SHHE - When Water No Longer Flows
23 August 2023 12:15 am - 12:35 am
Experimenting with methods of sonic interpolation, sound artist and musician SHHE presents new work in response to the critical water crisis in Iraq. Constructed using recordings from Dokan Dam - the site of one of the largest hydroelectric power plants in Iraq - the composition charts the in/out-flow of water at the dam over the last 40 years, using sonification to signify periods of flood and drought.
With alarming water shortages in Iraq reported each year and within a complex hydro-political landscape, the work seeks a balance between stability and unpredictability, posing the question; When water no longer flows ¬– will it still sound?
Created during a residency in Kurdistan-Iraq in April 2023 and first presented at Erbil Citadel as part of In Between Land and Water exhibition, supported by British Council Iraq.

Holbeck, Still - Procession parts 1 -3
23 August 2023 12:35 am - 12:55 am
Explorations in dark electronic soundscapes, these three pieces represent three different parts of life: Part One is a beginning - trepidatious, unusual; Part Two is a life of chaos, rushing past at speed; Part Three is an ending, a slowing down of time and a return to nothing.
Holbeck,Still is an audio artist based in Surrey, UK. The Holbeck,Still style fuses thick analog electronic sound design with unique captures of traditional instrumental tones. This is compounded by a fascination for exploring the limits of the stereo field, whilst incorporating elements of randomness and imperfection. He utilises a range of techniques that include field recordings, vintage tape machines, sampling and cutting-edge synthesis. The resulting works are cinematic, complex soundscapes.

Mark Vernon - Keeping Time - Part 1
23 August 2023 2:00 am - 6:00 am
Keeping Time is a 22-hour-long meditative radio work that focuses on our perception of the passage of time and how time is measured. The piece combines durational recordings of clock workshops around the UK and beyond with a specially constructed ‘radio clock’ painstakingly created from 3,600 individual percussive sounds – one for each second of the hour – plus excerpts from interviews with some of the horologists who generously gave up their time for this project.
It was originally commissioned by Radio Art Zone for Esch City of Culture 2022. Radio Art Zone was an epic 100-day long radio marathon in which 100 different artists each presented a 22-hour-long radio work.
Listen to the full 22-hour-long programme and view the documentation of the project on the dedicated webpage here.

Samugan Sivanesan - fugitive frequency: Jammin’ with Suva Das
23 August 2023 7:00 am - 8:00 am
Jammin’ is a mashed-up sonic (anti-)ethnography of networked multi-user audio streaming platforms such as Jamulus and SonoBus — MUDs for musos. This episode is a montage of recordings made in various jam rooms I entered or initiated in April 2021 during COVID lockdowns in Berlin. They were edited together with excerpts from a conversation I had in November 2020 with Helsinki-based artist Suva Das and a recording from his first performance on fugitive radio in August 2020.
Special thanks to ‘Europe session’, ‘Jazz so what’, ‘probando‘, ‘talktesttrytipstricks‘, ‘1234_Portugal‘ among others. Also a shout out to Peter from Exerzierstraße for introducing me to these spaces.
fugitive radio was initiated by Sumugan Sivanesan in 2020 to research migrant, queer and anticolonial issues and music in Helsinki, in collaboration with not only media arts association, Pixelache Helsinki, and generously supported by Kone Foundation. Since 2021 the fugitive frequency podcast has broadcast on the first Tuesday of every month with CoLaboRadio on Freie Radios–Berlin Brandenburg. It is also available on Helsinki Open Waves and lumbung radio/Station of Commons. Now into its third season, the fugitive frequency podcast has become a vehicle to record interviews, document events and performances, share music and collaborate with others curious about radio as a research method.

1 - Meryll Hardt - Métamorphe (4:29)
Emerging from a light rain, a woman's breath mingles with the bestiary of a humid ecosystem, an undergrowth, where creatures are barely distinguishable: wolves, insectes, small sounds amplified, big sounds muted. Sounds winding and spinning on the ground and in the air awaken intertwined mutant energies, which are carried away in a tornado between tonal and noise in a flock of seagulls. https://soundcloud.com/meryllh
2 - Simon Le Boggit - Therefore
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.
3 - Alfredo Cerrito - Icanom
The composition originates from the idea that every material in nature, including human being, is subjected to continuous transformations, constantly changing without losing its intrinsic qualities, those characteristics that make it unique. In the general arch, several electro-acoustic windows open; these windows highlight the sonic and spectro morphological qualities of the sound material in different ways, by touching all the various degrees of subrogation, thus creating different sound worlds. In the macrostructure, the composition can be considered a great texture that metaphorically corresponds to the vital arch (birth - growth phase - decay - death).
Alfredo Cerrito is an Italian saxophonist, composer and conductor. His works have been selected for important electronic music festivals.In particular, his compositions have recently been performed at the Audioblast Festival in Nice and Paris, at the "InSonora Project" in Barcelona, on the CJSW (Canada), for the "ResonanceFM" broadcast in England, for the SICM Colloque at the Sorbonne University of Paris and the University of Lille, for the "KunstArt" exhibition in Krakow. In February 2023 he was invited to play for the "TRK Glitch Club" Festival organized by the prestigious research center "Tempo Reale" (Florence), founded by L. Berio in 1987

4 - Female Laptop Orchestra - Once upon a time
In 2021, the Fair_Play network (Austria) and Tsuku Boshi Records (France) invited Female Laptop Orchestra (FLO) to produce music for their upcoming EP, Ghost Structures, as part of the ]FairTsuku[ project, presenting female and non-binary composers from various backgrounds.
Between September 2021 and September 2022, FLO members: Nela Brown (Croatia), Maria Mannone (Italy), Magdalena Chudy (Poland), Ariane Stolfi (Brazil), Sonia Wilkie (Australia) and Ada Methea Hoel (Norway), connected over the network from their respective locations to record four tracks for the EP, showing that even in times of great uncertainty, creativity knows no boundaries when afforded by technology!
Female Laptop Orchestra project, founded in 2014 by Nela Brown, connects female musicians, composers, artists, dancers, poets, engineers and scientists globally, through co-located and distributed collaborative music creation. Each performance is site-specific, mixing location-based field recordings, live coding, acoustic instruments, voice, sound synthesis, Web Audio API’s and VR environments with audiovisual streams arriving from different global locations. From stereo to immersive 3D audio (and everything in between), FLO is pushing the boundaries of technology and experimentation within the context of telematic ensemble improvisation.

5 - Ela Orleans - Chmura TV89
Chmura TV 80 (Cloud in Polish) and it is made for the Theatre production called "Do Penguins Have Knees" (based on the most googled question in Poland, spoiler, they do!). As a theatre composer I use soundscapes which I like to call clouds to accompany longer monologues on stage. The cloud is to be played on a very low volume at the theatre so it is not a place to shine for a composer, but ultimately this is my favourite part of work. The sound adds more real texture to the bare and hollowness of the stage sound which I personally find irritating. Perfect silence on the stage means that I will hear people's stomachs rumbling and grunting. it is particularly stressful for people with asthma like me, for whom silence in the theatre causes anxiety which in effect causes heavy breathing and coughing. This particular cloud is made on the base of the list of the films and programs I watched on TV in 80s and 90s. There are Polish News , Children program called Miś Uszatek, science program called Sonda, crime series called 07 Zgloś się, but also Dynasty, Benny Hill, homily from the Polish archbishop and fragment of the interview with famous Polish filosopher Władysław Tatarkiewicz.
6 - Wulf Steel - Holding on
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.

Holger Mohaupt - Echtzeit: Sunrise Under the Olive Tree
23 August 2023 9:00 am - 10:00 am
The story goes that the cicadas were once men, before the birth of the Muses, and when the Muses were born and song appeared, some of the men were so overcome with delight that they sang and sang,forgetting food and drink, until at last unconsciously they died. From them the cicada tribe afterwards arose, and they have this gift from the Muses, that from the time of their birth they need no sustenance, but sing continually, without food or drink, until they die (...). The myth of the Cicadas appears in Plato’s The Phaedrus in a dialogue between Socrates and Phaedrus, one of his students. They meet on a riverbank in the shade of a tree occupied by a chorus of cicadas. Holger Mohaupt is an artist and filmmaker based on the East Coast of Scotland. Born in Germany, Holger studied visual communication and anthropology at the Art Academy in Hamburg, followed by a practice-led doctorate at the University of Dundee. Holger is senior lecturer in Film Studies at Liverpool John Moores University. -
José Alejandro Rivera - Blue Ecology For Future Memory
23 August 2023 10:00 am - 10:30 am
Blue Ecology for Future Memory playfully imagines a sci-fi exchange between an anonymous user who sings in their sleep; an “empathy-trained” AI, the Isostasy Voice CompanionTM; and the Dinoflagellate Overmind, abioluminescent, phytoplankton super-consciousness.
The user’s hypersensitive experience ofultra-terrestrial contact in Puerto Rico becomes a whirling portal enabling thetelepathic PyrodiniumBahamense to enter, infecting Amber the TeleTher-pathistTM with the neurotoxin, Saxitoxin. In the expanded state of interspecies communication, the user receives messages through ancient, secret-containing eco-cultural technologies.
The leaked session recording captures psycho-sonic knowledge transfer disruptions that are due to various system glitches occurring throughout the dynamic exchange, which is all of a sudden cut short.
Credits: Text, sound, and voice (user and Pyrodinium Bahamense)by José Alejandro Rivera (Proxemia)

