Radio art DJ set by Ladislav Železný (CZ)
18th June, 7.30 p.m.
Czech Center, Ion Ghica 11, Bucharest
The unwinding of the flow of the signal that was transmitted into the space some time ago through the radio. This signal is spreading further and further from that time and if we think the whole space into one big vinyl record we could wander around it like the groove on a vinyl record. The Relativity is what accompanies all our actions. There are thousands of perspectives and thousands of grooves to ride back and forth.
A flow of sound imaginatively imprinted in the vinyl groove as a paraphrase of signal transmission in the context of radio. It is an acousmatic montage in different layers of fragments of original radiophonic works made by various local and from abroad artists within the Czech radio art scene, sometimes also with a bits of author’s speeches.
