Lets celebrate a very special birthday together – 100 years of radio in Germany – and become part of our collective radio performance – 12th November 2020 6–7 pm (CEST):
Wherever you are, go for a walk with your radio – in the city, in the park, in your apartment. If you do not have an old school radio, use your phone and a boombox (if you are not in Leipzig, you will need internet on a smart device to connected to us and get instructions anyhow). Via your receiver you will be connected to us and all the other people who are going for a walk with their radio. Listen to the voices of our four performers (– sorry German), follow instructions (– in German, English, French, Arabic), and synchronise with many others who are doing the same thing at the same time. All can share their experiences during the performance via instant voice messages that will become part of the live broadcast. Tell us how people react, what you do with your radio, what it means to you… Please also film yourself taking your radio for a walk and interacting with it, post the videos under #polysync, #100jahreradio, #anybodyoutthere, send the material to us, and we will share impressions of the collective radio performance online.
The performance will open the exhibition “Anybody out there?! 100 Years of Radio in Germany” of the Gallery D21 in Leipzig. Afterwards Felix Kubin will play while the radios carry his tunes into public space.

I worked with the sounds of the river Weiße Elster in Leipzig between six bridges and explored the mutual human-river relationship with different microphones and the voice impro technique Automatic Speaking invented by Antje Vowinckel to record my immediate perception of the space. Exploring the river that crosses my city, made me realize how important
