Radius features a new project semi-monthly with statements by artists who use radio as a primary element in their work. Radius provides artists with live and experimental formats in radio programming.<\/p>\n

The goal is to support work that engages the tonal and public spaces of the electromagnetic spectrum.<\/p>\n

All audio works are broadcasted locally on 88.9 fm with a secondary stream online.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Radius’ website contains audio by episode<\/a>. Most of this work is toward the art spectrum of the sonic journey–me, I love it.<\/p>\n

Want a taste? Check out some of this audio from Episode 08 by Osvaldo Cibils:
