Radio is Dead is a space to foster and showcase creative and experimental radio production by amateur and veteran CKUT volunteers. The broadcasts are often improvised live in the studio and can contain anything from recent digital audio editing experiments, sound collages, electroacoustic compositions, no-input mixer jams, analog effects chain tests, homemade synthesizer workouts... basically anything that involves playing with audio signals.

Every Monday 2 - 3pm (EDT)

June 19, 2023: « L'eau, omniprésente, précieuse et inspirante »

On this transmission you will hear the sonic experiments of students created within the context of the project « L'eau, omniprésente, précieuse et inspirante » which was coordinated by cultural mediator Tanha Gomes. In this mix you can listen to students in the 6th year from the class of teachers Lina Coronel and Sonia Desgagné at École Saint-Gérard, Pierrefonds-Roxboro, in the west of Montreal. These accompanying images are from the visual elements that form a video for which the broadcasting soundscape was the soundtrack.

The soundscape mix includes spoken reflections, piano playing and also field recordings done as the city was shifting from winter to spring. I worked with the students to create excerpts that they liked and also recorded their spoken reflections. Also I created some ambient remixes of both the piano playing and the sounds collected by the students. Many of these sounds were also featured in a film created as part of this project by Samer Najari.

For this broadcast you can hear sounds created by the following students:

Hrishikesh Adhav
