Eastern Daze (via Cashmere Radio)

An audio collage, replete with interviews and sonic ephemera from Lucia’s intrepid travels around central and eastern Europe. Initially an audio travelogue, Easterndaze has talked to bedroom producers, DIY label owners and organisers from Bucharest to Skopje, Poznan to Kosice. The project connects and uncovers projects/labels/musicians/initiatives emerging from the region, exploring their specific sociopolitical, economic and historical contexts. Cashmere Radio is a not-for-profit community experimental radio station based in Lichtenberg, Berlin. The ambition of the station is to preserve and further radio and broadcasting practices by playing with the plasticity and malleability of the medium. We do this by both honouring and challenging its inherent qualities: it is both a physical station open to the public and an online radio; it has regular shows, yet opens itself up to extended and one-off events; it features extended generative music performances and installations at the same time as working within radio’s typical durations. In short, it is an attempt to enhance and celebrate the performative, social and informative power of radio that we believe lies within the form itself.
