GREENE/COLUMBIA RADIO

Upstate NY media access program

New upstate online radio station
and possible FM station coming soon

The Greene/Columbia community radio project will enable people in the two upstate New York counties to teach each other skills in radio production, community journalism, radio art, and other media-making. It is a space to build a "community of communities" -- bringing together a range of discussions and creativities from across the two counties. free103point9 will first create an internet radio station, while developing the organization and partnerships for an FM station we hope to soon be awarded, to broadcast local content across much of Greene and Columbia counties. Watch for a continuing workshops this fall throughout the area. Eventually this project will broadcast local town meetings, high school sports championships, as well as local performances, lectures, workshops, and all sorts of radio art. Please contact info @ free103point9.org to get involved.

FEATURED EVENT

Van Vorst Park Sound Walk

Sat.-Sun., Oct. 4-5, noon-6 p.m.
at Van Vorst Park, Jersey City, NJ

The Van Vorst Park Soundwalk is an interactive sound art piece by Damian Catera which both uses the park as a musical score and instrument. Listen through portable headset radios as you walk through a loosely defined route within the park. The piece operates with three limited-range low power FM transmitters which are situated along the route. Each transmitter plays a component of the sound composition which is broadcast on a single frequency. As listeners move through the park, with their radios tuned to the project frequency, the piece shifts and transitions between the separate components. In this enhanced environment, the listener becomes an active and crucial participant in the realization of the piece. This is a version of free103point9's Microradio Sound Walk. The Van Vorst Park Soundwalk is co-sponsored by the Jersey City Museum and supported, in part, by a NJ Arts Council Fellowship. Transmission architecture in collaboration with free103point9. See Microradio Sound Walk for more information.

FEATURED RADIO LAB

Radio Education Program

Fall workshop

free103point's Radio Labs provide participants with the technical skills and historical/theoretical grounding pertinent to transmission media in hopes of fostering creative expression within and with the transmission spectrum. Next workshop:

"Artist/Activism Seminar," Sept. 27, noon-6 p.m., free at The Change You Want to See Gallery, Brooklyn, NY. Tianna Kennedy (free103point9); Maka Kotto (Prometheus Radio Project), and Kaya Weisman (Germantown Community Farm) host a transmitter-building workshop, discussion, and screening of "Un Poquito de Tanta Verdad" ("A Little Bit of So Much Truth"), a 90-minute documentary, captures the unprecedented media phenomenon that emerged when tens of thousands of school teachers, housewives, indigenous communities, health workers, farmers, and students took 14 radio stations and one TV station into their own hands, using them to organize, mobilize, and ultimately defend their grassroots struggle for social, cultural, and economic justice.
