This special broadcast features radio-related commissions by Radio Web MACBA (RWM) in Barcelona, Spain. RWM is a radiophonic project of the Museum of Contemporary Art Barcelona (MACBA) that explores the possibilities of the internet and radio as spaces of synthesis and exhibition. The broadcast commences with a conversation between RWM curator Anna Ramos and Wave Farm Artistic Director Tom Roe and features works by Hank Bull and Felix Kubin, as well as David Crowley's look at Oskar Hansen's links to the twentieth-century Polish electroacoustic scene, and the role of the experimental radio studio in Warsaw at the time; Franco Berardi remembering the days of Radio Alice, a legendary free radio in the seventies; Lawrence Abu Hamdan exploring the contemporary politics of listening and the role of the voice in law; and reintrepretation of Samuel Beckett's play 'Cascando', by Joan Morey.