Matto Zoppi - DEDALO
23 August 2023 10:30 am - 11:00 am
All that was submerged slowly re-emerges and what remained after the flood reorganizes itself in a new form. Contaminated by our dreams and nightmares, our memories and concepts merge; what has happened to our critical thinking in this plurality?
The highly theatrical and vocal dimensions of the writing are intertwined with biographical facts, developing a series of sound environments and narrative episodes. Daedalus imprisoned in his creation is a metaphor for the feeling of imprisonment in our climate-changing times.
A need to seek an outlet for our grief, but also an infantile part that needs to mutate into something new.
Italian performer, and musician. His artistic practice develops from the use of words, voice and mechanisms for sound and narrative manipulation. He is one of the founders of the Florence-based multimedia poetry collective Fumofonico and with San Giorgio Cibernetico is a finalist in 2021 of Alberto Dubito Prize for poetry and music. He worked in many contexts between theater, radio, performance art and digital media projects. His first solo work "Dedalo" is out in May 2023 for Fango Radio Editions.

Kolekto - Orkney Sound Waves: Home
23 August 2023 11:00 am - 11:30 am
Orkney Library & Archive’s sound archive is home to hundreds of voices on reel to reel tapes and cassettes, rich in dialect and broad in content. We wondered about the home these voices had before they made it in to the archives. We wanted to ask them a question ‘What does home mean to you?’.
Travelling across time, this audio ballad is a lyrical and immersive experience. Let the Orkney Sound Waves wash over you.

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/
4) Dante Tanzi - Pari
Pari is inspired by ritual-type ceremonies and, more generally, by those practices which, by modulating the quality of listening, aim to draw on particular dimensions of experience. Pari has a linear-cyclic trend that develops over six tracks and is based on the repetition of an ordered sequence of 13 female voice samples, immersed in electronic sounds. The samples include words of the Italian language and meaningless vocal expressions, of an emotional type: Prati, Con, Gheu, Pari, Oss, Alti, Se, Sol, Boi, Mmhs, Ella, Za, Onde. The words and vocal expressions are underlined and accompanied by the melodies of a synthetic wind instrument.
Dante Tanzi is a composer and performer of acousmatic music. His compositions have been performed in Italy (Musica Nel Nostro Tempo, Colloquium of Music Informatics, Festival 5 Giornate, Festival Musica e Suoni, Levanto Music Festival), in Switzerland (Euromicro, Computer Music Concert), in Canada (EuCue Series), in the United Kingdom (ICMC, Sonorities), in Spain (Flix Festival, Festival Bernaola), in France (Festival Licences, Festival Futura, SIME, En Chair et En Son, Klang!, Festival Technomancie), in Colombia (BunB), in the United States (NYCEMF), in Portugal (DME) in Austria (Ars Electronica), in Argentina (Atemporànea), in Japan (OUA-EMF, ACSM116) and in Belgium (Le space du son).

Production 2 - Alëna Korolëva -Premonitions
23 August 2023 12:00 pm - 12:30 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.
Based in Toronto, Canada.

NostrilFlair - Liminal Time Travel
23 August 2023 12:30 pm - 1:00 pm
Everyone travels through time and we all experience it differently. Sometimes while traveling you have to wait and float in Liminal time. Those moments in between using time in the way you want. This might be waiting for a pint at the bar or waiting for one form of transport or another, sometimes being on a whatever mode of transport you are using works as a different flavour of Liminal time. At times making music can dwell within this liminal time especially with “experimental music” where you might not fully know what is happening until you listen back to a recording of what you have been working on.

