Kudur Takeover on Sphere Radio with
Sunday, 22.09.2024 | 11:00 - 12:00

Kudur, as a collective, came together through a mutual love of Turkish pop and an appreciation of Middle-Eastern and Mediterranean musical cultures. The Mediterranean region has sustained a multitude of civilizations, and languages throughout time and we are drawing inspiration from the idea of crossing boundaries between genres, borders, and generations. We are trying to highlight the junctions of music, culture, and politics with our events. The sonic/cultural map we want to draw reflects the fluidity of exchanges.

Making space for the community and keeping a musical archive of the musical backgrounds and roots we are coming from is our priority. As qu**rs, we are well aware that the archives presented to us are fiction. As people who have had to deal with the fiction of a socially prescribed normativity, we want to keep our archives and create worlds.

Soft Noise eröffnet einen Raum für experimentelle Musik. Nennt es „Ambient“ oder findet gar neue Bezeichnungen. Es wird warm, beruhigend aber auch anspruchsvoll und ungewohnt. Von gläsern, spröde, dumpf, (a)rhythmisch bis hin zu (an)organisch kann alles dabei sein. Floatet auf weichen Untergründen und lauscht am 23.08.24 ab 17:00 am Sphere Radio Container.

English: Soft Noise is a space for experimental music. Call it "ambient" or choose your own labels. It'll be warm and calming, but also challenging and unfamiliar. From glassy, brittle, or muffled, through to (ar)rhythmic and (in)organic, there's room for it all. 23rd of August, 5:00-10:00 PM at the Sphere Radio Container – float on soft foundations, and open your ears.

🌟🎉 Stadtteil-Veranstaltung: Parkbogen Ost 🎉🌟

+++ Samstag, 3. August 2024, 15 Uhr auf dem Polygraphplatz +++

Gemeinsam mit dem Amt für Wohnungsbau und Stadterneuerung (AWS) halten wir euch beim großen Parkprojekt im Leipziger Osten auf dem Laufenden! 🌳✨

Habt ihr eine Idee, wie viele Kilometer der Parkbogen Ost umfassen wird? 🧐 Dann seid dabei beim moderierten Stadtteil-Bingo! Ihr könnt nicht nur tolle Preise gewinnen, sondern auch spannende Zahlen und Fakten über den Parkbogen und euren Stadtteil kennenlernen. 🎁📊

Das AWS-Team steht euch an einem Infostand Rede und Antwort zu den Themen Parkbogen Ost und Stadteilentwicklung. Holt euch die wichtigsten Infos direkt von den Verantwortlichen! 🗣️📚

Musikalisch und kulinarisch wird es auch ein Highlight:

🎶 DJ-Set von Gute Laune Gold:

Max Kinski nimmt euch mit auf eine musikalische Reise in die illustre Welt des Schlagers der 60er- und 70er-Jahre. Grenzen überwindend vereinte Schlager in seiner Blütezeit Genres wie Beat, Disco, Funk & Soul. Abseits des Mainstreams entstanden in der DDR und BRD echte Perlen deutschsprachiger Musikgeschichte und jede Menge rares, erheiterndes und teilweise obskures „Gute Laune Gold“.

🎶 Konzert von Cuatro Piraguas:

Die Cuatro Piraguas (Kanus) verstehen sich als Träger*innen verschiedener Melodien und Rhythmen Lateinamerikas und der Karibik, die aus Zuneigung und Respekt gegenüber ihren Ursprüngen eine Verbindung zu unserer Gegenwart suchen. Mit ihrem vielfältigen Repertoire, das sich aus der traditionellen Musik Kolumbiens, Venezuelas und Brasiliens zusammensetzt, laden die Cuatro Piraguas zu einer Klangreise ein, auf der sie mit ihren Kanus über Meere, Flüsse und Berge paddeln.

🍴 Zum Schlemmen gibt es:

- Japanisches Street Food von Ippuku

- Grillstand vom Bürgerverein Anger-Crottendorf.

Kommt vorbei auf dem Polygraphplatz, um gemeinsam über den Parkbogen und Stadtteilentwicklung zu sprechen und einen wunderbaren Tag zu verbringen. Wir freuen uns auf euch, liebe Nachbar*innen und interessierte Leipziger*innen! 💬❤️

Euer Sphere Radio Team 📻✨

Morgen um 10 Uhr startet unser Thinktank State, Structure & Future of Streaming mit interessanten Inputs rund um das Thema digitale Kulturvermittlung im ZiMMT.

