A festival for experimental music in Bergen, Norway. The festival organisers select work for broadcast by international sound artists, radio artists and composers who are pushing at the boundaries of their genre. Each year during the festival a radio art platform, Radio Space, streams online 24 hours a day so the public can tune in and become part of the festival’s home listening experiment. The festival’s website has a well organised archive which offers access to the websites of past festivals from 2006 until the present, all the Programme books from 2004 onwards, and the section Borealis in Videos and Sound which holds a selection of performances from each festival; there is also a Borealis Vimeo channel with over 75 videos and clips showing some of the experimental music and sound art performances.

The idea that the expressive traditions of all local and ethnic cultures should be equally valued was at the heart of musicologist Alan Lomax’s career. His Sound, Photograph and Video collections, which are the legacy of his extensive field research carried out between 1946-1990, can now be accessed online via the Cultural Equity website. Gems include The New Orleans Jazz Interviews (1949), the England and Wales folk songs (1951-1958), blues artist Big Bill Broonzy, Bessie Jones, and Caribbean 1962, just when the British West Indies were on the verge of independence. There are also three YouTube channels: The Alan Lomax Archive, which offers video clips from Lomax’s “American Patchwork” fieldwork (1978-1983), thus far including Mississippi Delta and Hill Country, Appalachia, New Orleans, Cajun Louisiana, Johns Island, SC; The Global Jukebox Channel with 600 recorded language examples collected by Lomax for Parlametrics, his study of speaking style, and the Cultural Equity Channel set up to provide Grenadians at home and in the Diaspora with an interactive online resource for Grenadian folkways and an outlet for cultural feedback.
