Transmissions sans Frontières is a two-day conference sponsored by The Canadian Society for Independent Radio Production (CSIRP) with funding from the Ontario Trillium Foundation. Immediately following the International Features Conference in Toronto, it will offer attendees an opportunity to explore radio with some of the finest in Canadian, European, and American radio producers.



Presenters include: Peter Leonhard Braun, Garvia Bailey; Victoria Fenner, Anna Friz, Christos Hatzis, Kari Hesthamar, Julie Shapiro, Laurence Stevenson, Steve Wadhams, Gregory Whitehead, and Barb Woolner.

Transmissions sans Frontières is about transcending boundaries -- boundaries between art forms, boundaries between countries, boundaries between public and community broadcasting. It will encourage us to think of the airspace we all share, and how we can make the airwaves resonate with new voices and new ways of presenting ideas.



CSIRP was founded to serve the needs of Canadian radio producers in all sectors - community radio, public radio, and commercial radio. They host workshops, sponsor projects, and distribute a regular newsletter. Since their launch they have presented the Full Moon Audio Art Camp each year, the Creative Radio Initiative, now in its second year, and have produced two volumes of Radiant Dissonance, a radio series by Canadian audio artists which is heard on more than fifty stations in Canada and abroad.

Performance/sound artist Kathy Kennedy will invite participants gathered at the Pavillion on Centre Island to follow her sounds and enter into the Singing Maze, a sonic treasure hunt. The answers to questions lie in the trees and in the water. Birds give messages that only the most attentive listeners can decipher. A special guided tour of the Sign Waves installation series will follow this performance at 1:30 pm

New Adventures in Sound Art will celebrate 5 years of Sound Travels events in Toronto by presenting an international array of music from some the finest electroacoustic composers in the world. Audience members will be treated to the Toronto premiere of Francis Dhomont's "Here and There" (commissioned by New Adventures in Sound Art with live diffusion by David Eagle), works by Italian composers Laura Bianchini and Michelangelo Lupone, "Prince Prospero's Party" by Britain's Natasha Barrett, "Temple" by Vancouver's Barry Truax, and "Inside Out" by Toronto composer Randall Smith. All soundworks will be presented using an 8-channel array of speakers surrounding the audience with sounds that will transport them and fill the space with surprising sonic revelations.
