  • Post Doom Romance - Prairie Transmissions

    27 August 2023  12:00 am - 2:00 am

    A 13 part audio cycle by post doom romance. Exploring the inner / outer vibrations of the landscape we inhabit.

    These recordings were captured, processed, layered, manipulated and composed in the prairies around our home over the course of one year. This cycle takes the listener through our audio landscape filtered through our ears. A document of time / space / feeling.

    An attempt to witness the land, its memories, vibrations and gradient shifts.

    We present the entire collection of 13 tracks (duration 126 minutes). A transmission from where we are, to where you are.

    What Mykel Boyd and seah (Chelsea Heikes) have in common when forming their collaborative artist group, post doom romance, is a keen eye and ear for textures. In both sound and image, we have been solo artists working both in the music industry and the fine arts world. Together, we produce sound, video, and still image compositions that are sensitively layered and textural. Our aesthetic is such that we do not heavy-handedly depict. Rather, we ruminate together in the feeling space of both literary and physical spaces, building our aural and visual language through subtle layering of manipulated field recordings.

They had inaudible sound objects concealed, used each other as marionettes and spent a long time to move a small stick slowly forward. They layered animals into ever-changing patterns, provided old printers with prostheses and made Chinese pigeon whistles circle in a huge hall. They tied strings to shape sounds, let insects rain and constructed noise as unstable as possible. They bridged time to generate space, accompanied industrial buildings while oscillating… strwueue.de
  • Lia Kohl - Untitled Radio (futile, fertile)

    27 August 2023  4:30 am - 5:00 am

    The basis of this work is a series of improvisations with live radio static, created while in residence at ACRE in northwestern Wisconsin. ACRE is situated outside of Steuben, WI, an area rural enough that pockets of it get little to no radio signal. Instead, the FM signal offers a rich and varied palette of drones, percussive stutters and pops, prompting the ear to invent myriad sonic architecture: harmonies, melodies, landscapes. Though these radio improvisations could stand on their own as musical objects, here they serve as scores or guides for further response. This work is a collection of four of these responses, utilising synthesiser, cello, voice, and processed field recordings. 
     
    Lia Kohl is a cellist, composer, and sound artist based in Chicago.Her wide-ranging practice includes solo composition and performance, installation, improvisation, and collaboration.She tours nationally and internationally, working in theater, jazz, rock, and experimental contexts.Her work centers curiosity and patience, an exploration of the mundane and profound possibilities of sound.

  • Diarmuid MacDiarmada - Channeling

    27 August 2023  5:00 am - 5:45 am

    Channeling’ was originally created in 2014 for the Cowtown festival in The Joinery gallery, Dublin. The work is an homage to the mysterious ‘number stations’ that broadcast recorded loops of words, letters and snippets of melody on long wave radio channels. The purpose of these recordings is still not known; it is believed they are possibly coded messages but it is unclear who might be the author or the intended recipient. The work also nods to the BBC Radiophonic Workshop and to Robert Ashley’s ‘Automatic Writing’ and to odd moments in rock’n’roll. The work was revised in 2023.

    Diarmuid MacDiarmada is a multimedia artist based in Sligo, Ireland. He has been active since the early 90’s in a host of guises and bands as well as in theatre and film. He is currently active in the group Rún and working on a video project dealing with artificial intelligence as A Bad Visitor.

  • Martin Eccles - Island Suite: movement 1; Beàrnaraigh Beag

    27 August 2023  5:45 am - 8:00 am

    Walk on a small uninhabited Hebridean island. Walk on the earth and in the air; walk on turf, rock and sand; walk by the water; walk with the occasional company of birds.
    I walk alone and content - island as utopia - though I cannot leave unaided - island as prison. I walk past homes, places of work and places of worship, all now long abandoned - island as inscribed history.
    On a small uninhabited Hebridean island I trace a shore with sound and poetry.

    My practice reflects my experience of being in and walking through natural environments. I use sound recording and text to present time, place, distance and movement in the landscape and to provide an opportunity for a listener to consider what it means to move through the landscape at a human pace and scale. Written or spoken and transcribed notes made whilst walking provide the material for poems, often in the form of haiku, and other text works. I have exhibited nationally and internationally and have created radio works for Framework Radio, Resonance EXTRA and Radiophrenia.

    2 - Viviane Triby - Aero-decolonial soundscape

    Each soundscape asks us the question of the texture of the sensitive and its poetic generation of imagination. But what if, before naming the perceived, we wanted to discard it to give this texture a chance to adorn itself of unheard? What do we place as sounds in the sky to show that we dominate its immensity? In a polyphony crossing the rustling of the planets (but is it really them?), the memories of children’s cartoon spaceships, the songs of animal species that expatrientate us from domesticated representations of the animal kingdom and a resonance of a vibraphone recorded with a pedal multi-effects, come the possibility of a listening of the moored of the «prejudices of the world» (Maurice Merleau-Ponty).

