Philippe Lievrouw

Our friend, Philippe Lievrouw, who died on 5 October at his
parents home in Belgium, age 38, was involved with AMARC-Europe
from its conception at the Dublin AMARC 4 conference in 1990.
He was a vital member of the AMARC-Europe Working Group
1992-1994, attending meetings on European media policy,
publicising AMARC on the Internet, dealing with legal
registration, and building the European network.

Philippe was also a member of the Executive Committee of the
Association pour la Liberation des Ondes (Belgium) and was
President of the Banque europeene de Programmes radios.
He was a pioneer of what is loosely called radio art and was a
mainstay of Radio Panik, a small but uniquely innovative radio
station in Brussels.

Philippe was the victim of a serious accident in Spring 1995,
very shortly after his election to the first AMARC-Europe
General Council, a position he was never able to take up.
After several months of rehabilitation he was able to use a
wheelchair and began spending the weekend with his parents.
We had all hoped that Philippe would recover sufficiently to
return to his life in the world of communications.

Many people will only know Philippe through the many electronic
messages he distributed across the world. Those who met him
will recall that he was never without his cassette recorder and
microphone. After AMARC meetings Philippe was always on hand in
the early hours of the morning, microphone ready to capture a
spontaneous singing performance or a heated debate.

Philippe collected sounds and built collages for the airwaves.
He was a constant communicator whose silence will be felt.
