The Broadcast Project, by artist John Dombroski, is an ongoing series of site-specific performances broadcast live on local radio stations during a journey across the USA with no destination... Each performance is a collage of sampled local obscure and forgotten music, culturally significant audio artifacts, field recordings, home-made modular synthesizer, and gender-swapped vocal processing… To date, there have been nine broadcasts on nine different stations, and the project continues with the road... While donations for gas money are always welcome, The Broadcast Project is archived online and accessible for free at: TheBroadcastProject.bandcamp.com. johndombroski.net

Sound artist: Magali Babin
Produced by: La Quadrature

Stéphanie Pelletier lives on Cinquième rang de Padoue. A lost end of road halfway between the huge St.-Laurent river and farmers county side. From the threshold of her house-burrow, she tells the real and dreamed story of what surrounds her. Ce qui brûle bien is a collection of wonderful tales and life stories placed in a large soundscape where the voice emerge. Stéphanie Pelletier's words are impulsive, generous, raw like the lands of Bas-Saint-Laurent in Québec, Canada. In the instability of the world, the author tells us the courage it takes to continue to imagine.

Stéphanie Pelletier is artistic director of Exil (literary shows) and author. She has been actively involved in the literary scene since 2009 by getting involved in literary shows, meetings with authors and many other evenings where literature is in the spotlight. La Quadrature is a contemporary storytelling artistic organization that has been producing sound stories since 2018 where speech and presence are thought through sound materials.

The ‘Broken Telephone’ project was proposed by Cosmic Homeostasis group member Mira Martin-Gray early in lockdown days as a way to stay engaged and connected. The recording proceeded as an additive process, similar to when artists were trading casettes or works circulated in the mail art network. In effect it was an assemblage or collage built layer upon layer as the recording passed from one person to the next. This was an experiment for the group since all previous recordings had been done in person. Rather than a game of ‘cumulative error’, the transmission chain transcended space and time.

“Cosmic Homeostasis is both a loose collective of sound-makers and the events they convene at.”     “...there are usually no fixed musical instructions, outside of some general prompts to start a piece — no one needs to read sheet music, or know what key they're in, or count beats. In a large ensemble, there are enough voices that one can always pause and listen to everyone else without worrying they have to be contributing from moment to moment, and the division between ensemble and audience can fade away into the aether.” Joe Strutt - initiator of CH.

THEREFORE is a “perpetual” audio-poem which organically mutates and regenerates itself from a stanzacloud of verse. Each whispered line of the poem is relentlessly shifting in relation to every other line, as the poem endlessly renews itself. This is the closest that its creator Simon Le Boggit has come to expressing a state of mind where the physical and psychological suffering caused by the arthritic autoimmune disease Ankylosing Spondylitis shifts the goalposts so randomly and rapidly that you don’t know what you are – let alone who you are, where you are, or where you are going…   Simon Le Boggit is a multimedia artist. He was born, inflated, and will eventually deflate.

2 - Zuriñe F Gerenabarrena - Nattyl

Nattyl, a word in the Swedish language that means "howl the night", uses the voice as a point of departure and return, which is influenced as memory and reflection. The brief poetry of Alejandra Pizarnik is the stimulus from which the structure of the work arises, connecting word and feeling throughout the piece. I use the sound of the word that I cut, extended, atomize and restructure, to create new textures that interrelate with each other, and turn towards the listener, as a derived form of question in listening. In this work I have explored the way in which language, phonetics, can move in different layers or collide like surfaces and continue to hit our memory. Voice: Michael John Gallen. Work composed at Studio Alpha in Vicc, Visby in May 2022.