Seid live dabei: https://sphere-radio.net/

und bringt euch in unserem Chat aktiv ein: https://chat.sphere-radio.net/account.php

Alle Informationen zum Programm und den jeweiligen Inputgebenden findet ihr hier: https://sphere-radio.net/projekte/thinktank-state-structure-future-of-streaming-2/

Wir freuen uns auf eine spannende Woche! 💙

22/02/2022

Dear all,

vom 28.02. – 04.03.2022, jeweils von 10-16 Uhr, setzen wir uns mit der Frage auseinander, wie digitale Vermittlung Kulturakteurinnen und -akteure stärken kann.

In den Räumen des Zentrums für immersive Medienkunst, Musik und Technologie in Leipzig (Zimmt) bringen wir fünf Tage lang Menschen zusammen, um sich auszutauschen und neue Konzepte der Kulturvermittlung zu erarbeiten.

Dem Thema und den Umständen entsprechend möchten wir die geschlossenen Räumlichkeiten des ZiMMT mit Hilfe digitaler Technologien interaktiv gestalten und öffnen.

Dazu brauchen wir euren Support:
Als digitale Teilnehmende helft ihr uns mit euren persönlichen Erfahrungen, zentrale Fragestellungen anzugehen:
- Wie können virtuelle Räume helfen, ortsgebunden und leicht zugängliche, gleichberechtigte und nachhaltig finanzierbare Strukturen zu schaffen und zu festigen?
- Welche Voraussetzungen müssen dafür auf gesellschaftlich-struktureller, politischer, ökonomischer und technischer Ebene gegeben sein? Wie können diese praktisch erreicht und umgesetzt werden?

Der Fokus variiert dabei von Tag zu Tag:
- Tag 1 (28.02.) – Einleitung & gesellschaftliche Dimension
- Tag 2 (01.03.) – politische Dimension
- Tag 3 (02.03.) – ökonomische Dimension
- Tag 4 (03.03.) – technische Dimension
- Tag 5 (04.03.) – Konzeptworkshop

Zu den ersten vier Themenblöcken setzen Expert*innen mit kurzen Vorträgen Impulse. Danach laden wir die Teilnehmenden zu einem strukturierten Erfahrungsaustausch ein. Die Titel der Vorträge und Namen der Expert*innen findet ihr in unserem laufend überarbeiteten Exposé: https://cloud.sphere-radio.net/index.php/s/b5rJ2LYXyeWGpoJ

Am fünften Tag wollen wir darauf aufbauend gemeinsam neue Vermittlungskonzepte erarbeiten.
Die Ergebnisse werden als öffentlich zugängliches und sich stetig weiterentwickelndes Handbuch Ende 20222 veröffentlicht.
Einen detaillierten Tagesplan werden wir zeitnah mit euch teilen.

Als digital Teilnehmende könnt ihr ortsunabhängig am Programm teilhaben und euch mittels Chat live einmischen.
Folgt dazu einfach diesem Link: https://sphere-radio.net/projekte/thinktank-state-structure-future-of-streaming-2/
Teilt den Link gerne auch mit anderen Menschen, für die eine Teilnahme interessant sein könnte.

Wir freuen uns! 😊
Liebe Grüße Sphere Radio e.V. & Hitness Club e.V.

PS: Um ein möglichst diverses Abbild eurer Erfahrungen mit digitaler Kulturvermittlung zu erlangen und damit die Debatten während unserer Konferenzwoche anzuregen, brauchen wir euren Input. Für die Teilnahme an unserer ca. 5-minütigen Umfrage folgt einfach diesem Link: https://sphere-radio.net/projekte/thinktank-state-structure-future-of-streaming-2/

On the 5th of February, another European Lab x Sphera took place in Budapest. These multimedia platforms are specifically directed at new generations and came together to put on a one–day forum for all the future changemakers. Therefore, climate activists, journalists, creators of today´s independent cultural sector came together to share their work and their visions, to discuss their role in supporting tools for young people, and to sketch out desirable collective perspectives for the year 2022, proclaimed the “European Year of Youth” by the European Commission. Simon from sphere radio took part to talk about the project and to discuss the role independent media platforms perform in supporting tools for young people.
For more information about the European Lab x Sphera and to watch all the Panels of the event, check out our website or Europeanlab.com. (Links in Story)

We want to say thank you to European LabxSphera for having us. And of course, a big thanks to our listeners, broadcasters, and supporters!

From February 28 to March 4, 2022, 10am - 4pm, we carry out the think tank State, Structure & Future of Streaming together with .club at .i.m.m.t.

Over five days, we develop new concepts for digital cultural exchange.

We examine culture in the digital space from four interlocking perspectives, consisting of the social, political and economic dimensions as well as promising technical possibilities.

We invited experts to accompany us through the week with input lectures and stimulate exchange among the participants.

The findings and mediation concepts will be summarized in a final report and published as a participatory online encyclopedia at the end of the year.

You can actively take part in the conference through our chat and livestream the event through our website.

