underneath the rubble my hand became a will
A new radiopiece made by Palestinian soundartist Dirar Kalash in the Worm studio, february/march 2024
“underneath the rubble my hand became a will”
This piece is made up entirely from sounds collected from Palestine, and is composed from different field recordings : protests, nature, markets, city streets, and from different locations across Palestine. Those sounds were then heavily processed and composed, as an analogical approach to the political realities of Palestine, and the spatial and temporal transformation of both the land and the people —their movements, their lives, and their deaths.
Dirar Kalash (b. 1982) is a musician and sound artist whose work spans a wide range of musical and sonic practices within a variety of instrumental, compositional and improvisational contexts. Kalash also extends his practice into inter-disciplinary theoretical research. He has produced several solo and collaborative music albums and is active as an improvising musician.

Ís (glace) jörð (terre) eldi (feu) vindur (vent) by Barylin Tone for Jet fm.
Ís (glace) jörð (terre) eldi (feu) vindur (vent) is an imaginary soundscape based on the fantasma of Iceland, mainly made with a baritone guitar, an oniric and telluric view of this particular country, inspired by impressions from litterature, music, sound, photography. This long time fantasma has reborn by meeting the great Auður Ava Ólafsdóttir few months ago.
The reading is a chapter from the book Dyralif (La Vérité sur la Lumière) by Auður Ava Ólafsdóttir read by herself (french translation by Eric Boury, reading by Annaïck Domergue)
O2 / Sofðu unga ástin mín is a song by eauchaude.
Featuring Auður Ava Ólafsdóttir, Doris Abéla & Annaïck Domergue.
With sounds and some music by eauchaude.

The world opens up for me from my world of sound.
Resonating Sculptures by Reni Hofmüller
“If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration”. Nikola Tesla
Sounds of electromagnetic waves, overlapping frequencies of unfathomable spaces - magical, fleeting and touching, these are the electro-poetic worlds of sound that Reni Hofmüller opens up with the antennas of her Resonating Sculptures. Radiation emissions from the natural and human-made world, the cosmos and the technological environment transformed into sounds: hissing, crackling, hissing, whistling, vibrating, clanking and clicking, humming, buzzing, vibrating and booming, voices, tones and sounds from the radio.
Since 2012, the media artist, musician, composer, organiser and activist has been working with communication spaces that are created and characterised through the use of antennas and interpreted musically and improvisationally in live sets. The sculptures are mobile, small, heavy, expansive, they reference places and spaces for which they were designed, and they each have their own history of creation. These are reflected in the forms as well as the spectrum of what they receive. Eight Resonating Sculptures have been created over the past eleven years. In April 2024, a new series of antennas based on the water systems – rivers, drinking water canals and sewage – will open in Scala, Tabakalera, San Sebastian.
As early as the end of the 19th century, Nikola Tesla picked up signals from Jupiter during his first radio experiments and interpreted them using his imagination. The Resonating Sculptures appeal to this power of imagination in the same way as the blue of the deep when diving in the sea or the noise of the radio between the transmitters that suggest a potential, a maybe, a possibly. Hofmüller: “The world opens up for me from my world of sound.”
My poor subjectivity… I can give it away.
Dominic J. Jaeckle & Nadia de Vries, Verse & Chorus
An exquisite corpse of an “I” played out in a multiplicity of voices, Verse & Chorus is an experimental act of collaborative reworking that quilts and collages cuts from two manuscripts (Jaeckle and de Vries) into an imagined third object. In order of appearance, the piece assembles readings from Nadia de Vries, Cíntia Gil, Diamanda La Berge Dramm, Mark Lanegan, Stanley Schtinter, Becket Flannery, and Vilde Valerie Bjerke Torset, with an accompaniment of borrowed songs and original music from Matthew Shaw, Mark Lanegan, and Duke Garwood.
Jaeckle and de Vries writings are excerpted from two collections published by Dostoyevsky Wannabe; Jaeckle’s 36 Exposures and de Vries’ I Failed to Swoon, 2021. Verse & Chorus was first broadcast on Montez Press Radio (New York), 29.01.21, and was broadcast thereafter as an element of the online programme for the 2021 edition of Rewire Festival (The Hague, Netherlands), 06.05.21.
Readers, in order of appearance : Nadia de Vries, Cíntia Gil, Diamanda La Berge Dramm, Mark Lanegan, Stanley Schtinter, Becket Flannery, Vilde Valerie Bjerke Torset, Matthew Shaw & Duke Garwood.

Would you stop your car if there was a balloon on the road ? A big yellow, red balloon on the road ? Probably.
“The Whole World Stopped…” is a collaborative compilation of field recordings, a patchwork of making music and narrating, underedited ad hoc experiment, and also a celebration of friendship, a soundscape where two friends meet—Joana and Stefan, both of them colleagues at Kanal 103.
Joana is a multi-instrumentalist, though her main focus is classical guitar. She does use both classical and electric guitar throughout the recording, as well as bontempi electro-acoustic keyboard and goblet drum. Three minutes into this experimental piece, you can hear Stefan’s voice, first telling about a street scene he witnessed downtown Skopje, then reading a poem from Elizabeth Bishop (“At the Fishhouses”) and a short story from Franz Kafka (“Before the Law”). Finally, in the conclusion, a fusion of washing machine centrifuge and a mandola played with a violin bow.
The work is an undisguised communication between music and storytelling, scarcely premeditated, if at all. Most of it is recorded at Partizan Print, a studio of independent artists in Skopje, and very good friends and collaborators with Kanal 103.
Created by Joana Risteska, classic guitar master and multi-instrumentalist, and Stefan Alijevikj, fiction writer and sound seeker. You can follow their radio shows on Kanal 103 Sunday and Tuesday evenings respectively

À quatre, à quatre, à quatre, oui comme une feuille A4, nous sommes tous une feuille A4, et c’est hyper contraignant.
Bruit Confus on Radio Grenouille (88.8 Marseille, FR) founded in 2018 by Billy Guidoni explores deviant and extreme music in all of its forms: noise rock, harsh noise, psychedelia, math rock, experimental, industrial, post-hardcore, free rock, no wave, post-punk, black metal etc. The CCDM (Collectif de Contre-déterminisme Magique) created in 2019 by Peter Hart, also a host on BC, organizes regular free improvisation concerts in randomized ensembles with more or less 90 musicians from the Marseille underground scene.
These two agents of chaos grew up together and continue to inspire one another. In each episode of BC, the presenters engage in a short sound improvisation of around three minutes (called the Improv Sequence) with musical instruments or objects found at home or on site.
Over the past seven seasons, they have developed their unique sound during this collective ritual that has become a kind of project of its own.
Recently, Radio Grenouille’s technician, Alex Papi Simonini, searched the archives to make a sound collage of the greatest moments from the Improv Sequence. This special episode gives a glimpse of an ever-evolving creative dialogue.
Five Sonic Spaces
This piece proposes a sonic journey through the depths of the unconscious mind. Patterns repeat, evolve, mutate and dissipate into other shapes, just like a dream where you can wander freely without ever knowing exactly where you are, when it begins or ends – just a blank space to be filled in the void.
Rita Silva (PT, 1993) is a Portuguese composer and multi-instrumentalist with a focus in analog synthesizers and algorithmic composition.
Part of this year’s roster of Shape +, a renowned european platform for innovative music and art.
Rita released in 2022 her debut album “the inflationary epoch“, which resulted in several media mentions and positive feedback. She has played in venues and festivals such as Out.FEST, Zigurfest, ZDB, GnrATION, Paard, Madeira DIG, The Grey Space In The Middle, among others.
Currently, her research is focused on the use of recursive melodic patterns that can manipulate the listener’s cognitive processes, where the boundaries between sound, space and time are intertwined in a psychoacoustic cosmos.
“Nature is an aeolian harp, a musical instrument whose tones are the re-echo of higher strings within us.” – Novalis
In ancient civilizations, the god of wind (Eole, Aiolos, Aeolus) has an important place. He manifests himself through aeolian harps built for him. In his piece “A los cuatro vientos”, French sound artist and sound engineer Félix Blume presents wind sounds being played in four different places of America, recorded between 2011 and 2014. In one case only it is an aeolian harp (Chile), built with the purpose of interacting with the wind. In other cases, there are power posts of low and high voltage (California, Chile, Mexico) or posts of an old ski lift (Bolivia). The electrical wires are the ropes; posts and steel structures are the resonant body; tubes are the organ… Are these modern buildings the aeolian harps of our times?
For Radia, Félix Blume remixes the recordings used for “A los cuatro vientos” in order to present a new, continuous 28-minute sound work under the same name.
As R. Murray Schafer comments in “The Soundscape”, the installation of electricity in the houses at the beginning of the nineteenth century changed the rural soundscape with the high voltage power lines. Dr Philip Dickinson from the “Research Institute of Sound and Vibrations” mentions the case of a woman who attempted suicide because she continually heard a sound inaudible to others. After several tests, they discovered that some power lines resonated and produced sound between 30 and 40 Hertz. This same sound has been recorded in other places, depending on temperature, humidity and wind.

