Datscha Radio is pleased to announce a new radio production for the Austrian Broadcast Station Ö1

Kunst zum Hören :


The Traveling Garden Radio
Thursday 25th 2024, 11:03 pm

Lan: DE; EN
Supervisor: Elisabeth Zimmermann

Gabi Schaffner has created two 20-minute collages for Kunst zum Hören. The first takes us to Altenburg in Thuringia in the summer of 2023, where Datscha Radio sent its field research into the ether several times.
The second block dives into geographically more distant horticultural
worlds of sound. A conversation between Elisabeth Zimmermann and the artist will provide further insights into the traveling garden radio and the practice of world gardening.

What does the Black Forest sound like? In the morning, in the evening, at night?
The Vogelklang Soundcamp is getting ready for Dawn Chorus Day this Sunday, 5 May 2024 at 5:00 am, with cooking, the installation of sound artworks, and conversations buzzing through the air and across the meadows, crossing the Kauzhorst (stage area), the Wasseramselhaus (workshops and showers) and: The microphones for the Dawn Chorus’ global stream have already been set up.

Anyone who wants to listen to the Black Forest from now on can do so. Just click on the audio player on the right. If you can’t see it now: It was active only 4-6th of May.

The Vogelklang Soundcamp organised by the Global Forest Art Association is an open-air festival and has been linked to the International Dawn Chorus Day since 2018, which was founded in the 1980s by the environmentalist and broadcaster Chris Baines in Birmingham.

In addition to the numerous recording and listening stations spread across more than 80 participating countries, a Sound Camp was also set up in a remote forest clearing in the Black Forest. It starts tomorrow!

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.

Audio examples taken from interviews about plant care work with:
Subrabha Seshan (Gurukula, Botanic Sanctuary, India 2017)
Eva Kurly with Oscar Domínguez (Hospital de Plantas, Spain 2018)

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.
