Deutschlandfunk Kultur – Radio Art / Klangkunst

The weekly »Klangkunst« (»Sound Art«) broadcast (formerly »Hörspiel Werkstatt«) was launched in January 1995 by Deutschlandfunk Kultur, German National Radio’s cultural programme. The broadcast was established to extend the formal possibilities of radio play, to experiment with new genres, and to introduce listeners to outstanding examples of international sound art. The programme covers the entire range of new radio art, from experimental sound play to poetry, text-sound collages, soundscapes, multilingual compositions, and electronic and digital radio performances. International networking and exchange among international radio artists are critical dimensions of the programme. Klangkunst is understood as a laboratory for testing the widest possible range of sounds. The programme draws from the varied motifs of diverse sonic environments, creating new amalgams of sound dramaturgy, narrative structures, compositional arcs, and characteristics of radio as a medium. Klangkunst is a member of the Ars Acustica group of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).

Ö1 Soundart: Kunst zum Hören

Kunst zum Hören (until 02.2024 named Kunstradio) is a weekly space for radio-art on Österreich 1 – the cultural channel of the ORF, the Austrian National Radio station. The organisation gives artists a point of access into the unique context of national public radio. Via many innovative projects, artists from very different backgrounds have linked the space and infrastructure of Austian public radio with independent radio stations around the world, with private artist studios, and with all kinds of performance and installation spaces to realise an astonishing array of artistic reflection of radio as a medium and technology.

ORF musikprotokoll im steirischen herbst

ORF musikprotokoll im steirischen herbst is Austria’s festival platform for contemporary and experimental music. Functioning as a kind of laboratory, musikprotokoll invites the audience to embark on an exploratory journey to discover the latest developments and trends in music, with all the artistic risks that this entails. From orchestral music with the ORF Radio Symphonieorchester Wien to chamber music, from live performances to sound installations, musikprotokoll highlights a wide range of intriguingly heterogeneous forms and genres and presents works that are for the most part developed and produced specifically for the festival. Founded by Emil Breisach in 1968, musikprotokoll is organised annually by ORF (Austrian Broadcasting Corporation). It is a co-production of the ORF’s two stations, Radio Österreich 1 (Ö1) and Radio Steiermark, which broadcast presented works in cooperation with the steirischer herbst festival.

tekhnē

tekhnē is a collaborative project in which six European organisations aim to explore the emancipatory potential of technology in music and sound art via residencies, commissions, workshops, publications and more. By engaging critically and creatively with technology, and by putting the focus on the user rather than the developer, technologies and methodologies can be demystified and lead to more autonomous mindsets towards the tools around us. tekhnē is initiated by Q-O2 (BE), CTM Festival (DE), Skaņu Mežs (LV), OUT.RA (PT), GMEA (FR), TRAFO (PL), and is co-funded by the European Union.
