Cunt FM is a volunteer run community radio station. So, we need cunts like YOU to get involved. At Cunt FM we learn by doing, so what you put in you get out. It’s a place where you can share what’s best about being a cunt and where the cunts you will meet are as cuntish as you and the atmosphere is always exciting. We update our programme schedule on a seasonal basis but we are always open to new programme proposals and ideas about the best ways of being a cunt…

P. Weir. Semi-artistic type, 1979 – 1991. Mercenary do-gooder, 1991 – date. Chief Patroller, Sheffield Patrol Group, 2017 - date. Possessed of an ill-conceived ambition to be a kind of nihilistic monk.
P. Weir likes crystal balls, mirror balls, garden gnomes, highly polished leather, and black velvet. As a child, he took possession of a crystal ball in a black velvet bag that belonged to an old woman living in a caravan, but he then took fright and discarded the crystal ball and the black velvet bag, and he has no memory of where he put them.

'Arriving in the Oceans of Different Views'  is the first recorded collaboration between Wellington based, Scottish visual artist and musician Neil Johnstone, and Winterwood.   
 
The music takes inspiration from a series and accompanies an exhibition  of paintings by the Dutch  artist Robèrt Franken. ( Exhibiting in Australia in 2023) 
 
"My River Styx  series of etchings was inspired by an image I saw of Charon as a kid. A skeleton with a cape on. I took that information and changed it around. I was born with a skeleton and my flesh is the cape. So I am crossing the river in this life. And gave an account of the journey. When I die I reach the other side. It is difficult to use or write about a meaning, because it is an aloof substance. I like to create works that make one wonder or even feel lost. But possess the quality to enthrall." -  Robèrt Franken

This symphony deals with the viral spread of Online conspiracy theories which happened in parallel with the Covid-19 pandemic.

The symphony has been created using small pieces that represent online posts which can be arranged in any order allowing each iteration of the symphony to be different. This echoes the individual uniqueness of social media algorithms, which play a pivotal role in the spread of online conspiracy theories.

The piece uses bitonality throughout to describe online conspiracy theories from both inside and outside the algorithm/echo chamber.

The Conduction Series is a collaborative live radio broadcast produced by a group of sound and transmission artists across the Americas on Wave Farm’s WGXC 90.7-FM Radio for Open Ears in New York’s Upper Hudson Valley. The group comes together on the first Friday of every month at 4:10pm ET using the web platform Mezcal. Emphasizing LIVE interactivity and media archaeological methods, the series explores themes of migration, feedback, user participation, low-key and on-site interaction with mobile devices, and remote collaboration at scale.

On a one-acre patch of north Northumberland moorland the rainfall soaks into the peat and then slowly drains away. But this acre is a watershed for three river catchments. Water flows through the land, flowing east to coalesce into the River Aln, to the south the Coquet, to the north the Tweed. One acre feeds rainfall into the North Sea over a distance of 35 miles. Recorded using linked traditional microphone and hydrophone Watershed presents the sounds of three burns as each flows through the land, close to and away from the watershed into a different river catchment. Headphones recommended.
 
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.

On Southend and Benfleet salt marshes sits an art work 'Graveyard of Lost Species' a collaboration between YoHa and Critical Art Ensemble, commissioned by Arts Catalyst.
 
The Lost Things audio work is a response to the boat decaying on the marsh, the recording point due East about 80 ft from the boat and five inches about the ground, left to record 30min of what ever passed sound wise, wind, birds, planes, distant dogs and trains. The day was grey, clouds lowered to the river, bright lichen, marsh grass yet to bloom and revive into spring colour, mud.

1) Arthur Compte - Vérité 24

“Photography is truth, cinema is truth 24 for times per second.”, Le Petit Soldat (1963), Jean-Luc Godard. To consider this statement through the prism of sound, the composer chose to start with a phonography and then to adorn it with other elements to obtain a "mix of 24 sounds per second" and, in a second step, a "micro-montage of 24 sounds per second". If one sound per second is the truth, how can 24 truths sound?

Arthur Comte is a French composer, producer and musician fascinated by the endless musical possibilities allowed by the digital environment. He also composes music under the name Gérard Julius. He blends organic and electronic sounds to create an eclectic music between pop, groove, ambient and experimental.

2) Pageboi - GGow1

The first sound piece I made from field recordings I took around Glasgow on a rainy day during the pandemic lockdown period.

I am an artist currently living and working in Glasgow. Lately, I've been using field recordings to make soundscapes with added vocal distortion.

3) João Pedro Oliveira - Mahakala Sadhana

This piece is part of a group of 3 works called The Journey of Sounds. It was conceived as a western perspective about some musical traditions of the eastern countries. There is no intention to establish strict theoretical relations, but the pieces of the Journey of Sounds are the result of sound images suggested by these eastern traditions. Mahakala Sadhana is based on the musical tradition of Tibet Buddhism. The Mahakala Chak-she-pa is protector of the Darma, that removes all the obstacles and permits the achievement of full illumination.

