23rd May 2009
While Digital Radio (DAB) is spreading all over Europe, it’s time to remember that, since its birth, the radio has always been a medium for creativity and not just a powerful means of communication, capable of the best as much as the worst.
This idea is still true for many radio and Web radio stations around the world which celebrate radiophononic creation everyday, through the production of inventive and surprising sound pieces. On May 23rd 2009, from midnight to midnight, will thus be set up the first international Radiophonic Creation Day, a 24h programming devoted to radio creation. More than 40 radios and artists, coming from 12 different countries, produced sound pieces that will be broadcast in streaming on the festival website and on FM via 9 radios in Europe.
This festival is not only a way of showcasing the lively contemporary radiophonic creation scene, but also to introduce this art to a wider audience. The Radiophonic Creation Day attempts to include every aspect of radiophonic creation by proposing radio plays, creative documentaries, field recording, experimental and concrete music, sound poetry, Hörspiels and unidentified sound objects.
We hope this event will inspire the production of creative programming in European radio stations and accelerate the setting up of a found to help radiophonic creation. Nowadays, this neglected art still suffers from a lack of financial help that continually threatens its position among the radio production line.

Da mezzanotte del 23 maggio 2009 per 24 ore non-st si celebra il Radiophonic Creation Day, festival internazionale dedicato alla creazione di Radio Art . Più di cinquanta radio e artisti provenienti da 12 paesi, per relaizzare un’opera sonora lunga un giorno che sarà trasmessa via streaming sul website del festival, sui siti delle radio partner e via FM su nove radio d’arte europee. Una giornata di opere sonore che provengono dalle pratiche più differenti: radio dramma, documentari, registrazioni sul campo, musica concreta e sperimentale, Poesia e Letteratura sonora, Hörspiels e molti altri suoni non ancora identificati. Organizzato da Association JeL, il festival non vuole essere solo luogo di esposizione dei vari materiali prodotti e assemblati insieme, ma anche un modo per introdurre l’arte radiofonica ad un pubblico più vasto e incoraggiare l’attenzione e il sostegno economico e culturale di questa nuova realtà di espressione e di pratica comune.
