Based on the sleep cycle of the Australian Koala, LokaalRaadio create a generative modular sound machine, synthesizing a long meditative dreamscape stimulated by snippets of text and sound, not unlike the way we produce a dreamscape while asleep out of our daily reality.

Composer, performer and Human Rights activist Meira Asher embarks on a sonic voyage of Palestinian popular resistance. Documented at some of the many locations where it has frequently manifested since the beginning of the occupation 74 years ago, the recordings were made mainly during the period of Ramadan.

D’Kréiennascht present their work as a Luxembourgish interdisciplinary art collective. This radio artwork consists of individual short radio plays by different members and experimental sound art pieces created together. These range from “Sounding Research” to satirical “Weltschmerz”, surrealistic journeys and sonic documentaries.

The impressions and experiences of these class travellers determine the composition of this audible journey, based around texts from Klassenreise by Brigitte Theissl and Betina Aumair.

Ricardo iamuuri Robinson integrates a variety of sonic landscapes to convey the journey of black skin. Using tarpaulins of aluminium foil, durable plastic and waterproof canvas to depict skin, the work also transmits voices and sounds which articulate the interplay between black skin and the fight against the forces determined to control where it shines.
