Test-pitting

At 3pm Radiophrenia regulars Nichola Scrutton & Zoe Strachan will be live in the studio.

Their collaborative test-pitting practice gestures towards the archaeological process of delving into a site of enquiry to reveal layers gathered over time—fragmented artefacts, traces of presence.

They create a palimpsest of sound that combines composition and improvisation, explores new or re-imagined lines of connection across time and place, and interweaves ideas of inner and outer ecologies. This live-to-broadcast sound work uses field recordings from a new site, incorporating live manipulation, a prepared instrument, and voice and text materials.
