[cma-l] Radiophrenia Open Call

[CMA-L]

Radiophrenia announce an open call for sound and transmission artworks for
their upcoming broadcasts in November 2017. Radiophrenia is an artist run
FM radio station broadcasting in Glasgow and online.

The project seeks 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. The station wants 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 broadcast in previous years can be heard
here: https://soundcloud.com/radiophrenia

There are four categories for submissions:

   - Pre-recorded radio programmes or series 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 pieces of over 2 hours duration.
   - Live presented shows or studio performances of 30 / 60 / 90 /120
   minutes duration.

Please be aware that this project is intended to feature material and
approaches that are not already catered for by mainstream programming.
Radiophrenia is 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
shows). Not all submissions or proposed works will be accepted. Priority
will be given to works that are created especially for the medium of radio
and that respond to radio’s unique attributes as a means of disseminating
ideas.

Audio submissions should either be uploaded to Dropbox (accounts are free)
or sent via a free online file sending service such as Wetransfer.
Downloadable links to Soundcloud files are also acceptable. Please do not
send audio files as email attachments. The preferred audio format for
submissions is high quality MP3’s (256kbps or higher). Please send links to
info at radiophrenia.scot

Please include with each submission; the title and a short synopsis of the
work (100 words max), a brief biography (100 words max) web links and your
name and contact details. Texts any longer than this will not fit the
listings.

Deadline for submissions: Sunday, 24th September, 2017

Broadcasts will take place from 6th – 19th November, 2017.