    Trained at the Strasbourg Conservatory of Music (HEAR) in percussion, musical analysis and direction, Viviane Triby also holds a Master in music. After having worked as a teacher, then with theatrical stages and French Opera, she returned to teaching and continued research in the socio-anthropology of art at the University of Grenoble (PhD candidate).

    7 - GX Jupitter Larsen - Radio Totimorphous 2023

    In 1985 three random ideas erupted my head, the polywave (self-contradictory movement) The Totimorphous (a house built out of logic) and the transexpansion numeral unit ( a number in between 1 & 4 but not 2 & 3) - All 3 would become major themes in my art for the rest of my life.

  • Nastassja Simensky and Rebecca Lee - Rings on water

    27 August 2023  9:00 am - 9:45 am

    Rings on Water uses a variety of recording and transmission technologies, from FM radio, magnetic tape, coil receivers, hydrophones and contact mics to traverse the protected saltmarshes and shale banks of the Dengie Peninsula and industrial arable land. The politics of ‘radio’ as a means of transmission, collision and interference are used to consider the material legacies of changing land-use and energy production in the Blackwater Estuary. Rings on Water builds on Nastassja and Rebecca’s previous collaborations, drawing on their shared interest in time, listening, material culture and land-use. Field recordings, vocals, text, Nastassja Simensky Processing, editing, mixing, Rebecca Lee Nastassja Simensky often works collaboratively to make writing, place-specific performances, events, sound work and films as a form of ongoing fieldwork.   Rebecca Lee is a musician, composer, and sound practitioner producing performance, sound works, projects, and publications, with a particular focus on narrative, time, and collaborative methods.
  • Samuel Robinson - My Synthetic Thoughts

    27 August 2023  9:45 am - 10:00 am

    ‘My Synthetic Thoughts' explores the complex intersection of mental health, medication, memory, and the subconscious. The protagonist grapples with the aftermath of recent vivid and disorientating experiences for which they are unable to attribute meaning or motive to. We learn of their increasingly futile search for clarity and relief, as they attempt to recount the unnerving happenings they are being subjected to. However, continually overwhelmed by a subconscious littered with fragments of unresolved time, they struggle to focus, and to find the greater understanding and peace they seek.

    Samuel Robinson is a London-based sonic artist and creative facilitator with a BA in Sound Arts and Design from UAL. Sam spent a decade in San Francisco, collaborating with NPR Producers 'The Kitchen Sisters' on a diverse array of socially-conscious audio storytelling projects. In recent years, Sam has worked with, amongst others, Tate, the ICA, and Resonance FM on various creative audio projects. As 'Kalou', Sam has released numerous song collections, including 'The Sculpture Garden’, favourably reviewed in The Wire. Sam's work explores creative representations of neurodivergency and mental health, using art as a platform for empowerment and societal change.

    1 - Kyle Vanderburg - You Can't Outrun Your Daydreams

    It happens to all of us: You’re in the middle of something, maybe even something important. You lose focus, and you find yourself on a new train of thought, along for the ride. Your default mode network takes over, and now you’re in a daydream. Maybe you’ll end up on a beach, or an alpine village. Maybe you’ll find yourself on the metro in an unfamiliar town. Or maybe you’ll be attacked by a cacophony of unfamiliar noises, with brief returns to the here and the now. But there’s no escape: When your mind wanders, it brings you along.

    Composer Kyle Vanderburg (b. 1986) grew up in Missouri where the Ozarks meet the Mississippi River valley. Raised on southern gospel and American hymnody, his music walks the line between eliciting nostalgia and devising innovative sonic worlds.  His electronic works often play with familiar sounds in new contexts; his acoustic works feature memorable melodies and a very fluid sense of time.

    He holds degrees from Drury University and the University of Oklahoma and has studied under Carlyle Sharpe, Marvin Lamb, Konstantinos Karathanasis, and Roland Barrett. He'd be delighted if you checked out KyleVanderburg.com.

    2 - James Hazel - pre(care)ious (s)core no. 2 (transposing aspiration)

    James Hazel’s work pre(care)ious (s)core no. 2 (transposing aspiration) explores the artist’s relationship with their working-class family. Through the recent shared act of deconstructing an old piano, an incidental type of sonic practice emerged from socioeconomic necessity drawing attention to underheard classed and cultural conditions of precarity and housing insecurity.

    James Hazel (jameshazel.net) is a composer/artist/researcher based on the unceded Gadigal land of the Eora Nation. As someone who lived in an underclass (social-housing) community for fourteen years, James employs extended score practices across sound, music, utterance, and (re)performance to interrogate what it means to live, love, and listen under precarity – stemming from both lived/researched experiences of poverty. As an advocate in this area, James has commissioned several artists from low-SES backgrounds through ADSR Zine. In recent years, James has ‘worked’ for the dole; various call centres; and, more recently, as a casual academic in musicology at USYD. In 2021, James was selected as one of the ABC Top 5 Researchers (Arts). He has produced audio work for Liquid Architecture; Carriageworks; Sydney Dance Company; Arts Incubator (Seoul) and ABC Radio National (among others).

