ReLOOP ‘Air on Air’

Since 2012, the Open Call is a constituent part of Datscha Radio’s programs. More than 200 artists have been since enriching and expanding our different radioscapes in different countries and for different themes.

Being on location and in communication with the locals of Ii provided us with the luxury to introduce sound and radio art to some people to whom this field was entirely new. Many of the listeners we spoke to were surprised, enchanted, bewildered. Some of them said: ‘I did not know, this was music‘. :) We confirmed it was… and more than that!

Relating to the recent “Air on Air” at the Art Ii Biennial, we are delighted to announce a rebroadcast of the artist’s ‘airy’ works. It will run from July 6 to July 9, 2022.

Last but not least: Last but not least: on our request for this rebroadcast Datscha Radio received many positive echoes. We allow us to quote from two and insist: The honour is on you .  Thank you all!!!

Hello dear Gabi and Tina!
The idea of rebroadcasting the nightlopps is really cool! I would love to hear my play and the work of other colleagues! No objection.
Once again, congratulations for the beautiful project "Air on Air", in Ii -- I followed the posts during the Bienal with great interest (photos and texts). Long live Datscha Radio, a blue flower in the radiophonic garden. 

Many greetings! How's the Weather? Thank you for getting us back! We are thrilled to receive such feedback from your community. These are the best gifts for us to move forward on our creative path. It is our honor to be part of the program and looking forward to listen it on the air! 

Further: The actual shows and missing blog entries will be edited within the next weeks, please stay tuned.
