Radia Show 724 – Radia-Là! from Radio Grenouille in Marseille, France. Radio-là : un atelier permanent d’expression et de diffusion radiophonique avec des usagers de la psychiatrie, des soignants, des journalistes et des techniciens pour interroger la psychiatrie et tenter de faire bouger les représentations liées à la maladie mentale. Radio-là : Un atelier hebdomadaire à l’atelier-studio d’Euphonia propose à chacun de produire « son expérience » radiophonique et sonore. Nous y effectuons des écoutes, des prises de sons, de l’expression autour de thèmes choisis ensemble, des lectures, du montage, diffusés en FM et mis en ligne sur le web.

Bonne écoute ! /////////////////////////////////// Radio-là : a permanent workshop for radio expression and broadcasting with psychiatric users, caregivers, journalists and technicians to interrogate psychiatry and to try to change the representations related to mental illness. Radio-là : A weekly workshop at the Euphonia studio offers everyone to produce their own radio and sound experience. We make listening, sound recordings, expression around themes chosen together, readings, editing, and put productions on FM and on the web. Like John Cage, we have thrown the dice and lined up here 28 minutes of captations, performances and sound experiments. A few readings in French (sorry for the rest of the world) translations of texts by John Cage and Gaston Bachelard.

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.
