Holland Doc is a crossmedial documentary platform that brings TV-, film- and radiodocumentaries together in one website. It highlights the actual documentaries that are broadcasted per week and has a growing -on demand- archive that mixes radio and TV productions per theme. For radiodocumentary this platform brings on a lot of extra listeners that are potentially interested in radiodocumentary but stopped listening to the radio and since then couldn’t find them anymore. Being connected to a crossmedial platform and close to TV also protects radiodocumentary from being taken of the air and the budgets. |

John Cage on YouTube
thanks to: Ward Weis (B)

John Cage performing “Water Walk” in January, 1960 on the popular TV show I’ve Got A Secret.

“At the time, Cage was teaching Experimental Composition at New York City’s New School. Eight years beyond 4:33, he was (as our smoking MC informs us) the most controversial figure in the musical world at that time. His first performance on national television was originally scored to include five radios, but a union dispute on the CBS set prevented any of the radios from being plugged in to the wall. Cage gleefully smacks and tosses the radios instead of turning them on and off.
While treating Cage as something of a freak, the show also treats him fairly reverentially, cancelling the regular game show format to allow Cage the chance to perform his entire piece.

We have lost a good friend; Peter Kristiansen
Danmarks Radio’s feature group is sad to announce the death of one of it’s most important members, Peter Kristiansen. Peter died last week after a brief battle with cancer.
Peter created radiophonic works of the highest calibre throughout his long career at DR, most notably for the international feature communty his work ‘The elite from the minefield’ which claimed the Prix Italia in 1989, and in recent years as senior editor of the feature slot ‘Ultrasound’.
Peter was nothing less than unique, a born feature maker who lived and breathed radio for over forty years. During his career he managed to produce a body of work that only very few will ever equal.
His anarchistic and very characteristic editorial style has encouraged and nurtured many new talents in feature making over recent years. His skill as an interviewer and collector of stories, his perfectionism in editing and his sheer audacity with subject matter has meant that in recent years that Peter’s work has attained recognition and even cult status.He will be sorely missed.
His funeral on July 7 comes just one day before the official closing of DR’s old ‘Radio House’, and one week before the biggest purge in DR’s history, which as many of you may know includes the closure of the radio features departments and the subsequent end of that genre at DR. Truly Peter’s death, in so many ways, marks the end of an era for many of us here in Denmark. In spite of this bitter ending, Peter’s memory will for many of us, always remind us of golden age of radio at DR. Peter Kristiansen was 65.

Dear Colleagues,
At a time when we thought the news from DR could not get worse, it has. We have lost a good friend. Peter was a man of great intellect, wit and kindness; a wonderful companion and a generous colleague. He bore his illness with characteristic grace and dignity, making easy for those who met him that which was so difficult to bear. Our wish for him was that he would have more time but this was not to be. So now our thoughts must go out to his family and his colleagues for whom his passing will leave a huge absence.

Our dear friend and appreciated colleague from the Danish Radio, Mr.
Peter Kristiansen, died yesterday due to a gallopping lung cancer. His
deparment at DR is also being closed down soon due to heavy cut-downs
within the Danish Radio. Peter Kristiansen was always curious and
constantly seeking new ways of producing radio. For many years, he was
responsable for “Lydmuren” at the Danish Radio, a vital and important
laboratory and production-platform for especially young musicians, poets
and writers who wanted to produce experimental radio which ranged from
both experimental documentaries to ars acustica. Peter Kristiansen was
always an attentive listener and sensitive person with a soft-speaking
voice and a great sense of humour. He will be missed by the whole ars
acustica society and of course by us in the EBU Ars Acustica who had the
privilege to know him well during our specialized meetings and our
common projects

After IFC – sad news from DR
Dear Colleagues,
We promised to keep you informed about the development in DR’s financial disaster and the threat to close DR’s radio feature production. I am very sorry to inform you, that the threat unfortunately did materialise last Thursday.
Though, we experienced a fantastic support from you, and from all over Danish Society, the Board and Management of DR defended their decision to the bitter end. The Danish Association of the Blinds came to our support, three Journalist Schools, researchers and professors from four universities, the cultural elite, media-spokesmen of the political parties, media experts and listeners who signed a petition. We arranged hearings and wrote protests, and had a fantastic press coverage and sympathy in editorials and articles, unfortunately all with no effect.
The two programmes ULTRALYD and DOKUMENTARZONEN will be closed by the end of this year, and staffs of the two programmes have received a notice of termination of their contracts with DR.
Only a very few of us are offered new positions from 2008, and it seems that a very little “stamp” of radio documentary production will be maintained. However, we know very little about how and how much it will be.
Besides the loss of a genre and the Danish Feature Group – we lost our dear colleague and great feature-maker, Peter Kristiansen. On the 28th of May he passed away after short and very aggressive attack by cancer. He was buried at a beautiful funeral, where peaces from his entire production were played in the church. We will all remember Peter as the fine man and good colleague he was and for his extremely fine radio work trough four decades.
Once again, we would like to thank you all for your great support during and after the IFC and the difficult days we were in at that time.
My best regards and many greetings from a DR still in chock.
Yours,
