Well, a garden needs a lot of work. And time. Of which we'd need definitely more. While the summer's harvest has still to be sorted and stored for later consume, the next season is already knocking at our door…
Datscha-Radio: Auf Wiederhören! | Hear you again!
How fast a week can pass by! Datscha-Radio has broadcasted for seven days and nights from the Garden – with a considerable number of live concerts, performances and talks with artists, musicians and gardeners, with readings, sound art, music programmes and garden ghost hours about and around gardens, gardening and everything you can find, encounter and/or dream of in a garden.
Great many thanks to everybody!
Biopatente, oder: Wem gehört die Welt? | Bio Patents, or: Who owns the World?
My plants, your plants – plants for everybody? You must be joking! Sure it may be well debatable if life should be claimable as property or rather not. However, when it comes to plants and their seeds, it seems like the answer is already given. The quality of seeds and breeds is decisive for harvest and gains – thus also for the market and trade value of whatever you grow in your gardens and on your acres. Consequently, the formula for a promising breed is in high demand. Not just since the first biological patents have been claimed. Yet – after being tested first in the reign of microorganisms – biological patents have made a stellar carreer in times of advanced bio-technologies, and lab genetics have finally directed the attention towards the "formulae of life". With considerably severe consequences for every body involved…
Die Gärten der Riesen | Giants' Gardens
In the giants' gardens is growing another time. A time of which we do not know. As probably men never will. For sure not those who claim them for their own…
A sound walk through (in)visble gardens, along the fences and walls hiding the giants' gardens.
The starting point for the walk is a text originally written during my research within the TIME INVENTORS' KABINET (TIK)* ("Die Gärten der Riesen"), published in the TIK book about "Gstettn" (Graz 2011). A first version has been broadcasted as part of GUNSTradio's TIME BENDING CLOCK RADIO series in June 2012.
For Datscha-Radio's* Morning Field a new version has been created, shifting the garden walk towards an imaginary morning hour.

Pomologie | Pomology
What links apples with art and pomology with politics? RadioRhizom:e grows its antenna to further explore this field. Together with Frankfurt based artist Jörg Spamer we'll go for a stroll through the history of pomology, present to past to present. A box with "books abour apples" turns out to be the estate of a famous pomologist. Walking his footsteps we'll learn a lot – not only about the relations between man and malus domestica…
Langage des Oiseaux (radia double feature)
A secret language. Yet heard everywhere in the garden. The language of the birds. A language that is legion and one.
The double feature with two contributions from our radia.fm art radio network presents two of their variants.

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.
RadioRhizomE
RadioRhizomE is listenting to garden(')s underground and from beyond, collecting gems of hidden germinations and clandestine growth: propagule diasporas, grass root revolutions, and other movements in the greens, mosses, lichen and fungi, weeds and wild herbs, plant pharmacy and toxicology, strange symbioses, productive parasites and the fruits of decay, crypto- and pata-botanics, biolelectronics and techno-organic transformations, secret nests, garden ghosts and the whispers of the wind…
abstract landscapes radia #375 DNT GVP + radia #193: the military landscape show
abstract landscapes. made concrete. with sound.
first we'll follow neven lochhead from the arctic to italy:
"'DNT GVP' is a composition by experimental musician and filmmaker Neven Lochhead, who is based out of Kingston, Ontario. Like much of Neven’s recent work, DNT GVP concerns itself with abstraction and experience of space. Clean guitar tones are played while sounds of Pond Inlet, Nunavut, a small hamlet in the arctic, surface to the ears between rests. A slight echo is applied to the sounds of the town, immediately informing that the sound is an abstraction. A complete and pure representation is always abstracted by the appearance of added audio. The landscape fades in and out of conscious listening. Later in the piece, a recording from an Italian language tape fades in, first appearing as part of the landscape itself – a distant radio playing through someone’s kitchen window. The sound of the tape increases, thickens and engulfs the impossible soundscape." [C.FR.]
afterwards, we'll listen another time to radio zero's 'military landscape show' researching the resonant space of former and current camps and training areas. curated and produced by Jay Needham (wavespace.org), with pieces by…
… Richard Lerman (sonicjourneys.com):
Aleutian Internment – Inside a hunting dwelling on the Pribilof Islands in the Bering Sea (amplified whale bone, grass, rain, wild celery and a wind harp) Funter Bay Internment camp (slats of the goldmine camp building where they were interned, windharp, rain) Windharp and weeds at a Cemetery across from the Internment camp at Funter BaySeals on St Paul Island, the Pribilofs Ugadaga Bay, looking towards Biorka Island and an Iris in the wind and snow, recorded on Unalaska Islan. (01) Trinity Site – Trinity Site, near Alamagordo, NM, was recorded in April 1997. Two times a year, the site where the first atomic bomb was tested, is opened up to visitors and many hundreds of people attend. I began recording from the car as I entered the military check point. Later, I recorded sounds from piezo disks attached to glass pieces that I placed into the earth. Also heard are sounds recorded from the fence surrounding ground zero and amplified, grass, weeks and footsteps of persons at the site. (03)
… and Louise K. Wilson (www.lincoln.ac.uk/lsad/staff_pt/l_wilson.htm):
Black Beacon Receiver mix – Mixed-down version of the seven soundscapes produced for "Black Beacon Receiver". From A Record of Fear. (02) Unamplified choir. Sine oscillator (composer: Yannais Kyriakides) – a specially composed piece for Exmoor Singers, made for temporary installation in Lab 5 at Orford Ness. (04) Recorded at Lansdowne Studios, London on August 7, 2005. Music Director: James Jarvis; Producer Clarissa Farran.