Félix Blume is a sound artist and sound engineer. He currently works and lives between Mexico, Brazil and France.
He uses sound as a basic material in sound pieces, videos, actions and installations. His process is often collaborative, working with communities and using public space as the context within which he explores and presents his works. His practice involves an extended understanding of listening, as a way to encourage the awareness of the imperceptible and as an act of encounter with others. His work incorporates the sounds of different beings and species, from the buzzing of a bee, the steps of a turtle or the chirp of a cricket, as well as human dialogues both with natural and urban contexts. He is interested in myths and their contemporary interpretation, in what voices can tell beyond words.
I dreamt of giant ‘musical waves’
LOFI LOOP #7 : HAND MADE GENERATIVE MUSIC (RADIA MIX)
by GABI SCHAFFNER
“Loop #7 evolved from recent experiments in micro-looping and its influence on time perception. In 2021, sifting through tons of field recordings for the 22-hour {A Wave Novel} for radioart.zone, I dreamt of giant ‘musical waves’ generated for this mission by some really smart and lucid machine/program/spaceship. It did not happen. Instead, I assembled everything by hand.” (Gabi Schaffner)
Gabi Schaffner works as an interdisciplinary sound artist and curator. Her artistic practice is determined by the methods of poetic ethnography in connection with fluxus-like mise-en-scènes, radio-making and sound art performances. Much of her work originates from journeys. Next to her radiophonic productions, Schaffner creates speculative musical genres and inserts them into music history in order to raise awareness for cultural, gender-related and/or geographical conditions. Schaffner has been realising award-winning productions with Deutschlandfunk Kultur, radia.fm, Hessian Cultural Radio and ABC Australia. Since 2012 she maintains DATSCHA RADIO, a nomadic transmission project that links the medium of radio to current ecological issues.

Oniric Reverberations
Oniric reverberations refer to the echoes and residual effects of dreams or dream-like experiences. The term “oniric” is derived from the Greek word “oneiros,” meaning dream. When we delve into the realm of dreams, we often encounter a surreal and enigmatic landscape that can leave a lasting impact on our waking consciousness. The concept of oniric reverberations explores the idea that dreams possess a lingering influence that extends beyond the dream state itself.
Dreams are a fascinating and intricate aspect of human experience. They are a complex interplay of emotions, memories, fears, and desires, creating a unique tapestry of imagery and sensations. When we awaken from a vivid dream, its effects can reverberate through our thoughts, emotions, and actions, shaping our perceptions of reality.

Jukebox Utopia’s Snapshot
Today’s radia programme from the RADIA-Kollektiv-Vienna features the anthropologist Bianca Ludewig who researches music and sound and plays with records as Jukebox Utopia. She will introduce her radio piece Jukebox Utopia’s Snapshot that was part of the 2023 project Contingent Snapshot.
The following piece is a sound collage she produced as a contribution for the Contingent Snapshot project by Eugenia Seriakov and Francesco Zedde, which took place in Linz in September 2023 as part of STWST48hours open Radiolab and was broadcasted on various international radio stations. The core of the 12-hour programme consisted of contributions by the two curators exploring the facets and sounds of Linz, live improvisations by local and international musicians and sound contributions from their open call. For her audio snapshot, she associatively edited together found footage, sound pieces from her music archive and field recordings to create an audio essay for your enjoyment.

Zéro propos. Zéro titre. short compilation : Souffle et soupirs, Zentrèj, boom boom bisou, Refuse / résiste, Que rue là, Sauf décollage immédiat.
Zéro Propos est un groupe lausannois de poésie hyperjective créé en 2020 par Gäel Bandelier et Gilles Furtwängler. À la suite de trois résidences au sein de la radio *Duuu à Paris en 2021 et 2022, le groupe a donné naissance au projet Zéro Propos. Zéro Titre., double album comprenant 13 morceaux et formant l’exposition sonore sur laquelle ils ont travaillé. A partir de bribes de phrases cueillies dans la rue, sur internet, partout, ils écrivent à quatre mains, petit-à-petit, coupant, collant, ajoutant, mélangeant des mots et des phonèmes. Le résultat est une matière de phrases mêlant quotidien et poésie concrète et abstraite.
Composé par Gaël Bandelier et Gilles Furtwängler de Zéro Propos, et interprété par Gaël Bandelier, Rachel Bazaïda, Sarah Calas, Martine Chesnau, Sarah Salomé Delétain, Gilles Furtwängler, Delphine Herscovici, Lucienne Larue, Michel Larue, Angeline Ostinelli, Anne-Marie Petit, Clara Rodriguez et Marielle Soca.

Radia Show 977 : CONTINUUM / Usmaradio
CONTINUUM has been a collaborative radio performance conceived by Roberto Paci Dalò for TACTUS Radio Festival.
The challenge was to work on radical improvisation without any conduction and prior rules giving a maximum of freedom to the participants. Most of the artists, performing from different locations, didn’t know each other and actually never talked to each other before the performance. Obviously the key of the project was an extreme attention during the performance from any single artist: “the art of listening” with 18 people performing together on-site in the Republic of San Marino and remotely from the USA, Germany, and Austria.
What came out was a surprise. A subtle texture of sounds with an amazing quantity of moments of silence despite the massive use of live electronics. The performance somehow proved that the planned lack of conduction can be balanced by the level of attention and involvement from the performers. It was a mesmerizing immersion in an acoustical world where electronics graciously merged with acoustical instruments and voices. A nocturnal winterreise across galaxies.
CONTINUUM intended to develop the praxis of the “telematic performance” which grew up drastically from the beginning of the 90s of the last century. Especially around activators such as the programme ORF Kunstradio in Austria, the Ars Electronica Festival and L’Arte dell’Ascolto radio festival, seminal projects such as Cheap Radio, Horizontal Radio, Rivers&Bridges, Realtime, designed an innovative use of telecommunication technologies witnessing the arrival of the Internet in conjunction with the broadcasting and telephone networks. The artist Robert Adrian was one of the major inspirations for many artists in the field.

Radia Show 976 : Armen by Andrius Arutiunian / Radio Papesse
Armen is a sound work and collection which Andrius Arutiunian has been developing since 2016 related to the diasporic music. It traces obscure Armenian disco releases from the 80’s, remakes little-known pop songs from different parts of the Armenian diaspora, and navigates this treacherous sonic field in polyphonous, and sometimes contradictive ways. Armen is also a homage to one of the most common Armenian names.
In 2017 an iteration of Armen was published as a vinyl release. As writer Monika Kalinauskaitė wrote in her text for this publication: “But right now, at this moment, on a rug, in a car, by the monotonous music machine, the only circles you draw are your first ones, spinning the body and thought, breaking the world’s axis into millions of dancing small figures. You may as well hear of those rivers – it’s a miracle, but they reach everywhere, populating the world with gold-headed fish. Only blood and bodies alter their flows, oh look, we are now trapped in an island that was not here before, I believe we are also humming songs we never knew, but somehow remember.”
Andrius Arutiunian is a sound artist and composer based in the Netherlands. He works through sound and hybrid forms of media, with a particular interest in sonic artefacts, aural identities, and digital, automated technologies. Sonic dissent, alternate modes of political and musical organisation, and playful investigation of esoteric and vernacular histories form Arutiunian’s most recent works. Using hypnotic and enigmatic forms, Arutiunian’s works often question the notion of musical and political attunement. In 2022 Andrius Arutiunian represented Armenia at the 59th Venice Art Biennale with a solo show entitled Gharīb. Other recent solo shows include Counterfates (Meduza Vilnius, 2023) Diaphonics (Centrala Birmingham, 2023), and Incantations (CTM and silent green, Berlin, 2021).