Composer João Pedro Oliveira holds the Corwin Endowed Chair in Composition for the University of California at Santa Barbara. He studied organ performance, composition, and architecture in Lisbon. He completed a Ph.D. in Music at the University of New York at Stony Brook. He has received over 70 international prizes and awards for his works, including the prestigious Guggenheim Fellowship in 2023, the Bourges Magisterium Prize, and the Giga-Hertz Special Award among others. His music is played all over the world. His publications include several articles in journals and a book on 20th century music theory.

4) Zo Bailly - Recipe for Radical Rest (serves 3)

Recipe for radical rest (serves 3) is about a Peruvian-American family who uses rest as a tool to uproot colonisation.

Maria Rosita is an activist who experienced burnout after opening her restaurant in Portland, Maine. Her daughter, Heather Flor started questioning her relationship to work at an artist residency where she felt paralysed by the pressure she put on herself to create.

And Ediercito is four years old. His work is to "eat, make things, play and cut triangles".

My name is Zo Bailly (they/them). I work on audio docs about: inner-landscapes, capitalism, crushes, homes and strangers. I grew up in Canberra, Australia within a French-American family. I am most interested in collaborative projects where a thoughtful process > a perfect product. My work has appeared on: On Air Fest, WMPG, CJLO and at the Art Matters Festival. I am a recent graduate of the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies in Portland, Maine. Currently learning, making and keeping warm in Montréal.

5) Kim Buikema - Voice Fugue

Alongside being a musical form, fugue also refers to a disassociated, amnesiac state in which a person loses their sense of self and identity. “Voice Fugue” employs basic fugal composition techniques with spoken text to evoke a sense of disassociation or confusion for the listener.

Kim Buikema is a Midwest-born, Brooklyn-based audio producer, media maker, and screenwriter. Kim previously worked as a music and media studies teacher in London before earning a master's degree in clinical mental health counseling in Chicago. Music and mental health are often topics in her work, and Kim loves to experiment with both aural & visual storytelling and making music with non-musical elements. She is currently pursuing an MFA in Integrated Media Arts at Hunter College, City University New York.

6) Beer Fear - Untitled 1

This submission is a rendition of a live performance, which includes sounds produced by live codes, field recordings, stringed instruments and 2 vocal conversations between 2 people. The concept of the piece came from the subtle idea of contrast and exploring parallels, particularly focusing on the ability to carry breath on vowels and not on consonants.

Birthed from a place fertile of boredom and anxiety, Beer Fear is a duo project between Isaac Goldsbury Murray and Nat Mile Halaseh. This piece was originally performed live at ‘Silence Fascism #3’, a noise and experimentation night at The Lubber Fiend in Newcastle upon Tyne.

7) Diana Duta - Ballade XI C

Ballades Infidèles is a research group working around the 'Ballades en jargon' – eleven poems composed by XVth century poet Françoys Villon and written in the secret tongue of the Coquillard·es, a posse of French rogues. These ballads repurpose medieval language to narrate social underworlds in code. They invite to a reflection on the possibility of otherness and the estrangement within a ’same’ language. In these excerpts, a translation of Ballade XI is modulated through a landscape of street vendors' cries. With Simon Asencio, Diana Duta, Chloe Chignell, Cee Fülleman, Loucka Fiagan, camille gerenton, Anouchka Oler, etaïnn zwer et al.

Diana Duta is an artist working with sound in hypnotic ways, with a background in art and socio-cultural linguistics. Her work focuses on concepts of mimesis, reiteration, translation and echoic memory, by re-interpreting existing material into multiple forms, with an ear on our relationship to the non-human, embodied sound and the act of listening. She makes music performances (as DIAN), works for radio, sound installations and collaborative translation projects. Her project Jambes founded in 2019 is a recording studio commissioning new work by artists experimenting with sound and voice, based in Brussels or elsewhere.

8) Steve Ashby -  County Crossing

County Crossing collects sound material from The Living Bridge and along the banks of the River Shannon as one ventures down the path towards Limerick’s City Centre. Resonances of reeds, foliage, and the bridge itself merge to intimate sonic phantoms within the air, land, and lives shaped by its might.
 
Steve Ashby is a musician, composer, and sound artist based in the United States. Ashby work focuses on sound found in the natural and digital world to discover places of intersection which engage in the art of listening. Recent performances and residencies include EMS Stockholm Guest Composer Series, Radiophrenia Scotland, Cube Fest at Virginia Tech, New Music Gathering, Sound Arts Richmond, and the NYC Electroacoustic Music Festival.

RADICAL MURMUR - A Sonic Exploration in Three Parts
 
We live in a media era that is dominated by image and language, yet sound often seems less important. In Radical Murmur TRASHLINIE dives into the possibilities of the sonic dimension. In this triptych we meet thinkers, sound artists and composers who, in very different ways, take sound as their starting point. With them we try to learn to listen with new ears. How can "sonic sensibility", to echo a term used by one of the interviewees, raise our awareness of the complexity and polyphony of society? What can sound tell us about our position in the world and our relationship with our fellow human beings or with nature? How does change, or loss, sound? Radical Murmur consists of three episodes: The Sonic City, Resonances of Loss and Reflections amidst the Noise. With the collaboration of Justin Bennett, Evelien van den Broek, Peter Cusack, Mint Park, Davide Tidoni and Salomé Voegelin.

