TRANSMITTER = RECEIVER = CONCRETE RADIO
Concrete Radio attempts to describe the relationship between producer and originator, by exploring the liminal space of transmitting and receiving.
Broadcasting within a highly localised area, Concrete Radio occupies a large space within a short distance, transmitting a programme of found fragments, historical recordings and audio performances.
Broadcasting on 103.5 FM within a radius of approximately 10 metres, Concrete Radio’s first transmissions were at Outhouse (part of Outpost) No 20, Colgate, Norwich, NR4 1BQ during July and August 2009. Concrete Radio is a collaboration with Karen Di Franco.

TAJINDER DHAMI | WARNING !
A leading United Nations scientist has confirmed that the H1N1 swine flu virus contains certain transmission ‘vectors’ that suggests that the new flu strain has been genetically-manufactured in a laboratory. In July 2009, Austrian journalist Jane Bürgermeister’s filed criminal charges of bio-terrorism with the FBI against a interconnected syndicate which includes The President of the United States, The World Health Organization, and Baxter International, for having developed, produced, stockpiled, tested and then released a biological weapon into the public domain with an genocidal intentions. It has been reported that swine flu vaccination will be compulsory for all in a state of Marshal Law, with custodial lockdowns for those who refuse to take part in the program, leading to the idea that the virus may not be the biggest danger… it may be the vaccination.
This broadcast presents an alternative interpretation of ‘The Pandemic’ events unfolding on goal orientated radio, attempting to negate constructed fact and constructed fiction… it may even save your life !
