Radia Show 929: UNTIME THERAPY – THE ART OF DETUNING by TBC RADIO.
There is a saying: Time heals all wounds. Which is not true anyway. But even worse: what if time itself makes you sick? Indeed, there are many time-related illnesses with a broad spectrum of symptoms to suffer from: from paranoia to trauma, from mania to depression, from light vertigo over heavy nausea to complete breakdown under the massive pressures of time. So you feel unruly, sleepless, tired and still breathless? Or over-excited, stressed and still bored? And/or completely out of synch? Well: this is probably due to some unhealthy intake and/or experience of time. Perhaps you have already asked yourself: what can I do? Is there any remedy, a therapy for me? How can I tune in and synchronize again, to be in time and in harmony with time? So what should you do? Or are these the wrong questions anyway? Let us find out… Please note: This transmission is not to be confused with a therapy session or any other kind of therapy-related psychic or psychoanalytic treatment. It deals with alternate artistic perspectives on the subject matter. TIME BENDING CLOCK RADIO is radio on time. Since Summer 2010, a series of radio shows is being produced as part of the TIME BENDING CLOCK project, a transdisciplinary research in the fields of art, media, cultural history and the history of sciences on theories and practices of alternate methods and techniques of clocking time. TBC RADIO encompasses a variety of formats and shows in German and English language. TBC RADIO is produced by GUNSTradio. Find out more about TIME BENDING CLOCK RADIO at www.gunst.info credits: The first edition of this TBC RADIO episode has been developed for the OSCILLATION FESTIVAL 2021, “Tuned Circuits : Attuning – Feedback – Detuning”, and more specifically for the festival’s focus section “Detuning”. Great many thanks to the folks from Q-O2 laboratory for experimental music and sound art for their invitation and for the inspiration! metadata: UNTIME THERAPY: THE ART OF DETUNING by TIME BENDING CLOCK RADIO radia production: miss.gunst [GUNST + radiator x] production date: january 2023 station: radio x, frankfurt am main (germany) length: 28 min. licence: (cc-by-nc-nd) TIME BENDING CLOCK RADIO www.radiox.de – www.gunst.info – radia.fm additional info: includes radia jingles (in/out), station and program info/intro (english) links: radio x & radiator x: www.radiox.de – www.radiox.de/radiator-x GUNSTradio & radiator x: www.gunst.info – www.gunst.info/radiator TIME BENDING CLOCK RADIO: www.gunst.info radia art radio network: radia.fm

Each week one member of the Radia Network produce 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: 17 partners in nine countries and growing all the time.