Radical Murmur - Episode 3 - Reflections amidst the Noise

“Sound can get contagious and move from mouth to mouth, or from body to body.” In the third and final episode, we immerse ourselves in the remarkable sonic practices of two sound artists. On the Hembrug terrain in Zaandam, Mint Park takes us on a field recording session. Mint uses turbulence and field recordings to bring about a distinct non-human perspective. We also meet Davide Tidoni. His work involves flogging microphones and speakers, popping balloons and documenting the vocal culture of hooligans. In two languages, Davide provides a listening guide to his multifaceted work. What artistic and political potential is hidden in sound? An episode about risk, entropy, turbulence, contamination, control and chance.

BIO 
 
TRASHLINIE is the heading under which we, a sound artist/radio maker (Sjoerd Leijten) and an architectural historian/publicist (Roel Griffioen), have been making podcasts and audio projects since 2019. With TRASHLINIE we are interested in evoking a sense of space through sound. Interviews are typically conducted on location; this means that street noise and spontaneous encounters are included in the montage. The soundscape of any street can reveal a lot about the acoustic dimensions and atmosphere of a place, and even abstract and gradually unfolding processes like gentrification, segregation or ecological degradation can be audible, or at least have an effect on the sound profile of a place.

Ice, Food for thoughts
― Léo Campion

January 2022, Jura, France

Resurfacing, yes, a little differently, to better blend into the landscape. Glide across vast frozen stretches of land, in the smoothness of frosty sounds, where even ice bends at the bite of the cold and splits with the strangest songs, to the rhythm of escaping bubbles. Powdery silences and weightless crystals, in the vibrating thickness of a moment along a lake in the Jura.
Earigami, every month, like a game, a ritual of multiplying dimensions and perspectives, tuning in every other end of the world, on the edges, at the fringes, in between, to get to know otherwise. So inside, out, in the present. Among others.

It is a dream-state meditation about human communication.  The composition is created primarily from my field recordingsas well as numbers stations from the Conet project The Conet Project - Recordings of Shortwave Numbers Stations [ird059] : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive and a radio telescope recording sent to me by Jem Finer. The composition starts with the sound of church bells which traditionally mark the sonic boundary of a local community. It then descends into a radio babble of emergency worker calls, number stations and a paranoid analysis of events. The focus then moves to the cries of street sellers in the backstreets of Bengaluru - voices slowly falling silent as supermarkets and new ways of living change that society. The piece ends with death - a final loss of communication.

A rainy month spend in rural Italy with an old humming fridge and a hooting owl on the roof. Creating Tapeloops and thinking about how we consume places, how we constuct landscapes, how our gaze is constructed though signs and why we need noise to cancel out other noise.

In her artistic practice, Evamaria Müller is interested in the formation of landscapes, the natural, technical and cultural mixing processes which come with that and what these (inter) actions sound like. Through the direct engagement with the places visited, their stories and their acoustic signature, her works examine sounds, structures and objects of our surroundings in order to emphasize the voices contained within.

Traffic is moving freely along the M8, clotting up after the A720. There’s a capsized vehicle in a ditch following an incident with two contradictory bicycles. We’re hearing reports of a collision, some photographers, and prosthetics near the overpass. The cars hiss by my window; the highway’s jammed. We have the fast track on movement, circulation, and vectors. Tune in for the latest travel updates and motor news, for all that flow.

Melissa McCarthy’s next book, Photo, Phyto, Proto, Nitro, is published by Sagging Meniscus in November 2023. Sharks, Death, Surfers: An Illustrated Companion, from Sternberg Press, came out in 2019. She lives in Edinburgh and writes about art, literature, and sharks.

There is nowhere else to be but the moment. 
― Alan Watts

November 2022, Batobus, Paris, France

Last boat not least, always on deck for you, Phaune Radio steams off and tacks along the waves, the time of a ferry tale. Fluid waves, live streams, evaporation of time… Immediate boarding for an intense moment of in-Seine drifting to the rhythm of the words of Alan Watts.
For its tenth season of podcasts, Phaune Radio transports you to the joy of a mutating reality where space-time could well expand. Rarely one-way voice, sense of disorientation and just passing frequencies… Don’t miss the connections!
[Huge thanks to Mark Watts and the Alan Watts Organization for their support!]

1) Jasmina Al-Qaisi - Wound (from 'leaning (on) paranthesis') (1:52)
 
2) Yiskāh - 'Sudronen' (12:24) 

‘Sudronen’ (Cornish for ‘drone’) is a piece of experimental drone-music. It is the production of a project demonstrating an exploration into the history and application of drones and noise within music and sound, using audio recorded in their natural environments (i.e., not created through synthetic means or digital manipulation), and natural means of drone enhancement, by way of reverberation, acoustics, and noise. Recording sites included slate caverns, tunnels, viaducts, and fogou’s,

The final product is a sub-heavy ambient drone work that sits like a standing wave yet imperceptibly steadily flows, with moments of growth and envelopment.

