Art Music Denmark and Cashmere Radio are happy to yet again offer an artistic residency at their Berlin-based studio for one artist from Denmark working with sound art or contemporary music this year.
The residency takes place on October 13-20 at Cashmere Radio’s Studio in Wedding, Berlin as well as at a private place of residence within walking distance from the studio. During the residency, you’ll get the opportunity to develop, present and broadcast a sound piece or artistic radio program at the internationally acclaimed community radio as well as participate in a curated network program.
About the residency
The residency involves daily access to Cashmere Radio’s studio facilities, where one will be able to work with one’s own artistic radio broadcast or sound piece, and a curated network program.
Your suggested work can either be in the form of a new sound art piece, or it can be in the form of an artistic radio program, preferably related in one way or another to the Danish contemporary music and sound art scenes. The format is completely open, but could for instance involve interviews, field recordings, a reportage or live recording. It can also be more experimental and break with formal formats for radio. It can either be a project that you’re already working on and wish to develop further or finish at Cashmere or something completely new.
During your residency, you’ll also be invited to up to three different network meetings with other relevant institutions, organisations or actors from the experimental music scene in Berlin. The network program will be curated by Cashmere Radio in accordance with the selected artist’s professional interests, as stated in the application.
Requirements and practicalities
The residency is available for one person. You can either represent yourself as a solo artist or as part of a group, such as an artistic collective or ensemble. It is required that you’re affiliated with or part of the Danish sound art or contemporary music scenes in Denmark, though you need not be a Danish citizen.
Prior to the residency, Cashmere Radio and Art Music Denmark will offer online feedback on your suggested project, if wanted.
Prior to and during your stay, you’ll be connected with a contact person from Cashmere Radio’s board, who’ll coordinate the network program and your studio visits as well as answer any practical questions that you may have during your stay.
During your residency you’ll get professional assistance to their facilities in regards to your work there, which will be available for you on a daily basis. By the end of your residency, you’ll get the chance to present your work at the radio station, which will also be broadcasted.
Your work doesn’t need to be finished and can easily be in the form of a processual presentation of work in progress. By the time that it’s finished, Cashmere Radio also offers to present it in its final form. It’s expected that you intend to finish it in the time following your residency, though no exact deadline will be given.
Cashmere Radio will assist with the production during and, if needed, after your stay.
Art Music Denmark covers travel expenses, accommodation at a hotel in walking distance to Cashmere Radio and per diem (fixed budget).
Neither Cashmere Radio nor Art Music Denmark offer insurance in case of any accidents during your residency.
Selection and application
All applications will be considered by a panel consisting of representatives from Cashmere Radio’s board and Art Music Denmark’s Music Committee. Applicants will receive an answer in June, after all applications have been reviewed.
Deadline: June 9, 23.59
