Radio Practice as Experimental Ethnology

As part of the Cense (Central European Network of Sonic Ecologies) symposium program “Beyond Listening” Datscha Radio’s approach to experimental ethnography was presented.

Next to decidedly experimental settings (“NightGardening”, Berlin 2019), Datscha Radio engages in cross-cultural garden research and broadcasted from Spain (2018), Taiwan (2019), and most recently, Finland (Art Biennial Ii, “Air on Air”, 2022). The project also sprouts radiophonic solo off-shoots exploring seasonal states of mind (KAAMOS Radio, Finland 2021) or topographies (Harakka Island Radio, Finland 2023). In my lecture, I introduced several of Datscha Radio’s abroad iterations and discussed the perspectives of nomadic radio stations as havens of situated knowledge.

Asthral – Daniel Alquizaleth

Asthral is a contemporary spectral work recorded by the Stockholm saxophone quartet, representing the awakening of the process of astral travel (out-of-body experiences and their connection with nature) which are carried out mainly in autumn due to the energy of the earth present at this time of the year. anus.
Astral travel was present in different cultures around the world related to magic, the unknown and the extracorporeal connection of the human being with nature from Hindu stories, in regions of Tibet, Nordic stories and tales of medieval magicians.

How Do We Love This World, if mushrooms could talk and trees could [Wenn Pilze sprechen und Bäume sich umarmen könnten, wie liebten wir diese Welt]
REFLECTIONS ON LOVE
Laura Lukisch

TRT 16:31
Inmitten extremer Wetterereignisse ist es schwierig, Liebe und Verlust, Hoffnung und Verzweiflung zz vereinen, wenn wir Zeuge von Bränden, Regenfällen, Überschwemmungen, Erdbeben und anderen Naturkatastrophen werden, die die Welt, wie wir sie kennen, verändern. In diesem Audiobeitrag verwebt die Künstlerin Laura J. Lukitsch Überlegungen der Gärtnerin und Gründerin des Occulto Magazine, Alice Cannava, der Autorin und Psychologin Anette Pollner, der Künstlerin und Autorin Eva Fiore Kovacovsky und der Somatikerin und Lehrerin Olive Bieringa.

We are looking forward to our radio guests, to the upcoming conversations and are ourselves excited about the course of our day, because as always, the program will be fluid and in harmony with our guests and the submissions to our Open Call. We hope for many delicious jams, which we would like to taste live on the radio from 16:30.

Autumn comes in green and red and golden, rich in scents and tastes, a time for the gathering and sharing of fruits and experiences. With Streuobstradio we want to celebrate this harvest time in sounds and stories amidst the trees of the historical orchard close to the Big Pond in Altenburg, Thuringia.

From 2 to 6 pm on Thanksgiving Day, October 1, 2023, we will be broadcasting directly from a Thuringian orchard. What is this sound of apples dropping into the wet grass? Of the spores floating amongst pollen and dirt? What recipe did your grandma use for her plum jam? What are sounds of the pleasures of harvesting the goods of the garden? Datscha Radio wants to find out – and needs your radiophonic autumn treasures!