I am a Cornish sound artist, performer, sound designer and live sound engineer based between London and Cornwall.

Graduating from BA(Hons) Creative Music Technology at Falmouth University, Cornwall, in 2016, which included a semester studying on the Music Composition: Sound Art degree pathway at Gothenburg University, Sweden, I am currently in my final year of MMus Sonic Arts at Goldsmiths, University of London.

​Working primarily as a Sound Artist, I perform and produce works under the name Yiskāh and work within the realm of drone music, using field recordings and interactive & generative means of creation.

 

 

“To enter the ____’s mouth” might feel like sitting on a flower and looking for trouble. While fighting chronic pain, Gura (The Mouth) is building up her character across dimensions using pareidolia, circumambulation and circumlocution. Mistaking entrances for exits, caves for cavities, venturing and fictionalising confidently confusion and coincidence, Gura seeks out loud origins of inherited fears and pains. All of this seems necessary for Gura to divert hypochondria with idiomatic sentences towards an anecdotal journey on a way inside of an MRI.

Biography:

Jasmina Al-Qaisi is a poet who writes for voice and paper, articulates and performs language with sound, food or care practices towards uncontainable forms of literature.

When writing with sound, Jasmina shape-shifts in inexistant institutional forms, invents jobs, engages in human and more than human relations and broadcasts temporarily or mobile on free and public radios.

Compositions made from recordings of workmen refinishing swimming pools in Phoenix, Arizona. The crews were Latino/Mexican who worked together using a mixture of signals and whistles chipping the plaster down to the concrete. Mexican radio songs were playing as the crew laid the wet plaster while cement mixer trucks were stationed nearby preparing and transporting it via a system of wires. On occasion the workers burst into song while they worked as sounds echoed and reverberated off the walls of the pool. It's a sonic portrait of a location, a time and a culture.

1 - berni m janssen & Vicki Hallett - murmurs melt

The river, as ecosystem, connector, memory, metaphor is explored in this collaborative work by berni m janssen (text and vocals) and Vicki Hallett (field recordings and composition). Texts, recordings, composition are streams, responding, joining and swelling to create the river as a melt of time and place. Hydrophone recordings take us below the surface into the minutiae of the rivers’ lives and particles, while the text prompts us to imagine what was, what is and what they will become.

berni m janssen is a maker of poems, performances, multidisciplinary art and preserves. Vicki Hallett is a musician, acoustic ecologist and composer.  http://www.vickihallett.com

2 - Gustavo Chab - Sapphires                                                                                      

Sapphires appear at the beginning as precise and punctual materials “a place where absorption of light is possible”. The first version of the piece where the structure can be heard. “As an Interaction between matter with different wavelengths of light as a sound”. Exploring new vocal possibilities as a part of a musical expression in this piece. Nontextual sonic combined with electronic sounds of the first piece: a variation of the word/phoneme of Sapphires is mixed and process creating new sounds like an “incident polarization state of light... A material will absorb light, like a Corundum depending on the presence of transition impurities in its crystalline structure”.

Composer: Gustavo Chab             Voices: Lia Ferenese

4 - Moumita Roy    - Borders

Borders is a piece that revolves around the artist’s dissolving personal and cultural identity when she moved to Helsinki from her hometown Kolkata, India. Thrown into a sonic quietude in a new city, starkly different from the vibrance and auditory chaos of life in Kolkata, the composition wanders through the journey of loneliness and isolation that subconsciously lurks in mind.

Moumita Roy is a sound designer and media artist with a focus on sound-related art practices. An alumna of SRFTI (IN) and Aalto University (FI), she has worked on various projects in the past decade spanning films, documentaries, digital media, installations and research. Some of her works have been presented at conferences, shows and galleries in countries such as France, Canada, Norway and Finland. Moumita is currently the Assistant Professor at the Department of EDM Sound in SRFTI, India.          http://www.moumitaroy.com

5 - Josh Curtis - And the walls did circle round him slowly

A tale told through two perspectives. A short radio piece exploring the themes of loneliness, loss of control and depression.

Josh Curtis is a London based composer, sound artist and producer. He studied at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, specialising in electronic music.  Some of his previous works have been performed in the Barbican Centre, Tower Bridge Bascule Chambers, Derry Halloween Festival, Love Light Festival and he was part of the Illuminated River Project (the longest art installation in the world). https://www.instagram.com/joshjsc_/    https://joshcurtis.bandcamp.com

6 - Ariel Mioduser - Noise

This piece reflects the constant “sound attack” of modern times, which becomes a dark but contentless, abstract sound wall against which the inner voice attempts to be heard

7 - Juliana Capes - roundtheoutside

“GOWO MANGO" an album of song sketches by visual artist and describer Juliana Capes,  commissioned as expanded audio description by artist Laura Aldridge,  as part of an audio interpretation of her recent monograph THINGS THAT SOAK YOU. Capes's descriptions of Aldridge's sculptures have morphed through conversation into sketches of songs, through exploration of Laura's working methods of expanded collage, shared enthusiasm about musical influences and love of mash up and the encouragement burgeoning friendship and collaboration.

