Through the Waves

01:10 - 02:00


listen (mp3)

The waves of the Danube, sound waves of cities, radio waves ... Our wavy environment is a great theme and inspiration for sound activity (and interactivity). Being in the position to listen to different sound waves through the radio (waves) makes us kind of virtual, talking in a sense of space, and omnipresent within time - almost like inverting a time machine: Radio as a space machine.

This is the basis for the idea of creating a circulating sound: Via Internet streaming and radio waves, Robert Klajn and Miroslav Savic in Belgrade and Aleksandar Vasiljevic in Linz will make a two-way mix between these two cities, exchanging live (voices, street noise, environmental sounds) and prerecorded, complementary sounds of both cities (public transportation, public places, street musicians), thus making an endless loop, confronting the audio environments of two towns sharing the same river (the Danube), but with completely different cultural models. Fed with delays and other system imperfections, this loop becomes more and more dense even though the loss of sound quality is noticable and evident. In this paradox: less becomes more, we enjoy.
