Ends & Entries is a sound-art series of 15 original 7-minute pieces about five cities on the edge of Europe: Marseille, Liverpool, Gdansk, Napoli, and Istanbul. Why these cities ? Big ports, of mixed population, with a long history, more open to the outside world than integrated to their own countries, industrial cities on decline that try their luck with culture and, notably, with European Capitals of Culture. They are all Cities on the edge. They are all Ends and Entries of Europe.It's brought to you by Radio Grenouille, Marseille.

Jonny Farrow, New York Society for Acoustic Ecology
“Over the River and Through the Woods…” A reminiscence? An interrogation of the holiday industry? A meditation on rivers and woods? To grandmother’s house we go? Re-making the holidays as you would like them to be as an adult? Perhaps none of these questions will be answered. But is it possible to smell gingerbread cookies while listening to a webcast? Hosted by New York Society for Acoustic Ecology co-chair Jonny Farrow, this show will focus on home recordings, holiday songs, and dusty memories from the shelves of holidays past. So, put on your pj’s, pour yourself a hot apple cider and curl up next to your laptop. More

Noise! is a sound performance festival started in 2005. free103point9 curates for the third year. Each year the "Incubator" program at Ontological Theater hosts a Noise! festival, a three-night multi-arts event designed to promote interest in new forms of sound art. The festival will feature short compositions and performances by established and emerging artists. Each evening opens with a Radio 4x4 as the audience enters the theater. Radio 4x4 is a free103point9 collaborative radio transmission performance. Four simultaneous audio performances are separately sent through FM transmitters to radios positioned throughout a performance space. Each radio receives only one of the signals, so that the audience becomes an active collaborator in the performance, "mixing" the audio feeds by moving about the space among the four signals.
Performers to be announced.
Artists who would like to be considered for inclusion in 2009 should send details to Tom Roe at tr at free103point9.org. Please include “Noise! 2009” in your email subject. More

Tom Roe's fifth annual remix of the Orson Welles' radio theater classic "The War of the Worlds." Roe takes the original and layers on broadcasts of the world's current wars, and the disinformation accompanying current wars. This show comments on media manipulation in a similar manner to the Welles' broadcast, refiguring the hysteria for a media-soaked world. This year marks the 71st anniversary of the original broadcast. More