8 - Lise Olsen - We Must Walk: The Moray Way

The composition aspires to capture Lise Olsen's walking and listening experience of the Moray Way in the Northeast of Scotland. The sound captures the continuous and active presence of the soundscape while walking along the 100-mile circular route. During a year-long artist residency with AIM and the Moray Way Association, she recorded A variety of soundscapes along disused railway lines, coastal paths, and forest tracks. Overall, the work aims to present traces of what's hidden and reveal the ephemeral moments of a journey within a dramatic Scottish landscape.

Lise Olsen is a Scottish-based artist who works in-between a sphere of space and the sonic. She aspires to uncover traces of what’s hidden, using stories, sounds, and images. Her art practice facilitates community projects, soundwalking events, and creating immersive sound compositions. Lise is also doing a practice-based PhD in Sonic Arts at the University of Aberdeen, and her research is exploring the in-between experience happening within immersive soundscapes. She aims to create a platform to encourage people to think about our connection to place, nature, and society.    https://soundcloud.com/visionbylise      https://liseolsengenerates.com/

9 - Patric Simmerud - Aitys

Aitys is the name for the primarily folk oriented, oral tradition of improvised singing and oratory between two parties referred to in Kazakh as akyns but found throughout Central Asia. The term most commonly references to a public song competition between aqyns. If Putin and Zelensky would battle with poetry instead of warfare we would save a lot of lives and money.

Patric Simmerud 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.

10 -Jeff Gburek   - Manichean Machine Gun

Manichean Machine Gun is the the second of a series of poems written spontaneously and recited in the field. It is an experiment in fusing automatic writing, spoken word, and outdoor environments. One could say it's a form of journalism where the human is slightly off-center, giving rise to liminal laminal concerns. There is a slightly apocalyptic science-fiction mood here
suggesting that climate changes are the result of dualistic thought processes.

GRAN CANARIA (21:30)

Gran Canaria is the third-largest and second-most populous of the Canary Islands. This composition attends to the continuous sonic flux created by a plurality of inhabitants and matters – human and other-than-human, living and so-called inanimate. Sounds from mostly unseen sources reverberate throughout the fields and barrancos. The fieldwork took place in the outskirts of Las Palmas (the largest city of the archipelago), in the Agaete Valley, and other areas in the northern part of the island. The piece listens to the songs of avian species (blackbird, stone curlew, birds of prey, passerines, woodpeckers), barks, howls, bleats, palm trees and other plants, the wind, machines, and everyday human activities.
 
CANARIAS SOUNDWALK explores the sonic ecologies of the Canary Islands archipelago, presenting seven compositions for headphone listening created with environmental sound materials from each of the seven main islands: El Hierro, La Gomera, La Palma, Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, and Lanzarote.

The project investigates the vitality of more-than-human entities and realities, aiming to promote less anthropocentric ways of being and thinking. Through different listening strategies and audio technologies, the work concentrates on what usually remains hidden or unnoticed, on the limits and thresholds of perception and attention. The project focuses on the voices and audible presence of animal and plant species, air, soil, water, weather, and landscape formations. Furthermore, it acknowledges the affective power of sounds themselves. This project embraces listening as a creative act, a form of attention, and a tool to investigate the world. It attempts to cultivate intimate sensory encounters favouring affectivity over signification and representation.

The project was originally commissioned by the Cultural Office of the Embassy of Spain in the US as a permanent public invisible artwork available at multiple locations in Washington, DC. Additional support from the Arts Council of Northern Ireland (ACNI), the Swedish Arts Grants Committee (Konstnärsnämnden) and the Visby International Centre for Composers (VICC). Fieldwork and production assistance: Palma E. Christian Martínez. Special thanks to Garajonay National Park, Teide National Park, and Timanfaya National Park.

“Orikum tregòn” is the audiowork related to "Interrupted houses", a project realized by the homonym collective, with the support of the Movin'Up Spettacolo-Performing Arts 2021/2022 program of the GAI - Association for the Circuit of Young Italian Artists, and of Imagonirmia Award 2022. It consists of the voices and the sounds of the inhabitants of Orikum, a village in the South of Albania, between migration, return, history and sense of belonging. It involved, among others, the children of the school "Hasan Pulo" and "Balil Pelari"and their parents; and the voice of the perfomer Jonida Prifti. It was broadcasted for the first and only time in Orikum on the 4th October 2022. Irene Aurora Paci is a sound artistic mediator using sound to set the conditions of the encounter. She trained in Political Theory, Philosophy of Language, and specialized in Mediation of Live Performance in the Digital Age. He is interested in "ordinary language" in orality and finds her dimension in the production of audio-documentaries, often created in a participative way, thanks to radio workshops with various audiences. She is active in the organization of cultural events (workshops, trainings and the Longueur d'ondes festival in Brest) between Rome (Teatro del Lido) and France. She is currently working with the Archive of migrant memories in Rome and is a research fellow at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia.

