“e-Scape“ is an initiative of the group Ars Acustica of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).It promotes the renewal of the soundscape as an artistic genre of which radio broadcasting is the privileged vector, and of which numerous European radios are the pioneers. “e-Scape” wishes to revisit the sound environment of our cities, our countryside or our homes in a current context, which allows young radio and sound artists to fully exploit the newly available digital and interactive techniques in order to depict our everyday in entirely new expressive forms. “e-Scape” is called to unfold like a series of pan-European radiophonic events supported by the UER, which provides its satellite network, and which Radiophonic 2007 will inaugurate on the initiative of André Defossez (Musiq 3, RTBF). The second event in this series will be broadcast from Graz on 30th March 2008.

Kunstradio broadcasts recordings of the first edition: live sessions by Els Viaene and Dimitri Coppe on 25th October 2007, during the Radiophonic Festival in Brussels:
