Radia #990 - The Whole World Stopped for a Balloon by Joana Risteska & Stefan Alijevikj ▾
This episode is contribution by Kanal 103.
The Whole World Stopped… is a collaborative compilation of field recordings, a patchwork of making music and narrating, underedited ad hoc experiment, and also a celebration of friendship, a soundscape where two friends meet—Joana and Stefan, both of them colleagues at Kanal 103.
Joana is a multi-instrumentalist, though her main focus is classical guitar. She does use both classical and electric guitar throughout the recording, as well as bontempi electro-acoustic keyboard and goblet drum. Three minutes into this experimental piece, you can hear Stefan’s voice, first telling about a street scene he witnessed downtown Skopje, then reading a poem from Elizabeth Bishop (“At the Fishhouses”) and a short story from Franz Kafka (“Before the Law”). Finally, in the conclusion, a fusion of washing machine centrifuge and a mandola played with a violin bow.
The work is an undisguised communication between music and storytelling, scarcely premeditated, if at all. Most of it is recorded at Partizan Print, a studio of independent artists in Skopje, and very good friends and collaborators with Kanal 103.
Created by Joana Risteska, classic guitar master and multi-instrumentalist, and Stefan Alijevikj, fiction writer and sound seeker. You can follow their radio shows on Kanal 103 Sunday and Tuesday evenings respectively.
Members of Radia, the international group of independent cultural radio stations, explore new and forgotten ways of making radio.

Kinn Presents #2 - SYLVAN Versions ▾
Kinn’s show this month marks a departure from the “hour of tune after tune” format. Each month Kinn will ask a guest to collaborate with them on re-contextualising, remixing and extending music from their discography. They will create the majority of an hour of entirely new and unheard music.
This month's guest is Klaar (Joe Shakespeare), who co-founded the Berlin/London based Label Knives alongside Kuedo (Vex’d).
As Klaar, he provides a 30 minute guest mix of unheard and re-contextualised content, as well as working with Kinn to remix his latest release SYLVAN (on Knives).
Channelling an array of fervent interests in many genres through different mediums (Film, Music, Sound Art and more), Kinn - the brooding-electronics project of London based artist Freddy Lomas - and his guests use original soundscapes and compositions to weave together an original concept for each month's show.

The second half of the show sees Hayley Suviste weave an assortment of standout tracks from Manchester's kinetic electronic music scene through a tapestry of sonic portraits documenting the city's ever-changing landscapes - from its near-wild edgelands to the heart of its inner-city development projects.
Each month, First Light Records invites two artists to take an unplanned journey with a microphone around their city to curate an hour-long mix. Each show captures the unique atmosphere of a city from each artist's perspective, through music and found sound.