    3 - Pablo Sanz - Ebb and Flow

    The composition follows an imaginary day, from dawn to sunset. It meanders through aural spaces based on encounters with human and other-than-human lifeforms and their movements, shaped by the presence of the river.

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

    Artist, composer and researcher. The work of pablo sanz includes site-determined and public art projects, immersive spatial audio installations and concerts, and compositions for headphone listening spread through exhibitions, broadcasts and releases.
    With a focus on the limits and thresholds of perception and attention, his practice investigates listening, sound space, more-than-human vitality, aural energies, and otherness. Listening becomes a political act intended to resist dominant tendencies in contemporary societies, cultivating alternative forms of being and thinking. His work has been experienced internationally in diverse contexts. He has participated in numerous artistic residencies, received commissions and support from multiple organizations, and regularly facilitates talks, seminars and workshops.

    5 - Birdman750 - Slates

    In a woodland clearing, we wait for the emergence of crepuscular and nocturnal birds. The source materials for this piece are the ‘slates’ at the beginning of a recording which identify the date and location. It’s been my practice to ask whoever is with me to do this.
    Dedicated to the late Chris Panton, an audio engineer, who mentored me when I started making recordings and told me always to record a ‘slate’ at the start of a session. Chris worked at dB Studios in Stroud and as audio editor for the National Poetry Archive.

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

    When we think of radio, we usually think of public broadcast and commercial stations – but the radio spectrum houses many different kinds of communications: military, aviation and marine, data modes and telegraphy, and contacts between amateur radio enthusiasts. This audio toolkit is a beginners guide to the physics of radio, to equip listeners with the technical knowledge to use online software-defined radio platforms (otherwise known as WebSDR), and tune into voice, data and telegraphy transmissions from all over the world. This piece collages many months of radio listenings from broadcasts across the bands. This project was supported by Soundcamp. 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. She is a member of feminist radio art group Shortwave Collective and arts cooperative Soundcamp, and has produced works for Radio Art Zone (2022), Movement Radio (2022), and Resonance FM (2020-22). Hannah is currently engaged in PhD research with Creative Research into Sound Arts Practice (CRiSAP) working on a project titled 'Listening in Socially-Engaged Art: Artistic Strategies for Equitable Collaboration'.

    Ryne Siesky - Grind (8:14)


    Approximately five-hundred billion plastic cups are used each year, of which roughly six billion end up in landfills every year. "grind" attempts to symbolize the faulty business and political ideologies that ultimately contribute to a lack of environmental sustainability through the destructive morphology of a single sound source: a plastic Keurig coffee pod hitting the floor.

    Ryne Siesky (b. 1996) is a Filipino-American composer, educator, and EID advocate. Under their new mononym, Todroki’s music has been described as “beautifully haunting” (Robert Avalon Competition), “patiently evocative” (George Lewis), and “unsettling, [yet] interesting” (Joshua Weatherspoon, Cycling ’74). Siesky serves as Assistant Professor of Music Technology at Johnson University where they teach courses in computer music programming, sound design, composition, and digital arts. Siesky is also the Director of Equity, Inclusion, and Diversity for the Millennium Composers Initiative.

  • Production 6 - Sara Lehad - Immemorial Echo

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

    What I call my sound matrimony is the sum of the inner and the outer elements that I hear and listen to when improvising with my machine and recording phonographies. It’s a magma of noises, concrete sounds, voices, languages, poetry, riddles, screams and, sometimes creepy stories. The composition came to me as the place where I could share the ghosts in me and the vivifiant present around me, going through a montage of phonographies and a deconstruction of the dualism in between which is a morphological sound and a representational one.

    Most of the speech and human voices arise from wonderful women, some of whom are my grandmother Wardia and her friend Haljia, but also a group of women called “Medahates” whose singing voices can be heard invoking the rain with traditional prayers because of this horrible spring canicule. All these voices were recorded by myself in April 2023 in Mayache, a little Mediterranean village in the countryside of Tigzirt in the wilaya of Tizi-Ouzou in the north of this very special and plural country – both beautiful and tragic – that I was born in: Algeria. The composition was made in my studio at Pantin, France.

    See here for translation and contextualization of the piece:

    Sara Lehad is a Paris based and Algiers born sound artist and researcher. She’s currently working on her PhD at l’Université Paris 8 and she studied electroacoustic music composition at le Conservatoire de Pantin. Her current research aims to decolonize her practice of music through a matrimonial interest in Amazigh-Kabyle women culture and through thematics such as listening, voice, border of speech, immemorial and intergenerational trauma. She has also a practice of improvisation through an electronic dispositive of no-input mixing board. She performed in les Instants Chavirés, le Non_Jazz, Doxa Esta and Cmptrmthmthcs.

  • Gabi Schaffner - LoFiLoop #3::Handmade Generative Music (Glaswegian Mix)

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

    Loop #3 evolved from recent experiments in micro-looping and its influence on time perception. In 2021, sifting through tons of field recordings for the 22-hour {A Wave Novel} for radioart.zone, I dreamt of giant ‘musical waves’ generated for this mission by some really smart and lucid machine/program/spaceship. It did not happen; instead, I assembled everything by hand. At the  Seanaps Radio Lab in 2022, I took up that thoroughly composted idea of using micro snippets of ‘audio trash’, long-lived-with sonic crumbs, and further semi-redundant sound material of short duration as a pattern-weaving material. And lo behold: It worked out. At least I think so.

