Radiophonic Cultures - Sonic environments and archives in hybrid media systems
The interdisciplinary research project Radiophonic Cultures explores the emergence of new sonic spaces and cultures of listening in radiophonic arrangements from early radio to its current digital reorganization. Going beyond a definition of the radio as institution, the concept of radiophonics followed in this research encompasses a larger history of the forms of production, composition, transmission, and perception of sounds as well as of the changing conceptions of sound and music that is linked to the radio and its apparatus, technologies, experiments and discourses.
