DESCRIPTION
The rise of powerful, low-cost digital tools for producing, editing and distributing audio has revolutionized the thing we used to call 'radio.' This class will examine some of these tools, and will use them in a hands-on manner to produce broadcasting for Sound Bricks Radio, AAU's internet radio station, which offers a variety of programming, including music as selected by student DJs, rebroadcasting AAU lectures, longform conversations with AAU lecturers and visitors, interesting podcasts and other content as we find it. Our goal is to produce truly freeform radio, as practiced by independent broadcast and streaming stations worldwide such as:
- Berlin Community Radio
- Worldwide FM in London and Los Angeles
- BBC Radio 6 in the UK
- KPFA in Berkeley, California
- WFMU in New York
- Resonance FM in London
- Monocle24 in London
- Radio Bilingue in California
