RE: Horizontal Radio

Dear Elisabeth,
Following is the information about our HR programme.
What happened on our side: At first I planned to make a soundscape of Moscow with six microphones placed in different parts of the city. But the 22 of June in Russia was mourning day for the victims of military actions in Chechnya. And I decided to make a programme about the war. So in one day I changed all my planes and the set up of the programme.

Output:

The programme was broadcasted in Russia by "Radio 1 Ostankino", The Voice of Russia" shortwaves foreign service broadcasted the programm, in French, English, Italian, German, Spanish, Dutch, Swedish to Europe and in Arab and English to North Africa and Middle East.

Also the programme was submitted to Linz via mono line.

1. Horizontal radio back up tapes in studio. (We used two Austrian pieces by Auinger [#7 & 10 on the DAT]
2. Tapes of Chechen and Russian folk music.
3. Tape of the programme "Moscow Time" made by Helmut Kopetzky, Frankfurt/ Main
4. Last radio and TV information programmes recorded at 21.00 (our programme started at 21.30 Moscow time.)
5. Composer Boris Sokolov playing Musical synthesizer.
   
   We had on lines:
6. Lines from Berlin and Linz
7. Line from the Russian Orthodox church of St. Philip in MOSCOW
8. from Muslim mosque in Moscow. (There was no service at the moment of the programme but one Muslim believer agreed to read prayers for us)
9. Line from the studio of Radio 1 Ostankino with the Chorus of our Radio. The conductor agreed to start the rehearsal at the beginning of Horizontal Radio programme and we took a line from that studio.