Born in the Basque Country, Gerenabarrena is a versatile composer, has written pieces for orchestra, chamber ensembles, theater, dance, animation, sound installations and multidisciplinary projects. She has been invited to several international forums and also worked as a resident artist.           http://www.zfgerenabarrena.com

3 - Akari Komura - In a Flock

The piece encompasses field recordings from train station platforms and ticket gates of Keio Line in Tokyo, Japan. The piece is oriented by the listening perception of someone awaiting with different purposes at a train station. The opening soundscape is narrated by a listener awaiting a train, highlighting a recording of a bird call broadcasted at a platform to announce the train arrival. After a brief moment of waiting at the railroad crossing, the scene shifts to waiting at the ticket gate. As a crowd of passengers enter and exit the gateway, the scanning of IC transportation passes generates an overlay of rhythmic beeps. Busy footsteps and unintelligible chattering portrays the scrambled soundscape of swarming travelers.

Akari Komura (b.1996) is a Japanese composer-vocalist whose works center around contemplative engagement with listening and soundmaking. Her interest in somatic practice and embodied consciousness is central to her creative process. 

4 - Marc Rose - Twisted Epiphanies: Message in a Bottle

Spoken word piece written and read by Laurence Overrmire. Post production music, sound design by Marc Rose. Produced for “Fusebox” radio program.  Marc Rose is a composer and sound designer living in Portland, Oregon.   http://www.TheFuseboxShow.com        

5 - Raquel Stolf - Howls (Slow Listening)

Decelerated howls from/to the radio (four meditative howls from Quico). A “prepared” fragment from a collection of dog howls recorded since 2008.    http://raquelstolf.com            

6 - Mansoor Hosseini & Shadi Bazeghi - Flowmatic Blood Moon

Poem and voice by Shadi Bazeghi. Music by Mansoor Hosseini.

A therapeutic discussion about trauma of war. Past and present happen at the same time. What is the language of vulnerable people? The music joins the poems in Flowmatic to open up the hard-hitting topic of the battelfield. But nostalgia and hope rise high to give energy and belief.

Mansoor Hosseini is a composer and script writer. He has created works for music ensembles, theaters and poets of different cultures. He increasingly works with sound art as a mean of storytelling for radio and podcast projects. Mansoor has also made short art videos, teaming up with international film makers and taking part in music and video festivals.

Iris Chun-Tzu Chang (TW) is an artist and researcher currently based in Taiwan. Like sound as clay, Iris crafts her work through drawing, poetry, installation, field recording and improvised performance. Exploring embodied perception at the thresholds between the tangible / intangible, audible / inaudible, conscious / subconscious, her research focuses on the themes of sonic memory, imaginary sound, interspecies listening, and synesthetic experiences. In her art practices she seeks to grasp the fragility of sonic memory as a self-therapeutic process through which tension and identity is formed, deformed and reformed.             irischuntzuchang.com

10 - Florine Mougel -  Pendule

This short acousmatic poem is based on Raymond Queneau´s “La Pendule”. It gathers music, language and meaning as one entity, so that, the content and it´s container became undifferentiated. Exclusively composed from the author´s own body noises, phonetic hash as well as guttural an gastric sounds, evoke the fateful swallowing of a pendulum.

Florine Mougel is a multi-media artist perpetually relocating herself. After studying cinema-audiovisual at the Sorbonne and art and media at ESADMM, she obtained her Masters in 2021 at the University of Art and Design in Linz. Since then, she joined the electroacoustic class at the Conservatory of Music in Amiens. Her poetic work addresses our relationship to the mediated contemporary world through the prism of phenomenology, and unfolds around the technological and collective unconscious, the coexistence of opposites, playfulness and distraction.

The work is about approaching a new, unfamiliar place with searching and curious ear. In its silent exploration, it is an attempt to capture urban noises that reveal the poetry of the space, taking radio as an opportunity to stimulate listening as a communal activity and to refresh our acoustic sensitivity. Highlighted recording was made in March 2023 on a day that snow made its rare appearance, leaving sonic fingerprints and setting the atmosphere for this multi-layered soundscape composition. Musical narrative revolves around transformation of field recordings, gradually blending with modulated feedback, offering an immersion in a meditative state. Karmen Ponikvar (1994) is a Slovenian sound artist and researcher in the field of electronic and electroacoustic music. Her practice includes recording, listening, composing and performing with the use of analog electronics, modular synths, field recordings and computer processing. As a sound synthesist, she works and performs under the duo Lip Rouge, and has released works on labels Senzorama (2021), Kamizdat (2022) and a debut EP on AmbientSoup (2022). She is a co-founder of experimental event series Zvočni Lišp in Ljubljana (Slovenia), which supports local artists, and breathes new life into abandoned places.

The Present focuses on the story of Rod, following him on his journey of rediscovering himself and his needs. It explores his attitude towards Life before and after the fantasy inciting incident he experiences. The story relies on the narration of Live, an omniscient narrator who observes and objectively describes Rod’s adventures. Life also gives voice to his feelings, inner thoughts, and memories.

The radio drama exploits sound design to stimulate an audience’s mental imagery and identification with a fictional character. It uses features such as figurative and literal sound design, spatial positioning, and subjective auditory perspective.

1) Nwando Ebizie - I Seduce (3:15)

I Seduce’ is the latest genre-blurring Afrofuturist sonic vision from multidisciplinary artist Nwando Ebizie.

In her radically unclassifiable style, the left-field polymath creates a dizzying convergence of experimental electronic music, call-and-response chants, Afro-Cuban drums and layers of dance-inducing, frenetic polyrhythms – spinning speculative fiction with the ritual cultures of the Black Atlantic, refracted through her signature mind-bending sound.

Inspired by the writings of poet, writer and activist Audre Lorde, the single dives into the profound sensuality deep within all women and ecstatically declares it as a liberating, poetic force to be embraced and reckoned with.

3) Catalina Barroso Luque - Madre Perla (7:26)

 

“5α-Reductase 2 Deficiency” is a loosely sequential montage of edited found and created sounds created while the author fixated on disciplinarian violence, traditionalist child grooming, self-immolation fantasies, queer venereal horror, childhood trauma, and extreme examples of communication breakdown.

Originated in 2013, Torschlusspanik is a middle-aged Tennessee gal’s outlet for mostly unpleasant and nonrealistic music that has been summarized as “maximalist electro-acoustic” in the past. A wide scramble of sounds are crudely forced into sound collage and (vague) song format intended for weaponizing emotional overstimulation and mulling over lost opportunity as time is near expired.

Colour Organ Cycles, Environment as a Drone

By Leslie Deere

Vocal Processing - Tom Mudd 

Leslie Deere will broadcast a gesture-controlled audio-visual piece of long-form drone music referencing the work of Éliane Radique and Pauline Oliveros. The transmission will combine, for the first time, vignettes of speech inspired by Margaret Tait's Colour Poems; a meditation on Scotland’s changing landscape in the form of short quotes and passages from locals interspersed with live ambient improvisation, created through real-time gestures in the studio. The broadcast references Oliveros' humanitarian intentions with listening and 'sonic energy' as she defined it, reconfiguring the subject / object, performer / audience relationship - triggering auditory fantasy, memory and healing.

The interviewees were:

Stuart Braithwaite
Sarah Forrest
David Archibald
Becky Šik
Matthew Docherty
Steven Harrington
Ginny Hutchinson
Lori Rebel

Leslie Deere is a researcher, artist, teacher and soundbath facilitator based in Glasgow. Recently she’s been creating work that combines gesture with audio-visuals. Currently Leslie is completing a PhD at the GSA looking at AV performance, the language of affect in art and creating new architectures for spectatorship. Her practice is multimedia, working with both hi-tech and analogue processes. Deere’s work is experiential, minimal and colourful while evoking encounters that traverse the veil between the abstract and the metaphysical. Her current work is informed by Pauline Oliveros, Éliane Radique, Ann Veronica Janssens and Hilma af Klint.

1 - Chin Ting Chan - Shadow Objects

Shadow Objects is inspired by observing the shadow of a three-dimensional object cast on a two-dimensional plane. The shape of it looks distorted, broken, and unrecognizable at times, while moving in a sporadic yet expressive way. Using this as a metaphor, one can discover endless beauty in the struggle and imperfection of life. Eventually, they become appreciative of what might appear to be fragile, or even faulty on the surface. 
The samples are primarily processed and manipulated with Tasty Chips Electronics’ GR-1 Hardware Granular Synthesizer before additional post-processing edits on the computer.

2 - Jeff Gburek - Left Alone

Left Alone is the first of a series of poems written spontaneously and recited in the field. It is an experiment in fusing automatic writing, spoken word, and outdoor environments. One could say it's a form of journalism where the human is slightly off-center, giving rise to liminal & laminal concerns.

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.  https://jeffgburekprojects.bandcamp.com/

3 - Lloyd Dunn - We See Beneath

A dry description of the locale will not satisfy the task of describing the place; especially when the experience of it interleaves objective perception, memory, dilated time, and all the other observations that come from being in an unfamiliar place over a period of days. And so we are left with this set of allusions. Sound piece composed with recordings made during Sonic Futures Residencies in Port Cetate (Romania), a program by SEMI SILENT.

Lloyd Dunn is a multimedia artist working in machine-based media for 40 years. During the 1980s and 90s he edited and published the graphic arts magazines Photostatic and Retrofuturism, which were circulated worldwide and are collected by many prominent archives. In 1987, Dunn, together with some close friends, co-founded the Tape-beatles, who were among a few early recording experimenters whose work explicitly challenged intellectual property and copyright. Since 2009, Dunn’s main project has been the project nula.cc, the online presence for a series of filecasts initiated to further explore his long-standing interest in machine-based art forms, appropriation and collage, time-based media and design. Dunn currently lives and works in Prague.

4 - Ruaridh Law - Three Tells: Travelling Light

Over the last three years, Ayrshire-based artist Ruaridh Law has been producing films for Repeater Books' online platform which place the human voice - and the stories it tells - at the centre. Here, shorn of images, are three of these stories, touching on obsession, childhood, spiralling thoughts, and human relationships.

Ruaridh Law is a sound artist & musician based in Ayrshire, Scotland. Over 25 years he's performed in groups, collaborations and solo across a wide range of spaces, as writer, DJ, perfomer and artist. Latterly, works have ranged from intimate audio performance, to large-scale outdoor works combining sound walks, improvised performance and experimental storytelling. These have manifested themselves in a tarot deck that generates music, sequential stories told over film and radio, right-wing propaganda twisted into more worthwhile content and a walk through a forest and its imagined mythologies in the dead of night - as well as countless music releases.

5 - Juliana Capes - Physical culture raise your vibration

“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 has worked in the field of integrated and expanded visual description within her own practise and those of others since 2015. Juliana Capes is a multi disciplinary visual artist.  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 - Marco Dibeltulu - Sguardo contemporaneo

This piece is inspired by urban life and pollution. Exhaust fumes and waste modify the appearance of a city to such an extent that traces of the past remain only in one’s memory. The image of what the physical world was like before overlaps with what it is today - polluted and therefore altered. Memory filters out the “additions”, and acts as a sort of virtual “garbage disposal” that restores the environment to its original value: what would a contemporary glance pass on? Are the younger generations able to feel the same discomfort as those who have historical memory?

Marco Dibeltulu (Alghero, 1971), studied at the Conservatory of Cagliari Composition, Choral Music and Electronic Music. His compositions have been selected in many competitions as 24th International Electronic Music Competition “Luigi Russolo” – Varese; CALL 2006 and 2013 – Federazione CEMAT, Rome; 6th International Computer Music Competition “Pierre Schaeffer” 2007 (1st Prize) – Pescara; 360 degrees of 60x60 – Vox Novus, New York City; ICMC 2012 – Ljubljana; NYCEMF 2014, 2015 - New York City Electroacoustic Music Festival. He performed at Festivals: Synthèse – Bourges; Zeppelin 2008 – Barcelona; Audio Art Circus 2008 – University of Arts, Osaka; 60x60 Dance – Theatre Square, London; AKOUSMA XV - AKOUSMA_INTERNATIONAL – Montréal.  http://www.marcodibeltulu.it

7 - Ilaria Boffa - Make Me Ready

How can we be change ready in this volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous era?

