ON AIR: Sloooooooooow Radioooooooooo
Dang a Dang Radio joins Slow Room for Bodies That Listen to transform the space into a temporary broadcast station.
Dang A Dang Radio will introduce the project and share past and upcoming programs, incorporating songs from our archive of protest music. We’ll play the songs we like in different formats– digital, tape, or vinyl– and share a bit of information about them to the audience. We’ll also invite people to join our upcoming projects, such as our Sound Assembly Open Call for broadcast material, field recordings, and sound art pieces.
“Mass Movement Worldwide” is a musical journey exploring the diverse spectrum of progressive music produced by Filipinos in different countries across the globe to advance the struggle for national liberation and genuine democracy in the Philippines.
When a person moves to a new place, time stops moving forward. It oscillates back and forth between pasts, presents, and futures. Wandering ghosts emerge with this condition, conjuring lost selves and possibilities while inventing new ones. In the one-hour radio episode “Interviews from the Horizon,” Filipino-Canadian composer Juro Kim Feliz unpacks layers of resistance as migrations materialize from the geographic and cultural to the artistic and political. Four of his acousmatic pieces and audio essays highlight glimpses of a reluctant engagement with electroacoustic media, relying instead on journalistic storytelling born from experiences as a radio producer and magazine writer to create soundings. Instead of objectifying and taking ownership, the artist positions nearby stories of resistance to maintain their sovereignty and autonomy. Speaking beyond the horizon, Feliz encourages listeners to migrate and unsettle listening frames towards ever-shifting socio-political landscapes beyond homes and homelands.
Dang A Dang Radio
Dang A Dang Radio (founded 2021, the Philippines; based in the Philippines) is guided and inspired by the Dagiti Kanta Ti Dangadang series of books containing progressive songs written by marginalized groups, and was formed in hopes of being a research, archival, and online radio platform that features songs, poetry, music, and field recordings of social movements for national liberation and democratic rights in the Philippines, the diaspora, and beyond. It aims to present, amplify, and highlight the rich history and tradition of protest music in the Philippines.
