[english]

day and night. intimacy and distance.

at midnight, two soundstreams – one coming from a forest at the the border between the czech republic and austria, the other from a pub in vienna, unite.

"At midnight on the 11th of July 2009, a parallel acoustic and electro-acoustic-radio-drama, took place in the middle of the woods on the Czech/Austrian border in Litschau and at the music- pub Maršal in Vienna. The two locations where linked via a satellite connection and their stream was live-broadcasted and used by Borut Savski at Radio Student Ljubljana, Slovenia, and Tilos Radio Budapest and rebroadcasted at the Radiofabrik Salzburg, Austria." [L.R-D.]

at new york, michelle nagai sits down in private homes for her sitting pieces.

"Untitled Sit for Your Aetheric Body: This work is one in a series of sitting pieces. A collection of (usually live) performance works, these sitting pieces share several common themes, one of which is the presence of the performer and the listener in one "space" together. This broadcast's subtitle, Untitled Sit, is the generic label for a series of compositions originally devised for live performance in private homes. Each work, created and performed by the composer, is centered around the presence of a still and silent seated figure in close physical proximity to the audience. Variations on the basic form are permitted, and in all cases, a free-form exchange of sensory information is encouraged between performer, viewer and environment. This is an interactive radio broadcast." [M.N.]

what will happen in the mean time, between spaces and places?
