Radio X is launching its new cutting edge studio in the Dreispitz in the coming weeks at the site of the Kunstfreilager. The English Show returned to the airwaves in a provisional studio in anticipation of the full scale launch next month.
Sarah und Claire Bowmanvisited Basel last May. We spoke with them as they were setting up their show at the Parterre. Matt Morelock put it best "The Bowmans sound is like- if Simon and Garfunkel were two twin sisters from Iowa." We took the opportunity to find out more about these gals and their music, and how changes inthe music industry are affecting them.
We look at another side of the evolution of the music industry when we talk to Ken Freedman, Station Manager of WFMU NJ, and originator of the copywright-cleared free music archive ( "It's not just free music; it's good music" ). Ken was in Basel to speak at the open media conference two weeks ago. Maria and Matt brought Ken to the studio to tell us a bit about the conference, ongoing changes in radio broadcasting and Basel's contribution to the development of open media.
