  • Chelidon Frame - Flatline Voyages

    21 August 2023  1:00 am - 2:00 am

    Flatline Voyages is a sound project that explores the relationships between drone music, radiointerference, and short-wave transmissions. It combines a series of SDR recordings from all over the world (number stations, Chinese traditional music, beacons, radio hams...), drones, and sounds gathered from fellow musicians(Andrea Marinelli, Asymmetric Cut, and A Distant Shore), coalescing them in a slowly evolving artificial soundscape.

    It was conceived as a series of extended listenings I made during lockdowns, navigating the SW spectrum from my studio where the aural component was partially deprived of its information content and became a means to explore the world.

    Chelidon Frame is an experimental electronicmusic project that mainly works with field recordings, radio interferences,guitars, and processed sounds.

    His installations are experience-based and suggest a dialogue between the location (both virtual andphysical) and the sounds proposed, aiming to deliver a message in the simpler yet most effective way. The use of code, data analysis, and data-driven sounds, allow information to be experienced anew.

    In his studio works and live sets, different layers of sounds - guitars, synthesizers, and custom-made instruments- pile up creating unexpected new soundscapes. He is the founder of the Asynchronous Drone Orchestra.

  • Absolute Value of Noise and Anna Friz - Morse Mountain

    21 August 2023  3:00 am - 7:00 am

    The mountain sleeps; dreams stone. Festooned with power lines and communications towers, striated by long-ago meltwater and creeks that have since evaporated, blown bald by the prevailing winds. Some day, come earthrise or landfall, the mountain will walk out into the sea. Until then, micro-movements in the sediment and rock are its uneasy speech, while the antennae atop its massive breathing shoulders continue to call and respond.

    The piece is inspired by coastal mountains that have been implicated in human long distance communications and listening, whether occupied by overland telephone and telegraph cables, military monitoring stations, radio and acoustic beacons for ships and airplanes, or 5G cell towers. Morse Mountain considers the ephemeral human occupations of signal space as they overlay mineral durations; fireflies buzzing around ancient beings that have merely paused to rest.

    Anna Friz and Absolute Value of Noise (Peter Courtemanche) are Canadian sound and radio artists. Anna Friz creates self-reflexive radio for broadcast, installation and performance. Her compositions reflect upon public media culture, environment and infrastructure (human and extra-human, acoustic, and electro-magnetic), time perception, and speculative fiction. Absolute Value of Noise creates radio and outdoor installations. He likes to work with "gadgetry" - custom turntables, lamp filaments, wire coils, high voltage ionizers, magnetic transceivers, and "little electronic brains" that observe and respond to local phenomena. His outdoor works are a comment on bio-diversity, extinction, and fragility.

  • Darren Copeland - Absent Near Dawn

    21 August 2023  7:30 am - 8:00 am

    This piece is from the “The Absent Listener” series, which are pieces derived from continuous and unsupervised soundscape recordings made on a 14-acre rural residential property located 40 km from the northwestern edge of Algonquin Park in Ontario, Canada. The recordings used in “Absent Near Dawn” all happened within one hour before or after daybreak. They are arranged in a chronological sequence starting in December 2021 and ending in June 2022. “Absent Near Dawn” was produced in April 2023 for the Ear Sound Scape VII series in Copenhagen and Malmö.

    Darren Copeland is a Canadian sound artist active since 1985. He currently lives outside the village of South River, Ontario, Canada.  His work includes projects exploring multichannel spatialization for live performance, fixed media composition, soundscape composition, radio art and sound installations.

    (1) farmer wadams - Prime Time

    An experiment to create music from rhythms based on prime numbers, with sounds created by rulers pining off desks, thumb tapping, and a message from my drunken teenage son. 

    I have worked in animation for the past 25 years - currently Creative Director at Wild Child Animation, Stirling. I started out in club visuals and live AV performances, as part of a collective called Pointless Creations, and have always wanted to go back and make music of my own. Struggling to find time to learn music software, I decided to use Resolve, video editing software with which I was already familiar. So earlier this year I made my first track ill in bed with covid, which reflects the semi-delirious state I was in at the time.

    (2) Jeff Gburek & John Palumbo - Omnivorous Fame Beast 

    Omnivorous Fame Beast is the third of a series of poems written spontaneously and recited in the field. Fusing automatic writing, spoken word, and outdoor environments, one could say it's a form of journalism where the human is slightly off-center. The focus of this piece is upon the social media environment of self-absorption and self-promotion. This piece departs from the previous formats and allows for a trans-continental collaboration of Jeff Gburek in Poznan, Poland with drummer John Palumbo in New Jersey, USA . Segments of percussion were relayed over an internet audio interface in something like real time. Jeff and John record together also under the project name EXTREMOPHILES.  

