On Air

The music on the radio is background and must support an existing structure and leave space for discussion, other sounds, other sound events. Une musique d’habillement that is not invasive and that allows other things to exist. The radio imposes a passive aspect of listening, unlike the cd or the vinyl, which requires us to…

The Tibetan word bardo (བར་དོ་ Wylie: bar do) means literally « intermediate state »—also translated as « transitional state » or « in-between state » or « liminal state ».