8 - Nacho Cordoba Delgado - This Tape Machine Destroys Time 05: Side A

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 and the rest by close friends and fellow artists Gianluca Elia (IT/DK), Simon Forchhammer (DK), Michał Biel (PL/DK), bjarkebbbb (DK), Louise Vind Nielsen (GE/DK) and the mysterious Shoji Mariah (BR/JP). 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.

For Works for Radio the five artists have made five new, unique works to be played at The Lake. The works will be presented on March 7th 2023 at a listening event at Cinemateket. Hereafter the works will be in rotation at http://www.thelakeradio.com and presented at Borealis festival (NO), Radiophrenia (SCT) and Colaboradio (DE). Radioart as a genre has a long tradition in public service-institutions where artists, writers and composers have made work specifically for the ether. And as a way to rethink this somehow underrated artistic format, we have annually commissioned new pieces of sound that challenges what art for radio can sound like. This year’s artists have been chosen in collaboration with a jury consisting of Radiophrenia (SCT), Colaboradio (DE), Borealis Festival (NO) and The Lake Radi0.

#1 Kari Robertson - SLEEP UP / WAKE DEEP

SLEEP UP / WAKE DEEP is a restless meditation on sleep and sleeplessness.  Oriented to, and within the body, the piece lingers in the discord between internal, circadian rhythms and clock (work) time. SLEEP UP / WAKE DEEP includes augmented voice, field recordings and instruments as it  loosely moves through the course of a day without sleep.

#2 Nicole L’Huillier - Lágrimas de volcán

This lament/love song contains the story of the impossible love between a volcano and a mountain, their tears, lithium, human extraction, obsession, and damage. It is arranged by the sounds of cracking minerals, effervescent activity in salt ponds, saturated hums from the Atacama desert winds, synths, and other textures.

#3 Asmaa Jama - The Salt Worshippers

The Salt Worshippers is set against Lake Assal, a salt lake located in the Danakil depression between Djibouti and Ethiopia. The work draws on an ancient tale in East Africa/West Asia of the two star-crossed lovers Qeys and Leyla. In Jama's piece Qeys and Leyla are situated at Lake Assal where one is a salt worker and the other is from the lake.

#4 Jenny Hval - Smoking

“Smoking started out as a series of recordings I made in Oslo wandering around, meeting people, and traveling on public transportation, but keeping my phone under pillows or clothing. I wanted to make something casual, a collage of everyday life, but from under the skin. Of course this led me to start writing about mothers and daughters... and cigarettes.”

#5 Linda Lamignan - Broken Bridge

Broken Bridge is a piece structured as song, floating amidst sounds of water and soft synths. Opened by the words: “you fall through the cracks, when you try to walk across that broken bridge”.

A live ambient improvisation with effected casiotone and vocals while going in and out of sleep. The performance is a durational attempt at making improvised ambient music while staying as closely as possible to a dream state. The performance will be in a prepared sleep environment that would have constant sonic drone ambience, making any 'dead air' an agent of ambient duration within the improvisation. I have many years of experience maintaining a hypnagogic state (transition from waking consciousness to sleep), and am interested in experimenting to activate this in a live performance context for radio, to see what crosses over from dream states into live broadcast.

I am an Latinx-American artist, researcher, and educator based in Glasgow, UK. My art practice and academic research explore experimental approaches to occult magic and altered states of consciousness, using drawing, sound, moving image, text, and absurdist performance. My work is mainly concerned with how to report on mystical experience formed from inter-combinations of the mythically sublime and the comically banal.

Sheltered by a concrete harbour arm and a shingle and steel embankment built on sunken ships, Shoreham Port houses a sewage treatment works, a power station, a rock processing plant, a steel factory, wharves, lorry parks and burger vans: a backdrop for swimmers, nudists, cyclists, surfers, fishers and summer picnickers.

As they engage with the unprocessed field recordings from the zone around the canal lock, listeners are invited to use another device to simultaneously mix in “phantom frequencies” and recreate a phenomena encountered at the site: the appearance of enigmatic drones and tones at the edges of the acoustic atmosphere.



Simon James is a self trained sound artist whose work is exploratory and instinctive, focussed on timbral shaping, finding the sounds in between the sounds and the relationship between these and field recordings.

Angus Carlyle explores environments as embodiments of stress and relief, with listening becoming writing, recordings, photographs and films (and very rarely performances). He often works alone but finds collaboration better and more enjoyable.

A live radio experiment broadcast across two networks simultaneously as part of Radiophrenia 2023. 

For the full spatial experience, you need two independent playout systems one tuned to Resonance FM Resonance FM | Home and the other to Radiophrenia (in Glasgow on 87.9FM Listen – Radiophrenia  positioned at different places in your home or listening space. It's a series of manipulated historical train recordings and a way of spatialising the audio simply, no prior knowledge or spatial equipment needed. The material is composed and arranged in a way that the tracks interact continuously so that each listener hears something different and unique to that moment in their own time.

Jo’s sound works take the form of a sound essay, abstracting field recordings relating to a particular social or political concept, through synthesis and spatialisation.
Her work has been shown at the Museum of London, Tower Bridge exhibition centre, Tate Modern, and played on BBC Radio 3, Channel 4. Her PhD explored experimental electroacoustic composers Beatriz Ferreyra, Éliane Radigue, Delia Derbyshire and Teresa Rampazzi, on their methods for creating new electronic sounds in 1960s analogue studios. Jo has contributed sound installations to three international Terror on Tour conferences. Her re-mix of ‘Carbon Cycle’ contributed to Hannah Peel’s 2021 Mercury Nomination.

2) Nwando Ebizie - Liturgy (4:17)

In 2019, a new natural satellite was discovered orbiting our moon. Things have not been the same since.

One day you are here. And then suddenly you’re not here. You’re not anywhere. In “An Oneirophonic Account of a Venture to the Second Moon” a disembodied voice recollects its memories of a failed expedition to the satellite orbiting Earth’s moon: the second moon. This piece – part science fiction radio drama, part fragmented soundscape – weaves a sonic tapestry that attempts to explain what it’s like to be consumed by the unknown – something that words alone can’t describe – creating a narrative set outside time and reality.

Written, recorded and edited by Astrid Björklund.

Several voices in this work have been synthesised using ElevenLabs.

All things in this piece are fictional, except for the things that are not.

Astrid Björklund is a Swedish visual artist and amateur sound weaver. Her work draws on the theories of the “Chthonic” (of relating to, or in, the underground), fiction, mythmaking, and thoughts surrounding the uncertainty, awe and ambiguity of life, with a pinch of existential dread. Noise, music and ambience for this work have been created using various synthesised, found, created and recorded sounds.

Hydra is a sound piece devised by David Dorado. It explores the multiple ways in which humans have related to water in its various states.

The presence of the human hand in the water cycle generates a spiral which is the backbone of our history.

Combining documentary, poetry and sound design, the piece reflects on water as a vital necessity and its ritualization across cultures , the symbolic dimension of ice and the deep sea and it also contemplates the sea as a frontier, as a garden of myths and as a mercantile ground.

Musician and composer based in Barcelona creator of the musical projects Casa das Feras and Malatesta, and collaborator with other bands  such as Wolf Saxon and Ghost Number.

He also works with music and sound for cinema and publicity: original soundtracks,  location sound, foley/SFX, and sound design.

As a sound artist  he has made sound collages and sound fiction pieces for several media or the sound documentary Night Ballad for the Rio Grande.

Since 2021 he directs the cicle of radioart listening sessions called Nit associated to Zumzeig Cinema in Barcelona

Nwando Ebizie & Tom Richards – The Great Unravelling

Two artists come together and move apart - entangling themselves and their idiosyncratic polymathic practices (including Black Atlantic ritual cultures, minimalism, formalism, rave cultures, analogue synthesis and machine building, performance art, neurodivergent led sensory design, neurophenomenology) and unravelling again - revealing the core of a constantly expanding Venn diagram. A multisensory, psychedelic, polyrhythmic mythic feast of movement, light, poetry and sound unfolds and you are invited into this liminal space for a spiraling cyclic ritual.