    1 - Matt Warren - Sermon (Surfing The Waves With Guglielmo)

    The “Guglielmo” in the subtitle of this work refers to radio pioneer Guglielmo Marconi. Composer Gavin Bryars states “Marconi became convinced that sounds once generated never die, they simply become fainter and fainter until we can no longer perceive them. Marconi’s hope was to develop sufficiently sensitive equipment, extraordinarily powerful and selective filters I suppose, to pick and hear these past, faint sounds. Ultimately he hoped to be able to hear Christ delivering the Sermon on the Mount.”  This work is an imagining of the result of his improbable endeavour.

    Matt Warren is a nipaluna/Hobart, Australia-based electronic media artist, musician, curator, educator and writer. His art practice encompasses immersive electronic installation, single channel video and sound works. The works investigate memory, transcendence, liminal spaces and suspension of disbelief. Warren considers his art and installation practice as part of a greater context aligned to psychedelia, digital abstraction and hauntology. His music and sound practice has a basis in both composition and improvisation. He performs and records electro-acoustic and drone works, solo under his own name and collaborates with others under a number of monikers.

    2 - Dan Abrahams - Moving Sounds from the Engineering Lab

    I used to work in an Engineering facility, and between the metal workshop, electronics workshop, testing lab and office, a whole host of weird and wonderful sounds were to be heard: thumps, whizzes, beeps, clatters and bangs. One day, I decided to sample as many as I could, and make ‘musique concrete’ with them. The piece starts with an overview of the sounds, before arranging them to become rhythmic and groovy!

    Dan Abrahams is a composer, guitarist and double-bassist, playing in the Scottish jazz, folk and contemporary classical scene. He plays in the groups Dowally, Wayward and The Foo Birds, as well as releasing music in his own name. Next year he will be writing his first orchestral commission, for the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, as part of their Soundbox scheme.

    3 - Talia Augustidis - Sleep Talks

    Sleep Talks is a story about dreams and love and ethics. And cockroaches.

    When Talia’s boyfriend Eddie gets drunk, he sleep talks. For years, Talia records him and prods him and asks him questions, trying desperately to climb into his mind and explore. But it’s not that easy.

    Talia Augustidis is an award-winning audio producer and community organiser based in London. She is interested in pieces that blend fact and fiction, as shown in her short form podcast UnReality. Talia's audio work has featured in the Tribeca festival in New York, the Lucia festival in Florence, and the IFC in Reykjavik. She also organises monthly listening events in London through In The Dark.

    4 - Adrienne Murray - A Measure of Air

    A Measure of Air is the background track to a sound installation Adrienne Murray made for her 3rd Year pre-degree show which used motion sensors to detect presence and trigger sound. The track contains sounds made through tactile contact with everyday objects (a porcelain cup, branch, and small glass container of matches) as well as ambient noise, to draw focus to the sensory experience of the everyday. Adrienne seeks to magnify the importance of feeling connected to our surroundings by encouraging a more sensitive awareness of the daily interactions which echo through our environment.

    Adrienne Murray is a 3rd Year Contemporary Art Practice BA student at Gray’s School of Art.  In the 2nd year of her degree, she was the recipient of the Caram Trust Award (2022). She works with sound, drawing, poetry, and installation to articulate her interests in ecology and spatialised connections to our surroundings. She uses the immersive qualities of sound to encourage feelings of empathy for our environment while also communicating a sense of contemporary disconnect due to growing reliance on digital spaces.

    5 - Keeling Curve - Atoms on the Wall

    ‘Atoms-on-the-Wall’ was recorded live at St-Peters-on-the-Wall chapel in Bradwell-on-Sea and is the culmination of a long-term collaboration with Nastassja Simensky. It is a site specific work based in the Blackwater Estuary which is home to a Special Protection Area, Site of Special Scientific Interest, the Othona pacifist Christian community, the Chapel of St Peter-on-the-Wall (grade 1 listed building dated to 654), and the decommissioned Bradwell A nuclear power station. It is also the location of the planned Bradwell B station. ‘Atoms-on-the-Wall’ combines prerecorded elements with live performance, using field recordings from the local area, a modular synthesizer and violin.

    The Keeling Curve is an electronic music duo comprising composer Will Frampton and violinist Rhiannon Bedford. They write and record ambient and experimental music exploring humankind’s relationship to nature using synthesizers, tape loops, extended violin techniques and found sound. Since formation in early 2020 they have released three E.Ps., been awarded grants from Sound and Music and Arts&Heritage, undertaken a BrittenPears creative retreat in Aldborough, and were shortlisted finalists for the inaugural 2020 RMA Tippett Medal. They have collaborated on the site-specific piece ‘Atoms-on-the-Wall’ with artist Nastassja Simensky.

