Radio Concrete

This episode features original sounds by Ilan Barkani. Barkani is a multidisciplinary artist, composer, improviser and teacher, living and working in Jerusalem, a founding member of the artist collective "Sedek", and a member of the interdisciplinary collaborative ensemble “Ptilia". "A geography of sound [...] is the geography of encounters, misses, happenstance and events: invisible trajectories and configurations between people and things, unfolding in the dimension of the actual while formlessly forming the dimensions of its possibility" - Salomé Voegelin, The Political Possibility of Sound In this piece, called ‘halls (joining)’, Barkani continues his exploration of combining field recordings and minimal/reductionist instrumentals, to compose and perform imagined, semi-coincidental, (what Voegelin calls) “impossible territories”. Radio Concrete by Hagai Izenberg is a monthly experimental radio show broadcasted on Resonance Extra, focusing on live mixing and processing of field recordings together with contemporary music and soundscapes. https://ilan-barkani.bandcamp.com/ https://www.hagaizenberg.com/

A new piece called Lost Letter, composed by Snezhana for this episode of Radio Concrete. The following are her words about that: -- To describe the process in which I was involved here, I would need to convey some details of the setting and the basic materials that formed the backbone of this piece. In the beginning, there were noises appearing between unconnected wires (an additional and sort of premortal material to my upcoming album “Parallel Movements”) I found some of the themes this material suggested, such as the desperate seeking of connection in disconnection or beauty in noise or meaning in life full of war, fairly corresponding with what is going on in general or what i can perceive from my current environment in particular. So these sources were fertilised with Israeli radio, military helicopters severing the night sky, smithereens of debris and bird’s voices, and various sounds of 'human and not' presence and not. There were some attempts to reverse signifiers of sound in an acousmatic manner so that rolling stones of “go-game” appeared as breathing or speeded human heartbeat as erupting calvary. Water, though, was included in its literalness as a fragrance of hope to the deserted. The water here is Sicilian — a good memory from the Oooh and RARA improvisation art festivals. But besides processing concrete sounds, closer to the end, I allowed myself a bit of sound synthesis. .. “Lost Letter” is the second chapter of my new series “Cryptography”.

This episode is composed by Izenberg out of flexi-discs, synthesizers and live radio sampling. Using a few flexi discs including ones found in old National Geographic and Psychology magazines I’ve crafted a few short pieces from found sounds. Last piece includes Alex Cruz Sesper on tapes and synthesizer. Radio Concrete is a monthly experimental radio show, broadcasted at Resonance Extra (UK), Halas AM (ISR) and Wave Farm/WGXC (NY). It's focus is on sounds which people are exposed to on a daily basis in a spontaneous and unplanned manner; from the immediate surroundings, the street and the radio.

Special episode of Radio Concrete composer by Karmen Ponikvar. Symphony of clicks and bleeps echoing from the voltage control studio, modulated field recordings, disembodied voices, re-mixed radio samples and cassette sounds. Through decontextualization and reconstruction, I aim to translate the environment and its natural state of disorder. Tape manipulation, tape loops and sampling techniques are used. Juxtaposing raw, unaltered material and its modulated counterparts serves to create a dynamic interplay, inviting listeners to traverse the boundaries between real and imaginary. Samples from: Female voice and viola, The Swamp in June, Jingles & Génériques, Radio Play Excerpt by Ulrike Haage on Eva Hesse, 180º, Jaap Vink and Recording of Shortwave Numbers Stations. more Radio Concrete at: https://open.spotify.com/show/2XsFbXXL8vXwB7PD6hc4UR https://www.hagaizenberg.com/
