Ernst Karel: Materials Recovery Facility
The alchemy of everyday. In our (post-)industrial society, there's quite a lot if stuff that won't go to the compost – yet can provide precious material resources. How does this sound? Let us follow Ernst Karel to a matreials recovery facility in Charlestown, Massachusetts…
RadioRhizomE: Rohstoff Recycling | Materials Recovery is a guest show from mobile radio, originally broadcasted as part of mobile radio BSP, mobile radio's programme for the Sao Paulo Art Biennial 2012.
mobile radio is a project by Sarah Washington and Knut Aufermann.
Ernst Karel's "Materials Recovery Facility" is a stereophonic field recording of a materials recovery unit based in Charlestown, Massachusetts. The audio has been recorded in January 2011. A first edition of the piece has been created in 2012 for Sensate. A Journal for Experiments in Critical Media Practice, where it is to be experienced online as part of the special collection "Return to the unseen 2.0".
Ernst Karel is a cultural anthropologist, sound collector, musician and composer. He is currently based in Camebridge, Massachusetts, where he he's lecturer in anthropology at Harvard University and manages the Sensory Ehnography Lab.*

Datscha-Radio: Ein Garten On Air | A Garden on Air
Datscha-Radio – A Garden On Air
A garden is more than a metaphor: Bridging architecture to nature, it is a living space for visions and encounters, for work and leisure. The garden has been a companion to mankind in all cultures since the beginning of civilization. With the onslaught of technologies of daily life, the topic of gardening has continually gained attention in terms of aesthetics, history and ecology. The true potential of the garden, though, lies within its rich multitudes. A garden is not just one place, it is many places; not just one system, but many systems. To create a garden for listening and international cooperation which appeals to all of the senses – this is the aim of Datscha-Radio.

(un)homely nights
radia #364 suite 106 + radia #256 the nocturnal state of the city
at night, not only the sight is changing. so are the sounds. what used to be familiar may become strange. (un)homely or not? that's difficult to decide. however, we'll listen…
in the first part of the show, we'll spend a night with gonçalo alegria in a hotel suite – in lisbon or elsewhere? all we know is the room number, 106:
"This piece is made in a specific environment, in an hotel room, with a set of actions, being in a place and enjoying its monotonous nature. Hotel rooms are not about being productive, they are made to numb you and force you to rest. Because I travel a lot, and spending time alone inside this type of rooms and out of boringness I started playing with it. The room itself becomes something new, something that I can relate to. This kind of set up consists of working with what you have available with you, for an invisible performance where you play with sound and situation. Materials used: double-bass bow, paper tape, bathroom, exhauster, glass, mineral water, effervescent aspirin, tv set, shower doors, digital recorder Tascam DR-100, headphones, water tap, ac unit, room phone and mobile phone. The same kind of thing can be done inside the train toilet, but it is riskier to set the recording gear and perform at the same time." [G.A.]
afterwards, we'll visit dimitar dodovski in skopje who listened to the silent streets, to sleeping machines and dreaming apparatuses in his house:
"this piece of radia composition is made of lofi noises, crackles and subtle dubscapes which from the artist's view depict the nocturnal state of the city. inside the house where hums and noises from electronic appliances are generated and outside where distant sounds occupy space, reverbed voices from insomniacs, lovers and lonesome whistlers fill in the silence."[d.d.]