Nwando Ebizie is a constellation point for a spectrum of multidisciplinary works that call for RADICAL change. She challenges her audience to question their perceived realities through art personas, experimental theatre, neuroscience, music and African diasporic ritualistic dance. Carving out her own particular strand of Afrofuturism, she combines research into the neuroscience of perception (inspired by her own neurodiversity) and an obsession with science fiction with a ritualistic live art practice.

Tom Richards is an artist, musician, DJ, researcher and instrument designer working in London UK. He is currently studying between Goldsmiths and the Science Museum for a practice led PhD on the life and work of Daphne Oram: electronic music pioneer, and founder member of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. His music has been described as 'ritualistic post techno' and takes influence from sources as diverse as minimalism, rave, polyrhythmic drumchoir music, industrial noise, and early electronic music technologies. His music is always live and always improvised.

Catalina Barroso-Luque & Feronia Wennborg - Blue Egg Lovechild

A narrative sound piece which imagines the creation of the world after lovers Day and Night accidentally break a small robin’s egg. The piece draws from research into creation myths, focusing on cycles of transformation and the imaginary landscapes in which these stories take place. The story’s environmental elements play the main characters in the work, with aural and vocal elements moving across four speakers to create highly sensory sonic environments which are equally salacious, wrathful and bright.

Catalina Barroso-Luque constructs narratives inhabited by voices, images, bodies and objects. She interweaves different mediums to create stories and spaces that oscillate between fantastic/real, character/texture. Recent work includes poetic retellings of myths related to fertility and death within sound, drawing and sculpture.

Feronia Wennborg works across sound, performance, installation and digital media. Her practice draws from points of intimacy to explore possibilities of reimagination. Working with material embedded in everyday life, Feronia applies processes of transcription, translation and digital transformation.

Han - Hospital Radio 2071

Hospital Radio 2071 is a longform radiophonic piece exploring the disintegration of the healthcare system, the body, and the planet. It draws from the current state of geriatric care, NHS staffing levels, transhumanism, degrowth, automation, biological data, and humility.

Han is a DJ, producer, performer, sound designer, healthcare worker, and ex-biomedical engineer based in Glasgow. She is a resident DJ at La Cheetah, runs Events Research Programme (a monthly subscription-based events series that focuses mostly on local experimental musicians), and edits radical healthcare magazine The Guts of It. She likes to make weird music about institutions, informed by her commitment to a political asceticism.

1 - Nicola Fumo Frattegiani - Contracted chest

The radio was the invention that contracted the chest to the world. Noise is its foundation.

"Contracted chest" is constructed entirely from manipulated noise and concrete sounds. The composition is a short narration of some moments of a day seen by an external observer: the listener, the voyeur who sees everything and hears everything. But vision and listening can never be clear, the veil of noise dominates impassive in its movement and presence.

Nicola Fumo Frattegiani is an electroacoustic and audio-visual composer living in Perugia, Italy. His works have been presented at various national and international festivals. Author and performer, his research deals with electroacoustic music, sound for images, video, art exhibitions and compositions for theatrical performances. He is a Subject Expert in "Electroacoustic" and “Computer Music” at the Conservatory of Music of Perugia. He held the chair of Electroacoustic Music Composition at the Conservatory of Music of Messina.
He is currently professor of Sound design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Macerata.

2 - Maria Howard- Striations

This sound piece is part of Tree/Column/Claw, a project which looks at the column as both a natural and architectural form. I am particularly interested in the idea of striations, or fluting, and how a binary pattern can be disrupted through writing, sculpture and sound. The piece consists of my attempts to ‘play’ a range of striated surfaces in Glasgow – such as the columns of GOMA, the dried husks of giant hogweed that grow by the Clyde and a washboard in the archive of the Women’s Library – as well as a field recording of pigeons’ wings.

