RADIA SHOW 1075: TEA FM AUTUMN IN SOBRARBE

RADIA SHOW 1075: TEA FM AUTUMN IN SOBRARBE. Image provided by Radia. (Nov 11, 2025)

Produced by a different "Radia" station each week.

This sound creation piece captures the essence of autumn in the Aragonese region of Sobrarbe. Through field recordings collected in forests, rivers, and mountain villages, it reveals the textures of a landscape in transition — the rustle of dry leaves, distant cowbells, the whisper of the wind through beech and pine trees, and the echo of footsteps on ancient stone paths. The composition invites the listener to experience the emotional and acoustic depth of the season, blending natural ambiences with subtle sound design to evoke the quiet beauty and melancholy of autumn in the Pyrenees.

Soundscapes recorded at Bielsa, Pineta and Chisagüés 23-25 october 2025.

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.