2 - Emma Margetson - Isochrone
A work combining close-up microphone recordings of a bicycle and field recordings from the Elbe Tunnel in Hamburg, a 426m tunnel for pedestrians, bikes and cars. Drawing on the cyclic, continuous nature of the material, the evolving sounds reference the never-ending
structures found within such spaces.
This is a 3D spatial composition composed for 16 loudspeakers. The immersive spatial environment subtly transitions and morphs between the two sound sources: the bicycle and the tunnel. This immersive environment, with spatial transitions takes the listener on a
journey to different places drawing on the philosophy of reality tunnels.
Dr Emma Margetson is an acousmatic composer and sound artist. She is a Lecturer in Sound Design and Research Fellow in Audiovisual Space: Recontextualising Sound-Image Media at the University of Greenwich. Her research interests include, sound diffusion and spatialisation practices; site specific works, sound walks and installation; audience development and engagement; and community music practice. She has received a variety of awards and special mentions for her work including, first prize in the prestigious L'Espace du Son International Spatialisation Competition by INFLUX (Musiques & Recherches), klingt gut! Young Artist Award in 2018 and Ars Electronica Forum Wallis 2019

3 - Serge Bulat - Vacant Reality
"Vacant Reality" is a sound experience designed to question our perception of reality and self versus the environment. It is meant to expand the concept, and document our thoughts and feelings on the matter.
The project takes the listener to the depths of the mind, in the center of the experiment. The piece was recorded on a mountain in Oviedo, Spain, in nature's isolation, from the viewpoint exposing dramatic city landscape, which provided a deeply reflective experience.
This event became a demonstration of one's place in society, pinpointing our "social self" which could be objectively analyzed under given conditions. We observe an external avatar created for survival in the big city or digital world. This unrealistic exaggerated persona, build with logical reasoning, has become a thick carcass hiding our true essence, disconnecting us from Reality.
The text is a series of ideas about the subject, in which priority is given to questions rather than answers. The field recording, taken in countries including Spain, Portugal, Italy, and the USA, features imagination triggers such as sounds of transportation, various languages, and landmark noise, providing an expansion of the experiential background.
(Released on the album "Similarities Between Fish And A Chair", 2021)
Serge Bulat is a Moldovan-American multidisciplinary artist who has been contributing to both European and American scenes, exploring various mediums: from music and visuals to radio and theater productions. Artists' most notable works are "Queuelbum" (IMA award for Best Electronic Album), the immersive video game "Wurroom", and the audiovisual installations included in conferences such as Technarte, NYCEMF, Convergence, and New Mimesis.

5 - Lorenzo Abattoir - Second Act: 02 Living in a Cage of Flesh
From the album ‘The second act’ on Vice de Forme. The continuation of a metamorphosis process started one year ago with the album "Disincarnazone". These two tracks were recorded in Torino at the end of 2022 during some sessions of constant reiteration of breathing techniques and imitation of animal sounds into an amplified environment.
Lorenzo Abattoir is a sound artist based in Torino (IT). A key element of his work is the relationship between spiritual practices and unusual methods of audio processing, mainly focusing on the use of microphones as a medium for the amplification of an act. He explores the boundaries between sound and noise using breathing techniques, bodily sounds and different kinds of amplified objects as instruments to structures his performances.

7 - Patric Simmerud - Life is biutiful
Originally composed as opening music for a Swedish documentary radio show about music from all around the world. The phrase ”Life is beautiful” is being said in seven different languages, and I mixed it with recordings from all continents except South America (which I’ve never visited) to create a short prologue for this radio show about auditive representations of life and culture around the globe.
Patric Simmerud (°1963) is a composer and sound artist based in Stockholm, Sweden. Classically trained and with wide influences, my work as a composer range from contemporary art music - including electroacoustic and radiophonic pieces, chamber music and music for full orchestra - to soundscapes and music for film. As a sound artist, I have explored various artistic disciplines such as installation, performance, videoart. My work has been internationally performed and included in various art exhibitions. In addition, I lead the music and score engraving company MakeMyDayMusic.

Diarmuid MacDiarmada - Channeling
23 August 2023 2:00 pm - 2:45 pm
‘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.

Olli Aarni – Tallentamisesta
23 August 2023 3:30 pm - 4:00 pm
Tallentamisesta is a radio essay, that contemplates ways of preserving things. Is it possible to preserve things and access them again in the future? How can something so complex as an acoustic sound or a thought be saved in any kind of format? The essay is mostly in Finnish, and it is written, narrated and sound designed by Olli Aarni, except for an English passage that's narrated by Mia Tarkela.
Olli Aarni (born 1988) is an experimental sound and music artist based in Helsinki, Finland. His work has been published on LPs, CDs and cassette tapes in four continents, and in addition he has made sound poetry, interactive web-based sound pieces, installations and radio work.