    Jeff Gburek is a poet, sound-artist, musician & traveller currently based in Poznan, Poland. Jeff Gburek has bandcamp, soundcloud sites. His blog can be searched either by using his name, spelled G-B-U-R-E-K or by typing in Transparent Abelard.

    (3) Selestra - Dispatches from Radiotopia- Hamburg Rehearsal - 01 13730- What Happened to Radio Austria International? 

    Recorded during the first rehearsal of RADIOTOPIA, these tracks guide shortwave frequencies into a portable modular system for signal transmutation. Understanding or decoding is not the point, but rather these signals act like any other voltage in the system: one to be manipulated, one that can travel through the wires to modulate another parameter. Paired with algorithmic generation of melodies, the tracks manifest a merging of generated and captured voltages from around the world. More information can be found here: https://selestra.bandcamp.com/album/dispatches-from-radiotopia-hamburg-rehearsal .

    Selestra is a moniker of Adriana Knouf, PhD (NL/US), who works as an artist, writer, and xenologist, focusing on topics such as wet media, space art, and queer and trans futurities. She is the Founding Facilitator of the tranxxenolab, a nomadic artistic research laboratory that promotes entanglements among entities trans and xeno.

    (4) Wulf Steel - Ache 

    An excerpt from the collection of poems Fallen. The full collection is yet to be completed but continues to ferment and grow. The excerpt here contains the poems Observing, Holding on, Downfall, Consequence and Ache which are grouped together in the collection.

    Always been a writer and always wanting to get work out there. A lover of performance, and someone who likes to think.

    (5) Camille Hummel - Cloud and Garble 

    For the time of closing eyes, let's dream about the collapse of light pollution, freeing animals of the night.

    Camille Hummel is a young french sound artist, working on ecology and societal topics. She likes to use sounds as tiny pieces of paper, trying to mix up everything, words, voices, fieldrecording, and sound-design to express herself. Besides, she does documentaries and writes stories for TV and video games.  https://camillehummel.com/

    (6) Vincent Eoppolo - Ritual 

    Vincent Eoppolo (Ioppolo) is an American composer from Wilmington, Delaware. Initially trained as both a Classical and Jazz guitarist, Eoppolo began composing and recording electronic music in the early 1980’s shortly after the development of MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) and the introduction of affordable home computers and recording equipment. During the 1980-90’s Eoppolo’s fixed media compositions were regularly featured on university new music radio programs in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania region. Additionally, Eoppolo’s works received recognition in music publications Keyboard Magazine and Computer Music Journal. In recent years, Eoppolo’s fixed media works have been presented at the New York City Electro-Acoustic Music Festival, Mise_En Place New Music Festival in Brooklyn, Utopie Sonore in Nantes, France and De Natura Sonorum in Rome, Italy. Eoppolo’s compositions have been released by Moscow based independent music label Meticulous Midgets and his works are regularly featured on new music radio and internet programs throughout Europe and North America.

    (7) Hannah Kemp-Welch - Searching for Sferics 

    Sferics are Earth’s natural static – bursts of radio waves emitted by lightning. They take the form of very low frequency (VLF) radio waves, which travel thousands of miles between the ground and ionosphere. A VLF receiver allows you to hear sferics at any time; lightning strikes around the world approximately 44 times per second. This piece records my process as I build a simple VLF radio receiver from copper wire and a hula hoop (using a recipe by Dan Tapper) and hike around Cumbria listening for lightening. This project was supported by Full of Noises and Arts Council England.

    Hannah Kemp-Welch is a sound artist with a socially-engaged practice - she makes art collaboratively and in community settings, experiments with DIY radios, and produces zines to make these technologies accessible. 
           
    (8) Nacho Cordoba Delgado - This Tape Machine Destroys Time 02 Side B 

    TTMDT is a collection series made from January to December 2012. One tape/digital release per month out on MAGIA. The first 6 were created by MAGIA founder Ignacio Córdoba. All the releases focus on tapes, tape machines and machines as destroyers of time, of perception and of the perception of time. Samples, coding, looping, hacking, field recording, plunderphonics and improvisation share the detritus of Time.

    (9) Ariel Mioduser - Medusa 

    A hypnotic and meditative journey, made of a very slow harmonic progression. At a certain point, a far away melody is heard as if waking up, until a sudden burst calls back from the trance-like state.

    I am a media artist focusing on sound art, animation, and digital painting. Along the years my sound works have evolved from the use of field recordings and electronic instruments to being mainly based on my voice in a broad sense, processed to the point where sometimes it is not recognizable as a human voice, but still carries the warmth and vibration of the original.

