Radioscape III - a project by Edwin van der Heide
There are fifteen transmitters installed around and on the Leidseplein in Amsterdam, each broadcasting it's own musical layer. Van der Heide designed a receiver that allows you to receive and mix the signals of two, three or more transmitters simultaneously. At a certain moment you receive one transmitter the strongest, the second a bit softer and the rest might be inaudible. By walking through the environment the balance between the transmitters is changing, new ones are fading in while others are fading out. Van der Heide: "The city centre forms a musical labyrinth with different layers of sound that, together, form a meta composition. By moving you mix the different layers which lead to new combinations and interferences." 

Period
Radioscape is open from Thursday the 28th of October till (including) Sunday the 7th of november. 

Participation
Radioscape is freely accessible for the audience. In order to borrow the receiver you have to deposit either 50 euro's or an id card. You have up to one hour to 'radioscape' 

Handout point
You can obtain a Radioscape receiver at the counter of De Balie. They can be fetched between 13:00 and 20:00
Radioscape III is part of the Interzone series by De Balie, a series of artistic explorations crossing the borders between the existing artistic disciplines.
