“post-radio” practice
Sam Coley and Paul Long
• PRESENTATION:
• Origins and character of Moradio
• The ‘who’, ‘what’ and ‘where’ of Moradio
• (POST) Radio practices in production and consumption
• A new relation with the audience
A context for radio practice
• UK Radio terrain & Birmingham
• ‘Local’ stations – BBC WM (PSB), Heart, Galaxy, BRMB (commercial)
• Present ‘physically’ but programmed globally
• Music dominated
Locality
Making ‘space’ for Moradio
• The makers – BCU and community
• Online – present in name only
• Identity of station and space
• From streaming to self-selection ‘menu’
• Local interactions and action
• Slideshows visualise audio
• Hyper-local?
Hearing Moradio
• Post-radio = ?
• No regulation, no temporal limits
• Liberation from ratings – beyond formulae and focus group
• Audio qualities and experiment
‘Listening’ to Moradio
• From listener to contributor
• ‘The valuable listener’ – hyper individual
• Present and non-present communities in communication
• Sustainability through usability
