Pre-Festival Radio Broadcasting
When it comes to listening, we can't ignore the radio medium. As we get ready for next week's festival weekend, we're collaborating with two internet stations this week: Echobox Radio and Radio TNP. On Friday, May 5, we invite the Ukraine Resistance Radio's curators for a show at Echobox. On Sunday May 7, we'll have four hours of music to introduce our festival theme in collaboration with Radio TNP. Tune into the Internet radio waves and read more about the two shows.
FIBER invites Ukraine Resistance Radio at Echobox
May 5, 13:00 - 14:00 CEST
For the second time, Ukraine Resistance Radio goes live. This time the curatorial team will be hosting a live show with contributions of Ukrainian musicians, broadcasting from Echobox Radio in Amsterdam as part of the upcoming FIBER Festival.
As the Russian invasion of sovereign Ukraine continues and tries to silence its culture, it is important to listen to and accommodate Ukrainian voices, culture and music together. Expect one hour of experimental and underground music from Ukrainian artists. You can hear the transmission live on Echobox Radio from 1 PM through 2 PM CET. After this, the show will be available to stream from Echobox’s website.
The Ukraine Resistance Radio project aims to amplify the experimental sounds and music of Ukrainian artists and their collaborations with international musical allies. All the sounds are collected through an open call both from artists inside the country working amidst power cuts, military service, & other obstacles, and Ukrainian artists working abroad.
The music on this show is curated by Sophia Bulgakova, an interdisciplinary Ukrainian artist currently based in the Netherlands; Dmytro Fedorenko, an artist and Ukrainian experimental electronic musician; producer, DJ and technologist Peter Kirn; and Lithuanian rock musician Andrius Mamontovas.

FIBER Fragments at Radio TNP
May 7, 13:00 - 17:00 CEST
In collaboration with Radio TNP, FIBER presents a four-part programme featuring some festival artists and other local artists from our networks in line with our festival theme Fragments.
FIBER | 13:00 - 14:00
Constanza Castagnet (DJ) | aux) | 14:00 - 15:00
Castle (DJ) | 15:00 - 16:00
Know V.A. (DJ) | 16:00 - 17:00
We’ll start the broadcast with a selection of tracks from the festival programme and a short Q&A with one of our guests about listening, sound and memory.
After this, Constanza Castagnet starts. She is an Amsterdam-based Argentinean artist who works with voice, language, and technology. Her experimental works blend sound, text, performance, and video to create eerie environments that challenge the limits of sense and question conventional notions of communication. Her show delivers a blend of cinematic ambient and otherworldly sounds. Through a collection of obscure voices, melodic ambience, field recordings, dreamy whispers, and abstract electronics, she wishes to open to listeners her own archive of sonic inspiration.
Our second guest is Castle. His sets, productions and performances are all built around a singular theme "Being thrown into a world". Through the use of a harsher and more extreme sonic palette, Castle focuses on presenting and subjecting his audience to alternative narratives with an ideological basis. His sets can best be described as highly versatile forms of sound collage that draw upon an eclectic repository with the goal of instilling a sense of psychotic ecstasy in the listener.
Closing the broadcast are the duo Know V.A. They are sophisticated sonic sculptors and atmospheric worldbuilders, using fragments from hard-dance traditions, which are meticulously reconstructed into new melodic elements. The results are emotionally charged rhythms and ghostly hyper-realities. Sharp micro sounds are right in front of you, while massive basses fade in and out of focus, making listening to Know V.A. 's artistic output a strong spatial experience. With their artful approach to the hardcore continuum, they lead you past unexpected futuristic and human-machine entwined sound spaces.