  • Alice Jackson - The Bridge Between Me And Sleep

    21 August 2023  9:00 am - 9:30 am

    An intimate snapshot into the delicate and intense world of guiding a baby to sleep. Singing, soothing, shushing and white noise have all become essential sonic elements in our sleep ritual determining whether the wave will break furiously or glide calmly onto shore. We are all taught how to get to sleep, to trust the transition from waking to sleeping, from outside world to self created world and it is within this key liminal space that I spend a lot of my day.

    Alice Jackson is a mother and an artist who co-runs a small DIY space in West Yorkshire. She's currently negotiating her art practice around new motherhood and running a business.

  • Marco Lampis - Before the Eyes: Turning Listeners into Spectators

    21 August 2023  10:00 am - 10:45 am


    Before the Eyes is an art project that aims to make art more accessible to the visually impaired through the production ofsound descriptions of contemporary art exhibitions. The main objective is to facilitate inclusivity and enjoyment of art, so that people who see little or nothing can have a full and engaging experience. Its aim is to build a freeonline archive of sound catalogues, which allow the described exhibitions to 'live' for longer than their temporary nature. In this episode: Age of Coming, Matt Copson’s exhibition at Clearing Gallery Brussels. BtE is supported by the Ligue Braille Belgium

    Marco Lampis, artist living in Brussels. He studied Belle Arti in Bologna and UDK in Berlin. Lampis has participated in workshops and residencies, including QO2 in Brussels and Gasworks International Program Residency. His artistic research centers on human perception of reality, especially the relationship between sound and image. Lampis explores this theme through various means like performative actions, workshops, music productions, and sculptures. He employs a method of excluding one element to delve deeper into understanding the other, like visually analyzing sound or examining visual perception acoustically. He also has a Consumer Waste Record release entitled Object Shape Description.

  • Jeanne Debarsy - Maybe Nothing

    21 August 2023  10:45 am - 11:00 am

    Sound compositions made by the artists invited for the 4th edition of SONICFUTURE RESIDENCIES organized by SEMI SILENT, and that took place in the village Port Cetate, Romania, on the border of the Danube, in September 2022.

    Artists: Jeanne Debarsy(BE), Veronika Svobodova (CZ), Lloyd Dunn (US/CZ), pablo sanz (ES), JasminaAl-Qaisi (RO), Sillyconductor (RO)

    Artistic director: Anamaria Pravicencu

    http://semisilent.ro

    What happened?

    We don't know exactly

    Of course, there are rumors and echoes

    But they are perhaps only reminiscences

    Time and space seem out of tune

    Behaviors have also changed

    But still, the Danube doesn’t stop flowing.

    With this piece, the author wanted to translate a precise feeling that cradled the 10-day residency in the small village of Port Cetate, in Romania: a strange feeling of the end of the world, with a historically low water level that prevented navigation on the Danube, a very prevalent animal kingdom, few humans, the impression of evolving either in the past or in the future but certainly not in the present.

    Sound piece composed with recordings made during Sonic Futures Residencies in Port Cetate (Romania), a program by SEMI SILENT, co-produced by Babelfish.

    Jeanne Debarsy is a sound artist based in Belgium where she studied to become a sound engineer. She worksi n various domains of sound and collaborates with many artists in cinema, radio, music, and various arts. She is particularly passionate about radio media because it gives her freedom of action and expression precious to her eyes. She continues to develop her own sound language to refine her personal research and to explore the fields of performance and installation.

  • Aurélie Nyirabikali Lierman - Just Outside the Wombskin & iota mikro

    21 August 2023  11:00 am - 11:30 am

    Aurélie Nyirabikali Lierman

    Just Outside the Wombskin

    ‘Just Outside the Wombskin’ is an ode to Aurélie Nyirabikali Lierman’s ancestral land in general as well to her grandfathers incredible legacy and age in particular. Lierman’s super-centenarian grandfather – Kanyoni Ladislas – just turned 109 at the beginning of 2019. He lives on volcano Mt. Karisimbi in the Virunga Mountains in Rwanda and perhaps is one of the last pre-colonial traditional hunters and medicine. Lierman visits him as often as possible to record their ongoing conversations about his past, and collect these for her ever growing archive called Africa On Tape. All sounds heard are purely based on recent field recordings from her grandfather’s house and village.

    iota mikro

    Build up like a dream sequence iota mikro invites us into an intimate and introspective journey by evoking imaginary memories from Aurélie Nyirabikali Lierman’s very early childhood years. iotamikro is an artistic reflection on Lierman’s double identity, Belgian and Rwandan, revealing her experiences of the two different realities. All sounds heard are purely based on recent field recordings from Lierman’s birthplace at the Karisimbi volcano in Rwanda. Since her real paper birth certificate is missing, this is Lierman’s sonic birth certificate.

    iota mikro is dedicated to her Rwandan Belgian godchild: Jerom Dom.

