radio is happening
when people ‘loiter’ in public places

Radio Armed Response - Vibrö 5
(track 12)
Claudia Wegener (alias, Radio Continental Drift) walks the streets of two suburban
communities in Johannesburg S.A. In door to door interviews, through intercom systems and
across gates, she asks questions related to public safety and a privatised security system. In
surprisingly intimate, often humorous conversations, narratives of a complex urban patchwork
of communities unfold before your ‘very eyes’. What unravels, far beyond ‘issues of security’,
or social and urban divisions are shared concerns, questions, stories and visions of and about
people living together. Metadata and Credits: The new edit for vibrö was completed in Durban
SA in October 2008. Recordings in Sandton and Soweto in March 2006 were realised with
the friendly assistance of Stephen Hobbs; the first edit of a half-hour piece assisted by Ismail
Farouk; both Joburg artists. I owe the Goethe Institute an acknowledgement for the occasion
that initiated the project; the Goethe Institute still owes us the fees. A one-hour radio piece
was produced for Resonance104.4fm and broadcast on 27 April 2007.
