Friday 5th August

12:00am - 12:00am

Radio Art Zone

With our regular broadcasters on their summer holidays, we go live to the Radio Art Zone, the 100-day radio art festival curated by Knut Aufermann and Sarah Washington realised as part of Esch2022, European Capital of Culture. Today, till 11am: Marcus Maeder's Cultosols. 22 hours in the underground of Esch. A cultosol is described as a soil type that has been altered and shaped in its structure and biological composition by human activity. This includes in particular soils in the city: former industrial areas, gardens, and parks, brownfields, etc. form a large variety of anthropogenically (culturally) shaped soil types. Marcus Maeder listens into the underground of Esch and generates a 22-hour soundscape of field recordings and musical transformations. At 11am we join the daily À table! till 1pm, when a new 22 hour show starts: Jasmina Al-Qaisi's Hart Servis. For a duration of 22 hours, the multi-office Hart Servis will be broadcasting live and will be open for participation somewhere in the city of Esch. From behind a counter, Jasmina will interact with passers-by as her different self-assigned professions: a walking scientist, a self entitled self entitlement office, a bites expert, an archivist of regrets, schnelle musikalische hilfe worker and, the most recently added to her palmares of services, watching bird watchers.
