[pls. scroll down for english version]

postkarten. ein medium, das fast schon aus der zeit gefallen scheint. und doch bleibt. auch, weil man es – anders als emails, sms, tweets – mit händen greifen kann. es berühren, so wie es berührt. und das mitunter auch klingt…

im ersten teil der sendung erhalten wir klangpostkarten aus italien, aus einem projekt, das gianmarco del re gemeinsam mit giulio aldinucci und attilio novellino lanciert hat.

im anschluss verfolgen wir noch einmal mit maria papadomanolaki die spuren von klangpostkarten, die ursprünglich 2010 in der galerie des cabinet magazine in brooklyn ausgestellt waren.

postcards. a medium that could have been dropped out of time. yet remains. perhaps because, in contrast to email, twitter and sms, we can touch it. just as it touches us…

in the first part of the show we'll get sound postcards from italy, from a project launched by gianmarco del re together with giulio aldinucci and attilio novellino:

"Taking cue from Gianmarco Del Re’s column on Fluid Radio, which profiles the most interesting sound artists and musicians currently operating within the Italian electroacoustic scene, musicians Giulio Aldinucci and Attilio Novellino have launched the Postcard from Italy project.

They invited the Aips collective artists to take parte in the project asking them to take field recordings in their own respective cities and areas, which were then redistributed amongst the group on an anonymous basis in order to be reworked and processed. The resulting sounds ended up being a multifaceted sonic snapshot of the Italian peninsula, articulated into an album to be released this September, a live event that took place in London July21st, 2013 at Café OTO and an installation at SoundFjord.

This Radia Show was then produced by the original inspirator of the whole project, Gianmarco Del Re. He assembled fragments of the compositions included the Aips album, mixed them together with the original field recordings, excerpts from the installation sounds and recordings form the live shows of the Aips collective at CaféOTO and Power Lunches.
The result is a 28minutes compendium of processed sketches from Italy." [R.P.]

afterwards, together with maria papadomanolaki we will follow another time the sonic traces of aural postcards that have been presented in the cabinet magazine('s) gallery in brooklyn in october 2010:

"The conceptual backbone of the project was to create a sonic wallpaper that would reflect the aural undertones, both real and imagined, of the area surrounding the gallery. It also served as an organic sonotopia that inhabited the audiovisual exhibits in a process of associative interaction. Responding to a call for works, a total of 44 U.S. and international artists from diverse creative backgrounds contributed works ranging from drones and field recordings to spoken word pieces and experimental sonic artworks. Gowanus Over and Out attempts to offer a glimpse into some of the different facets of the exhibit while at the same time being its own self-expanding universe of sounds." [M.P.]
