"Memories of Zarah" (2016) by by Janete El Haouli, in collaboration with José Augusto Mannis
Janete El Haouli is a fixture in the Brazilian radio art scene and beyond. She has produced radio art pieces for networks around the world; for 15 years she produced the program “New Music: radio for thinking ears” (1991-2005) at a radio station in Londrina, Brazil. El Haouli has also worked for many years in Brazil as a professor and researcher in radio art. Memories of Zarah was created in collaboration with José Augusto Mannis, a Brazilian electroacoustic composer, performer, sound designer, and professor. Memories of Zarah is a radio play that revolves around a 1998 recording of Janete El Haouli’s mother a month before she died. Her mother’s name was Zahrah Jahjah El Haouli. The artists write: “Zahrah was born in 1918 in Zahle, between the mountains of Lebanon and the Bekaa plateau. In 1948, at the age of 30, married and with three children, she left everything behind, bringing only the memories of her distant Lebanon, to which she never returned. In this piece we hear a story that can be felt by all those who immigrated and still immigrate today... The soundscapes used in the work were imagined by the authors based on information obtained about the places of origin. The songs correspond to the repertoire of records they listened to in their daily lives, which together with the tuning of Lebanese radio stations...remained the only sound links maintained with their homeland.” Memories of Zahrah was first broadcast on Rádio MEC FM, Rio de Janeiro in 2017.

"Mediterraneo" (2014) by Anna Raimondo
I’m thrilled to share this piece which I find packs a wallop as a form of witness and all the more so in its spare approach. Anna Raimondo produced Mediterraneo in 2014 as both a radio artwork and video installation.

The Wave Farm Broadcast Radio Art Archive is an online resource and broadcast series on Wave Farm’s WGXC 90.7-FM, which is syndicated to stations across the country through The Radio Art Hour. It aims to identify, coalesce, and celebrate historical and contemporary international radio artworks created specifically for terrestrial AM/FM/Shortwave broadcast, whether it be via commercial, public, community, or pirate transmission. The archive is a product of Wave Farm's Radio Artist Fellowship.

Radio artists explore broadcast radio space through a richly polyphonous mix of practices, including poetic resuscitations of conventional radio drama, documentary, interview and news formats; found and field sound compositions reframed by broadcast; performative inhabitations/embodiments of radio’s inherent qualities, such as entropy, anonymity and interference; playful celebrations/subversions of the complex relationship between senders and receivers, and the potential feedback loops between hosts and layers of audience, from in-studio to listeners at home to callers-in; use of radio space to bridge widely dispersed voices (be they living or dead), subjects, environments and communities, or to migrate through them in ways that would not be possible in real time and space; electroacoustic compositions with sounds primarily derived from gathering, generating and remixing radiophonic sources. Note: Wave Farm continues to expand this definition of radio art through engagement with contemporary practices including those revealed by Wave Farm Artists-in-residence, and the Radio Art Fellowship program.
