Na programação do ECOS, queremos repensar e potenciar o papel da rádio no actual contexto dos meios de comunicação, enquanto meio privilegiado de difusão sonora, de âmbito interventivo e comunitário tanto regional como internacional.
Por via da parceria estratégica com a stress.fm, a rádio acompanha e transmite todas as actividades programadas potenciando assim a interacção entre os públicos presentes nos eventos e os públicos locais, nacionais e internacionais captados na transmissão online, em directo ou através de podcast.
OPEN CALL PARA PROJECTOS DE RADIO
Durante os 2 meses que intercalam cada fim-de semana de programação abrir-se-á ao público a possibilidade de apresentar projectos de rádio sobre as temáticas e as múltiplas relações que se podem estabelecer entre Escuta e Lugar.
Serão convidados quatro intervenientes para programar e orientar o open call para rádio, com vista a alargar a reflexão e criação de conteúdos sonoros sobre as temáticas inerentes a este projecto. Temos como objectivo fomentar o experimentalismo através de novas formas de fazer rádio, apoiar novas iniciativas de rádio arte e aprofundar o conceito de “self media”.
To make a map is to create a visual register of place. A scale image. A pocket sized mirror of reality.
To actively use a map is to make connections, create possibility, to travel in the mind and perceptually join people, places and ideas together.
‘Mapping’ is an attempt to represent multiplicity. To give form to concepts, ideas, journey’s, even time.
An audio map is the playing out of sounds, ideas, field recordings, footage and imaginings from a geography this creates a new topography- a new map. A map that connects sounds to place and then forges connections between places. This process is enabeling. It connects people and ideas; situations that seemed singular become multiple.
In 1961 Gordon Cullen published a book called ‘Townscape’ which explores the visual effects in the grouping of buildings, the juxtapositions of which have often emerged spontaneously and over time. What is the audio equivalent of a townscape? Can we collectively map an aural ‘townscape’ for the 21st century? Since Cullen’s book was published there has been significant shifts in attitudes to town planning and architecture with the introduction of large shopping malls and ideas like zoning, the pervasive use of materials- slate paving, concrete, sheet glass, stainless steel. What would our collective recordings tell us about the kind of architectures, towns and villages we inhabit today? The economics of locality, the march of global capitalism, the sonic environments produced by these situations?
