Project in residence
RADIO RAHEEM
RADIO RAHEEM is a sound experimentation platform promoted by Nacho Álvarez A.K.A. Dr Milton (soundcloud.com/drmilton), who creates pieces from the live manipulation of various radio devices and the superposition of layers of audio and loops, usually accompanied by a rhythmic base.
The resulting soundscapes delve into signal and communication technology based on the use of radio waves, and propose a reflection on the state of the media, its internal logic and the treatment of current events. For the use of the LABoral space, the daily recording and manipulation of local radio is proposed which, combined with the recording of soundscapes of the Villa and the musical composition created in-situ, will lead to the edition of several pieces that can be used playlist or radio grid mode.