"inside, small room" is composed of audio artefacts extracted from TikTok, YouTube and amateur ghost-hunting apps: spirit box radios, infrasound, and electronic voice phenomena detectors. inside, small room transmits persistent narratives of the augmented body as radio transmitter, broadcasting parasocial alternating waves to reanimate the first recorded voice, body horror cinema, TikTok occultist influencers, and early radio hijacking as mouthpieces for the continuous history of analogue radio as a means to contact the dead. Sometimes inside the head, sometimes outside, and sometimes something where there should be nothing; inside, small room hijacks the radio and emboldens its uniquely penetrative and uniquely haunting signal. 

Working within digitally ephemeral archives and technological history Matthew Cosslett and Edward Gwyn Jones are artists based in Glasgow who share an interest in how the individual and collective self is constituted by and expanded through mediated information and culture.

In summer 2022 the duo Mobile Radio (Sarah Washington and Knut Aufermann) produced an extensive 100-day broadcast exhibition of radio art, as part of the European Capital of Culture Esch2022 in Luxembourg. Working in association with Radio ARA, they created a radio station with only two programmes per day – the main one being a mega 22 hours in duration. These long-form radio works were formed by an array of more than 200 international artists, some of whom performed live in Esch or live-streamed from around the world, and others who crafted pre-recorded shows. The idea was to create a radio station which sounds different every day, and offer the largest on-air (and now online) exhibition of radio art ever created. For Kunstradio the duo take the opposite approach: using a short snippet from each of these 100 shows condensed together into a collage, this piece represents many approaches to the creation of durational art for radio.

1) Jess Higgins - THIS FIG
 
2) Kamikaze Jones - Degeneration Loop 1
Directly evoking the work of William Basinksi, The Degeneration Loops are a series of dronescapes using found audio and sonic ephemera from queer pornography. Each loop is recorded to tape and subsequently eroded through a deliberate misuse of digitization technology. In Degeneration Loop 1, a loop from the 1980 French gay pornographic film “Equation to an Unknown” has been subjected to multiple scalpels until the tape can no longer function.

Kamikaze Jones – Radiophrenia
 
3) Johnny Dixon - PenintaMES - 3


The new ‘PenintaMES’ form takes 50 lines of Mark E Smith’s lyrics from his songs with The Fall group.  

Although clearly derived from the Cento form, invented to give new and abstract life to Homer’s verse, the PenintaMES is a new poetic form specifically and specially invented for Radiophrenia 2023 to play a little with Mark E Smith’s words.  

Lines were selected using the FallFriday hashtag on the now defunct Twitter app. Any single quoted line or, if more than one line was quoted then the first or middle line, was used. If no lines were quoted in the tweet a quick glance at the whole song lyrics was enough to take a single line.  

A debt of gratitude is owed to The Annotated Fall website for compiling the complete lyrics, and to everyone who has ever tweeted using the FallFriday hashtag. And of course to MES for the endless diversions his work provides. 

4) Elina Bry - We Will Survive Together

“We will survive together“ is a performance that involves working towards body empowerment, inspired by Jazzercise routines as well as nights out and Karaoke gone wrong. The routines will get you through the day, and inspire you to embrace you inner Judy Shepard back from outer space or on a green field back in 98”.

ElinaBry is French/Finnish, Glasgow based multidisciplinary artist. She works across video, storytelling and live performance, and is interested at listening to and re-staging the malfunctions of the human body. She is curious about the body as a sentient arena; as a responsive tool and as a protagonist of an everyday drama. By that, she investigates the known, model it and work in collaboration with the instability of her body. It is essential that she doesn't cause any harm as she want to challenge her body with the everyday, in order to give a stage and witness what is already there.

This piece is composed of free improvised music and material from a performance recorded in Recklinghausen, a small town in Germany. As part of an experiential itinerant intervention between the town and Berlin, I attempt to interpret the resonance felt through the town's labour history as an ex-mining-industrial location. To foreground a dystopian image. The failure for truth to hold capacity when it's displayed within a cacophonic membrane. When landscape turns into a site for resistance. When time and temporality offer fractality as hope.  This composition assembles elements from a personal music collection; biographically compiled with Zimbabwean liberation songs, African music ethnologically extracted and personal compositions of electronic music. I punctuate this cacophonic mix with other found archival materials. A timeless piece of James Baldwin in conversation with Giovanni that foregrounds ideas on the black family and its losses to historical catastrophes such as industrialisation and slavery. A documentary piece on Henry Ford and his close ally Frederick Taylor- except on scientific management and founder of organisational studies- which zooms in on  labour exploitation, its benefits to capitalism and the global geopolitical dynamics involved.
 
