« Good evening, we are playing Stille Post (Telephone). » This was the opening line spoken by an announcer on the long and middle wave frequencies of Deutschlandradio the night of March 21, 2009. On that night, Alessandro Bosetti and the Klangkunst group of the station set in motion a radio art version of the popular game. They created a gigantic sound poetry generator on the frequencies of the German national broadcasting station.
During this event, almost incomprehensible radio messages were transmitted and transcribed multiple times until they mutated into abstract, musical, mysterious and sometimes surprisingly funny material. This process was made possible through the active participation of listeners all over the world. Arcoparlante is an electromagnetic feast of misunderstanding on a grand scale.
