The ICAS RADIO broadcasted the second time live from Insomnia Festival on the Austrian Broadcasting Service ORF Ö1 presenting ECAS projects, the ICAS partner's project, and sounds from above the polar circle. One could listen via the ORF website live.
The austrian-norwegian cooperation outdoor orchester Environmental Auditors presented their live performance the first time during musikprotokoll 2013 festival in Graz. In Tromsø the eight musicians invited again to to listen closely. They played a 1800 squaremeter large and empty hall of a brewery. The concert can be heard at the end of this ICAS RADIO recording. Environmental Auditors weave a concert made of environmental and surrounding sounds, improvising freely, the actual listening experience bring into attention.
This is matching the ECAS project which issued "Ubiquitous Art and Music" at this phase of the project. Insomnia is one of the three ECAS-Festivals, that dedicated themselves to this topic during this working phase, also through further projects, for instance the workshop by Locomofon and “wearable audio computing” and the project BUQS by Teun Verkert and Joris Hoogeboom.
In addition, various musicians were presented that were guests at Insomnia 2013. Also we had invited a part of the Insomnia team to produce the show with us.