    Biography

    Aurélie Nyirabikali Lierman is a Belgian-Rwandan composer, radio and vocal artist. Pioneer of Afro-European radio art and musical theatre. Her work has been described as bold, provocative and delicate.

    She brings unique stories to life in an accessible and at the same time innovative way: based on acoustic sounds and soundscapes that she moves around like a kind of 3D cinema, but for the ears. She records all the sound recordings in her work herself during her many field recording expeditions to East-Africa.

    Just this year she created Umva! an intimate ode to Kanyoni Ladislas, her 113-year-old grandfather and one of the last traditional doctors and hunters in Rwanda.

    She collaborates with other artists in a variety of disciplines and fields and has won many prizes at home and abroad.

    Sounds of thinning ice emerge from cracks spreading in a curving pattern. Winter guests from the Arctic arrive: long-tailed ducks call to each other. The piercing sounds of military jets provide a stark contrast to an ecosystem of co-operation and accommodation. Skipping stones turn the lake into a vibrating plate. Each impact creates a flexural/bending wave, radiating sound into the air, the short waves/high frequencies arriving first. These waves track the ice’s vanishing act, a harbinger of both the new season, and the seasons already lost, as climate shifts are written in the math of disappearance. Recorded on Lake Ontario in February 2022.

    Alëna Korolëva is an artist and curator, who works with sound, photo and video.
    Her sound work is focused on field recordings, acoustic ecology, soundscape studies and acousmatic composition. Her technique employes elements of documentary storytelling and experimental music.
    Based in Toronto, Canada.

    3) Andrea Oppo - Campu Perdu, a windproject

    This is an unmixed natural soundscape made in the suggestive Asinara Island. You can hear the wind like you are inside it. Like you are an abandoned prison, or an abandoned stall. You can also feel yourself like an animal, a special animal which lives here and gave the name at the island itself.. or like a prisoner, a free prisoner under the sky and hidden in the wind. Just go blind for this journey. This is a prison but a windy one.

    My name is Andrea Oppo, I live and work in Italy in cinema and documentary films as sound mixer and boom operator. I’m very interested in recording sound for documentaries.

     4) Meryll Hardt - Antenna 

    A short radio operetta composed with an electric piano and then orchestrated with a Farfisa and a mini moog (virtual).  Having both in mind Holger Hiller and Pierrot Lunaire of Arnold Schöneberg, 1910 and 1980, the dadas and the Neue Deutsch Welle, she decided  not to write her own lyrics but rather continue the reappropriating and revisit Antenna’s lyrics from Kraftwerk in a quite a psyche lofi different direction from the original.  

    Meryll Hardt  (Fr, 1984) learned music and radioplay mainly with her friends from Gagarin Records, Felix Kubin and Mark Vernon. She also went to art school, graduating in visual and performance art. In 2013, she directed a short musical docu-fiction film featuring herself at Le Corbusier's Cité Radieuse in Marseille. Passionate about science-fiction, architecture and history, she's also a big fan of Star Trek.

  • Action Pyramid - Plant Playback

    21 August 2023  12:00 pm - 12:30 pm

    The sounds of aquatic plant photosynthesis interpreted. Taking inspiration from the mixtape format, where versioning and remixing are common tropes, Plant Playback presents sections of subaquatic source material, each initially in a raw unprocessed state, followed by sonic diversions exploring the inherent rhythmic and harmonic properties of these sounds. Interview excerpts with researchers specialising in freshwater bioacoustics, as well as computer-processed interpretations of the sonic data, such as audio-to-MIDI capture, further illustrate a personal quest to understand and appreciate the complexity and strange unknowable nature of these sounds. With special thanks to acoustic ecologists Camille Desjonquères, Gea van de Lee, and Jack Greenhalgh for their time and expertise on the subject.   A list of the sound sources for 'Plant Playback' can be found on our website at radiophrenia.scot/artist/commissions/action-pyramid Tom Fisher is a sound artist and musician based in the marshy edge-lands of North East London. Working primarily under the name Action Pyramid his projects vary from site-specific sound installation and headphone based works for galleries and museums, to experimental radio works, music and documentary. With a background in electronic music and audio production his creative practice involves using sound and composition to re-examine and reconsider our surroundings, looking at the relationship between ourselves and the nonhuman, and our part in the wider ecologies of landscapes. With a multitude of recording techniques, often aimed at exploring and re-interpreting the seemingly unnoticed and unheard elements of our surroundings, he looks to present compositional and spatial expressions of these acoustic phenomena in a way that attempts to offer up alternative perspectives regarding perceptions of scale, hierarchical bias and the interconnectedness of living things.
  • Alëna Korolëva - Accidental Wilderness

    21 August 2023  12:30 pm - 1:00 pm

    This field recording-based composition grew from listening to the sounds of the ever-changing boundary between the city of Toronto and Lake Ontario. The waterfront is a transition zone where sounds of animals, plants, people, machines and water meet and overlap.
    The title refers to the transformation of a wasteland into new natural habitats. This happened in Toronto as wildlife reclaimed islands of construction garbage which had been dumped into the lake. Over the years the site became a lush green park, a home and meeting place for many different species.