23 August 2023 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
You are welcome to join Antrianna in the Creative Lab at CCA for this performance.
Having as a starting point a series of letters from her family archive, in Much love (scored out), A. Antrianna Moutoula talks and writes nonstop in order to create an overload of words, thoughts, lyrics, memories, and citations, all seeking their own linearity.
During her residency in the Creative Lab of CCA Glasgow, Moutoula will continue her research on autotheory (the merging of autobiography and theory) by reworking the recently discovered letters of her grandmothers through the performance practice of nonstop languaging.
Antrianna Moutoula (GR, 1994) lives and works in Amsterdam. Primarily language-based her work spans performance, film, radio, and writing. Driven by the desire to articulate the continuous present, her ongoing research focuses on nonstop languaging, an autotheoretical practice in which she performs streams of consciousness by tracing her thoughts through language simultaneously in spoken and written form. By engaging with this practice in various contexts, she aims to contribute to a renegotiation of the confinements of knowledge production within artistic academic discourse. Always seeking ephemeral encounters with necessary others, she explores nonstop languaging as a biweekly radio performance at Radio WORM. Moutoula's practice is currently supported by the Artist Start Grant of the Mondriaan Fonds (NL).

Velvachell - to yourself
23 August 2023 5:00 pm - 5:30 pm
An audio collage made up of layers of found and manipulated sound, captured and created at a residency in the small town of Jilotepec and its neighbouring Mexico City. Amongst the noise and the voices that the artist encountered are melodic experiments created in response to the wonderfully precarious environment. DIY instruments, software and pedals act as a blanket to the voice notes sent in Spanish that investigate the unanswered question of why so many female artists find themselves creating in Mexico.
Velvachell is an artist and musician working with visual and sound collage. She collects the peculiar fragments of our everyday whilst recreating imagined memories. She recently presented a series of sound works and photographic transfers titled 'oddities of the waking hour' at COBERTIZO, Mexico and this audio piece presented for Radiophrenia was originally part of an installation and solo exhibition at Listen Gallery, Glasgow. She has also exhibited at Street Level Photoworks and Glasgow Open House Arts Festival in 2021.

2) Guillaume Loizillon - Ordinary times (8:53)
1) Ezio Piermattei - Turismo dentale 3
From the album 'Turismo dentale'.
2) Guillaume Loizillon - Ordinary times
Ordinary Times is a piece which, under the mimetic aspect of the sounding the collective breath, envisages more buried dimensions. The piece uses material made from field recordings made during strike movements, outdoors and in public transport. They map different moments of street demonstrations in recent years with their cries, their slogans and their spontaneous music: songs, percussion, batucadas etc. Mixed with these edited and transformed recordings is a set of electronic sounds that build a noisy, melodic or uniform counterpoint. The echoes of the conflict finally drown in the resonant distances of the corridors and tunnels.
Guillaume LOIZILLON lives and works in Paris. Composer and musician attracted by many other forms, he remains independent and constantly attracted to new experiments and artistic developments. Electronic music, sound arts, improvisation, poetry, installations, intermedia encounters, net art, etc. He was a lecturer in the music department of the University of Paris 8, director of the UFR arts aesthetic philosophy and co-founder of the independent label Trace Label. He has worked with, among others: Bony Bikaye, Merce Cunningham Dance Company, Valère Novarina, Julien Blaine, Joël Hubaut, Jacques Donguy, Tom Johnson, Esther Ferrer, Costis Triandaphylou, Barney Wilen, Hector Zazou...

Action Pyramid - Plant Playback
23 August 2023 6:00 pm - 6:30 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. -
Lise Lebleux - Ces lieux d’à côté
23 August 2023 6:30 pm - 7:00 pm
The gestures and anecdotes of a beekeeper, the sound of a flooded chasm, the dampness of a tunnel, snatches of underground voices, a man preparing for winter, rebellious radio waves, an observant with a passion for animal photography: all these proposed recordings aim to project the listener into the specific acoustic conditions of each place. These selected places may be on the periphery, rarely inhabited or visited, or sometimes even inaccessible.
Lise Lebleux lives and works in Paris. By using field-recording as her main artistic medium she creates sound topologies of different spaces, which are accessible for the listener only through the listening experience: each sound piece is the result and audiophonic record of a specific and unique space with its present and given condition(s). Most recently she has been composing and broadcasting radiophonic pieces for *Duuu Radio Paris and Montez Press Radio New York. She is currently working on a new commission for ORF Ö1 Kunstradio, Vienna.

