A2 Abd El Monim: sound installation in the Silver Room

On Air - On Site is a sound investigation of a temporary radio event consisting

of a broadcast schedule of 48 hours of non-stop streaming, including live

performances/ shows, fixed media, and prerecorded work specifically

composed for the festival.

By re-thinking radio as a social-public space for artistic involvement, and as an exhibition

space for experimental sound art and electronic music, the event is part of a larger

initiative to establish an experimental community radio station based in The Hague called

BUG radio, which officially started streaming from autumn 2024. The event will explore

the boundaries of being simultaneously on air in a physical and virtual space, challenging

different radio formats.

The 2025 edition will be held from May 23 at 20.00 until May 25 at 20.00 CEST, online, on

the FM, and on site. The live performances will take place on May 24th in the New Music

Lab of the Institute of Sonology and on May 25th at West Den Haag. The project invites

the involved artists and the public to consider the physical spaces as a context rather

than a location and to rethink together a different relationship between communities and

experimental radio practice. The event aims to promote the medium of radio as an art

form and encourage experimental approaches to make radio. On Air — On Site brings

together diverse artist communities and students from the Institute of Sonology,

Composition and Art Science department, Tonka Radio, Cashmere Radio in Berlin, Noise

à Noise from Tehran and other independent artists.

On Sunday the 25th, we will be live streaming directly from the West Den Haag

auditorium, with a programme including diverse live performances by Ruben Brovida,

Milana Zarić, Jeremi Biziuk and A2 Abd El Monim presenting a sound installation in the

Silver Room. All live events will also be broadcast to the external Pavilion space, making

them accessible to all visitors throughout the day.

The event will be streamed on the dedicated website hosting the Web Radio:
