In this, Kurda is searching for the in-between sounds of the medium and the gaps in the social order: Do we overstep the borders of legality by listening? What does illegality mean? Can illegality make noise? Is noise illegal?
A live radio ensemble of musicians, artists and writers from different parts of the world pursue these questions in Kurdas piece. The radio listeners are invited to follow them and to reflect their own listening.

In the course of the performance we invite you to share your listening impressions via chat.

Graphic: Score for Radio (Hardi Kurda, 2020)

On Friday, March 20, two guest artists of the Radio Art Residency meet for a concert night at Salon Villa Plagwitz in Leipzig.

André Damião II Narva 2

André Damião works between the fields of music and electronic arts and experiments with self-built mobile devices as means for itinerant sound art production. In 2019 he was the third artist-in-residence at Radio CORAX in Halle.

NARVA 2 Damião’s audio-visual instrument is part of a series of mobile music objects. Named after the GDR light bulb manufacturer, the hacked portable tv represents the genealogy of the portable means and its relation with programmed obsolescence, the means of production and their effects in daily life.

HARDI KURDA II Radiola Springs

Hardi Kurda is a composer, sound artist and improviser. His work reflects the listening in the time of crisis. In his performances and compositions he uses the radio as an instrument to explore the tonal material of the frequency band. Until May Kurda is guest artist at the Radio Art Residency in Halle.

RADIOLA SPRINGS Kurda’s prepared viola will have its first performance.

On Thursday, June 6 / 5pm
Burg Giebichenstein / Campus Kunst (Unterburg Giebichenstein, Seebener Straße 1, Halle)

André Damião works transversally between music and electronic arts. His work reflects critically on the genre of electronic art and the production of music by employing mobile, participatory music with portable electronic devices. During his three-month residency in Halle, Damião founded a Noise Crowd which carries in several mobile radio performances electro-acoustic sounds into public space and explores the relationship between space and sound on and off air.

The piece was created in the framework of the Radio Art Residency and was broadcast on Radia, a network of radio art stations across Europe and beyond.
