Lost & Found
94.9FM Radio western

Lost and Found is a weekly collaborative radio program created by Sophie Bouquillon and Paniz Vedaz that draws on Radio Western’s extensive vinyl library to spotlight musicians whose work was overlooked or rediscovered long after its initial release. Each episode explores an artist’s lost music and the cultural, social, and technological factors that shaped their legacy. Blending the immediacy of live radio with in-depth archival research and theoretical frameworks—such as Pierre Nora’s lieux de mémoire and José van Dijck’s scholarship on music and collective memory—Lost and Found underscores how artistic visibility is influenced by identity, technology, and shifting historical narratives. Ultimately, it demonstrates how community engagement and scholarly inquiry can revive marginalized voices, illuminating the enduring power of music to resonate across time.