    1 Thomas Ott - A Message From Beyond

    “A Message from Beyond” is an experimental seance created for radio. A recording of a Ghost Box forms the core of the soundscape, gently layered with deep soothing drones aimed at lulling the listener into a more receptive state of mind. A Ghost Box is a radio device which sweeps through different AM and FM frequencies, resulting in bursts of static, sounds and words. It is thought that discarnate entities, such as ghosts, can communicate by manipulating which words the scanner picks up. As you sink into this piece will there be a message from beyond waiting for you?

    Thomas Ott is an experimental musician, noise artist and drone merchant best known for his work with experimental metal bands Catafalque and Gnarl, and his Harsh Noise project The Dead Yesterdays. His solo drone work is a vehicle for developing and exploring his Pareidoliaic Method. Using field recordings as the basis for his drone pieces, the method calls for active listening and for subsequent layers to emphasise or accentuate sounds already existing in the piece, rather than imposing pre-conceived melodies, allowing for organic growth as more layers are added.

    2 Arturo Pacheco Manzano - OCOTOCHTLI(Bobcat)

    This production is inspired by a beautiful example of what can be called "coloniality of knowledge": The understanding of the Mexican pre-Columbian world being colonized, in the name of the Spanish Crown, by the scientific systems of that time and explained by its Eurocentric and colonial expert knowledge... Five hundred years after the fall of Mexico-Tenochtitlan (August 13, 1521) we are still colonized. Decolonization will be endless, or it won't be.

    5 Martha Riva Palacio Obón - khthonios - invocation

    Interspecies hymn built from the digital mix of crickets and human voice in different frequencies. Cthonic spirits that swarm in the compost, the underworld, and generate with their voices the cyclic rhythm of death-live. Microscopic transit, inefable precipitation of the matter that decomposes and germinates. Invocation: to bring back in sound a medieval bestiary; to recreate a fragmented, spectral testimony of those who once inhabited this wounded planet. Kthonios, from earth.

    Mexican sound artist and author. She studied a BA in Psychology and a MFA in Visual Arts and is member of the Sistema Nacional de Creadores de Arte. In 2019 she was granted the Otherwise Fellowship with her interdisciplinary project Following Crickets around the House and in 2022 was the resident artist in the project Grandmother’s chants: sonorities from the Colombian Caribbean hosted by Fundación Círculo Abierto in Barranquilla, Colombia. Her sound essays have been presented in spaces such as Tsonami, Sur Aural, Radiophrenia and soundpedro among others.

    6 Selestra - Dispatches from Radiotopia- Hamburg Rehearsal - 03 14550- Anti-Imperialist Dancing to STANAG

    Recorded during the first rehearsal of RADIOTOPIA, these tracks guide shortwave frequencies into a portable modular system for signal transmutation. Understanding or decoding is not the point, but rather these signals act like any other voltage in the system: one to be manipulated, one that can travel through the wires to modulate another parameter. Paired with algorithmic generation of melodies, the tracks manifest a merging of generated and captured voltages from around the world.  

    Selestra is a moniker of Adriana Knouf, PhD (NL/US), who works as an artist, writer, and xenologist, focusing on topics such as wet media, space art, and queer and trans futurities. She is the Founding Facilitator of the tranxxenolab, a nomadic artistic research laboratory that promotes entanglements among entities trans and xeno. Adriana regularly presents her artistic research around the world and beyond. Her work has been recognized by an Award of Distinction at Prix Ars Electronica (2021), an Honorary Mention from the Science Fiction Research Association's Innovative Research Award, and as a prize winner in The Lake’s Works for Radio #4 (2020).

