Side Effects is a radio feature dealing with the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on experimental musicians, local music scenes, and formats such as streaming and networked performances.

Drawing from my personal experiences with the side effects of pandemic-related restrictions on concert life and creative processes, I interviewed international artists to gather their thoughts. Have new fields of artistic activity opened up? What will endure? Are there any lasting changes in post-pandemic creative practices?

The featured music includes a concert by Namioto (Juliette Meyer and Yves Arques) with guests Luise Volkmann and Felix Mayer, recorded at LOFT in Cologne in July 2022, along with compositions and sketches by Birgit Ulher, Majid Araim, and Tetsuro Hori.

 

The project was made possible by a scholarship from Musikfonds e.V.

Side Effects was presented as part of the On air - On site radio art festival at the Institute of Sonology in The Hague in May 2024.
