Ladislav Železný has been interested in activities connected with broadcasting, radio and live broadcasting since his studies at FAVU. He played a major role in the broadcasting of the radio Lemurie, which was closely connected with the beginnings of the experimental space ROXY/NoD.

In the series of thirteen audio-interviews recorded during the autumn 2013 Johana Švarcová spoke to artists who use in different ways „the non-visual element“ – sound. For some of the artists that she addressed, working with sound, sound art, development of instruments (hardwre and software), radio art or sound installations have become their major field of interest. Other artists deal with sound or sound track (e.g. video) in their own specific ways.
