Where is “Moradio”?Locality, presence and non-presence in “post-radio” practice Sam Coley and Paul Long
PRESENTATION: • Origins and character of Moradio • The ‘who’, ‘what’ and ‘where’ of Moradio • (POST) Radio practices in production and consumption • A new relation with the audience
A context for radio practice • UK Radio terrain & Birmingham • ‘Local’ stations – BBC WM (PSB), Heart, Galaxy, BRMB (commercial) • Present ‘physically’ but programmed globally • Music dominated
Making ‘space’ for Moradio • The makers – BCU and community • Online – present in name only • Identity of station and space • From streaming to self-selection ‘menu’ • Local interactions and action • Slideshows visualise audio • Hyper-local?
Post-radio = ? • No regulation, no temporal limits • Liberation from ratings – beyond formulae and focus group • Audio qualities and experiment
‘Listening’ to Moradio • From listener to contributor • ‘The valuable listener’ – hyper individual • Present and non-present communities in communication • Sustainability through usability
