Raviv Ganchrow receives the Prix Phonurgia Nova 2019

Das Hörstück „Knallfunken“ von Raviv Ganchrow ist mit dem französischen Radiokunstpreis Prix Phonurgia Nova in der Kategorie „Art Sonore“ ausgezeichnet worden. …

Ganchrow teilt sich den Preis mit der belgischen Klangkünstlerin Anne Lepère, die für ihre Arbeit „Autopoïesis“ geehrt wurde.

Für „Knallfunken“ nutzte Ganchrow die Großfunkstelle Nauen, den ältesten noch in Betrieb befindlichen Radiosender der Welt. Hier zeichnete er elektromagnetische Signale von Blitzen auf, die er anschließend per Kurzwelle zurück in den Äther sandte. Seine Radiokomposition entstand im Auftrag von Deutschlandfunk Kultur mit freundlicher Unterstützung des Mondriaan Fonds. Das Hörstück wurde am 23. August 2019 im Kulturprogramm des nationalen Hörfunks urgesendet.
