Abstract
Virginia Madsen examines the radio work of Kaye Mortley from her earliest days in radio in Australia to her work with the renowned Atelier de Creation Radiophonique (Radio France Culture) connecting the histories of radio and film to delineate the project of documentary. Arguably, Mortley is one of radio’s few genuine auteurs, most notably of the documentary (in its broadest sense). She conjures worlds of great richness and subtlety: a “mise-en-ondes” as the French coined it (after mise-en-scene), captured by the microphone, written in the waves of sound.
