During the residency, you’ll get the opportunity to learn more about Cashmere Radio’s artistic and community-based approach to radio broadcasting, get access to their studio facilities, present your own music through their radio channel, and meet with different institutions from Berlin within the field of sound art and experimental music.

About the residency

Cashmere Radio is more than merely a radio station. Rather, they’re working with radio as an art form, often presenting experimental formats. At the heart of their institution is a strong commitment to community building – thus, their station isn’t just a place to broadcast music, but a place to gather, share artistic visions and take part in their community. As part of the residency, Cashmere will give you a 1-day presentation on how they work with radio on both a practical, artistic and social level.

If you’re selected for the residency, you’ll also get the chance to present your work – either existing or work in progress – on their radio channel. Likewise, you’ll get daily access to their studio facilities in case you intend to work on a new project during your stay.

As part of their residency, Cashmere Radio will facilitate network meetings with members of the radio, as well as people and organisations from their network working with sound art and experimental music.
