“A Hush Descended on the City…”: Hidden Histories and Radio Remembrance
Posted August 8th, 2008 by adminIs Hidden Histories a micro-FM station, a sound installation, an audio tour, or a local history trail? Perhaps it is none of the above, or perhaps all four.

Hidden Histories -Review on Neural.it

I particularly like the last part of the article where it says:
"The Street Radio project can then be interpreted as the nth disproof of the short-sighted forecast stating that oral tradition would have been wiped out by the computer society. Today we can notice an emergent new form of orality that should be defined as a "tertiary", in the School of Toronto tradition, that taught us to consider the electronic-era orality as a secondary one."

Another listener at Node 07. Some people did seem to get quite into it and the feedback was quite overwhelmingly positive.

Hivenetwork crew, from left to right: Wolfgang Hauptfleisch, Alexei Blinov, Cieron Edwards. Do they look happy? Yes. Are they tired? I guess so, especially Wolfgang who had to come down to Southampton the day before to solve some last minute problems.

The three ladies in this image either work for Southampton City Council heritage services or support the OHU as a volunteer. They took their time to listen into each node and apparently enjoyed it.
