Saout Radio is a web-radio and also a platform. It
was first created with the intention of exploring and promoting
radiophonic and sonic art practices in the artistic scenes of the
Maghreb, Africa and the Middle-East. Founded in Morocco, in 2012 by the
artists Younes Baba-Ali (b.1986) and Anna Raimondo
(b.1981), this platform is meant to be an artistic, and pedagogical
space which aims to promote a south-south dialogue within the artistic
radiophonic practices. Saout Radio is a sonic window and a space for
new creations (soundscapes, radio art, documentaries, experimental
music, slam, etc.) from all over the Maghreb, Africa and the
Middle-East, intended to be broadcasted throughout Fm radios but also
exposed in art institutions, galleries or independent spaces of
exhibition. Excluding visa or borderland issues, these proposals travel
through Arabic and African countries and, also, across the European
continent. For example, Saout Radio proposed in February 2014 the
project “here.now.where?” for the 5th Marrakech Biennale
(Marrakech, Ma), with sonic journeys in local taxis based on works of
radio and sound art. Or for example in November 2012, Saout Radio
curated the listening session “Moroccan mix” at the
Victoria and Albert Museum (London, Uk), presenting a panorama of
contemporary audible art from Morocco by inviting 11 artists from
different disciplines and generations. The same selection had been
diffused in different places at San Paulo Biennial, on Mobile Radio Bsp
(Brazil); at the art center “La Centrale-for contemporary
art” (Brussels, Belgium) and in other venues. Saout Radio also
offers radio art and sound art workshops and listening sessions. Kunstradio events: 24.02.2014: Im Zauberberg Kunstradio broadcasts:
