Norient TIMEZONES 

TIMEZONES PODCAST-SERIE AUF RADIO X

Die Podcast-Reihe TIMEZONES erkundet die vielfältigen Realitäten von Künstler*innen und ihrer Praktiken weltweit und stellt die Frage: Was bedeutet es heute, in verschiedenen Ländern, Städten und Kontexten im Bereich Kultur und Kunst zu leben und zu arbeiten? Die  Reise geht von Nairobi über Rio de Janeiro  bis nach Beirut und Mount Makiling auf den Philippinen / die Ukraine und verarbeitet die Gedanken und Stimmungen der Künstler*innen, ihre sozialen, politischen und intellektuellen Realitäten und ihre(Lebens-) Philosophien zu künstlerischen Audiocollagen. 

TIMEZONES spielt dabei mit Formaten und Inhalten: der Podcast bewegt sich zwischen Journalismus und Experiment, Dokumentation, Ethnografie, Fiktion, Klangkunst oder Improvisation. Georgrafische Grenzen, Zeitzonen, Genres und Praktiken sollen überschritten und mit neuen künstlerischen Formen des Austauschs, des Zuhörens und des Erzählens experimentiert werden. Gemeinsam mit lokalen Produzent*innen und Künstler*innen entstehen dabei sehr persönliche Portraits und aktuelle Geschichten aus Städten rund um den Globus, die einen sehr subjektiven Eindruck in das weltweite und aktuelle Musik-und Kunstgeschehen ermöglichen.

TIMEZONES ist ein gemeinsames Projekt des Goethe-Instituts und Norient, dem weltweiten Redaktionsnetzwerk für zeitgenössische Musik- und Medienkulturen. 

Radio X ist neu als Partner mit an Bord: Als Weiterführung der im 2022 gestarteten Sendereihe airtime!, die künstlerischen Stimmen aus dem Globalen Süden und Osten Gehör verschafft, strahlen wir einmal im Monat eine Podcast-Folge aus.

ENG: 

The TIMEZONES podcast series plunges into the world of artists and their practices, asking: what does living and working in culture and the arts involve in different countries, cities, and contexts today? The experimental journey goes from Nairobi via Rio de Janeiro to Beirut and Mount Makiling in the Philippines/Ukraine and brings the he artists’ thoughts on their moods, their social, political, and intellectual realities and their philosophies (of life) into experimental audio collages.

The TIMEZONES podcasts run the gamut of formats and content, from straight journalism to experimental and documentary approaches, ethnography and fiction, sound art, and improvisation. The series endeavors to create new artistic forms of storytelling, listening and exchange across the boundaries of geography, time zones, genres, and practices. Together with local producers and artists, the podcast creates very personal portraits and current stories from cities around the globe, which allow a very subjective impression of the worldwide and current music and art scenes.

The Timezones Podcast Series is co-initiated and co-produced by the Goethe-Instituts and Norient, the worldwide platform and network for contemporary music and media cultures. 

Radio X is now on board as a partner: As a continuation of the series airtime!, which was launched in 2022 and which makes artistic voices from the Global South and East heard, we broadcast a podcast episode once a month.

Infos zu den Künstler:innen:

KATJA BRUNNER
Katja Brunner (*1991 in Zurich) is a Swiss author who is not afraid to say unpleasant things. Be it the decline of old age, child abuse or grief, she does not reject negative feelings, but sees them as an important part of humanity and her own texts. ‘Katja is a painter of language,’ says director Heike M. Goetze, with whom Brunner has already realised two plays, such as her first play “Von den Beinen zu kurz”, for which she was the youngest winner of the prestigious Mülheim Playwright's Prize in 2013. And “Geister sind auch nur Menschen”, a play from the abyss of lived lives, against the impositions of old age. Brunner also writes audio plays and spoken texts, which she sometimes performs herself: In “Dimension der Tragödie”, from 2021, she speaks to us from a tower about the dead of the pandemic and those left behind. Her works are not about being presented with solutions, but above all about enduring the fact that certain content is ambiguous. Brunner's plays have premiered at the Schauspielhaus Zürich, Schauspiel Köln, Schauspiel Leipzig and the Volksbühne Berlin, among others. Currently Brunner's Shakespeare adaptation, directed by Pinar Karabulut, is running at the Deutsches Theater Berlin, as well as “DIE HAND IST EINSAMER JÄGER” at the Bonn Theatre. She is part of the Zurich collective Rauf, a regulars' table of female* writers from all over Switzerland, which focuses on intergenerational exchange, networking and archive work in memory of forgotten female artists.

DERYA ATAKAN & LAIMA PRIEDITE
Derya Atakan (born in the Bavarian haze of the nineties)
emerges as an opera performer, bringing together the three forces of opera, punk and the sounds of the Levant. Original compositions and opera references in her work serve as an invitation to collective metamorphosis. The absurdity and comedy of human everyday life, as well as the forces of nature, are brought into focus through the soprano voice. The incompatible and opposing elements embrace. Pathos meets irritation, slapstick meets seriousness, and dream meets reality.
For the set „please pronouns my name” Derya teams up with the producer and performer Laima Priedite. Laima`s music is a constant flow where noisy fragments and crystal-clear melodies wrestle to merge into a hypnotic harmony.
Together they present you an eclectic yet decisive sonic journey of opera core.

JULES PETRU
Jules will show an excerpt of their newest productions "Trancestors - on the paths of our queer ancestors". Together with their collaborator and co-performer Aaa Biczysko the two genderfluid performers shed light on the paths of their queer and trans*trailblazers in a ritualistic endeavor that ties our trans liberation struggles to our collective freedom struggles of our tumultuous time. Through movement, sound, and audio fragments the piece captures the raw energy of sacred resistance and conjures the spirits of our trancestors. Common threads between Knecht's exhibition "Home Is A Foreign Place" and the rendition of Trancestors are topics of (be)longing, queer ancestory, the common queer liberation struggle, and the role of the trans*community on the forefront.

FIJI
‘A seductive, dirty, wild story’. ‘A band with its own aesthetic, its own sound, away from the pop label’. ‘Sexy disco beats, solid techno, spherical, even dark synthpop ballads, trance, lascivious electroclash, with a dash of nostalgia’. (Martin Burkhalter, Berner Zeitung, 2019)