++++++++

Vom 28. Februar bis 4. März 2022, jeweils von 10-16 Uhr organisieren wir zusammen mit .club den Thinktank State, Structure & Future of Streaming in den Räumlichkeiten des .i.m.m.t.

An fünf Tagen erarbeiten und vertiefen wir durch den Austausch von Expertise und Bedürfnissen unmittelbar anwendbare Konzeptvorschläge zur digitalen Kulturvermittlung.

Wir betrachten Kultur im digitalen Raum dazu aus vier ineinandergreifenden Blickwinkeln, die sich aus der gesellschaftlichen, politischen und ökonomischen Dimension und neuen technischen Möglichkeiten zusammensetzen.

Expert*innen begleichten uns mit Impulsvorträgen durch die Woche und regen den Austausch unter den Teilnehmenden an.

Die erarbeiteten Erkenntnisse und Vermittlungskonzepte werden in einem finalen Erfahrungsbericht zusammengefasst und Ende des Jahres als partizipative Online-Enzyklopädie veröffentlicht.

Die aktive Teilnahme an der Konferenzwoche ist über unseren Chat möglich. Einen Livestream dazu findet ihr auf unserer Homepage.

2021 is done! We take the opportunity to look back with you on a few highlights of the last 12 months.

The Amt für Wohnungsbau & Stadterneuerung of the City of Leipzig has provided us with a container since July, which found its place after a spectacular delivery in front of the neighborhood center Ostwache Leipzig e.V. in Anger-Crottendorf. Special thanks go to Oscar and Adrian, who designed one side of the container in a workshop, and Tali Bayer for the pretty paint job; Franz, Hacki, Oli and Micha for the interior work; Lily, Wayra, Rachel and Lena for building the terrace and stage and Rico for welding all the great things!

We used the newly created infrastructure directly for our summer program "Leipzig Contains...?" - sponsored by Kulturamt of the City of Leipzig, the Stadtbezirksbudget of the City of Leipzig and Mühlstraße e.V. On four event days, art and culture makers from Leipzig transformed the square in front of the Ostwache into an interactive space with music and speech contributions.

But the best is yet to come: We are currently converting the container into our new studio, which can be used by anyone interested in radio. As soon as the studio is ready, we will let you know!

In the summer, we realized the event series "Cultural Affairs - Kunst ohne Grenzen" with the Grassi Museum of Applied Arts and the Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung. We accompanied the exhibition of the same name with live interviews and musical contributions in front of the Grassi Museum. The focus was on topics such as "Diversity in the museum context" or "Graphic design and literature from a (post)migrant & racism-critical perspective". Big thanks to all contributors who made this project so great and exciting!

Another highlight: at the 45th Leipzig Jazz Days, we broadcast selected concerts live on our radio station. In musical performances on the theme of "Body Time," musicians highlighted aspects of physicality in the context of music production and reception. Because as we all know: "Touching is so 2019."

Big News: Since this year Lukas and Amelie are working as Bundesfreiwilligendienstler*innen in our association. Among other things, they take care of funding applications, initiate cooperations, are part of our editorial team, and do important organizational work in the background.

But not only our team is growing: In the last 12 months, our association has grown by 28 new members. As a result, we are able to cover more and more of our fixed costs through membership fees - yay!✨

Our program is also growing steadily: Last year alone we added 39 new shows, live streams, podcasts, and other formats.

Of course, all this is only possible thanks to you - our listeners, broadcasters, and supporters. Thank you for your ideas, your commitment, your interest, and your support! We are looking forward to the new year with many new projects. Until then: stay spherical!💜

About us

Sphere Radio is a non-commercial, interdisciplinary and free radio platform from the east of Leipzig. The aim of our platform is to promote exchange in society as well as local and national networking. The different opinions, needs and interests of different communities are to be presented in a diverse program in which emancipatory perspectives on society, culture, music and politics are in the foreground. Radio as a voice.

By integrating formats and programs that focus not only on music, but also on literature, visual arts, socioculture, educational or cultural policy, we strengthen interactions between local, national and international participants and reflect critically on social structures. We want to try new things and offer a platform for experimenting together. The aim is to create connections at eye level among all those involved - without capitalist exploitation pressure, without competition and in solidarity.

As an open, non-profit association, we would like to enable low-threshold access to the design of the program and thus also allow alternative broadcast formats to be created. People, institutions and collectives, regardless of their previous knowledge, can independently bring in ideas and transmit them either from our studio or, thanks to mobile transmission technology, from other locations. The programs are then made freely accessible in an archive.

In order to counteract the increasing polarization of society, we would like to make our platform available to people and groups who are socially marginalized, sexist and / or racially discriminated and therefore have no or only limited access to conventional media production.
