WATER CHRONICLES LIVE BROADCAST

Friday 4th September, 19.00 - Saturday 6th September 00.00 (CET)

Live environmental stream boxes will be located on the Channelsea river platform (Berlin) during the live programme there in July, and on Channelsea river and ‘A Slice of Reality’ and the Channelsea river (London) , during the live programme in September, open ears to the sonic worlds of each city.

These environmental streams will be interspersed with the live events in each city, and a curated feed from artists and friends of the project.

LIVE PROGRAM from 'A Slice of Reality' on the Thames and the Long Wall Ecology Garden on the Channelsea river

LIVE ENVIRONMENTAL STREAM BOXES:

• Hydrophones from 'A Slice of Reality'
  
• In air mics at Channelsea River
  
• In air mics at Greenwich Peninsula Ecology Park
  

All using Sound Camp live stream boxes and the Locus Sonus platform.

SOUND WORKS FROM FRIENDS & COLLABORATORS:
A curated feed of audio works involving the Spree from artists and friends of the project.

Radio Otherwise: “Tuning in to the Acoustic Commons: radio, waterways, and collective listening”
Lecture Performance from the conference “Time to Listen. Multispecies Creativity in Music and Sound.”<br> The conference is jointly organised by inm / field notes and the Academy of Arts Berlin, in collaboration with Musikfonds e.V. and Impuls neue Musik.

Radio Otherwise set up multiple microphones, hydrophones, antennas and receivers on the Insola floating platform at Rummelsburg Bay in Berlin, and transmited these signals live to the Academy of the Arts, blending listening to these inputs and infrastructures with reflections on previous durational transmission works that brought together parallels between waterways and electromagnetic transmission as infrastructures of flow—in terms of more-than-human agency, human access to and infiltration of these systems, as well as leakages and disturbances.

Radio Otherwise (Monaí de Paula Antunes, Kate Donovan, Niko de Paula Lefort) is an ongoing artistic research project that explores the plurality of experiences in radio-making through ecological thinking.

The Order of Anura
by Jol Thoms
Anuras' (Frogs/Toads/Salamanders) are the vertebrates hardest hit by climate devastation. This hour-long program of other than human sacred music and history is in response and dedicated to those most endangered by extinction: the amphibians. We resonante our ritual recordings into the Spree re-activating it as a planetary scale amplifier for our shared cross-species messages of urgency, care and concern. The Order of Anura attune and develop new sensibilities to the imperatives and sympoetics of beyond-the-human worlds and our mutual embeddedness, as global health plummets with direct ties to the loss of so many species of amphibian.

The Well of Mothers
by Margarida Mendes
Merging the hidden waters of underground Lisbon — with its sunken rivers and wells of fortune — with the meandering flows of the Spree, this cross-watery broadcast interweaves spatial dimensions and sonic thresholds to establish new liquid horizons. Resonating from a well deep inside Earth’s trenches, it invites the breath of aether to travel across physical space and conduct its own vibratory magic, weaving thus a cartography of the senses.
