The Radio Art Companion was prepared
with the intention of shedding some light on the sound works
being presented during
the "Deep Wireless" event in April, 2002. Article subjects
include Radio Art, Radio Drama, Acoustic Ecology, Soundscape and
Electroacoustic Composition, and Soundwalking. The Radio Art Comp CD includes
works that draw on these traditions. These works include a radiophonic
music-play, a soundscape
composition, and two pieces that draw on electroacoustic practices
and are acousmatic and soundscape in nature. Artists are always
redefining ideas and conceptstheir works often blur the lines
between genres, making it difficult to describe their pieces by
category. And so it is that most of these examples cannot be categorized
as belonging to any particular tradition in a "pure" way. We hope these articles and sound works will enhance your listening
experience of "Deep Wireless" and provide a basic understanding
of Radio Art. We also hope that you will think of this experience
as we doa new adventure in sound art! We would like to thank the Media Arts section of the Canada
Council for its generous support of this project. We would also
like to thank our corporate sponsors CIUT 89.5 FM, emprientes DIGITALes,
