Radio.Garden
One thing that I appreciate about my passion for music across most genres is endless possibilities. I certainly have been enjoying an app that delivers all that the world has to offer.
Radio Garden was born from a digital research project commissioned by the Netherlands Institute for Sound & Vision, developed by Studio Puckey&Moniker between 2013 and 2016. With the spin of the globe available on the Website or App, thousands of radio stations are available for listening in real time.
Radio Garden works by crawling the web for radio streams from across the globe. Using this data, the stations are arranged by geolocation and grouped by cities, represented by a dot, with larger dots representing numerous stations within the town or city.