  • Manja Ristic - water memory - mnemosonic topographies of the Adriatic

    21 August 2023  2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

    water memory - mnemosonic topographies of the Adriatic is a musical journey through the subtle relations of sound and aquatic habitats on the island of Korčula and its surrounding archipelago. from the heart of an ancient town to the island’s deepest wilderness, water memory contains a wide array of aquatic and sub-aquatic imprints captured with extended field recording techniques and gently placed in an emotionally charged 50-minute-long ambient composition.

    the music in this work is built around recordings of sound pollution below and above the water surface (due to increased water traffic, sand pumps used for “more ecological” beach filling, sounds of the sea bed covered with artificial gravel, over-concretization of the lime-stone coast), then, derelict archaeological sites, abandoned ex-Yugoslavian military sites, abandoned quarries spanning from Neolithic to Medieval times, some of which were still operating until the mid 20th century.


     
    with such a dense “memory field” to be observed both the author and the listeners are exposed to a dizzying amount of content that alludes to relations between the sociology of time and the politics of soundscape as a possible interdisciplinary framework for a better understanding of the memory of place.

    Manja Ristić is a violinist, sound artist, poet, curator and researcher active in the fields of electroacoustic and classical music, instrumental improvisation and experimental sound art. Her work blends intuitive composition and field recording practices while focusing on interdisciplinary approaches to acousmatic forms, radio art, and acoustic ecology. Manja Ristić currently works and lives on the island of Korčula, Croatia.

  • Robert Thomas James Mills - who's time? live in the studio

    21 August 2023  3:00 pm - 3:20 pm

    What if time was a person? What is your relationship with them? What happens when you both fall out of love with each other? Sometimes time is seen as a stream, flowing from past to future. Mixing a stream of consciousness with a stream of transmissions picked up through the cosmos. Monologues, poems and songs all come together to the single point where we have to ask... who's time?

    Robert Thomas James Mills was a time traveller from Glasgow. Masquerading as an artist, sometimes a poet. Through words, gestures, space and time Robert would navigate worlds they found themselves within. Sometimes approaching with curiosity. Sometimes approaching with criticism.

  • Teresa Cos - The Archive Of Loops: Broadcast

    21 August 2023  3:40 pm - 4:00 pm

    Broadcast is a composition made out of fragments taken from unedited archived studio improvisations. It focuses on sampling and manipulating live public radio broadcasts, with pockets of music and news packages teased out of linear time and fed into loops, distortions and delays. Even the content of these extracts speaks to a preoccupation with the messiness of unfolding time: the flaring of intergenerational anxieties about mobile phone usage, the sadly cyclical nature of social progress, historical anthropology, nostalgia for the 90s, cartoon impunctuality and more. Looping both estranges and intensifies the meaning at the source (Jack Chuter).

    Teresa Cos is a moving image and sound composer based in London. Indebted forever to rhythmanalysis and depth psychology, their audiovisual works, performances, and scores map and disrupt culturally and historically fabricated notions of time, identity, memory and desire. Teresa has presented and performed their work in various international contexts including Cafè Oto, CCA Glasgow (Radiophrenia Festival), Iklectic, Q-O2, KBC-Belgrade, Argos Centre for Audiovisual Arts, Casino Luxembourg, WIELS Contemporary Art Centre, bb15, The Mac – Metropolitan Arts Centre Belfast and the 14th Venice International Architecture Biennial. They have released work on Takuroku/Cafè Oto, Hard Return and Umland Editions/Q-2.

  • Louis - Olivier Desmarais - Rainbow odyssey: The redemption

    21 August 2023  4:40 pm - 5:00 pm

    Delirium of a Millennial, somewhere between the symphonic poem and the trailer for a B-movie. The result is a psychedelic journey, an epic odyssey where the lines between pleasure and pain, good and evil, light and dark, heaven and hell are blurred. Before starting to listen, don't forget to fasten your seat belt and locate the nearest emergency exits. Above all, it is important to maintain full confidence in the captain's conduct, even if it will be tempting to lose hope. May my sins be forgiven, may light shine in the darkness. Praise the Lord. Amen. Sound artist based in Montreal, Louis-Olivier likes to navigate between different creative playgrounds without, however, leaving the sound medium; be it radio, music or installations. Throughout his career, he has developed a strong interest in immersion by creating works where space acts as an artistic parameter in its own right. He is particularly interested in exploring the connections between music and spirituality. In 2019 he launched “Abbaye”, a contemplative audio documentary which, in 2022, became PAX, a multimedia installation with spatialized sound.   His work is recognized internationally (Phonurgia Nova, RTBF, Festival Longueur d’ondes de Brest, Bourse Gulliver).

  • Production 2 - Alëna Korolëva - Premonitions

    21 August 2023  6:00 pm - 6:30 pm


    Whenever I go, I can't help but notice signs of a looming change. I eavesdrop on conversations of creatures big and small, and like me, they seem uneasy and uncertain about what's to come. Something is in the air, dark clouds gather, winds are shifting course. Amidst the confusion and restlessness, the voices of natural and human-made worlds blend in a worrisome symphony. This piece is an ode to anticipation, to the beauty of different forms of life on the brink of the sixth mass extinction. Joining in the chorus are the American toad, northern winds, an old kettle, mr. Cat, tawny owl, crickets, domestic chickens and pigs, trumpeter swans, honey bees, truck horns, cormorants, seagulls and other elements and critters.