Robert ‘Chi’ Machiri born in 1978, in Zimbabwe. Machiri is a ‘sound worker’, a DJ and hoarder of things inspired by his biographical recollection of music and interest in sonic objects. His work exists at the juncture of two streams of practice, curatorial projects and art production presented through an embodied critique; a process of learning and unlearning that interweaves sound, music and image-making. His most notable project PUNGWE is an ‘anti-disciplinary’ project that circles African soundings with related contemporary arts discourses and spaces. He is currently stationed in Berlin indefinitely, having completed fellowships successively from fall 2021 for 2 months at Akademie Schloss Solitude, Stuttgart (in cooperation with Donaueschingen Global Festival) and then the DAAD Artist in Berlin programme which ended November 2022.

"Beware the Metronome Sleep Agenda!" -- A listener-immersive metadrama unfolds across the airwaves, ft. conspiratorial overnight call-in and discussion talk radio, interspersed between mysterious transmissions and strange musical interludes, all of which beg the questions: Is there a group of unknown origin monitoring us? Are they using the airwaves to secretly communicate or unduly influence us? Lastly, who are "The File Keepers" & what is their purpose? Radio Art audio drama - based on a true story. Biography: Media Petros (aka Pete Petrisko) is a multimedia artist based in Phoenix AZ (US) mediapetros.bandcamp.com facebook.com/PetePetrisko

This project unites two specific sensibilities that for many years have been embedded in the domain of sound and radio arts. Although they arose from very different environments, their work explores similar issues around preserving personal sonic histories. By stirring up nostalgia and collective memory, both artists often refer to the importance of individual experiences in the poetic "body" of micro-communities.

The artistic practice of both creators has been deeply immersed in the sonic strata of space and the imaginary narratives that emerge from it. A dedication to the culture of memory, the sounding of lost voices and an unorthodox approach to re-composing the soundscape, conveniently unites these two experimenters in a collaboration that arises from research into one particularly inspiring locality – the island of Korčula.

In addition to their own field recordings the artists were given access to the audio archives of the local radio station, including sounds of local folk customs, traditional songs, festivities and music. The strong anthropological emphasis in this collection of works is intended to encourage a deeper consideration of the coexistence of people and the environment in a historically dense climate. The appropriation of the hidden narratives of a small town on the fringes of the European Union opens up new fields of reflection on identity that looks back at the "center of the periphery", pointing to the importance of "small" spaces in the creation of European heritage.

1) Anna-Maria Rammou - Sculpting Nostalgia (A Belgradian Rhapsody)

A radio short story. Four young Serbians in Belgrade share a childhood memory in a 10 minute piece of words and music inspired by the work The Dreams (1964) by electronic music pioneer Delia Derbyshire and poet/dramatist Barry Bermange. The music was recorded on a Synthi 100 at Athens Conservatoire. Radio Belgrade hosts one of the few legendary Synthi 100 you can find worldwide and it it was used for every crafted sound that was aired in Serbia since the 70's. So the resulting soundtrack resonants with the city itself. The processed field recordings were also recorded in Belgrade.

Anna-Maria Rammou is a sound artist that tells stories through improvisational sets based on electroacoustic    and noise music. Noise is moulded into emotions and ideas, the paradox of reality and the    way it is perceived. She uses analogue gear as well as programming languages to    generate sound and manipulate live audio input and field recordings. She investigates the    physicality of the live performance and the materiality of the sound through the use of    "instruments" with tactile properties and those that enable the movement of the body. She    has collaborated with visual artists, from 3D animation directors to photographers.

4) Nacho Cordoba Delgado - This Tape Machine Destroys Time 11 - Louise Vind Nielsen - Side A

TTMDT is a collection series made from January to December 2012. One tape/digital release per month out on MAGIA. The first 6 were created by MAGIA founder Ignacio Córdoba and the rest by close friends and fellow artists Gianluca Elia (IT/DK), Simon Forchhammer (DK), Michał Biel (PL/DK), bjarkebbbb (DK), Louise Vind Nielsen (GE/DK) and the mysterious Shoji Mariah (BR/JP). All the releases focus on tapes, tape machines and machines as destroyers of time, of perception and of the perception of time. Samples, coding, looping, hacking, field recording, plunderphonics and improvisation share the detritus of Time.

6) Fabrice Alan Otse Mbida - 60 Second radio: La terre sans l'oiseau

Une création radiophonique abordant la question de l'environnement et mettant l'humain face à sa responsabilité dans la préservation non seulement de la terre, mais de sa propre espèce. Dans cet extrait, la terre se résoud À l'idée que l'humain qu'elle a aimé et à qui elle a tout donné, ne lui rend que du malheur. Dans sa négligence, l'humain (représenté ici par l'oiseau) à ainsi décidé de "s'envoler"

7) Michael Ridge - Anxious Loop Fantasy

Anxious Loop Fantasy is an experimental lo-fi ambient composition assembled from an assortment of found sounds on broken cassette tapes, microcassette field recordings, minimal drones and circuit bent keyboard glitches. These elements were layered together in real time utilising one & two-minute tape loops playing on a Tascam 4-Track and modified Sony Walkman. A radiophonic work for anxiety inducing times.

