SABN - South Asian Broadcasting Network

melody (sound) – topics – tradition… The IMC media productions (for radio broadcasting) follow the trend radio is deliberating itself upon the spoken word … with music examples, which show the typical sound picture (nada) of the Indian classical music, monthly presentation of original CD productions, festival reports (special transmission) and a live production (night of ragas), supplemented by informative text contributions, e.g.: about the music system Ghandarva Veda, the 4000 years old music history of India, instruments and biographies of Indian music masters (Pandit, Ustad). http://www.imcradio.net/archives

StudioTalk is a special feature of the radio presenter ElJay Arem (founder of the promotion initiative IMC - India meets Classic in 2005) with studio guests from India (music maestros, composers etc. ...) and part of an annual radio programme for Indian (music) culture. The shows are onair since 03/2006 and broadcasted in Autria, Germany (Berlin, Hamburg) and Switzerland... uniquely in whole German language area. http://www.imcradio.net/studiotalks

Since March 2006 the overall concept of “IMC – India meets Classic” with monthly broadcastings about Indian music culture exists unchanged. On 1st December 2011 in Berlin (German capital) started a new format of IMC as “world culture radio”. The new format is titled as “Thought Experiment(s)”. The motto: Pre-thinking by Cogitation. In “Thought Experiment(s)” new theoretical considerations (hypotheses) can be associated for use with reference to empirical evidence on social situations, without imposing their verifiability. The “logical error” as a possible risk is part of the concept. The claim of “absolute truth” is not enforced. In Sanskrit, the ancient Indian language of science “thought experiment” is called “Vichintana pratisamVedan” and refers to the Vedic period. The word “Veda” is used in India to mean “knowledge”. This knowledge includes the Vedic scriptures, just as the religious and secular knowledge.