    Alëna Korolëva is an artist and curator, who works with sound, photo and video.
    Her sound work is focused on field recordings, acoustic ecology, soundscape studies and acousmatic composition. Her technique employs elements of documentary storytelling and experimental music.

  • Northfield Lenox - Dry Erase Marker

    21 August 2023  9:00 pm - 9:30 pm

    In the 1600’s the Catholic Church begins the inquisition of physicist and astronomer Galileo Galilei. Galileo was ordered to turn himself in to the Holy Office to begin trial for holding the belief that the Earth revolves around the sun. 400 years later, the use of dogma to persecute the innocent persists, while in some areas of the world, church attendance and affiliation is dropping. ‘Dry Erase Marker’ creates a recording of an apocryphal weekly service broadcast, in the manner of an audio whiteboard of samples and scribblings related to these themes. Northfield Lenox is a one-person project creating computer produced music with virtual instruments and samples from media archives, radio, and other field & audio recordings.

  • BYDL – paths yet to be defined

    21 August 2023  9:30 pm - 10:00 pm

    The 25-minute piece »paths yet to be defined« was composed especially for the radiophrenia open call revolving around techniques and references regarding radio transmission, spoken word and found sound. The material ranges from SW radio noise with some audible programme voices now and then to found answering machine tapes, inadvertently recorded dictaphone ambience and found cassettes with children recording their playing in an undefined year of the past. The piece came together within a two hour session: one hour for recording, one hour for editing. Gear used: Koma Field Kit & Field Kit FX with Spring Reverb Tank attached, Field Kit's CV Radio receiving noise and SW radio signal, EMF Sniffer built by Sturmherta, Wind Harp built by DvS equipped with a Piezo contact mic, Tape Player with Ping Pong Loop, Birdsong and Guitar open tape loop directed by hand while playing, and Construction Site Ambience on tape through Meng Qi Wingie (Mic Input to also capture the rooms atmosphere and clicks and noises occurring while improvising), Kosmische Synth App through Korg Monotron Delay (modded by FTS), Found Dictaphone Tape of a Doctor's Answering Machine, Found Tape with two kids reenacting a driver's license test, Boss RE-20, Piezo on mini speaker patched as Feedback Loop. The Viennese noise scrambler Sandro N. aka. BYDL moves in experimental sonic realms of Ambient, Drone, Techno and Noise. Essential driver of their work is improvisation, often in collaborative contexts utilizing digital and analog systems of chance. Electroacoustics, field recordings and everyday noises form the base for highly manipulated sound designs. Left-behind cassettes and Dictaphone tapes run ambiences and vocals for his productions, DJ mixes and live sets. BYDL already released on labels like Beach Buddies, Sama Recordings, Vienna Underground Traxx, Tongraeber, Ternär and performs solo and in numerous formations (paseule, Drug Searching Dogs, quellenverzeichnis, Ausgesprochen:Neu, KMØN,...). bydl.bandcamp.com soundcloud.com/bydl instagram.com/creating.by.habit fb.me/bydlofficial

    1 - Stéphane Borrel - The Sweet & Prickly

    The Sweet & Prickly are an excerpt from Anthology of Laughter, an electroacoustic work that employs as its essential sound material the laughter from the recordings of three hundred invited participants – the recorded laughter is natural, authentic, it is not the laughter of comedians. The piece features a small verse-chorus type form. The four verses make hear the laughter of men, only mouths closed; the four refrains arise when one of the men laughs to the point of opening his mouth. This is a work of composition: of course, in reality, the six men involved have never met.

    Stéphane Borrel (1974) lives and works in Lyon, France. He writes for different ensembles and diverse electronics, ranging from chamber music to the symphony orchestra, from mixed music to sound installations. 
    https://www.stephaneborrel.fr

    2 - Ale Borea - Suennos de un peloton de fusilamiento

    “Sueños de un peloton de fusilamiento” is a sound collage made from fragments of SWR recordings from The Conet Project as well as internet recordings in which the phantasmagoric and omnipresent character of the recorded and transmitted sound is emphasized. Rather than being a sound-object frozen in time as a fragment of history that comes into existence when tuned in by a listener, the signal-sound is explored as an anonymous wandering process. Its name draws an analogy between the signal-SWR and the soldier as raw materials and war machinery, secretly yearning to return to a lost past of “peace”.