Mark Vernon - Magneto Mori Brussels
23 August 2023 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Magneto Mori: Brussels is a process-based sound work that investigates the collective memory of Brussels residents, intertwining them with the environmental sounds of the city to weave new and unexpected narratives. It is an exploration of tape recording as a form of memory storage – and the deliberate distressing, eroding and deterioration of present day sounds to disrupt their chronology; historicising the present and fast-forwarding the effects of time. Contrasting and combining these sounds with higher fidelity recordings draws attention to the different substrata of time that are an intrinsic (though largely unacknowledged) part of any non-realtime sound production. The intention here was to create a ‘memory tape’ that acts as an audio portrait of the city and its inhabitants. This involved asking people to recall their earliest or most vivid memories and recording them direct to open reel tape. On the other side of the tape everyday sounds of the city were captured. Through a series of processes that mirror the complexity and frailty of human memory this ‘memory tape’ was then fragmented, muddled, corroded, partially erased with magnets, buried in the ground for 10 days and finally excavated and reconstituted. During this process sounds and memories are literally erased and the remains are spliced back together in a random sequence. The end result is a cut-up collage of fragmented voices and distorted field recordings. In some instances I chose to ‘re-construct’ parts of the missing memories using copies made of the original recordings. In counterpoint, a semi-autobiographical text by Elodie A. Roy reflecting on her parents memories of Brussels is interspersed throughout the piece appearing as a series of answerphone messages. Produced during a one-month residency at Q-O2, Brussels in August, 2022. Commissioned by Kunstradio for Ö1 ORF, Austria. First broadcast at 22.05 CET, 21st May, 2023. Narration written, performed and recorded by Elodie A. Roy. All other recordings by Mark Vernon. Composed by Mark Vernon. Featuring the voices of Henry Andersen, Diana Duta, Julia Eckhardt, Nika Breithaupt, Stuart McGregor, Amber Meulenijzer, Pauline Mikó, Caroline Profanter and Mark Vernon. Thank you to the participants, everyone at Q-O2, Elisabeth Zimmerman, Elodie A. Roy, Barry Burns and Manja Ristić. -

1 - Cristina Marras - Sardinia, which is like nowhere
Inspired by my experience of growing up in Sardinia surrounded by stories about D.H. Lawrence’s visit and his book, in with he gives a myopic and insensitive portrayal of Sardinia and its inhabitants. Yet, people here still celebrate him and boast with plaques his passage. I embarked on a journey to retrace his footsteps, exploring breath-taking vineyards, and, along the way, I encounter Stefano Soi, a pioneer with awe-inspiring dedication to the land who embraces old traditions while planning and creating a sustainable future. A story about neo-colonialism and the importance of preserving traditional practices in the face of modernisation.
English is my second language and my Italian accent is for me a political act. I have lived 8 years in Berlin and 23 in Melbourne, and some of my stories have been produced by the ABC. I moved back home 7 years ago. My name is Cristina Marras and although I have been telling stories for as long as I can remember, I am self-taught, so sometimes my ideas don’t come out the way I hear them in my mind. This doesn’t prevent me to tell them anyway.

2 - Wohnen - Pan-fried Mushrooms, Algae Bubbles and the Heart Chant
This piece is a collection of sounds from a workshop I hosted that celebrated women and non-binary people in experimental music by practising some of Pauline Oliveros’ sonic meditations. These sounds are woven in with field recordings from a different project called ‘con-crete’ that explored the entangled nature of site through the more-than-human voices that make up place identity. Together I feel they inspire a gentle conversation between the listener and the many voices that become audible when we choose to listen. This piece was curated for radio as an exciting and accessible setting to develop an awareness of one another.
I am a graduate of the Sound Arts MA at LCC and come from a background in Geography at University of Glasgow. Currently I want to develop my career in sound arts and explore radio as a medium of presenting my work. My practise traverses boundaries of sound, ecology and geography as I explore the testimonies of our more-than-human symbionts. By using field recordings and experimenting with playful interactive mediums of listening, my work seeks to challenge the way in which we interact with the world in, amongst and around us.

6 - Magda Lampropoulo - Two Ears Are Not Enough
The "Two Ears Are Not Enough" is a work associated with hearing problems seeking a different empathic experience of the audience with hearing loss. Undefined everyday sounds, coming from unknown sources, can cause confusion, letting the imagination relate them with things or happenings from different sources. This piece was created for "SHAWR" Space21 Radio Art Festival in Iraqi Kurdistan and was broadcasted online on December 15th, 2020.
Magda Lampropoulou (b. 1977 Athens) is a sculptress and sound artist based in Athens, Greece. Her work engages with diverse, expressive media including audio, performance, sculpture, installations, and video. She works with the medium of sound, creating artworks associated with hearing problems, seeking a different empathic concurrency of the audience. She holds a degree in Sculpture (MArt) from the Athens School of Fine Arts (2004). Her participation in exhibitions, festivals, artistic radio podcasts and residencies ("Tectonics Athens21", Onassis Cultural Centre/ "Works for Radio #4", The Lake Radio/ Space21 Radio Art Festival, Kurdistan), has resulted in her identifying her work methodology.