    6 - Bernd Schumann - Kanon for 4 Loudspeakers

    Nihil novum sub sole – A very old, but still powerful contrapunctical form, interpreted electronically on four loudspeakers. Instead of pitches I use larger filtered macroscopic sound objects, that are combined by threefold repetition with themselves. By complementary rhythmization a dense sound flow is created – similar to a sung canon.

    7 - Roberto Vodanović Čopor - abandoned submarine shelter

    This work is part of a study dealing with abandoned places. The field recording for this work was recorded on the island of Vis, Croatia.

    Roberto Vodanović Čopor is a multimedia artist and researcher from Zadar, Croatia. He explores sound, word, image and movement intuitivly. He often combines his experimental music with the sounds of nature, cities and the sounds he creates from everyday objects. He releases his albums independently but also for many independent publishers such as Green Field Recordings, Sono Space, Novaki Music, Camembert Électrique, Warm Milk Recordings, Mahorka, Kalamine

  • Phaune Radio Evasive Spaces #1: Undergrounds & invisible

    27 August 2023  2:00 pm - 2:30 pm

    The Garden is this evasive space where we can escape all these kinds of things that invade us – a place where our clandestine hopes can be inspired by the powerful fragility of the living to grow. A flyway for some, a place of life for others, in any case, a space of possible crossings, where the relationship between humans and non-humans is understood as it is breathed: with strength or delicacy, in depth or with lightness, with the tip of the nose or with both hands. Episode #1:  Undergrounds & invisible What if we plunged our ears forward into the incredible universe of soils? How do plants and fungi manage to “get along”? How do the floors feel? With Marc-André Sélosse, microbiologist, mycologist and botanist, at the MNHN. PHAUNE RADIO is a little bug as curious and untameable as the strange sounds it airs 24h/7 on the world wild web and on on your mobile phones: soundscapes from the wider world, bald and hairy music, meetings with animals, archives from the future, eartoys…. Phaune Radio, it’s like night and day. More than 10 000 tracks for an handmade airplay : effervescent and tousled during the day, horizontal and experimental from 10:00pm (Paris Timezone). phauneradio.com Floriane Pochon Thinks and writes with sounds. Searches, guesses, produces forms. Sound forms, hybrid forms, living forms but also forms of perception, transmission. Since 2013, has been breathing through and for Phaune Radio, a mobile webradio dedicated to acoustic ecology, radio arts and unheard-of music. A little bug as curious and wild as the strange sounds it airs 24h/7... Since 2014, has also been crossbreeding sonic and literary narratives with the writer Alain Damasio for the sound arts studio “Tarabust”. Since 2016, has also been growing audio ecosystems in Virtual Reality between Montreal and France. Exploration of suspended moments, populated silences, worlds to come or already there, all her works follow the wild thread of the living that vibrates: hybrid compositions, fictions, soundwalks, events and sound installations in unusual places … mushin.fr
  • Kode9 - Astro-Darien

    27 August 2023  2:30 pm - 3:00 pm

    Astro-Darien is a sonic fiction about the break-up of Britain narrated by synthetic Scottish voices and framed as an eponymous video game about both the role of the catastrophic Darien Scheme in the late 17th century in the founding of the UK, when Scotland failed to colonise part of present-day Panama, and the contemporary disintegration of the union. In an extrapolation of the race to become the Scotland’s first vertical satellite launch station, independence becomes an exodus to an orbital space habitat, with all the risks and dangers that entails. From a Caledonian heart of darkness to a supernova Scotia? Kode9 (aka Steve Goodman) is a musician, writer and artist. He is founder of the labels Hyperdub and Flatlines (which he set up to release sonic fiction and audio essays), producer of 5 albums, 2 with the late Spaceape (Memories of the Future, 2006 and Black Sun 2012) and 3 solo (Nothing, 2015, Escapology 2022, Astro-Darien 2023), numerous DJ mix compilations, the book Sonic Warfare (MIT Press, 2010). In addition, his sound installations have appeared in the Turbine Hall of the Tate Modern (2018) and for the More than Human exhibition (2019) on artificial intelligence at the Barbican in London.

    1) Ilaria Boffa (8:08) 2) Michael Begg & Kathy Hinde (10:00) 3) Huo Jung (4:01) 4) Lydia Davies  (3:28) 5) Trihn Lo (10:32) 6) Domenico De Simone (7:01) 7) Sillyconductor (7:44) 8) Skrriim (7:34)

    1) Ilaria Boffa - How Mortal the Doubt - Trying, failing and trying again, the eternal process that pulls our choices and decisions. Field recording taken in Vibo Marina (Italy). Violin improvisation and by Ida Di Vita (https://www.quartettoindaco.com/)              https://linktr.ee/ilariaboffaIB

    2) Michael Begg & Kathy Hinde - Elsewhere Garden - Elsewhere Garden is a custom radio mix of an 8 channel audio / kinetic sculpture installation commissioned by The Teapot Trust, premiered at Chelsea Flower Show prior to permanent installation at the Royal Hospital for Children, Glasgow. Through located sound, forensic audio processing, modular and granular synthesis, a journey from under the soil up into the tree canopy unlocks the hidden sound world of a familiar garden, and in doing so invites the imagination to become unlocked in a reflection of the art therapy process that the Teapot Trust works to provide to children and families impacted by chronic illness.

