Active in research and artistic, sound and musical creation, Konnekt promotes the emulation and development of sound arts as well as the bringing together of multiple cultural players.
Konnekt Association is a wonderfully engaged and supportive organisation to work with. Through them I was able to enjoy much needed restorative time and given the space and time to re-evaluate, renew and reconnect with my artistic work and also to share ideas and to be inspired by others. Konnekt provides an invaluable resource for musicians at any stage of their careers.

After switching off its FM transmitters on December 31, 2024, the SSR is facing a political reversal that extends FM broadcasting for private radio stations until at least 2026 and reopens—without a clear deadline—the question of a return of public service broadcasting to the FM band. This “end,” which ultimately turns out to be aborted, also marks the announced disappearance of a sonic universe made up of crackles, whistles, and noise—experiences inseparable from listening to and manipulating an analog radio receiver. On this occasion, Konnekt has brought together a series of artists exploring radio—both as a sound machine and as a medium—diverting, transforming, and “hacking” it through performances and sound installations, revealing the evocative power of a bygone era.