    Ale Borea is a sound artist and researcher from Lima, Peru. She holds a master's degree in Philosophy and is a self-taught percussionist. Her work focuses in the interweaving of perception, rhythm, body, sound, and phenomenology of perception. In 2020, Borea moved to Berlin, where she develops her solo project, plays in different bands and works on her musical research.

    3 - Katie Currie - crying in public (11:52)

    A sonic collage; using echoes of grief, treasured memories alongside moments I felt totally overwhelmed to blur into a tool for healing. Traces of comforting techniques have also been included such as the re-recording of a CBT breathing exercise. The title comes from the many recordings I made of myself silently crying in public, usually on the bus. Influenced by ASMR as a form of anxiety or stress relief the components are soothing and result in a reflective moment for the listener.

    4 - farmer wadams - Prime Time Modem Mix

    'Prime Time'  is an experiment to create music from rhythms based on prime numbers, with sounds created by rulers pining off desks, thumb tapping, and a message from my drunken teenage son. This remix without the vocal and underlying modem sound.

    I have worked in animation for the past 25 years - currently Creative Director at Wild Child Animation, Stirling. I started out in club visuals and live AV performances, as part of a collective called Pointless Creations, and have always wanted to go back and make music of my own. Struggling to find time to learn music software, I decided to use Resolve, video editing software with which I was already familiar. So earlier this year I made my first track ill in bed with covid, which reflects the semi-delirious state I was in at the time.

    5 - Juliana Capes - Physical pink pear tree

    From “GOWO MANGO" an album of song sketches by visual artist and describer Juliana Capes,  commissioned as expanded audio description by artist Laura Aldridge,  as part of an audio interpretation of her recent monograph THINGS THAT SOAK YOU.

    Capes's descriptions of Aldridge's sculptures have morphed through conversation into sketches of songs, through exploration of Laura's working methods of expanded collage, shared enthusiasm about musical influences and love of mash up and the encouragement burgeoning friendship and collaboration.

    Juliana Capes is a multi disciplinary visual artist.  She has worked in the field of integrated and expanded visual description within her own practise and those of others since 2015. Her current artwork is influenced by her experiences of working as a visual describer in Scottish galleries and museums, the unrelenting beauty of the world and by the processes of feeling, seeing and believing. She has recently shown work at Fruitmarket Gallery, Edinburgh, Edinburgh Art Festival, Alchemy Film Festival, CCA , Glasgow and Campleline Gallery.

    6 - Sylvaine Souklaye - Mundane paradise

    mundane paradise is a binaural installation about the ephemeral epiphany we experience between the end of our sleep and our awakening.
    As a child, I spent a lot of time trying not to sleep. I thought I might die during my sleep. But death wasn't my primal fear. I didn't want to finish inside any paradox of my mother's Bible. At the time, insomnia and vandalism became my muses, they helped me fight the inevitable.
    The marketing of Christianity has since vanished from my existence, and nights have transformed into a stream of consciousness where I delve, sink and rise to create. I started to appreciate the unpredictable nature of the awakening. Will I be dead or not? The question “Will I sleep alone or not?” took over...
    Sharing sleep and awakening is the most important part of my intimacy. It is when I'm defenceless, when I am myself, before hearing my voice, seeing my skin colour and feeling my body. It is this moment before time and space, when and how.
    mundane paradise is a live monologue before reason, necessity, and ego possess my mind and body.
    mundane paradise is an ephemeral epiphany before who, what and where, before me, before the artist, before New York.

    Sylvain Souklaye is a French performance and installation artist obsessed with sampling intimacies about people who don't belong to a determinate identity, gender, class, colour or nationality. His performances are a collage of individual memories which are relived for the audience. Self-taught, he began performing with vandalism in Lyon (France) and then intimate happenings, radio experimentation and action poetry. He later developed digital art installations using field recording techniques as a narrative layer while pursuing his writer’s path.

    7 - Johnny Dixon - Driverless Vehicle

    8 - Las Exorcistas - Yo conozco tu locura porque también es la mía

    I know your madness because it is also mine is a spell against lesbophobia that was cast in a ritual that was first held at the event 'Where strength is born', 2018, National University of Colombia, Bogotá. This piece, a strong potion against lesbophobia, features voices from several Latin American artists who self-identify as lesbians, as well as the recorded sound from the 2018 performance. This piece was especially created for National University Radio as part of the launch of the memory of the event.  

    The Exorcists (Ana María Romano G. and Marta Cabrera) is a creative duo who want to rid the multiverse of homo, lesbo and transphobia.

The landscape is visualizing the previous activities that played out through the tools, devices and equipment of a civilization determined to understand and control its environment, while also causing its own destruction and dematerialization. We hear the ghosts of formerly crowded social environments, and the thick din of communications chatter but all that remains to be seen is a depopulated vastness of time remembered by geological form.
