Radia # 112, season 11 show 12 from Radio Corax

exploring the birds in the radio jungle

.1 Radio is not the [transmission] medium but the shaped by that medium between producers, the [radio] object and the listener. So, the relation between distante people, mediated through sound. If we cut this to human relations then story telling is one of the most old and interesting way of establishing this relation.

.2 "We go into the forests with their words, forests of big dry trees as in Europe, of green, sun light caughting trees, as in some jungle. There you find the Radia bird, with a scream almost of human voice, living heritage of the passage of these radio people. A long forgoten expedition crossed such electromagnetic forests, it's traces have efaced from memory except for this record of a species, perpetuating a echo from their memory in a singing voice, escaping in the forest: "radia, radia"."

.3 I don't know what thing is this that with the repeating of the listening experience the german parts start to make sense, like I could grasp them somewhere inside some hidden part of my brain.

.4 So, after all this, is uselless to say I really liked this one? I find the mixing of bird/word layers very well done, mingling one another in a perfect way.
