Radio Concrete is a monthly experimental radio show, broadcasted at Resonance Extra (UK), Halas AM (ISR) and Wave Farm/WGXC (NY).
It's focus is on sounds which people are exposed to on a daily basis in a spontaneous and unplanned manner; from the immediate surroundings, the street and the radio.
Fresh raw materials including field recordings of our everyday routine, samples from tv & radio, news editions and advertisements are all gathered on a regular basis and then mixed together with live sources (FM and AM stations and other live online streaming sources) and objects (such as amplified/hacked toys).
Hagai is a sound artist, composer and musician and a founder member of the electronic band Rendezvous
This episode features original music by Or Rimer, a Tel Aviv-based musician and composer born in 1986 . Rimer is active in several local bands and projects, collaborating with a wide range of artists—including filmmakers, choreographers, and visual and performance artists—creating unique scores and soundscapes. Beyond his music, he also coaches football.
Or Rimer opposes the genocide in Gaza.

Radio Concrete #59 - Snezhana Reizen - Antenna
Introducing a special Radio Concrete episode by Snezhana Reizen.
Antenna. The madness of the day.
“Antenna” is a series of works on transduction with the sole sound source taking place - radio waves. Here I was devoured by discontinuity and discharge inherent to the "miracle of the wireless. the omnipresence.. the overleaping of frontiers” - the radio, like it was marked by R. Arnheim.
This piece emerged in two phases: the first one can be called a transduction - a process of conveying potential energy from discharge into a signal. It was a spontaneous live radio-noise set recorded close to the closed shelter. This summer
I found myself stuck in between absence and presence in amplified senses,
confronting the avalanche of the noises erupting on us by this world, facing the chaos, “embracing alienation”, holding a degree of disbelief..
that this "disparity can be modulated”..
Yet, seeking the perceptual transmutation.
Biologists say there are two phases for the perception, so that after transduction of the signal, a transformation should take its place.
Following this logic, the second phase of this work appeared as an improvised procession with effects and filters - a real-time mix-ture, with slight subsequent recombinations.
If there's something one can call a ground for this piece, besides its sound source, it dwells upon a chance. It is a conversation with a present moment beyond the borders by a flying carpet of propagating radio waves.
"Antenna" was created drawing on ambisonic spatialisation with a mixed approach, so that some sounds move through in a chaotic manner, while the trajectories of others were meticulously calibrated. In doing so, I did not seek to determine the exact location or direction for each sound particle, but rather to underline the traces - their nomadic movements within the whole sphere of the revealed ensemble.
