On the first day of the INTRUSION radio play workshop, Felix Kubin joins for an informal presentation of his own work in radio and elsewhere. The talk starts 17:30 sharp, so join us in Central Station from 17:00. Free, and open to all!
Felix Kubin is a composer, creator of radio plays, performer, media artist and curator. A lovechild of the home recording era (he started to compose electronic 4-track music at the age of 12), his activities span futurist pop, electroacoustic and chamber orchestra music, radio art, lecture performances and writing. In 1998 he founded his own record label Gagarin Records. Over the last two decades, he has released numerous albums of different conceptual formats and played at well over hundred international contemporary music festivals. Felix Kubin likes to move between high and low culture, clubs and concert halls, as his main concern is the shifting of contexts and expectations.
The workshop INTRUSION takes place throughout the week, with 8 projects selected through an open call. Radio plays, and radio art more broadly, are part of WORM’s DNA. Our radio station and sound studio have always fostered experimentation in broadcast formats and encouraged musicians and other artists to try the specific form of the ‘hoorspeel’. With the current boom in platform-listening, “vibe-curation” and easy-listening on-demand audio, we think the time is right to challenge listeners and bring critical narrative radio back to a broad audience. We want to invite you to produce something new, extraordinary, and possibly uncomfortable. You can hear the results of the week on Sunday, 22 November, once again in WORM Central Station.
