Radia Show 1116: C/O Sirius By Anna Stereopoulou (Radioart106)

“Hello, this is Anna calling, from Earth. Just a few meters away from the top of Ancient Minoa. Last time I was here I found ‘my’ Tree broken by the wind. I touched it and wished us a ‘New Life’. I must return, I know. You, too. I know. I wish you a Happy New Life. I knitted this sonic shawl for you, to wish me a Happy New (personal) Year, soon! I love you! Your little cat”.

An imaginary letter from a daughter to a mother, consisting of the “Amphilyce”, “Ad Vivam Flammam” & “Hestia Fields” Diptych and “Galanthus” sound works, all produced and compiled by Anna Stereopoulou, featuring (free) Space Sounds compiled through the CARISMA. On the occasion of August Celestial Events and the composer’s birthday.

Anna Stereopoulou specialises in the field of Music Composition for Film & TV, whilst since 2017, she has been introducing a special form of live presentations, described as Cymatic Environment© (SYN and PLANO projects) and inspired by her Art & Science research. She has also composed music for the Theatre, Dance, Installations, Radio, Music Ensembles and Orchestra, and has presented her art in cultural venues and archaeological sites. Since 2006, she has occasionally been presenting her FEELMUSIC seminar series, whilst she has worked as an Advisor/Programmer in Music & Film Festivals (Italy, France) and has developed her work through a wide range of collaborations, through her activity in the field of Culture, Education, Journalism and Tourism, and as a member of female:pressure network.

Each week one member of the Radia Network produces a show for all the others. The Radia Network emerged from a series of meetings, clandestine events, late-night club discussions, and a lot of email exchanges between cultural radio producers across Europe. The topics vary and the reasons for forming a network are many, but Radia has become a concrete manifestation of the desire to use radio as an art form. The approaches differ, as do the local contexts; from commissioned radio art works to struggles for frequencies to copyright concerns, all the radios share the goal of an audio space where something different can happen. That different is also a form in the making––radio sounds different in each city, on each frequency. Taking radio as an art form, claiming that space for creative production in the mediascape and cracking apart the notion of radio, is what Radia does.

It is producing radio stuff that is hard to describe. Some of it can be labeled radio art, or experimental radio, or creative radio. Sometimes it talks, sometimes it doesn’t. It can be noisy, or a kind of soundscape, or a documentary, a document, a talk, a performance. Each and every week, one of the partners will provide the network program, commissioned and produced especially for this purpose: being broadcast by all the partners and made available online.

Some things have to be said about all those partners. They are radio stations, of the independent, non-commercial, community, cultural species. They all speak different languages, and this should create interesting problems. Although initially they were all European radio stations this has changed over time, and Radia has become not only larger but also more diverse: 22 partners in 14 countries and growing all the time.
