Deutsch-polnischer Künstlersender Radio Copernicus
Auf Hochtouren laufen derzeit an der Universität der Künste (UdK) Berlin die Vorbereitungen für den Sendestart des Radios.
Zum ersten Mal wird das Radio ab 22. Juli im Rahmen des “garage”-Festivals in Stralsund auf der UKW-Frequenz 93,0 zu hören sein. Bis zum 31. Dezember 2005 wird in der Folge täglich ein 24-Stunden-Programm ausgestrahlt, als Live-Stream weltweit zu empfangen im Internet. Aber auch “on-air” sendet das Radio über temporäre, jeweils lokale Frequenzen an verschiedenen Festivals im September in Warschau, im November in Berlin und zum Jahresende in Wroclaw.
Intendantin Prof. Sabine Breitsameter, Gastprofessorin für experimentelle Klanggestaltung an der UdK Berlin, konzipierte Radio_Copernicus als Raum für kreative und ungewöhnliche Audio-Produktionen. Das Programm beinhaltet zeitgenössische und experimentelle akustische Kunstformen. Deren Spannbreite reicht von Radiokunst über Hörspiele und elektroakustische Musik bis hin zu DJ-ing und interaktive Netz-Audioaktionen. Darüber hinaus bietet Radio_Copernicus ein umfangreiches Wortprogramm mit Lesungen, Künstlergesprächen und Diskussionen zu deutsch-polnischen und internationalen Kulturthemen. Wegen seiner großen Bandbreite an Themen und der Internationalität der beteiligten Künstlern sendet das Radio in den Sprachen Deutsch, Polnisch und Englisch.
Als Highlights im Programm der ersten Sendestaffel im Juli und August 2005 sind geplant: Ein Hörspiel des jungen Berliner Autors Marc Degens in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Warschauer Laptop-Künstler Jarec Gzescia, eine Produktion des Stettiner Audiokünstlers Robert Piotrowicz sowie ein Live-Auftritt der Hamburger Radiokunstgruppe LIGNA.
Unter der Leitung von Sabine Breitsameter entwickelt ein sechsköpfiges deutsch-polnisches Redaktions- und Produktionsteam die Sendeinhalte. Das Team besteht aus Journalisten, Radioproduzenten, Künstler-Technikern und Regisseuren. Unterstützt wird es durch Studierende der UdK Berlin und der Universität Wroclaw.
Prof. Breisameter dazu: “Das Programm von Radio_Copernicus widmet sich der Vielzahl ästhetischer Klangkonzepte und -strategien des digitalen Zeitalters. Es wird aber auch die Geschichte der Radiokunst, der elektroakustischen Kunstformen und der akustischen Medienform insgesamt beleuchten. Radio_Copernicus will ein künstlerisches Ereignis in sich selbst sein.”
Radio_Copernicus kooperiert mit den Festivals “garage” Stralsund und dem Warschauer Herbst, mit der Akademie der Künste Berlin und in Partnerschaft mit der Universität Wroclaw. Es ist Teil des deutsch-polnischen Jahres und wird gefördert vom Büro Kopernikus, einem Initiativprojekt der Kulturstiftung des Bundes.

Full Moon Audio Art Camp
Pouch Cove
Newfoundland & Labrador, Canada
www.radiosite.ca/fullmoon
presented by the Canadian Society for Independent Radio Production
Full Moon Audio Art Camp is a week-long space in a special place where participants listen, learn, speak and create. It is a place where the sounds of nature, the voices of people and the whispers of our inner selves can resonate together and be nurtured in a process of creative development.
Full Moon Audio Art Camp uses the machinery and magic of microphones, audio recorders, mixers, computers, software and speakers to discover new ways of recreating the world we hear around us into distinctive artistic and
story-telling expressions.
What do we want to accomplish at Full Moon? To provide a collaborative work and play space where artists can exchange ideas, cross-pollinate
inspirations and create audio art each day with their energy focused on
their creations and the creative process. To enable emerging audio artists, especially young artists, to develop their work and their craft skills by working with established audio artists and sound creators.
To provide the technology and audio facilities for participants to gather
sounds and develop compositions on site as well as guidance for the
dissemination of their creations.

A Deep Listening Palace Santa Fe
On Friday, August 5th, two days before the official start of the Pauline Oliveros’ 2005 Deep Listening Retreat at the Rose Mountain Retreat Center west of Las Vegas, New Mexico, a very exciting event will be happening in Santa Fe. A Deep Listening Palace Santa Fe will be ‘built’ at SITE Santa Fe, the nationally and internationally known contemporary art space. The listening event will be inspired by Pauline’s 1994 conceptual work, Deep Listening Palace – Postdam, (see the 1998 publication of Pauline’s, “The Roots of the Moment”.) The evening will be the launching of a Listening Festival that will present many facets of Listening and hopefully bring the Art of Listening to the forefront of conversation, aspiration and inspiration in our community and beyond..

Email: cathodeimmersions@2ser.com
Since starting out in 2002, Cathode Immersions has developed its own approach to improvised and prepared radio - combining compositions, field recordings of Sydney City and surrounding national parks with a real time remixing of 'free to air' television into a pulsing acoustic space. Originally the intention was to alter the experience of late night television by providing a new context, but as time has passed increasingly the aesthetics of improvised collaboration and imaginative listening have developed into a coherent aesthetic and we have a much stronger sense of creating space. The introduction of a weekly themes has meant that as well as live drones, audio mulching and instrumentation, we've been increasingly able to introduce our own field recordings, sounds of electromagnetic phenomena, recordings by acoustic ecologists and established field recordists, and generally take the television 'outside'.
We're always happy to play recordings from around the world, and interested in collaborations, especially from artists working within Acoustic Ecology, please feel free to contact us at cathodeimmersions@2ser.com.
"Personally I think for the late night listening pleasure of curious people, I would highly recommend this programming. What is there that can be more pleasurable to listen to, than the sound of a soft rain in the city outside? It is such a pleasure to just sit and listen, but in the busy lives of people, often there is not enough time to just stay in one place to appreciate that background. I'm very impressed with your methodology, and ideas. I would imagine that people don't think about how much work actually goes into making such sounds. The actual process of transforming the high-tech dribble which comes out of the television, into something more simple and 'easy' or 'uneasy' to listen to, requires significant thought and effort. But then you can take a simple sound such as a rainy evening and broad cast this sound 'as is' to the delight of people who are willing to make the time to listen." (Email from Simon Henry)
