sound art from radia – the international radio-art network online
I like this concept a lot. You basically have these participating radio channels from all over (though the current partners are mostly from Europe… my old stomping grounds, Montreal’s CKUT, just added themselves to the mix) – the radio channels all contribute their art sound content to this common project, Radia.fm.