    3) HUO Jung - Bienvenue - this word means « welcome » in French. An embassy is an extension of a country's territory in a foreign country. An office of a country whose sovereignty is not internationally recognized, is it just a territory oh ghost ? This sound is a combination of bubbles, phone waiting and a speech on National Day by the Ambassador of Taiwan in Taipei representative office in France ( unofficial embassy ).

    HUO Jung, born in Hsinchu, Taiwan, 1997. Currently lives and study in Paris, France. Her work spans sound, installation, film, painting and performance, which is centered on the uncertainties of life. By collecting and reorganizing fragments of images and sounds in daily life, she depicts the poetic experience. https://instagram.com/jung.huo?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

    4) Lydia Davies - Catadupe - Rhythmic, jangly sounds carry the voice as it revels in a flood of both impassioned and insincere musings. The script for Catadupe draws on the wishy-washy etymologies of the idiom “it’s raining cats and dogs”, which is used to describe particularly heavy rain.

    Lydia Davies is an artist and writer based in Glasgow. Working across moving image, voice, sound, and bookmaking, she devises narrative-driven works preoccupied with interpersonal dynamics, bodily experiences, and the sifting and shifting exploits of voice and narration.
    http://www.lydiadavies.co.uk

    5) Trihn Lo - Scherzo - Scherzo is a small piece with an almost childish allure playing with the own and the borrowed; a mix of short quotations and mprovisations tinged with a slight irony stepping up by degrees until a “giocosamente furioso” somewhat melancholic and frenetic. The idea of an in-between, a threshold of mutual encounter/resonance is resolved in abrupt or progressive hybridizing effects. The piece had its world premiere at the 29th Futura Festival in Crest (France) 2021, performed by Nathanaëlle Raboisson on the large Motus acousmonium on Friday 20 August 2021.

    Poet, composer, visual artist and free improviser, Trihn Lo is currently working on interdisciplinary projects mixing instrumental and electronic music. The relationship between sounds and images, capable of producing an asynchronous audiovisual rhythm far from the most immediate synaesthesia, in a minimalist, experimental or more narrative approach, is today one of the main axes of her artistic work. https://soundcloud.com/user-103689113       https://trihnlo.wordpress.com

    6) Domenico De Simone - Hypnos - Hypnos and Thanatos, Sleep and Death. Death mirrors Sleep, because it is the latter that interacts with life; it is life itself, while Death represents its mirror opposite: life is mirrored in Death. Now Hypnos is introduced ... Thanatos can wait. Starting from the sounds recorded on the lakeside of the town where I was born, I imagined what the soundscape will be in the future.

    7) Sillyconductor- Analytical Swimming - I am floating on one side, one ear submerged, the other relatively dry and pointing to the sky. In my left ear I listen to what’s underneath, underwater, unseen and untouched. My right ear acknowledges the world above. In the midst of it all, there’s me, relatively cold. I am steadily moving downstream, breathing and making involuntary noises. Beneath the surface of the Danube there are mysterious bugs, sizzling crevices, maybe lava, who knows, it’s out of my reach. Above me lies the known world of birds and people and all things visible. And bats, which are something special. I always imagined big ships would generate a lot of low frequencies underwater. I was so wrong. Because now I can finally see it with my right eye and I hear it with my left ear.   Sound piece composed with recordings made during Sonic Futures Residencies in Port Cetate (Romania), a program by SEMI SILENT.  http://semisilent.ro

    Sillyconductor is one of the monickers of Cătălin Matei, a composer and sound artist from Bucharest. 

    8) Skrriim - Magnus - Water occupies the largest percentage of the planet and is home to the largest living species known to man. Unfortunately, its great biodiversity has led to overexploitation by humanity. This piece expresses what aquatic species are experiencing as humanity is increasingly exploiting their natural habitat for selfish and destructive reasons. Also, highlight the importance of preserving our environment by focusing on water and the species that depend on it for their survival. This piece is a combination of acousmatic and electroacoustic music leading into a vast marine universe and telling the story of a gigantic marine animal hunted and killed.

    Skriim, born Otse Mbida Fabrice Alan, is a Cameroonian multidisciplinary artist - electronic music composer, sound artist, and producer Dj - whose work essentially revolves around the research, collection and transformation of organic unorthodox sounds, to create musical novelty in the areas of electronic music and sound art performance. His music is mainly characterized by african rhythms, percussive sounds, ambient drones and electronic synths sounds.

They had inaudible sound objects concealed, used each other as marionettes and spent a long time to move a small stick slowly forward. They layered animals into ever-changing patterns, provided old printers with prostheses and made Chinese pigeon whistles circle in a huge hall. They tied strings to shape sounds, let insects rain and constructed noise as unstable as possible. They bridged time to generate space, accompanied industrial buildings while oscillating… strwueue.de

    2) 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.