7 - Craig Hunter - Staple
Sometimes ideas get stuck in your head and demand attention for them to be set free. Likewise, revisiting the site of painful memories can help with personal trauma. Using storytelling and field recordings, Staple invites the listener to share in this process, closing a chapter while acknowledging the impressions left behind.
Craig Hunter is a writer, actor and DJ, compiling a monthly show for Radio Buena Vida of beatless soundscapes, neotonal compositions and spoken word. Previous Radiophrenia contributions have related to mushroom foraging, featuring field recordings and spoken word, while his work has also been broadcast on Glasgow Doors Open Day Radio. -
Robin Bale - Yet I Came After
23 August 2023 9:00 pm - 9:30 pm
This piece was commissioned as a response to the 1988 performance BledEdge by Alastair MacLennan. Sections of an interview with MacLennan are interspersed with Bale's meditations on the concept of shared memory, or even memory itself, in relation both to a deliberately evanescent form such as performance or such a slippery concept such as history, or "era". It culminates in an awkward late night street corner conversation with a sardonic ghost, voiced by the artist Nicola Woodham.

This Is..... Radio Limbo 1
23 August 2023 9:30 pm - 10:00 pm
Produced by Pete Hazell
Radio Limbo offers an escape to its own world through plundered airwaves and curated music. Made with 90% recycled material (from irresponsibly sourced samples) this new mixtape is a compilation of the cut and paste highlights that bejewel our monthly shows.
It marks five years of our residency on Bristol’s Noods Radio, and is packed with hallucinatory skits, plunderphonic sketches, music edits and playful collage that seek to transport, amuse and maybe gently disturb the listener.
Pete Hazell has produced and hosted Radio Limbo for 5 years, and alongside creative collaborator Sean Lee, runs the cassette label Limbo Tapes. As well as producing radio curiosities, Pete and Sean are musicians in their own right, making music as Titus 12 and Dive Reflex Service respectively. In 2022 they joined forces as World Of Repetitive Music for a collaborative album.
Their music, and Radio Limbo material is available via Limbo Tapes on Bandcamp.

