Radio Art Zone Newsletter: Week 15

Thank you for being our global ear, for giving your attention to the 200 radio artists and radio chefs that created Radio Art Zone. Stick with us for the last weekend which includes live performances by the anonymous collective Шшш [Shhhh] today and by the French radio artist Julia Drouhin on Saturday. For the Radio Art Zone Finale on Sunday the legendary Japanese musician Otomo Yoshihide will perform a live concert in the Bridderhaus Apdikt in Esch-sur-Alzette starting at 21:00. Behind the scenes we are already working on making the Radio Art Zone audio archive available (soon) and put together a book (later) which takes the proceedings of these 100 days of unparalleled broadcasting as a starting point to illustrate the world of radio art.

Radio Art Zone Newsletter: Week 11

The last four weeks of Radio Art Zone are peppered with live broadcasts that will emanate from our studio as well as locations as far away as Germany, Hong Kong and Argentina. On 1st September we will add a new feature to our website – for one show only: you will be able to interact in a live text chat with Marie Gavois & Michel Klöfkorn who have captured more than 70 concert sound checks for their programme. This weekend we look forward to the arrival of Julia Drouhin, our second long-term radio artist in residence. Her experiences in Esch-sur-Alzette will be distilled into potions and transmitted on our penultimate day of broadcasting as a radio apothecary.

Radio Art Zone Newsletter: Week 10

Today we enter our third month of broadcasting, and a few curious minds have already suggested that we simply carry on after our designated 100 days. This is an entertaining thought experiment, and reminds us that Radio Art Zone was originally conceived to last for an entire year. Our dedicated team however will be grateful for a well-deserved rest come the end of September!
