This sound work was commissioned by French independent radio JET FM (Nantes) in May 2008. Mathias Delplanque spent one week recording sounds in the radio’s offices and used them as a material for a composition halfway between sound documentary, musique concrète and electronica.
“Radio Station” takes part in Mathias Delplanque’s series of works dedicated to the acoustic of specific spaces and contexts (“Call Center”, “L’Inondation”…). This piece focussed on the relation between sound and its broadcasting space, creating multiple degrees of sound and listening. We are not listening to music, we are listening to recordings of music played in the radio’s offices (mixed with ambient sounds, voices etc…).