  • Production 5 - Antonia Alessia Virginia Beeskow - Ecce, sigh! Siren calls… still, I feel the same.

    27 August 2023  6:00 pm - 6:40 pm

    "Who remembers all that? History throws its empty bottles out the window.“

    Sans Soleil, Chris Marker, 1983
    A song is playing, in the background. Hey —

    Schock!

    Still, alive.

    Waste(d) land revisited.

    This is an acousmatic cadavre, reassembling thoughts and samples that are rotting on a hard drive in a box, in the downloads folder of my laptop causing slow pace or being captured in the fields very soon. As if it was a prehistoric cave, creatures pass in and out. The traces of another time lie buried in the undefined terrain, but I will arrange and add yet another layer to this palimpsest of sounds and form a loop of sonic references and anecdotes, like a Stone/r/d henge in a sonic sphere. Roll out a carpet of sub frequencies! You may hear the echoes of the sirens, they speak with a German accent in their voice in dramatic tone… still, I feel the same.

    With voices of Meta D-1, Gertrude Stein, Anna Oppermann, Fiona and the author and a quote by Lawrence English.

    Antonia Alessia Virginia Beeskow, born in Düsseldorf, studied archaeology, Angewandte Theaterwissenschaft and Klang & Realität. As artist, sound designer and performer, Beeskow works in the independent scene, radio plays, podcasts, installations, experimental films and in the theater in different collaborations and writes about female* composers and sound artists for the grapefruits.online fanzine.

  • nonnon - Dalin’s Dream

    27 August 2023  6:40 pm - 7:00 pm

    As a child, I spent many afternoons and evenings watching television with my grandpa. Pre VCR, he liked to record the audio of a show via cassette recorder placed near the speaker. What I remember most about these is the laughter we made in the background – my grandpa had a thorough variety of laughter styles. These were destroyed, but my obsession to resurrect the past remains. Culled from two cassettes found at Goodwill in 2022, Dalin’s Dream presents two perspectives: someone who needs to be found, someone who wishes he were visible.

    Dave Madden’s (aka nonnon) earliestmemories are Magical Mystery Tour and the guy who claimed to be theLizard King. Dave uses percussion, found objects, turntables and synthesis tocreate sonic environments of foggy memories of warehouses, rituals,subterranean boogeymen, submarines and other heterotopia, melatonin dreams etal. Madden’s current direction moves through Tudor’s rain forests with abackpack stocked with Hugh Davies’ contact mics, lost Stockhausen tape loops, andCrank Sturgeon’s guerilla attitude. Dave isalso forever focused on Nowhere Mountain, a decade-long film series withphotographer Mark Regester. He is also a journalist for The Squid’s Ear.

    A sonic remapping of a lockdown that was relatively synchronized worldly, including our own different locations; Kamza- Tirana-Rotterdam- Belgrade- Berlin -L’Aquila. Questioning and examining power through sound, it articulates the invisible, from the body to the scale of the environment. Each work focuses on what by looking has been collapsed into a state that disables a present possibility, what is and remains unseen but which is entangled with what is visible and which stands inaudible.

    Spoken language and sounds include: albanian, serbian, romani, the tired voice of law, crickets, earthmovers, automated voice machines, wind, hydropower turbine and river.

    Sound pieces:
    *Who Bowed the Head? - Diana Malaj w/ ATA
    *Crossways: Wind, Crickets, Drops - Giulia Francavilla
    *Doorkeepers, Timekeepers - Klodiana Millona w/Yuan Chun Liu

  • Mira Matthew - Hyena Women

    27 August 2023  8:00 pm - 9:00 pm

    Four generations of female voices dance in a sound-filled journey between South Africa and Belgium. They speak of desire, they speak of the wild and they speak of the creative force. Through oceans and shifting sands of time-space recorded by many hands, the transmission ripples, waves and weaves, revealing a hint of the universal bathed intimacy, brimming with imagination and vibrating with a sense of place and depth. Born 1991 Mira Matthew grew up in South Africa. At 17 she left for India, following her yoga teacher. She studied yoga, and permaculture there. At 20 she moved to Brussels and studied editing. She edited Juanita Onzanga’s film, The Jungle Knows You Better Than You Do in 2016. She completed a master’s degree in audio-visual art at Luca School of Art with her first short film, Resident Alien. In parallel she continued her somatic experimentation through Alexander Technique and Authentic Movement. In 2022 she completed her first radio piece, Hyena Women. Mira is also a photographer and a mother.

    1 - Ruptured World - Third Kind Classification Types (4:06) 2 - Daniel Hignell-Tully- 72 Achoo  (18:02) 3 - Pete Stollery - Quiet City (12:13) 4 - Alistair Zaldua & Lauren Redhead - April April April (4:07) 5 - Raquel Stolf - Howls (6:27) 6 - Johannes Christopher Gerard    - The Voices In My Head    (4:26) 7 - Johnny Dixon - The slow squeezing to death of an orange (1:05) 8 - Dixie Treichel - Another Nightlife (6:25) 9 - Benoit Bories - Just a moment (0:59)

    1 - Ruptured World - Third Kind Classification Types

    Third Kind Classification Types is a short radio collage featuring sampled radio noise together with excerpts from short wave and ham radio broadcasts. The work is intended as a study of the strange atmospherics of radio noise and the effect of the weird as an indigenous aspect of radiophonic sound production.

