A radioPHØNIX installation.
24 stereo tracks connecting radio stations globally

Eight compositions of 48 parts, distributed and reassembled in collaboration with radio stations around the globe, to create gatherings of radiophonic experience. radioPHØNIX is a sound installation event series by Timo Kreuser & PHØNIX16 that engages in phenomena of radiophonic practice.

radioPHØNIX connects a network of radio stations around the world, each broadcasting on their stereo frequency two isolated parts of a prerecorded vocal and electronic piece. An improvised live remix turns these signals into a fleeting multi-channel sound installation. Through interferences, dropouts and delays the technology expresses itself. Only having a fraction of the information at their command, the broadcasters leave their hegemonic position as information centre. The receiver is the one who defines the aural message.

The individual compositions are 8 live electronic meditations on 8 radiophonic paradoxes, and 8 relevant pioneers of electronic music and radiophonic works:

IVO — DAPHNE — PETER — KATALIN — MARISOL — KARLHEINZ —PAULINE — BEATRÍZ
