small stations, though this mail is a outreach across the globe- share share share.
For more information and to contribute please contact jenny@soundartradio.org.uk

'Waste Land', a real world mataphor for their radio bodies .... work by Uta Baldulf and Christy O'Donnell- listen in, get lost, find yourself.... this sunday 3rd october artists Uta Baldauf and Christy O'Donnell share their work 'Wasteland'.
Wasteland is a radio program the two artists present on Stroud fm, and this recording is from a interactive event held from the SVA shop front Stroud, where they created a installation to explore ideas of location, space, place, the local, the global, and timelessness.
The artists write of their work:
"By lack of structure a situation is created in space, which can liberate us beyond stereotypical expectations of radio and allow free expression of the moment. This philosophy and approach was applied to the wasteland exhibition, in which we created a metaphor installation of the radio show that mixed our own visual praxis with radio activity. One of the concepts which underpins the project is to have a set up that is structured in a way that allows boredom to become the starting point and catalyst for creative expession. The wasteland is a messy chaotic repetitive loud and silent installation, which may present the potential of infinite directions." Uta and Christy

Slapstick Foreskin: Anything of Everything can be viewed as sensitive, highly elastic nonsense, featuring elements of raw noise, experimental free jazz doodlings, spoken word & a slice of conceptual game show silliness, along with plentiful absurd flights of fancy, and a bi...t of Max Bygraves thrown in for good measure.....NICE!

Artist, cultural instigator, Radia founding member Ricardo Reiss.
We replay 8 works composed for a community audio project for Radio Zero:
"I've done these radio programmes for Radio Zero in 2006. They are like mantle pieces done with my own recordings and others found on the net under a cc or ...public domain license, the analogy with the idea of 'turning the dial' in a forlorn, forgotten sentry post in the desert."
Delightful!
Also, a work called 'You go Where You Should Go', by the same artist, of which he says, "This piece was done for a dance performance by Hajime Fujita, a Japanese contemporary dancer that I meet in Porto, in 2009, during Future Places Festival (although he was using the same space, Maus Hábitos in Porto, he is unrelated to the festival as far has I know). He used it in a performance in the 3rd Encounter of Performative Arts promoted by Contagiarte in 2009. I've used several sound recordings I had done in Trás-os-Montes, Lisbon and Germany

Benjimin Federer... .Klang:Zeit:Klang
Where sonification usually is employed to make abstract data sets comprehensiblle through audibilty,sound installation Klang: Zeit : Klang is an artistic take on the passing of time.Since our whole life is more or less dictated by the clack-clack-clock- does it have to sound that boring all the time? Would we recognise something familiar in listening deeper down into it? Is there something like a inner soul, something like a life of its own to it? Klang : Ziet : Klang provides the listener with a constantly but slowly changing sound mix, All sounds are generated in real time, with time and date being the only source material. Every little time division has it's own sound, from the hour down to minutes, seconds, milliseconds, and beyond. By combining these sounds to an ever shifting mix, a music of its own arrises. (First presented on radio loRa, Zurich's Nachtschichten as part of reserach programme, NOWII of HGK Zurich,. Klang : Zeit : KLang was on air everynight, and without interuption from January 23rd to Feburary 6th 2006)...for more information visit www.intraversal.de/en/
