Helicotrema • Festival dell'audio registrato
17 - 21 september 2014
curated by Careof and Via Farini
in collaboration with
Fonderia Battaglia
Istituto dei Ciechi di Milano
ONE OFF
in collaboration with
RAI Radio3
Careof and Viafarini present the third edition of Helicotrema, a festival of audio works curated by Blauer Hase. The festival unfolds over five days, from September 17 to 21, following the format of a short film festival: the works are presented in various collective listening sessions, where the audience is invited to participate by listening to the selections in their entirety.
There will also be dedicated sessions designed for other spaces in the city, including Fonderia Battaglia, Istituto dei Ciechi di Milano, the garden of ONEOFF, and in collaboration with RAI Radio3, some of the festival pieces will be broadcast live.
The festival aims to explore the possibilities of an environment and a form of collective listening, much like in the early decades of radio broadcasting. Since television began to spread within the domestic context, radio broadcasts—such as radio drama and its related genres, from radio theater to radio film—have gradually lost their audience, and moments of collective listening have increasingly disappeared.
In the field of contemporary art and, to some extent, contemporary theater, the last decade has witnessed a gradual resurgence of interest in forms such as audio drama, radio theater, audio documentaries, soundscapes, experimental poetry, and various types of formats based solely on an acoustic component. Helicotrema seeks to reflect on the very morphology of this listening.
Helicotrema C.O.D.A., a special event taking place on September 21 at Villa di Brescia, will conclude the festival with a concert by Mike Cooper.
During the four days of the festival at Careof and Viafarini, it will also be possible to listen to four playlists featuring works selected by Anna Cestelli Guidi, Simone Frangi, RWM - Ràdio Web MACBA, and DUUU / Unités Radiophoniques Mobiles.
Program
In the spaces of Careof and Viafarini, every day from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., and compatibly with the scheduled collective listening sessions, four playlists specially commissioned for Helicotrema 2014 are available.
