  ‘Sewer Flush’ in Hilversum, the Netherlands
  
  The media city of Hilversum staged in 2005 world first: Sewer festival! (rioolFestl)
  
  It’s a unique sound project that can be heard at street level from the city sewer system.
  
  May 18, 2011 is that Sewer festival back again. For one evening!
  
  We call it a ‘Sewer Flush’. … a short version of ‘rioolFest’
  
  It’s a ‘special’ during the ‘International Feature Conference’ (IFC) that week in May in Hilversum, where 90-100 international radio-feature-makers visit the center of Hilversum.
  
  From 6 till 10 pm sound will be heard coming from the drains in town center. During this four-hours period the city of Hilversum will expand in size and activity with the addition of an acoustic network, including features, and many ear-opening sounds.
  
  This sound project is the brainchild of sound artist Willem Davids. “The sound source, the heart of the festival, is a purpose-built speaker assembly that is placed in the sewers main pipe.
  
  Sounds in this pipe must travel their way out of sewer system by rising to all connected sump grates at street level. The grates act as sound speakers through the open surface water system. It’s that simple, but very out of the ordinary at the same time.“
  
  Media city with a special sewer system
  
  Willem Davids is a Hilversum radio maker. His love of sound, his craving to experiment and the character of Hilversum (city with a special storm water sewer system), are the main sources of inspiration for this project.
  
  Davids: ”It’s no coincidence that the festival is held in the centre of Hilversum, or rather, rising from the city centre. I live here and it’s the media city.”
  
  According to Davids the sound project can be experienced in different ways. “Firstly, the shopping public will be taken by surprise when they hear sounds emerging from the pavement. Or you could pause to listen around one of the many sump grates, to enjoy an imaginary grand subway station and everything that goes with it.”.
  
  The “Sewer Flush’ is being supported by the Hilversum Council. The Council is also providing help with technical support.

rioolFest St John’s (New Foundland) canceled

rioolFest — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 11:29:57 +0000

We hebben helaas het rioolFest in New Foundland moeten afzeggen.

Hieronder de belangrijkste argumenten:

“The last weeks we have done everything to try to find finance for our trip to St John’s
These we have not found.
What remains is that it seems to us a great plan to run our sewerFest in St John’s. Especially in a city as St. John’s can we transform with our sound system (in a playful way) the sewer in a positive way to highlight.

A second option: Pay for it ourselves. Which we seriously considered, but we have insufficient resources.

An important aspect too is that we are not sure about the only street were we can perform (George Street -photo). A very high risk with only 3 streetgulleys together.

If that doesn’t work there is no alternative to act elsewhere

All together, we must decide not to participate in the Sound Symposium 2010.
We are very sorry but we can no longer postpone the decision.”

Ingekomen post: “Ik heb een hele leuke reportage gemaakt over het leuke Rioolfest, maar het is helaas niet uitgezonden. Misschien kan ik iets voor je regelen dat je het kan krijgen zodat je het op je website kan plaatsen of iets [...] Het is nog wel even als kort berichtje meegegaan in ons nieuwsblok [...] Het was leuk de reportage te maken, succes met je project!”

Personal message from NumbeR NIne:
Hallo! Wij zijn de Utrechtse band NumbeR#9 en dit is onze single ‘Sun sun sun’. Voor meer info over ons kun je het beste kijken op onze site, www.number-nine.nl. Daar staat ook onze biografie en kun je nog meer van ons horen. Waarom we gedraaid willen worden met ‘Sun sun sun’ op het Rioolfest lijkt ons duidelijk: wie heeft ooit de zon zien (en horen) schijnen in het riool? 

Hopelijk worden we gedraaid!

Groetjes,

NumbeR#9