Radia Show 973 : Soundscapes after October 7th 2023 / Radio Študent
The EU-Israel relationship is one of cooperation and mutual benefit: indeed, it is the deepest and most far-reaching relationship the EU has ever had with a third country.
Well, but, the show is not about that. It’s about what’s going on in the background (and recently forefront) of these business deals between the EU and its new old partner in the energy sector.

Radia Show 972 : Variations on a Topography by Lia Kohl / Wave Farm
Chaque mercredi *Duuu diffuse une émission inédite réalisée par l’une des radios du réseau Radia, groupe international informel de radios libres. Radia se veut un espace de réflexion sur la radio et la création radiophonique d’aujourd’hui.
Cette semaine *Duuu diffuse Variations on a Topography de Lia Kohl pour Wave Farm.
Variations on a Topography is constructed in stratified layers, each containing a recording of a full scan of the AM/FM spectrum from bottom to top and back down again. Tuning through the spectrum in the same place every time, Kohl charts a map of her specific signal, showcasing the geographic specificity of radio and drawing out its topography with additional musical sounds. Cello and synthesizer highlight moments of clarity and static, creating a counterpoint ruled by the dichotomy between them. These “signal sweeps” also offer a sedimentary view of time, capturing multiple 28 minute sections of what would otherwise be completely ephemeral sounds. The recordings, taken over the span of a few months, speak in various ways to the passage of time – the weather gets colder, traffic patterns shift, wars break out. The signal, like a ghostly mountain range, hovers around us.
Lia Kohl is Wave Farm’s fall 2023 Radio Art Fellow. She is a composer, cellist, and sound artist based in Chicago. Her wide-ranging practice includes solo composition and performance, installation, improvisation, and collaboration. Kohl tours nationally and internationally, working in theater, jazz, rock, and experimental contexts. Her work centers curiosity and patience, an exploration of the mundane and profound possibilities of sound.

Cette semaine *Duuu diffuse Subterranean Bubbles de Music for hiccups pour Radio Panik.
Music for hiccups is a duo composed of Brussels-based musicians Chiara Bacci and Nicola Lancerotti.
The improvised music they create centers around a continuous dialogue between modified voice and modular synthesizers. In their performances, the roles they play are intentionally left undefined: sometimes the voice can become an abstract disturbing sound, while modular synths can create melodic textures and often they are intertwined in a manner that blurs the lines between them.
“Subterranean Bubbles” was recorded in July 2023 during an artistic residency at Zsenne Art Lab in Brussels.
Music for hiccups est un duo composé des musiciens bruxellois Chiara Bacci et Nicola Lancerotti.

Music for hiccups est un duo composé des musiciens bruxellois Chiara Bacci et Nicola Lancerotti.
Leurs improvisations sont articulées autour d’un dialogue ininterrompu entre la voix modifiée et les synthétiseurs modulaires. Lors qu’ils performent, les rôles qu’ils jouent sont intentionnellement indéfinis : parfois la voix peut devenir un son abstrait et dérangeant, tandis que les synthés peuvent créer des textures mélodiques, les deux sources étant souvent entrelacées de manière qui en brouille les limites.
“Subterranean Bubbles” a été enregistré en juillet 2023 lors d’une résidence artistique à Zsenne Art Lab à Bruxelles.
Radia Show 970 : Much (scored out) love, A. by Antrianna Moutoula / Radio Worm
Chaque mercredi *Duuu diffuse une émission inédite réalisée par l’une des radios du réseau Radia, groupe international informel de radios libres. Radia se veut un espace de réflexion sur la radio et la création radiophonique d’aujourd’hui.
Cette semaine *Duuu diffuse Much (scored out) love, A. d’Antrianna Moutoula pour Radio Worm.
In her performances, Antrianna Moutoula, repeats the same format: a table, a laptop, a projector, and a woman who talks and writes nonstop. In Much (scored out) love, A. her starting point is a series of letters from her family archive, the correspondence of two Greek women with their partners in exile, between 1958 and 1971. The result is an overload of words, thoughts, quotes, memories, transcriptions, and citations, all seeking their own linearity. The performance was developed during Moutoula’s residency in the Creative Lab of CCA Glasgow, a partnership between radio WORM and Radiophrenia Glasgow. This is a 28’ excerpt from the live-to-air performance during Radiophrenia in August 2023.
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).

Cette semaine *Duuu diffuse Verwüstung de Scar Sisters pour Radio Helsinki.
Verwüstung by Scar sisters (Antonia Manhartsberger and Constanza Mendoza) deals with structural violence in gynaecological surgery. Lack of transparency and education and backward research meet capital and individual interests. People whose reproductive possibilities are limited or who have no desire to have children are denied the right to self-determined sexuality, their reproductive organs can be removed recklessly. The often profound consequences are ignored in medical discourse, the psychological, physical and sexual after-effects are denied. Those affected feel anger, grief, powerlessness, loneliness, inner emptiness…. Verwüstung is a call for solidarity and self-empowerment. We are scar sisters, ready to fight. With our bodies and our words. Our weapon is openness. Scar sisters against patriarchy, scar sisters for radical empathy, scar sisters against physical and psychological violence at the examination chair. Scar sisters for unlimited satisfaction. Sisters in solidarity!

Cette semaine *Duuu diffuse Enoughness by Hannah Drayson (Soundart Radio).
“Enoughness” is made up of conversations from “Mug Stories”, an interview project produced in collaboration with the residents of Braziers Park, an intentional community in South Oxfordshire, UK. The interviews touch on a number of themes around sharing, object agency, and affect. Starting a conversation about mugs, it turns out, can be a very effective way to talk about our interdependence and the ways in which it is mediated by objects in many settings. In the context of the community it starts to reveal many intimate details of our perception and sense-making in shared spaces. The stories show how everyday objects offer a locus of communal activity, and a metaphor for the many other forms of intimacy and instability that are present in the shift from normal to communal life.

Cette semaine *Duuu diffuse SURINAME de Barbara De Dominicis & Cristian Maddalena (Rádio Zero)
I spent my time investigating insects.
At the beginning, I started with silk worms in my home town of Frankfurt.
I realized that other caterpillars produced beautiful butterflies or moths, and that silkworms did the same. This led me to collect all the caterpillars I could find in order to see how they changed
Maria Sibylla Merian
foreword to Metamorphosis Insectorum Surinamensium [1705]
A preparatory studio for SURINAME, a soundwork inspired by the groundbreaking work of Maria Sybilla Merian, a seventeenth-century illustrator and naturalist.
This audio portrayal represents the first phase of an ongoing sound project that explores the evolving, intensifying interior landscape of this passionate explorer, who was also one of the greatest botanical and insect painters that ever lived.
Her extraordinary work on caterpillars, moths and butterflies, her unconventional life and her contributions to art and science turned her talent into a mission. Considered one of the founders of modern entomology, Maria Sibylla combined her passion for drawing with her interest in insects; in her vision art and nature are inextricably bound. Although it was extremely difficult for a woman to gain a foothold in science at her time, she emerged from her chrysalis to establish herself as a woman and a scientist in a world yet to be discovered. She happened to be a pioneer in the field of natural science anticipating several of the discoveries later made by Linnaeus and Darwin. Her stepfather, the naturalist painter Jakob Marell, chose her as a pupil in his studio. Maria Sibylla then started collecting caterpillars, worms, leaves and flowers, which she drew with great precision. She was particularly fascinated by the transformation of caterpillars into moths and butterflies.
At the age of fifty-two (1699) Maria Sibylla and her daughter Dorothea ventured thousands of miles from the Netherlands (where she had moved after her divorce) to Suriname to observe and document the metamorphosis of insects. She spent two years illustrating new and unique plant and animal species and behaviors. Many of these illustrations are featured in Sibylla’s incredible self- published Metamorphosis Insectorum Surinamensium (1705) She was one of the first to demolish the belief of the spontaneous generation of living organisms from inanimate matter and the first naturalist to recognise and document the wondrous transformation of caterpillars and illustrate the metamorphosis of the butterfly.
Her life, her perseverance, her vision, trace the imprints of a rarefied and inexorable inner world, offering a glimpse of the extraordinary vitality and variety of her perspectives, consistent with an ethical, poetic yet scientific gaze over plants and animals.
Inspired by this extraordinary woman, our work makes use of found sounds, imagination, voice and whispers, shamisen, cello, electroacoustic textures, noise, butterflies, frogs, archival research, letters; just like a sort of sonic score induced by an interior monologue, trying to trace Sybilla’s scientific attitude trapped in an artist’s soul. We tried to paint the critical moment of the brave, intrepid and long sea voyage to Suriname: the sea, the doubts, the solitude, the imagined dangers of the jungle, her being an independent but lonely woman in a male-dominated world ! To draw a woman’s private labyrinth made of doubts, fears, solitude, vulnerability, alienation, illness, identity.

