Radio Concrete
Radio Concrete is a monthly radio show and an ongoing experimental project which deals with sounds that we are exposed to every day in the public and domestic spheres, often in passing or involuntarily. Listen to Radio Concrete.
Fresh raw materials including field recordings of our everyday routine, samples and loops from tv & radio, news editions and advertisements are all gathered on a regular basis and then mixed together on live radio broadcasting.
It has been played live in all kinds of venues and also got a regular spot on Resonance Extra (UK), Radio Manobras (ITA), WGXC (US) and on Halas.am (ISR).
