CALL FOR AUDIO WORKS

We are looking for homemade radio - radio play, documentary, sound art and everything in between, no longer than 20 minutes, gladly shorter. The selected pieces are broadcast and discussed in the monthly program Kurzstrecke. The author receives payment for each piece that is broadcast.

Kurzstrecke is a joint project of the producers of Freispiel (experimental radio drama), Klangkunst (sound art), and Feature (documentary) on Deutschlandfunk Kultur, national public culture radio channel in Germany.

We support radio dramas that seek new forms of narration, sound art pieces that give noises a voice, and artistic documentaries that bring multi-faceted stories to the radio. All this is being produced in the "classic" one-hour format, but also in shorter forms that are nimble enough to break fresh ground and leave stylistic boundaries behind. We will present such audio miniatures every last Thursday of the month at 22:03 h CET (including one re-run a few days later and a seven day catch-up).