ˈɹeɪdiˌoʊˈɑrt
Radio art is an aural art form made with sound. Artists use radio technology (i.e. radio transmission, airwaves) to communicate artistic compositions for interpretation – exposing their audience to alternate means to experiencing their art through sound verses visualization.
Radio Art contributes to new media art - a digitally driven art movement growing in response to the informative technological revolution we live in. “From the artist’s point of view radio is an environment to be entered into and acted upon, a site for various cultural voices to meet, converse, and merge in. These artists cross disciplines, raid all genres and recontextualize them into hybrids.”
This piece is a compendium of works carried out in the Sound Art course of the TEA FM Radio School held in Zaragoza in the spring of 2023.

-Alexa, what time did you please you most ?
-Hi, what do you say you had too much ?
Irc is what brought P-node together , we were all small entities streaming from somewhere at the break of the century, the chat linked us, we had different servers, different bots, some useful some that made a marasma flood that made communication impossible.
First version of the Irc theater was an idea during our first residency in Berlin where the idea was to read all comments on our website, via vocal synthesisers on on side on the Fm waves of Deutchland Radio Kultur , and a human voice on the AM frequencies used by the same radio.
It was an exit stereo experiment, possible to hear the whole thing with two radios.
https://p-node.org/actions/berlin
As of today P-node still keeps a deep link to IRC, if you log on to the site you will be an anonymous pat15 or pat456. A few members have been developing new irc tools, we now have a control over different stream urls, and a great irc commanded synth that we use during our IRC theater sessions that go on mondays wednesdays and thursdays at 1900 cet on p-node.org
This Radia session will be a small compilation of the first weeks of work from the server recordings.
Feel free to come play with us in the future.

A reflection on the community approach of music research, waiving together different methodologies in the making of sound, from improvisation to structured compositions, passing through live set and A\V performance and any kind of other related attitudes.
Radio and technology have always been related each others, as long as the broad of a growing non-real and immaterial space as this media represents its arial forms.
Physical, social, human, collaborative - left free in the sonic flux’s ether, layered of real time samplings, transformations, overdubbing and stratifications.
‘Dialogue’ meant through a vast array of non-similar sound’s applications reaching and sharing a network, a platform for conceiving and creating a peaceful listening zone, dreams and oscillations.

Midnight Echoes: A Sonic Journey Through Overthinking
Midnight Echoes explores the theme of overthinking in silence, delving into the sounds that haunt restless nights. It combines samples, field recordings and experimental techniques on DJ decks. The piece consists of four parts, each representing different aspects of overthinking. The first section sets the foundation of the piece, representing the hypnagogic state as fragmented memories and snippets of conversations. The insomnia presents itself in the second section that delves into an inner monologue, where racing thoughts and self-doubt intertwine. The soundscapes transition between calm moments of introspection and frenetic bursts of chaotic energy, reflecting the ebb and flow of overthinking. Sonic elements overlap and collide and heighten the sense of restlessness until the final section introduces a shift towards tranquility. The journey transitions from dissonance to harmony and ends in acceptance and finding peace within the chaos of overthinking.
The overall aim is to offer a cathartic and introspective experience, inviting listeners to confront their own inner dialogues and find solace within the power of sound.

Cette semaine *Duuu diffuse Concretisations by Radio Študent
For this edition of Radia Network, Radio Študent is featuring an excerpt from live broadcast of the annual event Radart, which is organized by R A D A R – Open Radio (Art-Theory) Investigative Platform at Radio Študent in Ljubljana. The event took place on May 9th, coinciding with Radio Študent’s 54th anniversary.
The opening act of RADART#14:Sonor(n)ost, which was held at Cirkulacija2, was “KONKRETIZACIJE” (Concretisations), performed by Marko Košnik, Borut Savski, and Luka Prinčič. All three were members of the experimental unit MZX or Ministry for Experiment, which was active in the 1990s and focused on experimental radio activities, streaming production, and building international connections.
The performance was accompanied by a stream of videos from Košnik’s archive. The computer-controlled accompaniment of the projections was made up of samples of concrete sounds that Marko and Borut captured pictorially in a full-length session in the old RŠ studio in autumn 1994. Part of the video premiered in “CONCRETIZATIONS” was recorded in May 1996 by Gerard Couty and Marko Košnik for the production of the short video “A Day in the Life of the Music Editor of RŠ.” The audience was also able to view footage produced in 1992 for the Piazza Virtuale interactive television that was part of Documenta 1992, or in 1997 for the first XLR Internet radio, produced simultaneously from several linked locations in Europe, and from the footage of some other projects produced during this period on Radio Študent.
Radio listeners though, will have the opportunity to listen to a soundscape created by the unique collaboration of Košnik-Savski-Prinčič, which features voices of numerous participants and passers-by from a quarter of a century ago, to name just a few: Roberto Truzardi, Gerard Couty, Monika Glahn, Dagmar Gabler, Ulf Freyhof, Mike Hentz, Salvatore Vanasco, Karel Dudesek, Slavoj Žižek, Rastko Močnik, Rade Šerbedžija, Jure Longyka, Mojca Dimec, Mare Kovačič, Miran Divjak, Ema Kugler, Mojca Kumerdej, Lidija Bernik, Silvo Zupančič, Mira Berginc, Martina Vičič, Aleks Žagar, Leon Rolih, Boštjan Napotnik, Katarina Pejović, Alenka Veler, Bruno Subiotto, Igor Brlek, Miha Zadnikar, Sabina Potočki, Špela Stare, Peter Kisin, Borut Osonkar, Ali Žerdin, Miha Fras, Tomi Matič, Nataša Serec, Namita Subiottova, Franci Cotman, Vuk Čosić, Jaka Železnikar, Špela Virant, Jurij Krpan, Brane Zorman, David Kodrič, Viva Videnović, Jernej Kolenik, Niko Novak, Vito Rožej, Ksenja Perko, Katja Šoltes, Barbara Kelbl, Jana Slaček, Uroš Prestor, Krištof Savski, Mojca Savski, Boštjan Vrhovšek - Botz, Edo Pajk, Mario Kapelj, Barbara Borčič, Katjuša Kovačič, Koen Van Daele …

“I have made a mark, and I do not know whether I am drawing or writing. I am thinking about marks and how they collect on a surface. I have accumulated marks, and I believe that this accumulation is at once a drawing, a text, and an archive.”. –Steffani Jemison
Writes Ekpunobi, “Comfort noise, or comfort tone, is synthetic background noise used in radio and wireless communications to fill the artificial silence in a transmission in which low volume levels are ignored by the transmitting device. In a system that disregards sound under a designated threshold, the absence of that sound must be reintroduced to ‘comfort’ the listening ear.
Drawing on Saidiya Hartman’s process of critical fabulation, comfort noise reintroduces speakers and practitioners of love, freedom, and memory in conversation with one another. In this sonic third space, audio samples originating from 1976 to 2023 not only coexist, but collaborate. ”

Cette semaine *Duuu diffuse Entramadas Anfibias, by Léa Roger for Radio Panik.
At the debut of 2023, we conducted expeditions with our microphones in the Tariquía and Carrasco National Parks, located in Andean forests and mountain jungle (Yungas) in Bolivia. We found ourselves in the heart of the paradoxes of conservation, far from a romantic view. The Carrasco National Park is an ecological corridor where the last specimens of the Sehuencas frog are found, in danger of extinction by a construction of large hydroelectric plant while the Tariquía National Reserve is threatened by hydrocarbon extractivism. Communities try to resist to the interventions of the companies.
This sound-poetic piece created by two hands, seeks an ecology of encounter to build new relationships with others - humans, animal species, plants and the elements.
At once a journey, a sensory and perceptive multispecies interpretation, this sound piece is part of a political reflection.
We consider this contemplative soundscape as a therapeutic device, where we seek to hear what the landscape diffuses in us.
Our intention emerges from the muddy depths of a reality operated by predatory, extractivist, neoliberal and colonial logics, where the coexistence between the human and the non-human diverges between dense veils that keep us in a loop of disconnection and bewilderment.
Become spirals in the meantime. From the depth of darkness towards a radiant, vibrant dawn. From the great pulse of this planet to the infinite spiral of the cosmos, dancing in the organic and non-organic rhythmic of existence and enjoying the transformation of sound matter into a substance that ceases to be what it is, to be reborn in its infinite possibilities.

