PE 2013 – BBC ‘Between the Ears’ – ‘Happy Hour’ Premiere +AUDIO

PRIX EUROPA celebrated (Oct 25, 2013) 20 years of ‘Between the Ears’, BBC Radio 3’s showcase for adventurous radio.

Since the broadcast of Monument (A Piece for Radio) in October 1993 (winning the Prix Italia the following year), the series has provided an opportunity for producers to play with the palette of the feature-maker, to challenge the borders between documentary, music, drama and pure sound, and above all to encourage close, ‘musical’ listening to radio.


Listen HERE to the ‘celebration sound composition‘ assembled with sound files from over 23 countries, inspired by the words ‘Happy Hour’. Produced by Alan Hall and Simon Elmes.
