Radia #1080 - Cyborg Lullaby by Gwen Sainte-Rose

This is a contribution by Radio Campus.

Part 1 of upcoming series Those who are not mothers.

“Do you have children?” To this seemingly innocuous question, those who are not mothers can each give a very different answer and tell a very different story.
Gwen responds in their own way, in this first sound piece that tells their story and their relationship with non-motherhood.

It's also about what they feel on a sensory level. How they live in a binary and heterosexual system. What is “natural” or not And how they find their way in there.
Other creations on this question will follow, presenting each person's unique universe on this theme.

Gwen Sainte-Rose is a musician, composer and sound artist. Their creations are always guided by sensitive listening.For cello and loopstation, they composed Collines – Racines, two soundscapes inspired by the Forêt de Soignes and the Gaume region in South Belgium.

They produced the radio documentary Ne pleure pas! (Don't cry!), about child abuse.
Now they are also exploring links between videos they made with a microscope camera, sound and music, as in « Garden ».

Production, sound design and music: Gwen Sainte-Rose. Curation: Carine Demange.


Members of Radia, the international group of independent cultural radio stations, explore new and forgotten ways of making radio.

The interview is conducted by Viestarts Gailītis. The music that one hears is as follows: two fragments from Tone’s composition "Balss lūzums" (eng. - voice fracture), a song “Garu čuksti vados” (eng. - spirit whispers in the cables) by Tone’s band Grab and Erik Alalooga’s songs “Jack the Chopper” and “The Boreal Desert”. Kārlis Tone and Erik Alalooga are experimental musicians and sound artists from Riga and Tallinn, respectively.

Tone is known for his work in the experimental rock band Tesa (est. 2005), the Grab project, and the neo-folk outfit Līgas ph3, as well as for theater music, while Erik Alalooga is a performance, sound, and kinetic art veteran and teacher.

Merrie Melodias #9 - Robot Meloman M-110

This episode is dedicated to the first Meloman M-110 music machines in the Soviet Union. Cabinets with music weighing 130 kilograms began to appear in the 60s in places where citizens would rest – cafes and restaurants, sanatoriums and cruise ships. Each jukebox held fifty seven-inch records and accordingly allowed listening to two-hundred songs.

In total, Melodiya issued about two-hundred records for Meloman - they were not sold in ordinary shops, but the music recorded on them was popular among listeners. The cost of listening to one song was only five kopecks, while the price of a seven-inch record at retail was seventy kopecks and more.

Meloman's repertoire included mostly city pop music of the 60s and 70s in the languages of commonwealth countries. However, in this episode I tried to include not the biggest hits of those years. You will hear bubblegum pop from Poland and Japan, psychedelic rock from Azerbaijan, pop chorals from Georgia, foxtrots from the GDR, as well as a lot of jazz and swing from Russia and the Lesser Caucasus.

It is believed that it was through the Meloman's speakers that Soviet citizens first heard the The Beatles' music – not the original recordings, but performed on a Hammond organ. In 1967, Keith Buckingham recorded a medley of three songs by the Liverpool 4 and this was included in the repertoire of the Soviet Jukebox and in this episode (track 11).

It can seem that the repertoire of the Meloman music machine sounds rather utopian: "I walk and sing and the street sings. The traffic light winked: ‘Go ahead!’," – Soviet pop diva Edita Piekha squints with pleasure in her schlager. It seems to have been so! Meloman's popularity waned in the late 70s, when clubs with live ensembles began to appear in big cities, personal vinyl players became available to almost every worker, and soon the rough rock of Perestroika became fashionable.


Uzbekistan-based DJ and boss of the experimental TOPOT label Eugenie Galochkin presents rare vinyl rips from the Soviet Melodia label. Melodia has released music from all around the world: from obscure Baltic electronica and free jazz from Siberia; to synth-pop from Tajikistan and academic avant-garde from Ukraine. The series will explore how national and cultural characteristics are embedded in musical language.