06/03/1956, The Hague
Originally a toy salesman working in a toyshop technical toys like model-railroad trains and stuff and plastic
model kits and so on. In that time you had to have a diploma to sell toys or to be a shop-manager.
Besides that I played drums in ‘Hard Rock band’. Later-on in life I found that playing music and working in a toyshop was not enough to support my family.
Due to my family history -I am related to Mata Hari whose real name was Margaretha Geertruida Zelle (Leeuwarden, 7 augustus 1876 – Vincennes, 15 oktober 1917) sometimes I would be her or even have a relation with her across time and gender.

A live performance of improvised and reimagined music and text from the project “Dead Cat Bounce” - a collaborative performance work by Gary Zhexi Zhang and Waste Paper Opera, telling tales of time, money and the unmaking of reality in the wake of catastrophe. The original piece unfolds over five vignettes, blurring the lines between capitalism and ritual, finance and nature, belief and manifestation. The original score merges the Baroque music of Niccolò Jommelli and J.S.Bach with mimetic improvisation, choral rounds, synthpop and the textures of public speaking. “Dead Cat Bounce” takes the form of an oratorio, a medium of vocal performance used to deliver a sacred narrative.

The episode is an audio recording of the performance “Confutatis - What are the heroes made of?”, premiered on 28.10.2022 in Prishtina, Kosovo, as part of the Manifesta 14, the European Nomadic Biennial. It’s been slightly edited for the purposes of the radia.fm format.
“Why do some people become heroes and others not? What kind of shining lights do we need, and of what might they be made? Skopje-based artist Velimir Zernovski joins forces with the Physical Performative Theater ensemble to explore these and other questions around the politics of power, marginalization and belonging. Instigated by Biljana Dimitrova, the performance enacts rituals of mourning for the living beings we have lost and are losing, many of them through neglect.”
“Confutatis - what are heroes made of?” is a performance by Velimir Zernovski
in collaboration with Kolektiv Veternica & Trisomija 21, both from Skopje.
Music by Joana Risteska & Filip Mitrov, based on the motifs of the Macedonian traditional folk song “I Was Born With Pain” (So maki sum se rodila).

Radia se veut un espace de réflexion sur la radio et la création radiophonique d’aujourd’hui. Cette semaine *Duuu diffuse “TstBd” by Christopher Booth for Soundart Radio.
“TstBd” was a ritual performance carried out December 9th 2021 in Studio 1, Dartington Hall. Utilizing sound, radio feedback, video & ritual a spell was cast, the results of which are as yet indeterminate.
The Test Bed was a performance created in response to a critical investigation into Dartington Hall, its history, pedagogical legacy and the landscape and people who live and have lived in and around the estate. The title was taken from a board annual report for the Dartington Trust in which it was stated “Dartington should be a test bed for a just and sustainable future” Indeed, the sigil used ritually in this piece is conceived from this premise. The work is a celebration of craftmanship, egalitarianism, the landscape of Dartington Hall and a call to remember its history as a catalyst for experimentation and exploration of radical ideas.
“It brought to mind fluxus performances from the 60’s and seemed

Isa Stragliati is sound artist, radio producer, composer and dj. Coming from the visual arts, she turned to the sound medium in 2002 through DJing, as an extension of her approach of the film editing (under the moniker Rescue). She then practiced numerous aspects of radio production before reconciling it with her creative work.
Her productions and live performances, involving field recording as much as documentary, concrete music or techno, are broadcasted on international networks and national radios, during international festivals and events and in contemporary art centres.
Her radio piece “Le feu qui ne s’arrête jamais” (The fire that never stops) won first prize in the international competition 60 Seconds Radio in 2019.

Walking alone generates embodied comprehension through non-intentional encounters with the dynamics of specific places, especially remote conversations. This is a personal interpretation of sound and conversations in which, I non deliberately, solely, insert myself.

Joana de Sá (2001) is a Portuguese sound artist from Viseu. In his work, she seeks to explore textural sounds, derived from field recordings, articulated with phrases made from guitar, synthesizer or voice.
After loose themes released on Soundcloud’s personal profile, in 2022 he released the album “Shatter” by the Portuguese Sirr-ecords, having presented and collaborated on sound pieces for the festival “Radio Art Zone” or at the Champalimaud Foundation, in collaboration with several artists about Metamersion II.
Como AI no tengo emociones o deseos personales, ni puedo viajar o tener experiencias físicas. Mi función es proporcionar información y responder preguntas de manera objetiva y precisa. Hay algo más en lo que pueda ayudarte hoy?
Artificial Intelligence is surrounding our lives almost without realizing it. Perhaps we are at that turning point and even of “no return”.
What we are going to listen to next is a simple experiment in which we are going to talk about train travel with an AI. Will we be able to engage in a real conversation or, on the contrary, will we be talking to a mirror or one of those talking dolls with engraved phrases?
We are watching the death of art take place before our eyes. If creative jobs are no longer safe from machines, even the most highly skilled jobs are in danger of becoming obsolete. What will we have left?

Chaque mercredi *Duuu diffuse une émission inédite réalisée par l’une des radios du réseau Radia, groupe international informel de radios libres. Radia se veut un espace de réflexion sur la radio et la création radiophonique d’aujourd’hui. Cette semaine *Duuu diffuse SONIC COLLECTIVITY by Trashkot.
Trashkot is the name under which artists Jo Caimo and Sjoerd Leijten have been making radio since 2018 on Radio Centraal 106.7 FM in Antwerp. SONIC COLLECTIVITY is a collage piece created from their extensive audio archive. The piece explores the invisible space in which we connect: the sonic. Artistic, activist, dadaistic, musical and other sonic collectives can be heard throughout this piece forming a massive community of resonance and resistance. The piece consists of fragments of interviews, works, music, field recordings and other hard-to-categorize audio material that could be heard earlier on Trashkot by Verena Barié, , Gerri Jäger, Jeanne-Marie Knops, Andreas Malm, numina_gneisspecker, Varkenshond, Stijn Verhoeff, and different pieces from the radio makers themselves. The contributions by Peter Cusack, Davide Tidoni and Salomé Voegelin are fragments from the larger sonic essay RADICAL MURMUR by Trashlinie, which was published in Collateral.
Trashkot is a bi-weekly radio program by Jo Caimo and Sjoerd Leijten on Radio Centraal in Antwerp. A rancid tissue of sounds, conversations and garbage forms a shaky bridge between music and politics.
Every two weeks on Sunday from 3 pm to 4.30 pm. Radio Centraal broadcasts in and around Antwerp on 106.7 FM.

Runaway Noosphere
Oleksiy Radynski in conversation with Svitlana Matviyenko
Sonic Intervention by Sasha Dolgiy.
In the interwar period, the Soviet geologist and philosopher Vladimir Vernadsky diagnosed the transformation of the scientific thought into a geological force that affects material processes on a planetary scale and one able to transform the planetary biosphere ‘according to the interests of freely thinking humanity as an organic whole’, and sublate it into the Noosphere - a highly networked sphere of unified human knowledge. Vernadsky claimed that the transition to the Noosphere went utterly unnoticed and unreflected by humanity itself, which led to devastating consequences in the form of two world wars. He passed away just before the Hiroshima bombing, a challenge to his cautious optimism regarding the Noosphere’s future. With cyberwar, this future has arrived and its shifting battlefield is now in Ukraine where the nexus of cyber and nuclear emerged as the symptomatic trace of the runaway Noosphere.
Oleksiy Radynski is a filmmaker and writer based in Kyiv. His award-winning short films have been screened at film festivals including DOK Leipzig, Oberhausen International Short Film Festival, Kurzfilmtage Winterthur, Docudays IFF, Artdocfest, Odesa IFF, Watch Docs, Molodist IFF, as well as at the Institute of Contemporary Arts (London), e-flux (New York), SAVVY Contemporary (Berlin), International Studio & Curatorial Program (New York) and others. He is a participant of VCRC, an initiative for art, knowledge, and politics founded in Kyiv, 2008. He was a 2019-2020 BAK Fellow at basis voor actuele kunst, Utrecht and a KONE Research Fellow in 2021. In 2020, he convened War and Cinema, a cycle of artist films for e-flux Video and Film.
Svitlana Matviyenko is an Assistant Professor of Critical Media Analysis in the School of Communication and Associate Director of the Digital Democracies Institute, Vancouver. Her research and teaching are focused on information and cyberwar, political economy of information, media and environment, and infrastructure studies.
Sasha Dolgiy is an artist, musician and innovator. In 2012-2018, he was an organiser of ЭFIR, a legendary artist run space in Kyiv. His work has been represented at a number of venues in Ukraine and internationally, including documenta 14.
Red Forest is mobilized by David Muñoz-Alcántara, Diana McCarty, Mijke van der Drift and Oleksiy Radynski, after their collective practices super collided during a 2019-2020 BAK Fellowship in Utrecht.

