CENTENARY OF RADIO WAVE BROADCASTING
UNIVERSITE D'ETE DE LA RADIOPHONIE JULY 1996, ARLES, FRANCE
INTERNATIONAL RADIO FESTIVAL & AWARDS
AN EVENT FOR RADIO BROADCASTERS AND WEB BROWSERS
"SHPIL"
Live from the Roman ruins of Arles' Theatre Antique, the Universite d'ete de la
Radio is commemorating the 100 years of Guglielmo Marconis' invention.
SHPIL (game in Yiddish) is an acoustic work produced by Roberto Paci Dalo, an
Italian composer and producer. Dedicated to radio wave transmissions, it will
confront the traditional forms of performance (theatre, concert...) and radio
wave broadcasting (short waves, telephone links), with the new interactive
communication tools (satellite, internet...).
The sound content of the piece is as wide ranging as the technological purpose
it is trying to achieve. Sound sources will be coming from various cities, in
and around Europe: San Marino, Rome, Jerusalem, Warzaw.... A sound journey
through time and space, travelling accross territories and with no cultural
boundaries.
A nomadic journey dictated by the music (rock, ambient, industrial, world,
traditional...), the words and sounds sent by the various "active" participants
scattered accross Europe, all linked to the Theatre Antique in Arles by the
means of ISDN lines, the internet and satellite.
Once received the live or pre-recorded material will be integrated in the
structured musical score of SHPIL. The resulting live mix of all these elements
is then broadcast on a number of participating radio stations in Europe via the
France Telecom 2B satellite and Africa via RFI on Intelsat 702 & 601.,
If you want to get involved your station needs to be equipped with a satellite
dish. With it you'll be able to pick up the live satellite signal and
re-broadcast SHPIL in real time on your own frequency(ies).
So, if you are a community, college, commercial or public service radio station
equipped with a satellite dish and you're interested in broadcasting SHPIL (free
of charge) contact us in Arles, or alternatively you can pick up the signal
directly from the France on
Telecom 2B Satellite.