Maria Howard is a British-Italian artist based in Glasgow. Working primarily with text and sculpture, her research-led practice is concerned with the poetic and political connections between memory and imagination, site and material. She is the recipient of a Gillian Purvis Trust Award for New Writing and The Yellow Paper Prize, and has been shortlisted for the Fitzcarraldo Editions Essay Prize. She has undertaken residences with CCA Glasgow and Le18, Lyth Arts, Can Serrat and the Bothy Project, among others. She is currently a PhD candidate at Glasgow School of Art and a co-editor of Nothing Personal magazine.

4 - Katie Semro    - Trust Me, I’m a Doctor

Women are disproportionately affected by chronic illnesses, with one in every four women having an autoimmune disease. Daily life for these women can be a struggle, but their symptoms are often hard to treat. Through the layering and fragmentation of real-life stories from women across the United States, Trust Me I’m a Doctor examines the struggles these women face in their search for healing.

Katie Semro is an audio creator making music, audio art, and documentaries. Semro’s audio installations have appeared at Sound Scene Fest 2022 in Washington, D.C. and Fountain Street Gallery in Boston. She will perform the piece Ebb & Flow which intertwines the perpetual flow of the natural world with the currents of human emotion, in NH, USA this June.  She has produced, edited, sound designed, and scored several audio documentaries, and her work has appeared on 39 radio. She also teaches Ableton Live and runs the online group Women with Live to create positive experiences for women with music technology.

5 - Reni Hofmüller - Sensorium    

The SENSORium is based on the Radio Cyborg Transmitter RCT, mainly to bring radio art into public space and to serve as a sound perception interface for the city of Graz. At the SENSORium there are sensors mounted for measuring the environment such as Geiger counter and radiation in general, temperature or humidity and also fine dust. These sensors provide data in real time, which are either directly converted into sound (oscillators, granular synthesis, etc.) or indirectly serve as triggers for other controllable events. The data measured live is converted into sound and thus the concrete environment becomes audible.

Reni Hofmüller, media and sound artist, singer in the feminist post-punk band Lonesome Hot Dudes, artistic director of esc medien kunst labor Graz, activist and organizer, interested in (public) space, art, feminisms, free software

6 - Claire Barwell - Flat Life #3: Déjeuner du Matin

It is raining, I drink coffee, I am bereft. From the poem by Jacques Prévert. The sadness of the times.

I have made films. This is my third audio montage.

7 - Steve Ashby    - Maphis

Maphis is an exploration of found sound located within the cabin I stayed at while attending Mountain Lake Biological Station (Virginia, USA). These sounds hint at the stories, memories, and lived in space over the course of its existence since the 1920s.
 
Steve Ashby is a musician, composer, and sound artist based in the United States. Ashby work focuses on sound found in the natural and digital world to discover places of intersection which engage in the art of listening. Recent performances and residencies include EMS Stockholm Guest Composer Series, Radiophrenia Scotland, Cube Fest at Virginia Tech, New Music Gathering, Sound Arts Richmond, and the NYC Electroacoustic Music Festival.

8 - Johnny Dixon - The alphabet reflects

9 - Chinkeung Li - A Votive Song

Poetry as requiem: mourning the passing of a once great city - remembering Hong Kong 2019.

Chin Li is a fiction writer but is now learning to write poetry, and also trying other forms of creative expression such as audio work.

10 - Osvaldo Cibils - 60 seconds radio: L'art du dialogue

Audio via Whatsapp et montage. Les voix sont d’Antoine Normand et Fanny Cleyrat.

This piece is an improvised sound collage that incorporates found interviews about US military missions, which dissolve into a rhythmic, unsettling noise. It was made using a Lyra 8 synthesizer, an Elektron Machinedrum, a Moog Mother 32 and Subharmonicon, various Eurorack synthesis modules, and fed through reverb made from an IR response at the Neolithic site Maes Howe in the Orkney Islands. Shane Simmons is a musician and artist based in Rock Island, Illinois via Alabama, Colorado and Glasgow, Scotland. He produces soundscapes and music that simultaneously explore economic globalization and state power, and the impact they have on hyperlocal landscapes.  He uses found interviews, reverb and field recordings, including contact mics in his work.