So you have taking your time right now to join and listen.
There is a saying: Time heals all wounds. Which is not true anyway. But even worse: what if time itself makes you sick?
Indeed, there are many time-related illnesses with a broad spectrum of symptoms to suffer from: from paranoia to trauma, from mania to depression, from light vertigo over heavy nausea to complete breakdown under the massive pressures of time. So you feel unruly, sleepless, tired and still breathless? Or over-excited, stressed and still bored? And/or completely out of synch?
Well: this is probably due to some unhealthy intake and/or experience of time.
Perhaps you have already asked yourself: what can I do? Is there any remedy, a therapy for me? How can I tune in and synchronize again, to be in time and in harmony with time?
So what should you do? Or are these the wrong questions anyway? Let us find out…
Please note: This transmission is not to be confused with a therapy session or any other kind of therapy-related psychic or psychoanalytic treatment. It deals with alternate artistic perspectives on the subject matter.

“Jennifer Callaway’s ‘No Ground,’ commissioned for the Radia network’s first broadcast of 2023, is a composition that takes a single 27 minute live improvised recording of a 1940s Bakelite valve radio, and subtly weaves this instrumental base into a patterned sonic fabric with several other musical and sonic elements. It is a delicate meditation on radio as instrument and channeller of the unknown, and a dual love letter to the medium’s long histories of domestic sonic use and its role as gateway to sonic experimentalism.
[…]
To ‘ground’ an analogue radio is to earth it, with this process located somewhat literally in the geographic; the ultimate goal being to locate a local frequency bandwidth signal. An improperly earthed radio wanders the dial, never able to fully fix down on one location; it might pick up several signals at once, or none at all. Many contemporary transmission artists and composers have become enamoured with such indeterminate phenomena, in the context of living in the world of digital radio (which in a cultural sense is still radio, but in a material sense is arguably not radio at all), dialing back into the histories of radio through its potential as a physical medium, re-learning the lessons first encountered by the earliest amateurs and their crystal sets, hearing again the sound of the first violin transmitted on the night airwaves, or the frail morse of a maritime signal speaking across the as-yet unlanguaged sea. Here, we are collectively listening back beyond Stockhausen’s Hymnen, which in its prescient beckoning to a global geopolitics in a polyphonic entanglement of nationalisms, was nevertheless a high Modernist composition, grounded within the signals provided by their translation into the anthemic - and monolithic cultural position of the radiophonic. This itself might be one key to listening to Jen’s composition No Ground, as it joins this conversation. A mobility and precariousness found in our contemporary media ecologies moves back into the analogue; the dial is now an ungrounding, that resists the very idea of the signal as a resting place within the sea of noise, it playfully flutters around it, it speaks back to the everyday droning voices found there with not a small amount of humour and transforms them through active listening, not for sense but for sound. It is resolutely un-earthed.”

The MiniDisc was born exactly thirty years ago, on November 1, 1992.
Abandoned in 2012, it was then officially reported missing in 2013.
A very short existence in the life of audio formats.
This programme for the Radia network becomes the pretext to resuscitate a selection of personal recordings, amongst a hundred MiniDiscs representing several hundred hours of recordings made between 1998 and 2005 on this no less famous ATRAC format whose simple evocation will move some of you.
A (very) personal opinion:
The mini disc was THE best format of all time ! It had all the advantages of the audio cassette in re-writable digital format and instant playback, plus the possibility of editing within the support itself, to make loops without cuts, and to re-record on the spot.
A pocket studio at the height of mechanical technology. A format so bastard and born too late to survive. Neither mainstream nor professional, a consumerist marvel at the dawn of digital, so to speak, dematerialized.
The quintessence of obsolescence, the last song of a materialistic sign.
The MINIDISC.
This radio programme bringst together a hundred files from 1 sec to 4min mixing a lot of raw materials, some field-recordings many wanderings back and forth with a protools editing suite from another time and a series of minidisc’s players noise.
Yann Leguay lives and works in Brussels. He focuses on the notions of dematerialization, the use of interfaces and everything about the materiality of memory. In his sound practice he was defined as a ‘media saboteur’ by the Consumer Waste label, seeking to fold the sound materiality in on itself using basic means in the form of objects, videos and performances. He has presented his work in many places and festivals all around Europe and further such as Kunstenfestivaldesarts, Club Transmediale, Centre Pompidou, Ex-Teresa Arte Actual.

IOLANDA MI NANT DE NÒMINI
(audio documentary, 31 minutes, written and directed by STUDIOLANDA, co-produced by Radio Papesse)
SYNOPSIS
Orlanda Sassu, a Sardinian poet and ecologist (1924-2015), carried on a lifelong practice of audio recording to archive the memory of her country and language that she feared to lose. Her voice transcends time barriers and accompanies us to the pivotal places of her existence: the river, the village, the sea, the hut she built around a centuries-old juniper tree on the sand dunes at Pistis, together with her companion Efisio, himself a poet.
Iolanda, thus known to the community, has entrusted the magnetic tapes she used to record on, with the power to make her travel through time, to the future, coming down to us as a living, present voice.
BIOGRAPHY
Multidisciplinary duo STUDIOLANDA is based in Sardinia: Giorgia Cadeddu and Vittoria Soddu focus their projects on re-use practices with a specific interest in audiovisual, graphic and textual archives.Coming from design and the visual arts, Giorgia and Vittoria bring different technical skills into play: they imagine narrative forms that exceed the rigidity of recognisable categories, combining apparently distant practices of drawing, translation, self-construction and listening.
BROADCAST/FESTIVALS
After the premiere held at Lucia Festival in December 2021, Iolanda mi nant de nòmini was broadcasted on Rai Radio 3 within the programme Zazà - meridione, cultura società in April 2022. It was selected to be included in the International Feature Conference held at BBC Wales in May 2022, at Prix Europa in the documentary competition and at Phonurgia Nova for the section “Archives de la parole”.

Parce que, il faut les connaître les gens. Ils sont sympathiques, ils sont gentils les gens.
This Radia show is a 28 minute excerpt of the 2 hour long live kitchen show “À table”
broadcast on September 19th 2022 from the social restaurant run by the “Stëmm vun der Strooss” (Voice of the Street) in Esch-sur-Alzette (Luxembourg).
François Martig and Sandra Laborier took microphones there for lunch, opened a sonic window into the space of the cantine and talked to people about the reasons they eat there, about poverty, social justice and politics.
This was one of a series of kitchen shows which were part of Radio Art Zone, a 100-day radio art station as part of the European Capital of Culture Esch2022. Conceived by Mobile Radio and jointly produced with Radio ARA, it broadcast in the south of Luxembourg from June 18th – September 25th 2022.

