Dear listeners!

The upcoming week’s schedule features three 22-hour-long live performances by radio artists with a diminished need for sleep: on Saturday, Tuesday and Friday. There is the chance to experience these on air feats in person if you happen to be in the area. You can find all the info below as usual.

Radio Art Zone is slowly approaching its halfway point, and we would love to hear from our listeners! Did something make you smile or cry? Do yo listen at night or maybe cook along with our À table! shows? Please send your comments to info@radioart.zone

Stay tuned – and spread the word!

Performance artist extraordinaire Irina Gheorghe interrogates the limitations of a potential human-alien exchange through the use of the performing voice, navigating the space between human and non-human resonances in extended anticipation of a never accomplished cosmic contact. This live performance is open to the public!

Vocalist, and media artist Antye Greie-Ripatti (AGF) uses language, field recordings, and composition to install a poly-cultural soundspace in the open air for trans-species reconciliation, forest repair, restoration, interspecies co-existence, and planetary anti-deforestation in a trans-feminist queer poetics of free-quency and politics.

Media artist, educator and maker Zach Poff presents 22 sonic impressions from locations around the globe. Each 60 minute section is an “audio time-lapse” combining thousands of chronological audio samples collected during a 24 hour period. Slow changes become audible, like the hidden movement of plants revealed by a time-lapse film.

Art is equivalent to an extreme sport in the unmissable public interventions of Ralf Wendt. For 22 hours straight he will wander around Esch broadcasting live, speaking and listening to animals and plants, extraordinary and invented beings and landscapes. If you are fortunate you may catch him out and about!

Body Edit Mind features audio recordings, original music, sound design, writing, and large amounts of material found online, converted from video into audio-only formats. Starting with a lone narrator recording themselves in their recently sold building, the project is about editing and its impact on human thought processes, naming, recollection and language.

Artist, researcher and composer of electronic music Marcus Maeder listens into the underground of Esch through particular soils in the city: former industrial areas, gardens, parks, and brownfield sites, and generates a 22-hour soundscape of field recordings and musical transformations from a large variety of anthropogenically shaped soil types.

Life-poet Jasmina Al-Qaisi finally acquires an office to perform bizarre customer service roles. Visit her behind the counter of a shop in Esch to interact with her various self-assigned professions: Walking Scientist, Self-entitled Self-entitlement Officer, Bites Expert, Archivist of Regrets, and Birdwatcher Watcher amongst others!