    Ruptured World is the music project of Ali Rennie, a sound artist and composer from Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Rennie has an MSc in Sound Shaping and Audiovisual Practice from the University of Glasgow and is currently studying for a PhD in sonic arts at the University of Aberdeen.       alistairrennie.com             rupturedworld.com

    2 - Daniel Hignell-Tully- 72 Achoo

    An algorithmic work that draws upon videos uploaded to Youtube with fewer than 72 views, 72 Achoo celebrates the voices of those who, for one reason or another, are typically drowned out by the omnipotent, sonorous clamour of the global village. Snippets of these unknown contributors texts are used in conjunction with algorithmically seeded chords and plucks drawn from a modular synthesizer, creating a sonic horizon upon which further live instrumental exploration can occur.

    Daniel Alexander Hignell-Tully is a sound, video and performance artist from the UK.         http://www.distantanimals.com        https://difficultartandmusic.bandcamp.com/

    3 - Pete Stollery - Quiet City

    Quiet City, commissioned by sonADA, is an immersive work, using recordings crowdsourced, via social media, from a number of locations in Aberdeen where the sound had changed since before the restrictions put in place in 2020 to slow the spread of COVID-19. Sounds moves from (un)recognisable soundscapes through to non-real world transformed soundscapes, reflecting a sonically changed city and how we relate to it.

    With grateful thanks to the following, for the use of their sounds: Heitor Alves, Ian Booth, Christine Cameron, Bea Dawkins, Sheila Gordon, Fraser Lovie, Kathleen McBride, Robert McColl Millar, Lorna Philip, Bruce Scharlau, Anne Shipley, Jenny Shirreffs.

    Pete Stollery is a composer and sound artist based in Aberdeen, Scotland where he works for sound, an incubator for new music activity and, until 2022, the University of Aberdeen.  His creative work tackles issues around the relationship between sound and place and how we approach these through listening. As well as music for the concert hall, he has created a number of sound art installations, sound maps and sound walks, many of which involve co-creation with communities.         http://www.petestollery.com

    4 - Alistair Zaldua & Lauren Redhead - April April April

    SouthWestApril is a collection of four experimental sound poems that combine speech, improvisation and live electronics that can be heard as separate pieces or a continuous set. The texts were created using extended Oulipo techniques, while the e-violin interacts with live electronics that sample and process the improvised sound in real time. These pieces were recorded at the SWR Experimentalstudio in Freiburg, Germany, in April 2023; live electronics were performed in the studio by Maurice Oeser.

    5 - Raquel Stolf - Howls

    Howls from/to the radio. A fragment of a collection of dog howls recorded since 2008. Howls are vocalizations that act as an attempt to gather the group, as howls reach long distances, creating an instant communication net (high-pitched and/or obscure messages). Howls are also: a way to warn about intruders; a kind of call/sign to someone who has left home (or to a partner); a vocal indication of frustration and pain. Howls are a sign of boredom and/or loneliness.

    6 - Johannes Christopher Gerard    - The Voices In My Head    

    The sound piece focuses on an unseen but real situation. The theme and sounds are based and relate to the voices and sounds I've been hearing in my head almost constantly for many years. Caused by medical and mental issues. It's a simple attempt of a field trip into my head and to approach sound and noise from another level and place.  Under certain circumstances, the voices in my head are capable of creating a temporary space in which things are they behave, act and interact differently, disobeying the normal rules of everyday life

    Born 1959 in Cologne, German. Currently lives in The Hague, Netherlands. Interdisciplinary and multimedia artist. In January 2022 participation in the Acoustic Interior Project under the sound artist Anne Wellmer in The Hague, Netherlands.

  • Erik Belgum - Shakespeare Colorized

    27 August 2023  11:30 pm - 28 August 2023  12:00 am

    The Evidence-Based Fiction Network presents - Shakespeare Colorized.  Disinhibited speech coming out 10 syllables at a time. . . when you hit your head hard enough, like in Shakespeare, the words just don’t seem to stop. Thanks to new technology, many “colorized” words enhance the modern listener’s enjoyment of this production of Shakespeare's The Porn of Caltech.

    Erik Belgum has written and produced radio works for ABC (Australia), BBC (England), CBC (Canada), New American Radio, Bayerischer Rundfunk, and Hessischer Rundfunk. In 2003, WDR-Cologne produced a documentary on his work.  For the last five years, Belgum has run the “Evidence-Based Fiction Network” at http://www.ebfn.org, a repository of horrendous comedy and soundtexts.  By day, he is a speech pathologist listening on an hourly basis to the extremes of speech and language: autism, aphasia, brain injury, methamphetamine-affected children, dehydration, schizophrenia, dementia, and many others.