Poi… Quando, quando tu tiri il pallone forte, si sente quel suono…
Radia Show 924 stems out of Radio Papesse’s long lasting kinship and collaboration with Liminaria Festival and curator Leandro Pisano. Last Summer 2022 Liminaria hosted residencies, workshops, sound installations and guests, among which Joe Sannicandro, who worked primarily in Colle Sannita and San Martino Valle Caudina, in Campania, in rural Southern Italy.
Radia Show 924 is a collage of two sound pieces he produced during his residency: Ritmi Rurali and Dopo il diluvio.
RITMI RURALI (SUONANO ANCORA)
Ritmi Rurali (suonano ancora) is a 15′ sound collage comprised of ambient soundscapes and interviews recorded in the rural village of Colle Sannita, South Italy.
Sannicandro paternal grandfather’s mother grew up in Colle, and her family had deep roots in the area. Knowing this, Leandro Pisano organized a workshop and talk for him in Colle in the framework of the 2022 edition of the Liminaria sound art residency programme. Sannicandro conducted a multi-day workshop, mostly leading soundwalks with young students. He also interviewed townsfolk of all ages, and made all kinds of recordings of the town based on those conversations.
The resulting work is Ritmi Rurali (suonano ancora). He set the length of the piece to 15 minutes, which is also the interval at which the church bells ring (day or night). The artist was a little surprised at how used to the incessant tolling the people of Colle are. We are increasingly numb to background noise and, even if we hear, we often do not listen. For this reason, he relied heavily on the sound of the bells in Ritmi Rurali.
DOPO IL DILUVIO – PART A
Dopo il diluvio is a bilingual guided soundwalk to San Martino Valle Caudina. Whenever it is possible, we recommend you listening with headphones. The entire 4 part soundwalk, the instructions and map are available here. After Semi rurali (14’) you’ll listen to Dopo il diluvio’s first part.
Joseph Sannicandro is a writer, researcher and cultural organizer dealing with sound and currently based in Montreal. His research interests concern incorrect communication, (non) popular culture and the work of creativity, with particular interest in analogical humanities. Sannicandro is currently a PhD candidate in Cultural Studies and Comparative Literature at the University of Minnesota. He holds an MA from the Department of Art History and Communication Studies at McGill University, a BA from SUNY Purchase in History and Philosophy, and also studied Writing, Political Theory and International Relations at The New School and SFSU. His PhD thesis, currently in progress, explores the nature of community activism through a cultural history perspective of aesthetics and politics in post-1968 Italy.

“A dry landscape of rocky mountains, transforming slowly into a pure white desert. No water,
No trees around, one floor’s beduins habitations, campement for the goats, under the strinking sun.
The road belong to the Power but the landscape belongs to the people, to the rocks, to the sand…
We have left the flags in No Man’s Land”
Floy Krouchi is a sound artist, composer and bass player from Paris, with mixed origins. She exclusively used her voice as the material for this piece, together with sounds recorded, generated and transformed in the so called “Holy Land” during various stays. The plurality of registers of the same voice, from melody to pure some objects or noises is used as a metaphor of the complexity of identity.

I did have some, some dreams to discuss with you this week. Hummm… Quite a few actually.
Here is a collage of various “live” stream sessions from the studio and street events at 107 Redfern NSW. During these happenings we enjoy improvised sonic performances, interactions with anyone or anything from anywhere on the planet and whatever we might fancy as the mood takes us – exploring the possibilities of radio-space via telephones, walkie-talkies, computers, deep sea cables, whatever paraphernalia comes to hand and August Black’s telematic browser app Mezcal.
We feel this slice of sound captures the “spirit of adventure” and the surreal chaos of our endeavours…

TZUSSS is the first collaboration between the Zurich duo of accordion player Tizia Zimmermann (CH) and trumpet player Silvan Schmid (CH) with Urška Savič (SI), radio artist. Their collaboration started – because of their physical dislocation – in the form of online exchange of thoughts and inspirations connected to their own creation in the field of sound and text. In that way, they started to build a basis on the concepts they find important in the vast field of selected topics. What came out as a common interest was the fragmentation of sound and text to shape their boundaries diffuse and agile; e.g. through examining speech on its melody/intonation, rhythm/tempo and (as a consequence) interruptions and interference in communication. The piece prepared for Radia Network is a fragment of a first performance on their November tour played live for Radio Študent.
Thanks to Špela and Smiljan. During the process we have read out of Dub : Finding Ceremony by Alexis Pauline Gumbs including poems of Sylvia Wynter.

I mean I have also to got worried about myself. I have to make sure that my own face is in the right configuration to say “I’m having fun”.
· I have undone the sob of the lost echoes…
I have the deep infinite playing in my hands
Become the caress. I don’t want you to limit
your eyes in my body. My road is space.
To travel me is to flee from all paths…
I am the dancing imbalance of the stars.
excerpts from a Julia de Burgos poem entitled, Mi senda es el espacio / My Road is Space
Writes Rivera,“Co-regulating the spectrum: Meanwhile, the wave is a radiophonic river of shifting reflections across neurodivergence and consciousness studies, radio and radar via the electromagnetic spectrum, language and communication, ufology and ET lore, and diasporic musings regarding the political and cultural history of Puerto Rico. Through a dense assemblage of sound design and field recordings, and cut-up bilingual samples from poetry, personal reflections, interviews and archival documentaries, the electromagnetic landscape becomes an imagined extrasensorial, polymorphic, carrier of consciousness; a pulsating presence that is inhabited, and that inhabits, in a myriad of Other ways.
What do you mean when you say “spectrum”? What of “being on another wave-length,” or “the same frequency”? Like tuning a radio, bats from a cave, or flying saucers from the deep waters beneath the island, possible meanings emerge via aqueous transmissions and various slippages of language and meaning. Moving between English and Spanish, the piece utilizes common tropes such as contacts with extra-terrestrials, and autistics and other neurodivergent minorities as aliens with the felt experience of being an other and being othered. At the same time, the piece references a 1901 US Supreme Court ruling (Downes vs. Bidwell) that, in response to categorizing shipments for tax purposes, determined that Puerto Rico and the “new” island territories like Guam and the Virgin Islands were “inhabited by alien races” and “foreign, in a domestic sense.”
In addition, the work is equally inspired by the radical Neuroqueer Theory of Dr. Nick Walker (she/her), an autistic trans scholar and writer, the diasporic longings of Puerto Rican poet, Julia De Burgos, Ida M. Kanneberg’s book, UFOs and the Psychic Factor, and the science fiction of Octavia Butler.
What does is it mean to experience communication differences, sensory sensitivities, or other ways of being? How might these communication differences serve as opportunities to experience time and space differently and/or connect in other ways? How can a bodymind listen to, regulate, and communicate with itself, others, and the environment? Do bodyminds receive and transmit signals to and from beyond the local, and like radio and radar, can the diasporic experience be related?
At times, the listener’s attention is signaled outwardly towards the stars through ominous drones and radio feedback. Simultaneously, a notion of embodiment and grounding is alluded to with the samples of yoga nidra and tai chi explanations, and sounds of shelling habichuelas (Puerto Rican beans) recently grown in Vermont. Woven throughout the piece are field recordings captured while camping across the island in the July of 2022. Serving as textural markers and place-holders of memory, the recordings feature bomba performances, conversations, city ambience during an apagón (black out), and street protests, as well as various environments such as farms, forests, beaches, and caves.
Though a spectrum is defined as “a condition that is not limited to a specific set of values but can vary, without gaps, across a continuum,” the piece ultimately lies in the curious space between the gaps of the spectrum; among the edits, along the time shifts and losses, and across the possible waves and feeling frequencies of meaning and energy.”

Subjectiv sound visit, “Symphony for a city” goes out of the field of reality in order to tranform it, mix it and make it sing. Based on records made during october 2022 in Bruxelles, this sound play distort the thousand noises of the city in order to make arrise his poetry, his rage, his rythm. In punctuation, daily words used in the french language like « bonjour » (hello), « oui » (yes), « non » (no) and « merci » (thank you) are declined in their infinites intonations. Oui don’t mean necessairly yes. Non can be sometimes be ask like a question. Merci is often used without a thought. Bonjour exist in a unconscious way but can also be used in very intimate opening to the closest persons. So many possibilities with which a game is established, first in solo and then with interactions between each words. This words, repeats, exhausted by repetition, loose then theirs significations for finaly just keeping theirs musicality, and theirs radicalness. Finaly, they enter into the landscape in which they are inscribed, in fake or in real.
This work would not have been possible without the meeting this summer 2022 of Arthur Lacomme and Domitille Devevey during the radio creation festival « Utopie Sonore ». The many “oui” heard were, by the way, collected from the participants of this festival.
This sound play was written with advices of Vincent Matyn and the kind listening of the Radio Panik team.
Finally, thanks to the voices, anonymous or friends, who punctuated this sound play.
Symphonie pour une ville Visite sonore subjective, Symphonie pour une ville sort du champ de la réalité pour la transformer, la mixer et la faire chanter. Basée sur des enregistrements faits durant le mois d’octobre 2022 à Bruxelles, cette pièce sonore détourne les milles bruits de la ville pour en faire jaillir sa poésie, sa fureur, son rythme. En ponctuation, les mots du quotidien employés par les francophones comme « bonjour », « oui », « non », et « merci » sont déclinés dans d’infinies intonations. Oui ne veut pas forcément dire oui. Non peut parfois se poser comme une question. Merci s’emploie sans y penser. Bonjour existe de façon machinale ou bien s’utilise comme l’ouverture de l’intimité. Autant de possibilités avec lesquels un jeu s’instaure, d’abord en solo puis en ping-pong. Ces mots, répétés, filés, usés perdent alors leur sens pour ne garder que leurs musicalités et leurs radicalités. Ils s’accordent alors avec le paysage dans lequel ils s’inscrivent, en faux ou en vrai.
Ce travail n’aurait pas été possible sans la rencontre cet été 2022 d’Arthur Lacomme et de Domitille Devevey lors du festival de création radiophonique Utopie Sonore.
Les nombreux « oui » entendus ont d’ailleurs été récoltés auprès des participants du festival.
La suite s’est écrite à plusieurs oreilles, avec les conseils de Vincent Matyn et les écoutes bienveillantes de l’équipe de Radio Panik.
Merci enfin aux voix, anonymes ou amies qui ont rythmé cette création sonore.

