and welcome, and warm greetings from us, Ellem, Þórir, Jonatan, Lasse and Mariana, on behalf of Seyðisfjördur Community Radio.
every month you will find in this jar a variety of invitations to contribute, participate and tune in.
this newsletter is, among other things, also a vessel for a Radio School: A radio making school, making school over radio.
a radio school in close collaboration with the LungA School.
a frequency for sharing voices and perspectives on air.
Lately
we have been reading a book*
which is not a book about community radio
but it could be
it is perhaps a book about
study
as in
making school together
On page 125 of the book there are a few sentences
that have infused the aether
with enthusiasm:
“I believe in the world and want to be in it.
I want to be in it all the way to the end of it
because I believe in another world in the world
and I want to be in that.”
in this newsletter:
some things have been - and you can listen
some things will be - and you can join

FREE VERSION
In the corridors we hear things
these things sound different, in other tongues
We hear things in the corridors
In (between) other tongues things sound different.
We like the sounds other tongues make
Other tongues make sounds and we like them.
In a room a voice is reading a poem in spanish
In the corridors we translate and compose a free version of it.
Once a month we get together to translate a free version of a poem, from Spanish to English. You are welcome to join in the room 7101071000, or just listen.
This month the session will be on the 28th of July, 18.00 Seyðisförður time.
QMC (an invitation)
a note on the “quotation mark collection” / “QMC” / “words”:
“they” say that in this “radio / school” there “should be” a “collection”.
A “collection” of “words”. “Words” that are under the suggestion of being considered expressed in quotation marks. To “us”, there can be a lot of “reasons” to ”put” a “word” in quotation marks (fx tension, urgency, comedy - you name it). No need to “reveal” / “explain” your “reasons” for why this “word” is “put” in quotation marks, but you’re welcome to.
We declare the “collection” to be “open”. Both for interpretation and for submission.
We would love to receive your “word(s)”.
If you feel like it, it’s as simple as sending an email to [email protected] with a recording of your “word(s)”. Format: “audio”.
The “quotation mark collection” “will be” “on air” every “day” at 10.45 Seyðisfjörður “time” at www.seydisfjordurcommunityradio.net.
Beside the “words” in this “note” on this “new” “collection”, We would like to also “intentionally” add these 3 “words”:
“stupid” - “sunset” - “bottom line”.
Studio Visit
