There is no such thing as a perfect garden. Yet, structuring helps the gardeners to find their way to designated borders and plant families. Let us introduce here our formats for Datscha Radio 17: for night owls and early birds, for the fans of acustical surprises and for word loving thinkers. 

! The current list will be continuously refined.

1-9 am Nightloops

The nightloops assemble chosen contributions of the open call into a loop of 3 hours – adapted to the mood of the day’s theme.

9-10 am Morning Field

Similar to the “Nightloops”, the morning field assembles – with few exceptions – chosen tracks from the open call. This is the place to listen to more extended pieces in a quiet mood and get immersed into their atmosphere.
