Welcome to "The Radio Art Hour," a show where art is not just on the radio, but is the radio. "The Radio Art Hour" draws from the Wave Farm Broadcast Radio Art Archive, an online resource that aims to identify, coalesce, and celebrate historical and contemporary international radio artworks made by artists around the world, created specifically for terrestrial AM/FM broadcast, whether it be via commercial, public, community, or independent transmission. Come on a journey with us as radio artists explore broadcast radio space through poetic resuscitations and playful celebrations/subversions of the complex relationship between senders and receivers in this hour of radio about radio as an art form. "The Radio Art Hour" features introductions from Philip Grant and Tom Roe, and from Wave Farm Radio Art Fellows Karen Werner, Andy Stuhl, and Jess Speer. The Conet Project's recordings of numbers radio stations serve as interstitial sounds. Go to wavefarm.org for more information about "The Radio Art Hour" and Wave Farm's Radio Art Archive.
"Magneto Mori: Vienna" by Mark Vernon and "Mediterraneo" by Anna Raimondo, both introduced by Karen Werner. "Magneto Mori: Vienna" was produced by Scottish radio artist Mark Vernon. Mark Vernon has been creating a series of radio pieces, including this one, out of semi-degraded audio tape. Using a portable reel-to-reel tape recorder, he records sounds from a place, in this case Vienna, Austria. Then he cuts up the tape and in Vienna buried it in a muddy garden with local souvenir fridge magnets to further erase parts of the tape. After a few days he exhumed the tape and spliced it back together in random order. Meanwhile Mark Vernon went to Viennese flea markets collecting cassettes and Dictaphones and the like. Out of all this material he created a portrait of Vienna in both place and time; an archaeological excavation of found sounds, lost fragments, buried memories and magnetic traces. Mark Vernons Magneto Mori: Vienna was commissioned by Kunstradio in Vienna and first broadcast in 2019. - Introduced by Wave Farm Radio Artist Fellow 2019/2020, Karen Werner. Also tune in for "Mediterraneo" by Anna Raimondo (2014), also introduced by Karen Werner. Anna Raimondo produced "Mediterraneo" in 2014 as both a radio artwork and video installation. It is also introduced by Wave Farm Radio Artist Fellow 2019/2020, Karen Werner.
