Hi and apologies for the bulk mail-out,
Many of you will already be familiar with RPM, a weekly feature that Matthew Leonard has been producing for National Radio since December 2001. The future of this pioneering programme is now in question.
Revolutions per Minute is a 54 minute program on National Radio that presents New Zealand and international acoustic features and documentaries exploring a variety of compositional, vocal and acoustic techniques and narrative frameworks. Integral to RPM's style is its use of sound (rather than narration) as the primary dramatic device to deliver a story. It is also especially interested in safeguarding the tradition of long-form (over 30 minute) feature and documentary works.
The current series of RPM is scheduled to run until June 6th when it will reach episode 100. After that date, the programme's future in uncertain and it currently seems unlikely that Leonard's contract (which finished on April 30) will be renewed to work on this series.
The loss of RPM would be a particularly tragic loss to the Pacific region, especially after Australia's ABC recently axed their award-winning programme, The Listening Room. Like RPM, The Listening Room provided a unique forum for all composers, musicians, writers, producers and listeners interested in exploring the art of radio in unique and innovative ways
To help ensure its continuation, the decision-makers at National Radio need to hear just how important a forum RPM has become and what a mistake it would be to cancel this show, just as it was really becoming established.
If you have been considering making a submission for RPM, now is the time to approach RNZ in July as part of their formal program commissioning process. Attached are some forms which relate to this FYI. This should clearly demonstrate to National Radio the need for a program like RPM to handle this type of material. Very few of the many excellent programmes that have already played on RPM National Radio would have otherwise had an outlet on National Radio.
If you have already had material broadcast on RPM, or have simply enjoyed listening, then National Radio also needs to receive feedback on how important this has been to you. As well at entertainment, RPM has provided inspiration and a vital learning tool for artists, musicians and teachers. Most importantly, it has opened a sonic window to all listeners, offering new perspectives on the world around us through the medium of sound.
At this point, it is also worth considering the importance of a programme that uses sound so strategically being heard in stereo. Although National Radio has improved its quality by becoming mostly available on FM, it still broadcasts in mono. Bearing that in mind, a programme like RPM could be better suited for Radio NZ's other network, Concert FM. Concert FM does a great job at acknowledging contemporary and experimental music with its Sound Lounge and Brave New World programmes but could extend this further into the territory of the sound arts. Even a more marginal timeslot would be worth considering - Deutschland Radio's Acoustic Arts programme plays late at night but still draws a huge audience of dedicated listeners.
People to communicate your compliments, concerns and suggestions to include Matthew Leonard, Peter Cavanagh (Radio NZ CEO), Paul Bushnell (General Manager Spoken Features) and Kate Mead (Concert FM Production Manager). They can be contacted at the following email addresses:

The exhibitions comprised artworks in a range of media, including photography, installation, sculpture, video, performance and new media. As a response to these exhibitions, the new editorial collective of the New Zealand Journal of Media Studies invites articles that critically reflect on these shows and both the dialogues they have generated and the wider contexts that have produced or inform them.
