Dear Radiophrenia subscribers,

We are pleased to announce that Radiophrenia is returning to the airwaves
later this year. There will be more news soon but in the meantime please
find below details of our new open call for radio works.

Best wishes from the Radiophrenia team

*Radiophrenia** – announce an open call for sound and transmission artworks
for their upcoming broadcasts in August and September 2016. Radiophrenia is
an artist run FM radio station broadcasting in Glasgow and online.*

We are seeking soundscapes, spoken word pieces, radio experiments, found
sound, innovative approaches to drama and documentary, and radical and
challenging new programme ideas. The station will be housed in Glasgow’s
Centre for Contemporary Arts with a broadcast schedule including live
shows, pre-recorded features and a series of live-to-air performances.
Radiophrenia aims to promote the medium of radio as an art form and
encourage experimental approaches to making radio that are not catered for
by mainstream stations. We want to hear from radio makers who are seeking a
platform for their work to reach new audiences. The call is open to
artists, musicians and producers at any career stage. It is intended
primarily for existing works. Local artists may also propose live shows or
performances that will take place in the studio. Please note that there are
no fees available for selected works. Examples of the range of work
selected from last year’s open call can be heard here:

*There are four categories for submissions*

   - *Pre-recorded radio programmes*
   including documentaries, radio plays, soundscapes and crafted features
   of 30 / 60 / 90 / 120 minutes duration.
   - *Shorter radio or sound works*
   that will be compiled into longer shows.
   - *Experimental, long-form radio piece*
   of over 2 hours duration.
   - *Live presented shows or studio performances *
   of 30 / 60 / 90 /120 minutes duration.

Please note that this project is intended to feature material and
approaches that are not already catered for by mainstream programming. We
are therefore unlikely to consider DJ mixes, music shows or other
conventional genres unless there is a clear and distinctive conceptual
basis that differentiates them from broadcasting available elsewhere.

*How to submit*

All radio works and programme ideas should be submitted either as completed
pieces (for existing works) or as a detailed written proposal (for live
