Show 947: Concretisations (Radio Študent)

Concretisations

For this edition of Radia Network, Radio Študent is featuring an excerpt from live broadcast of the annual event Radart, which is organized by R A D A R – Open Radio (Art-Theory) Investigative Platform at Radio Študent in Ljubljana. The event took place on May 9th, coinciding with Radio Študent’s 54th anniversary.
The opening act of RADART#14:Sonor(n)ost, which was held at Cirkulacija2, was “KONKRETIZACIJE” (Concretisations), performed by Marko Košnik, Borut Savski, and Luka Prinčič. All three were members of the experimental unit MZX or Ministry for Experiment, which was active in the 1990s and focused on experimental radio activities, streaming production, and building international connections.
The performance was accompanied by a stream of videos from Košnik’s archive. The computer-controlled accompaniment of the projections was made up of samples of concrete sounds that Marko and Borut captured pictorially in a full-length session in the old RŠ studio in autumn 1994. Part of the video premiered in “CONCRETIZATIONS” was recorded in May 1996 by Gerard Couty and Marko Košnik for the production of the short video “A Day in the Life of the Music Editor of RŠ.” The audience was also able to view footage produced in 1992 for the Piazza Virtuale interactive television that was part of Documenta 1992, or in 1997 for the first XLR Internet radio, produced simultaneously from several linked locations in Europe, and from the footage of some other projects produced during this period on Radio Študent.
