SON[I]A

sonia: Magnitude that expresses the level of sonorous sensation produced by an intense sound.

The RWM emits SON[I]A, its first program, since May 2 2006.

SON[I]A aims to be an alternative way to receive the information produced during Museum activities; audio information brought to us by characters who take part in activities in and around the MACBA. It allows us to experiment with the radio format as a space for synthesis, using audio recordings from past Museum activities that are still relevant and of interest to our listeners.
