open

under construction...

The radio aporee ::: maps is one of the major, long-term projects on radio aporee. It is a cartography of sounds from all around the world. Meanwhile, it contains many thousands of field/location recordings from numerous urban, rural and natural environments, public and private spaces, showing the audible complexity and condition of our world, as well as the different perceptions and artistic perspectives of its many contributors, related to sound, space and places. The soundmap is used and populated by individuals, artists and institutions, in various contexts and configurations.

radio aporee continuously plays recordings from its global soundmap project. however, it's a responsive stream of sound, a topographic radio that listens, that may (or may not...) recognise and react to events, e.g. new sound uploads, listeners tuning in, mobile app activity, live sessions, phone calls etc. it's an ongoing experiment and exploration of affective geographies and new practices related to sound/art and radio.

about radio aporee

Over the years, and thanks to a broad community of artists, phonographers and individuals working with sound and field recording, radio aporee has developed a comprehensive collection of field recordings as well as tools for artistic practices and research in the field.

In addition to aspects of listening, sound-mapping and archiving, the radio aporee platform also invokes experiments at the boundaries of different media and public space. Within this notion, radio is both: a technology in transition and a narrative. It constitutes a field whose qualities are connectivity, contiguity and exchange. Concepts of transmitter/ receiver and performer/ listener may become transparent and reversible.

radio aporee was founded and is run by Berlin/Cologne based artist & media technologist Udo Noll.
