Radio Utopia

Description

An internet radio station based on the secluded utopian nature of the radio broadcast, At certain intervals the radio station will broadcast several methods of audible codes during a sound collage radio show. Listeners are enticed to decode the transmitted material and unravel the mysteries of a Radio Utopia.

A collage of sound fragments, pieces of spoken code placed within a radio utopia context, hints to where code's need to be placed, interviews on radio and its relation to utopia.

Instead of presenting a chronologically unified, coherent narrative, I will scatter pieces of the story across the Internet and other media, allowing players to reassemble it, supply connective tissue and determine what it means.

Media

Photos

  • At least 2, Max 5.
  • native resolution only (that is the highest resolution you have for your photo and whatever resolution if you make screencaps)
  • PNG format

Video

optional unless the final outcome of the project, or one of its main components, is a video/film/animation.

  • allowed containers/codecs combos:
    • WebM (preferred):
      • Video codec: VP8 (3-5 Mbps data rate)
      • Audio codec: Vorbis (-q 6)
    • Ogg:
      • Video codec: Theora (3-5 Mbps data rate)
      • Audio codec: Vorbis (-q 6)
    • MP4:
      • Video Codec: H.264 (3-5 Mbps data rate)
      • Audio Codec: AAC (160kbps or 384kbps if 5.1) or MP3 (-V0 or -b 320)
  • resolution: 720p if source >= 720p, native resolution otherwise, progressive.
  • FPS: 24, 25, 30.
  • Sample rate:
    • 44.1kHz if source is 44.1kHz or 88.2kHz
    • 48 kHz if source is 48kHz or 96kHz
    • 44.1 kHz for everything else.

Audio

optional unless the final outcome of the project, or one of its main components, is a sound piece/track.

  • allowed containers/codecs combos:
    • Ogg: Vorbis (-q 6) preferred
    • MPEG: MP3 (-V0 or -b 320)
    • FLAC (-8)
  • Sample rate:
    • 44.1kHz if source is 44.1kHz or 88.2kHz
    • 48 kHz if source is 48kHz or 96kHz
    • 44.1 kHz for everything else.
  • Do not transcode! For instance, if the sound generated is directly an MP3, do not re-encode it with the settings above or with a different codec. Only encode original uncompressed or lossless compressed sources.

Essay

Abstract and bibs/ref + link to PDF (PDF must be uploaded to wiki).
Use Steve's recommendations for abstract length and bibliographic style.

Additional Information

non optional

  • One page itemised budget estimate

optional

  • Project URL (if lives on an external site)
  • extra wiki links (in case you have relevant notes/journals/documentation in your User: page, this is useful particularly if you have been asked to articulate further or refine your project during your assessment)
  • Animated GIFs