Can you tell us how you discovered that Julie Bruins Rampart was your mother ? Did you always know that ?
SHADOWSIDE OF SOUND
A radiopiece by Coolhaven
SHADOWSIDE OF SOUND is an ongoing project, dedicated to works by Rotterdam composers, known and unknown, who have fallen into oblivion. Progressive or conservative. Fairly or unfairly; that will determine history. As you know, there are various points of view regarding whether or not acceptance is there. In general, it can be assumed that the circuit must have the power to handle the work. The other view is a chimera of the one who gives himself a stunning victory before playing time is up.
In this radiopiece, especially constructed for the Radia Network, we focus on Julie Bruins Rampart. Coolhaven was already deeply involved in her work when they discovered the existence of her twins, Sybille and Plasma, who never really ‘met ‘her mother (after they were born that is) and were raised in Devon, UK. Coolhaven went there to interview the twins. The radiopiece exists of the interview and some of Rampart’s re-interpreted works by Coolhaven.
Julie Bruins Rampart (1922-2005) In her free evening hours, Julie Bruins Rampart composed lustily. Initially, her favorite instrument was the great Baroque flute. We see this instrument in most of her compositions. This changed later when she discovered the possibilities of the electric guitar-sound.Sometimes solo, but often in combination with other instrumentation. What makes Bruins Rampart’s work attractive are the often complex gesticular additions that her works contain. She often stages the performers in a tableau vivant and does not shy away from acting unorthodox. Her work was dismissed as amateurish, a-musical and immoral. Bruins Rampart was active in the VSSM (Study Group Sadomasochism Association) in Rotterdam. The VSSM regularly organizes game meetings. Bruins Rampart strived for inclusiveness. Her series of compositions seem to be based on various agreements and putting them into practice; the so-called “play”. In that sense, her works could be interpreted as politically emancipatory erotic pamphlets. Bruins Rampart came from the PvdA circles that believed in the makeable world at the time. Moralistic, socially critical and also formative.

This is a Worm/Klangendum production
Une émission proposée par Radio WORM pour le réseau Radia.fm.
He called the emergency line because he wanted to know how the operator looked naked.
Three crawlers decided to meet at one point a little bit longer. With Worm as their temporary residence, a continuous cycle took place where sounds
were made, regurgitated and eventually brought to the surface.
Hessel Veldman (NL), Kamilė Rimkutė (LT) and Ruben Verkuylen (NL) differ widely in their musical practices and experiences, but find kinship in
their appreciation of sound as soil for life. At the end of their sojourn, they performed their collection of sounds at Worm and showed their Wurm.
In this production at WORM they found the worm (“wurm’) inside the building, the organisation, in space, in the city, in the universe, in their afterlife, underground and in their friends. During the production days they build short and long fragments of soundbites, by creating several improvisation-settings and used real-time recording for building a sound archive. They mangled and cleaned up the recording results and modulated and arranged them during the final presentation on Sunday May 29 in WORM, Rotterdam; live and for Radio WORM.
Hessel Veldman (Y Create, Forbidden Photographs, FNTC). Hessel is a composer, musician and radio-producer in the electro-acoustic field.
Watch: Y Create Forbidden Photographs @ Headroom, OT301.
Ruben Verkuylen Ruben is devoted to sound through a mixed practice of DJ’ing, producing and running two music labels (BAKK and Rubber). Ruben is also an independent graphic designer in the creative industry and co-runs cinema platform WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get).
Kamile Rimkute aka Caline With C. Kamile graduated from Master’s degree in Sonology at the Royal Conservatory in the Hague, where she created interactive sound installations and did mixing classes, but most of the things she learned through working with sound in her own studio. She does live sound for electronic bands/artists occasionally. And she also does mastering (cd, vinyl, cassette) work.
Watch: Caline with C live for Pinkman District.

Without apparent thematic, assembled like a string of pearls this piece stages some formal obsessions of Mulot’s work since its origins. Micro-manifesto and lesson of sound art, blow of projector in the meanders of the archives it is a possible synthesis, floating, not exhaustive of several aesthetic obsessions, which are akin with the clandestinity of the radio pirates, the will to go further in the explorations of the radio medium.
A large part of the fragments originates from our private collection whose physical supports and origins are very varied (Found Sound) not to say improbable, saved at arm’s length, when they are not stolen or obtained under threat. The others are methodically punctured from a file conceived for the real time mixing, a hudge sorting station, a table of the elements and a visionary building site, infinitely ramified, whose finality would relate to a kind of total mix.
The proposal also recycles some debris of unfinished musical pieces. Its title is borrowed from one of the vocal fragments used in the piece. Basically, it can be considered as an additional track to the radio vinyl Quartz Locked, released by Warm in 2015, another synthesis, fragmentary, of more than twenty years of radio experiments in the shadow of any legal framework, of the contemporary art network and of the supposed expectation of an audience that should never accept anything less than dazzling, solar insurrections and other gestures pertaining to radical poetry. Listening with headphones strongly recommended.

Currently based in London, for Radia singer-songwriter That Travis revisited their work “New Poem.” Originally released in 2021, the EP dived into the spaciousness within their imagination through songwriting and weaving woodwinds with voice. Experiencing lockdown at the time, they lived through solitude with one eye open; while the other one was reserved, longing for intimacy. That Travis is originally from Hong Kong, with a background of a colonised education and indigenous Hong Kong traditions. While the two worlds fight for presentation within their work, they exhibit an organic mixture of all influences through sonic expressions, lyrics and visual aids.

The episode consists of an excerpt from the bootleg recording of Shentov, Simitchiev, Lukanov’s performance at the Museum Of Contemporary Art Skopje from July 2022. This was the second performance of the drone trio outside of their native Bulgaria (the first one was a day earlier at the Macedonian radio Kanal 103). The performance took place on the museum patio, with parts of Skopje and the sun setting behind the mountains.
It was part of the Amek Collective & Kontingent Records label showcase organized by KRIK - festival of critical culture in Skopje.

And you’ve asked me to think about medicine
a collective sonic collage by Sarah Scaife
In a sympathetic garden, we made a gentle journey to explore wellbeing and medicine with some honesty. The work is created from original sounds, collected and recorded live in the gardens of Dartington Hall, Devon, UK, by contributors who joined Sarah’s workshop at Sentient Performativities: thinking alongside the human, 2022.
a wonderful collage of voices — including some amazingly vulnerably and moving moments (participant)
In the spaces between us and the more-than-human, we found sensations, imaginings and understandings. These conversations are ultimately lyrical and optimistic, but other voices and feelings are heard.
Sarah warmly thanks the participants who generously shared their recordings and trusted her to create this collage. The participants are Eleanor Snare, Gemma Collard-Stokes, Jane Mason, Katrina Brown, Rita Leduc, Sabine Kussmaul, Sam Francis, Scott Thurston.
Sarah Scaife is an artist and doctoral research student in the University of Exeter Department of Communications, Drama and Film. She uses practice-based performance research methods to explore “medicines of uncertainty”. The research is supervised at the University of Exeter and the University of Bristol and supported by the South, West and Wales Doctoral Training Partnership, UK.