Michael Ridge is an artist based in Norwich, Norfolk, UK. His sprawling practice often combines elements of sound, video, electronics, sculpture, collage and found objects. Additional activities include running the DIY record label Quagga Curious Sounds and recording experimental noise/electronic music under the name Zebra Mu.

'Drifting through the haze, one might decide to focus on the garden’s shed’ is a 56-minute radiophonic piece in which the listener can encounter an assemblage of tools in a shed or an analysis of a square metre's vegetation.
 
As guests in this evolving sonic landscape, we navigate through deconstructed moods, personal memories, fractured voices, and field recordings harvested during a residency stay in a private garden somewhere in West Cork. Each step unveils a new facet of the garden's array as we meander amidst the lush lawn and traverse the acoustic tunnel system.
 
Yulia’s collaboration with the local gardeners – Ralph Ferguson, Johann Gardener, Chris Mac Mahan, Bruv James Slash&Burn – informs the exploration, as they dig out, cultivate and display stories ranging from the eerie to the tender, the space between presence and absence, engine sounds, poems and coffee-filled cups.

BIOGRAPHY

Yulia | Julia Carolin Kothe (*Gießen, DE) is a visual artist based between Glasgow (UK) and Frankfurt am Main (DE). She completed two Master's degrees in sculpture with distinction at the Glasgow School of Art and Kunsthochschule Mainz, respectively. She is a studio holder at the Glasgow Sculpture Studios.

Julia Carolin Kothe works at the intersection of sculpture, installation, sound, text and performance. In her site-specific installations and spatial interventions, she explores the connections, discrepancies and tensions of temporal and spatial settings that incorporate elements of personal and collective memory, intersectional feminist theory and archival material. She is interested in relationships that materialise in spaces and in-between bodies, for instance between the physical and the digital, the human and the non-human, and the glitches that emerge between experience, memory, reality and fiction. Yulia (the sonic and performative echo of JCK) is curious about collaborative ways of working that lead to radio episodes, sound works, texts and publications on both physical and digital platforms.

Recent works have been shown internationally at French Street (Glasgow), Rosa Stern (Munich), Kunsthalle Mainz (Mainz), Queens Street Studios (Belfast), POKY – Institute of Contemporary Art (Mainz), Atletika Gallery (Vilnius), mañana bold (Offenbach a.M.) and Frankfurter Kunstverein (Frankfurt a.M.), among others. She has participated in a number of residencies, including the CCA: Creative Lab Residency (Centre for Contemporary Arts Glasgow), the Hospitalfield Graduate Programme (Arbroath) and is a fellow of the Stiftung Kunstfonds (working grant, Bonn).

1) Jeff Brown - Seas and the audacity of time  

This piece is comprised of the two improv pieces surrounded by a sea of sound, field recording of the ocean, shortwave radio transmissions of number stations, Morse code, etc. all representing sound waves and the audio sea. It’s also based on a phrase a friend said about forgetting time when staring at the moon and stars.

Jeff Brown is a Seattle based musician and composer who has released on numerous labels including Further, Rusted Tone Recordings, Dub Cthonic, and Histamine Tapes. Music ranging from early electronics to cinematic soundscapes to noise and ambient loops.

2) Kirsten Millar - FÙIRNEIS SOUND

FÙIRNEIS is part of a wider project BONAWE_ that explores the industrial, social and environmental legacy of eighteenth-century Bonawe Iron Furnace, collecting field recordings, archives and materials to connect the unseen histories, varied legacies and environmental manipulations of the ironworks. Layered sound recordings of a charcoal burn suggest the sensory experience that would have been present in the forests of Argyll, which now show few traces of their industrial history to the passing visitor.

Thanks to Green Aspirations for facilitating sound recording of their second charcoal burn of 2023 and Listen Gallery for helping to support and develop the sound.

Kirsten’s work is an enquiry into the Scottish landscape, connecting the archaeological and industrial by looking at the varied and forgotten legacies, tales and manipulations of the environment. It deconstructs conventional images of the Scottish landscape, often romanticised as wild, untouched and separate from modernity and human influence, by eroding the binary categorisation of perceived nature and technology. I use visual art, archival materials and sound to interrogate how layers of history and identity in the landscape are told through natural objects and human interventions.

3) Alfredo Cerrito - The remembrance of present 
 
Neither future nor past exists. It is inaccurate to say that there are three periods: past, present and future. These three kinds of periods exist in some way in the soul: the present of the past is the memory, the present of the present is the vision, the present of the future is the expectation. The compositional work aims to create a strong link between the present, the past and the future.

4) Jacks Broken Head - The Sun Will Leave

The Sun Will Leave uses the voice in addition to other electronic elements to create an ambient dronescape which both mourns and celebrates the circularity of the sun, and considers that eventually it will leave and not return. Part of my longer multi-form research project - The Solar Library - looking into humanities relationship with the sun as an ‘ur-distributor’/original source of our energy.

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).
