48-hour Radio Art Festival: On Air On Site. 3 pm, April 15

Radio Art Festival “On Air On Site” starts tomorrow, April 14!
Live Radio at Institute of Sonology.
Curated by Margherita Brillada and Leonie Roessler

On Air -On Site #1 is a sound investigation of a temporary radio event consisting of a broadcast schedule of 48 hours of non-stop streaming, including live performances/shows, fixed media, and prerecorded work specifically composed for the festival.By re-thinking radio as an exhibition space for experimental sound art andexperimental electronic music, the event aims to explore the possibilities of a broader project with the ultimate goal of developing a community experimental radio station in Den Haag, seeking collaborators and looking for a common interest in radio practice. The event will explore the boundaries of being simultaneously on air in a physical and virtual space, challenging different radio formats.

Loop #3 has evolved from my recent experiments in micro-looping and its influence on time perception dating back to 2020. “Time Is A Sliding Door” (Radiophrenia 2020) could be considered a forerunner, and clearly speaks with the voices of many clocks and cuckoos entangled in frequencies and field recording, yet…
Later in 2021, sifting through tons of field recordings for the 22-hour {A Wave Novel} for radioart.zone, I dreamt of giant ‘musical waves’ generated for this mission by some really smart and lucid machine/program/spaceship. It did not happen; instead, I assembled everything by hand.

Finally, at the IMPROVISORIUM Seanaps Radio Lab in 2022 I took up that thoroughly composted idea of using micro snippets of ‘audio trash’, long-lived-with sonic crumbs, and further semi-redundant sound material of short duration as a pattern-weaving material. And lo behold: It worked out. At least I think so.