1 - Sam Francis - Islanding
This audio is an extract from the text written during and after 24 hours spent upon the Welsh Island of Flat Holm situated in the midst of the murky waters of the Severn estuary. It is a rough edit; like the sea. It is an exploration of what it is to be islanded, and disoriented in the middle of the ocean.
My work broadly takes the form of an expanded drifting practice - as an exploration of everyday places and wilderness spaces as both inspiration and collaborators. Through approaching different contexts and environments with the intention of an explorer, I attempt to uncover the spirit, and real or imagined mythologies associated with a place.
https://samfrancisco.co.uk/Flat-Holm-Island
2 - Mel Bakewell - Keep your protest 2019
In September 2019, ‘hundreds of thousands’ of people across Australia turned out for a school strike for climate. In Adelaide, a small capital city in South Australia, I caught a lurching tram into town to capture the sounds of the protest. On the tram were young and old families, crammed in next to grumpy commuters who tells a mum to ‘forget your protest.’ In the square, we hear helicopters, a crowd marshal, a choir practicing, a First Nations man screaming into a megaphone. The protest, made up of lots of young people, makes its way to parliament house.
Mel is an audio producer from Australia, on Kaurna country. She is currently based in Naarm, Melbourne. In 2023, she is a participant in Signal Boost, an audio mentorship program. In 2020, was the winner of the CBAA National Features and Documentary Series and in 2019 was selected to participate in Australia’s first Transom Travelling Workshop, a week-long radio storytelling intensive. She has made creative audio work for community radio, ABC Radio National, and The Wheeler Centre. She has a background in law, community development and visual arts.
3 - Chin Ting Chan - Whispers of Time
Whispers of Time explores the elapse of time, the stretch of time, and the reverse of time. Various sound samples have been manipulated and processed in ways that significantly affect the time domain of the samples. Throughout the composition, one hears layers of gestures move through a three-dimensional sonic space, emulating as well as alternating between hyper-real and surreal soundscapes. The multi-layer projection of the sound stage adds much depth to the music, and creates a sound world existed only in one’s imagination. The juxtaposition of contrasting events in various lengths eventually becomes an inspiration for the title.
Hong Kong composer Chin Ting CHAN has been a guest composer at festivals such as IRCAM's ManiFeste, ISCM World Music Days Festival, and UNESCO International Rostrum of Composers. He has worked with ensembles such as City Chamber Orchestra of Hong Kong, Ensemble intercontemporain (France), Ensemble Metamorphosis (Serbia), Ensemble Signal (U.S.), eighth blackbird (U.S.), Hong Kong New Music Ensemble, and Mivos Quartet (U.S.), with performances in more than twenty countries. He is an Assistant Professor of Music Composition at Ball State University. http://www.chintingchan.com
4 - Liam Dougherty - When your house is on fire, you don’t read poetry, and you don’t sing a folk song
This work is a sound collage of samples from a ‘feedback piano’ and samples from the so-called Number stations of short-wave radio. As the product of defunct and ongoing military complexes, these represent, to me, the invisible sound sources that haunt the global airwaves. These signals are conceptually represented within the piano: feedback is created via guitar pickups and an amplifier positioned on either side of the piano’s soundboard to force the strings to vibrate. This pre-recorded material is manipulated to extended the capabilities of a piano so that there remains only subtle resemblance to the instrument.
Liam Dougherty (b. 1996) is an American composer and media artist. He works between spaces such as concert music, electroacoustic music, and installation. His practice often incorporates instrumental design and found-sounds/objects/footage situated in relationship to elements such as drone, noise, and psychoacoustics. Recent projects include: a series of installations for a deconstructed piano and feedback, and a series of audiovisual works utilizing archival footage of American nuclear weapons tests. liamdougherty.net
5 - Jacks Broken Head - Error Flow V
Part of a series of soundscapes made as part of a broader project investigating creative failure. In 2022, Failure, Understanding, Care (& Kunst) interviewed different artists on the topic of failure; this series of sound works explore failure sonically and was included within the podcast episodes. Error Flow I-VI are created from the failures, errors, glitches, mistakes and waste material from the interview recordings.
Jacks Broken Head (real name Ruth Aitken, or Ruth & Alexander) is an artist working in Tromsø, northern Norway, working with sound in addition to digital and analogue film, installation, curation and chaos research. They have a BA(Hons) in Time-Based Art from Duncan of Jordanstone (2012) and an MA in Contemporary Art from Tromsø Academy of Contemporary Art (2018).

6 - Damian Anache - Territorio
"The map is not the territory", "This is not a pipe", and this piece is not a soundscape either, much less music. Where does the water run in Patagonia and where does it go? Does Calamuchita's water fall on any surface or from where does it emerge? No matter how hard I try to impose a geometric shape on the nature of the sounds I attempt to capture, they overlap my cuts and technological manipulations until the birds sing because they don't want to stop.
Damián Anache (1981) is an Argentine artist based in Buenos Aires. His sound pieces and videos expose personal reflections on the perception of time through the exploration of micro-details, noises and geometry. As a teacher and researcher, he works at the National University of Tres de Febrero and the National University of Quilmes. He has compiled the book "Tekné: Apropiaciones desde el arte actual" (Fundación Alfonso y Luz Castillo, 2019).

7 - Dariusz Mazurowski - Exhibition I
Written as an audio installation. Several audio loops of different lengths can be played without synchronization, so that the same combination of sounds is cannot be repeated over a long period of time. This version, created for CD album Back in Time (2013), contains only one cycle of each layer. Recorded at the De eM Studio between 1999 and 2001. It's entirely digital piece with various voices – the only audio source were recordings from various satellite TV stations, some of which were encoded, which caused the sound to be distorted. Everything was then digitally processed to get various textures.
Dariusz Mazurowski is a Polish electroacoustic music composer and performer born and residing in Gdansk. While the majority of his compositional activity has focused on acousmatic works, he has also composed instrumental music in conjunction with electronics, audio installations and improvised electroacoustic music. https://deemstudio.com/

22 August 2023 11:00 pm - 23 August 2023 12:15 am
If parrhesia once described the bravery of a solo voice against a single force. Then a multitudinous oppression should be met with a chorus of dissent. A collective jamming of the signal; a co-produced glitch, a dissonant polyrhythm set against a discordant song. In defiance of the individualisation of our call the response to repression should be played amongst allies.
A rehearsal of a people yet to come in a place still being built, an unspokenword night of joyous resistance, of reverberation and resonance, of Social Parrhesia As Musical JAM.
