Exzess. Eine Techno-Oper (Excess. A Techno Opera)

Author: Noam Brusilovsky (Libretto). Direction: Noam Brusilovsky, Tobias Purfürst. Actors: Susanna Hurrell (Soprano); Peter Becker, Kilian Jörg, Jorinde Schulz, Lisa Hrdina, Rainer Sellien, Aviran Edri, Amy Benkenstein, Hannah Müller, Chiara Palmer, Guillaume Robin, Jorinde Schulz, Johan Andersson, Markus Hänsel (Voices). Composer: Tobias Purfürst. Editing: Juliane Schmidt. Technical Realisation: Nikolaus Löwe, Ulrich Hieber. Assistant Director: Eunike Kramer. Producing Organisation: Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg.

Jessica and Brian are on a world trip and stop off in Berlin, the capital of club culture. They head to Berlin's most well-known techno club. Every weekend thousands of guests from all over the world move together in unison to the rhythm of the beat on the club's dance floor. Partying in the TEMPEL is exclusive. The doorman decides who gets in. Excess – from Saturday evening to Monday morning. Many of the party-goers have one end in mind – to "club to death" – and drugs are definitely a part of it. For Jessica this has fatal consequences. She dies of an overdose during the night. The true story of this death of a club guest develops into a technoid epic and as the protagonist sings her tragic aria finale the techno set continues uninterrupted as backdrop.

Presented by: Tobias Purfürst, Composer, Co-Director

Tobias Purfürst is a freelance music producer and sound artist from Berlin. His field of work ranges from experimental electronic music and multimedia installations to compositions and sound design for collaborative projects in the fields of film, video art, radio play, performance and theatre. Classically trained on the piano, he has expanded his musical approach through programming sounds and working on generative sound art, thereby creating cross-genre listening experiences. For several years, he has worked closely with Noam Brusilovsky as a composer for theatre performances and numerous radio plays.

The Jury: An innovative, brave and bold programme with incredible sound design... And a new genre? The programme makers called it a techno opera... but we think it's actually a new genre... This "operamentary" demonstrates the true art of radio with its well-blended combination of passionate taboo-busting storytelling, actuality and brand-new musical composition. Exzess gave exclusive VIP access to a clubbing underworld that some people want to know more about... but might want too scared to find out. This techno-opera programme provided an instantly accessible doorway into another alternative world and way of life. The panel was unanimous in its decision: Exzess contained an astonishing depth of work despite a tiny team. It took on taboo subjects - drug use, sexuality, 'alternative' lifestyles - and eschewed the usual path of morality that this type of programme sometimes pursues. In fact, it took 'morality' and elevated it by merging it with immersive sound design and dramatic new music: something the Radio and Music Panel thought transformed this "operamentary" into true radio art.

Hvem er Tessa? (Who is Tessa?)

Host: Pelle Peter Jencel. Editors: Ole Fugl Hørkilde, Morten Narvedsen. Editor-in-Chief: Anders Stegger. Sound Design: Jakob Franck Jensen. Project Manager: Maja Rathmann Mølbak.

Tessa wanders around in the winter cold in Vesterbro, Copenhagen. The year is 2014 and she is 16 years old. She has been to a party but has nowhere to stay. The homeless teenager ends up by breaking into McDonald's, where she falls asleep in a toilet. A few years later, the same girl will change the Danish music industry. She just doesn't know that yet. In the first episode of Who is Tessa?, we meet a young girl who is struggling to find her way in life. And then one day she receives a very special message that will change her life forever.

Presented by: Morten Narvedsen, Creative editor

Danish journalist and audio producer based in Copenhagen. Shaping audio stories since 2011, initially for Radio24seven and now for The Danish Broadcasting Corporation (DR). Has primarily worked with narrative podcasts, but with a wide range of topics and genres including the rise of the Danish stand-up comedy (Say Somthin' Funny), true crime about an inventor gone missing (Murder on the high seas) and lately investigative journalism about sexual assault on dating apps (A Dangerous Match). Currently very interested in the younger target group and how to engage with them despite their changeable user behavior when it comes to podcasts. Skills within both interview, editing and sound design, but is now working as creative editor on various formats within P3 Podcast (DR). Has a soft spot for the unfashionable slow danish radio montage, for recordings made with the Neumann RSM191 shotgun mic and for looooooooong akward pauses.

Between the Ears: Henry Mancini

Direction: Hannah Thorne. Production Year: 2024.

Between the Ears takes an immersive dive into the life and music of one of the greatest film composers of all time: Henry Mancini who was born 100 years ago this year. It tells his story from being handed a flute by his father, to composing hits like Moon River and The Pink Panther. The idea was to break free of the traditional composer documentary structure, so it is unpresented, and Mancini helps tell his own story via exclusive interviews from the BBC archives, adding insight, humour and pathos. We also hear from his daughter Monica Mancini, son in law Gregg Field, Film Music Expert Jon Burlingame and Pianist Tom Poster. The overall sound design playfully fuses archive and interview with newsreel and film clips. The main character in the storytelling though is the music: so the whole show is underscored with Mancini's music.

Presented by: Hannah Thorne, Producer

Hannah is a London based Radio Producer for BBC Radio 3 – the BBC's classical music, jazz, world and arts station. She makes various music based shows for the station from live music shows to interview features to the station's experimental late night show. But what she loves the most is using the unique medium of radio to tell musical stories – whether it's an 8 hour archive soundscape documenting 100 years of the BBC, exploring Rachmaninov's music through hypnotism or deep dives into the science of music.
