"In our performance, we are exploring the sonic and visual properties of resonating materials in their relashionship.
Two transducers and two hydrophones are interconnected creating a no-input feedback loop between two water bowls of water"

Hi, welcome to Rave Runner, broadcast every 4 weeks on Rádio Quântica @quanticaonline.

On IWD, I invited the magnificent @aurorakatana to the studio to share her art, through which she transforms pain into power, and discuss pressing topics such as gender, gender roles and feminism.

Aurora who produces and performs meaningful music, as alien as the being she claims to be. And she is, indeed, otherworldy: fragile but strong, authentic but mutable, extraordinarily sensitive but determined. So many paradoxes incarnated may make society, in general, feel uncomfortable; it has also drawn to her a few but utterly loyal fellow queer artists whom she now calls family.

I couldn't have thought of a better way to mark the 30th Rave Runner show than to have Aurora share her story with incredible openness, in the hope it inspires fems around the world to follow their own journeys with courage.

Enjoy, Mamma Tehrani

The latest release on Tobago Tracks sees Berlin-based producer
Alobhe deliver four blistering cuts of forward thinking club
music.

State Space encapsulates the paranoia and angst felt in an
increasingly polarised world, typified by feelings of helplessness.
The EP spans four sonically diverse pieces, opening with ‘State
Space Conversion’, which introduces Alobhe’s visceral and direct
aesthetic.

While ostensibly lo-fi, tracks such as ‘Numb’ and ‘Reload’ contain
elements of progressive experimentation that challenge the
perception of conventional lo-fi hardware based club music.
Numb’s nauseating warped sample over a solemn distorted
electric guitar dirge epitomises the lack of agency felt whilst
voyeuristically consuming the spectacle of the modern world.
These themes are continued in ‘Reload’, where out of sync drums
and lead loosely give the track shape, implode briefly, and then
reassert themselves, further adding to this sense of unease.
With an enigmatic online presence and little to go by outside of
her moniker, Alobhe has created a jarring fusion of electro, black
metal, techno and sample based experimentation.

State Space is available across all platforms the 10th of November.

Pendant 90 minutes, le 15 juillet 2018, une grande partie de la planète a suivi la finale de la coupe du monde de football. Nous avons enregistré une soixantaine de radios qui commentaient le match à leur manière, dans le monde entier : Ghana, Mali, Brésil, Argentine, Pologne, Croatie, Thaïlande, Bangladesh, Indonésie et Maroc...
Le traitement sonore du même événement donne à entendre ce qui nous rassemble dans un monde globalisé, mais aussi les différences culturelles qui persistent. Certaines radios entrecoupent la diffusion de publicités, d’autres d’appels à la prière, de dédicaces ou de l’annonce de l’heure locale, bombardant des jingles ou de la musique à la mi-temps.
Dans une époque globalement visuelle, où nous sommes tous connectés via le petit écran et l’internet, écouter la radio semble une pratique désuète, mais le commentateur reste une figure importante pour les amateurs de football du monde entier. Ce collage sonore propose de réécouter un récit dont tout le monde connaît l’issue, à travers ses langues, ses accents, ses rythmes et ses mélodies, sur fond de grésillements et de saturations propres à la radio hertzienne.

Durante 90 minutos el 15 de julio 2018, una gran parte del planeta siguió la final de la Copa Mundial de Fútbol. Grabamos unas 60 estaciones de radio del mundo entero comentando el partido, cada uno a su manera : en Ghana, Mali, Brasil, Argentina, Polonia, Croacia, Tailandia, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Marruecos…
El tratamiento sonoro del mismo acontecimiento nos ofrece escuchar aquello que nos une y nos reúne en un mundo globalizado, pero también las diferencias culturales que persisten. Algunas radios interrumpen la transmisión con publicidad, otras con los llamados del muecín, dedicatorias, anuncios de la hora local, bombardeo publicitario y música durante el medio tiempo.
En una época globalmente visual, donde estamos conectados a través de pequeñas pantallas y el internet, escuchar la radio parece una práctica antigua, pero el comentador sigue siendo una persona importante para los aficionados de la pelota. Este “collage” sonoro propone re-escuchar un relato del cual todo el mundo conoce el final, a través de una variedad de lenguas, acentos, ritmos y melodías sobre un fondo sonoro de interferencias y saturaciones propias de la radio.

Radio Mondial (English)
On July 15, 2018, over the course of 90 minutes, a big part of the planet followed the FIFA’s World Cup final tournament. We recorded around 60 radio broadcasters from all over the world which all commented on the match each in their own way: in Ghana, Mali, Brazil, Argentina, Poland, Thailand, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Morocco, among others.
Through the sound-based coverage of one of the planet’s biggest events the act of listening unites people and brings us together in a global sense, but also gives us the opportunity to identify our cultural differences. For example, during half-time, some radio broadcasters interrupt the match with advertisements, while others have prayer calls, personal dedications, the local hour announcement, or simple bombarding listeners with jingles and music.
In global and mostly visual times, when we are connected through a small screen and the internet, listening to the radio seems like an old-fashioned practice, but for soccer lovers the commentator is still a relevant and an important character in their lives. This sound collage invites us to listen to a story of which we all know the end through a variety of languages, accents, rhythms and melodies within a background of crackling and saturation, very common sounds in radio broadcasts.
