Radio Pedestrian is a street radio of encounters. Through a sign with the question „How do we change?“, a big black radio-flag, smiling and eye contact people should get encouraged to give an interview.
From these interviews evolved seven radio-shows that were part of shift.fm: an 8-day long radio-marathon of the chair of experimental radio at the bauhaus-university weimar.
This specific show was nearly entirely recorded at Theaterplatz, the very centre of Weimar. It consists of musical elements (live recorded compositions and improvisations on the guitar), sketchy speech-diary entrys during the process, ambient recordings of the space, as well as the interviews. All those elements were arranged in a way to be as pleasant and easy to understand as possible. The first and most conventional show of Radio Pedestrian came into being.
Thanks very much again to the participants: Paula, the unknown family father and cyclist, Jiabao and Maria Garcia!
