from 20 to 20000 hz refers to the frequency range of human hearing. Everything that can be heard in the world can also be remixed. This radio podcast was a special commission by Museo Reina Sofía Radio produced in 2011. This episode in the series was conceived in response to ‘Atlas: How to carry the world on one’s back?’ an exhibition on display in the Museum at the time curated by Georges Didi Hubermann which was based on Aby Warburg´s ‘Mnemosyne Atlas’. The broadcast unfolds as a journey, a temporal cartography based on phonographic records featuring uncommon and imperceptible listening points. The trip flows from the context of a tropical rainforest to the ocean, going deeper and deeper until it finally reaches a final geological stage. This is not about carrying the world, but rather about listening to it.

Pablo Sanz is an artist, composer, recordist and researcher currently based in the UK. His work is guided by interests in time, space, materiality and non-human otherness. Through a continuum of approaches, his practice explores the limits of human perception and attention, encouraging a sensory ecological awareness and a phenomenal experiential engagement with the world. Listening becomes a political act, intended to resist dominant tendencies in contemporary societies, cultivating alternative forms of being and thinking. His diverse body of works — site-determined and public projects, immersive multichannel installations and concerts, broadcasts, releases — have been experienced internationally in various contexts.

This work originated as an exercise in musical analysis, became an art installation soundscape and eventually found a home on BBC Radio 3’s Late Junction.

I took the two opening movements of the Passions according to St Matthew and St John by J.S. Bach, stretched them to roughly the square of their length and transposed them into relevant keys. Then I combined them. The result was utterly overwhelming. Two moving, but relatively straightforward, performances were transformed into a cathedral of sound.

Patrick Gardner’s career as a professional musician began when, as a child, he became a chorister at Durham Cathedral. There he began a lifelong love affair with the piano and discovered a deep urge to make his own music.
Later he studied composition with David Lumsdaine at Durham University.

Patrick works in a variety of styles from musicals and nativity plays for children to fully electronic classical works. Most recently he has won the Audience Vote Prize at the Britten Sinfonia’s OPUS 2018 workshop, with his folk-inspired piece “The Ballad of Sydney Sparrow”.

For the last five years I have taken a sample from every video I watch on my laptop. As a tip of the hat to William Burroughs and Robert Anton Wilson I take the sample from the 23rd minute. Each sample is arranged and layered chronologically, constructing an aleatory narrative, a random DJ mix of dialogue, music and foley, a self portrait of viewing habits and memory. VHS rips merge with Blu Ray restorations, youtube binges mingle with abandoned box sets.

Barry Burns is not the bloke out of Mogwai, its a different, unsuccessful one. He is the co-manager of Radiophrenia and has used his immense power to give himself the highly coveted 5am slot.

Non-Locations are a series of works intended to mirror or imitate “natural” environments, but are completely synthetic – somewhat familiar, but abstracted, or “not as it should be”. We hear the small clicking of insects, rustling, air ambience, etc. Through immersion into the synthetic environment while also recalling our own past sound experiences, including those of idealized environments such as we may encounter in films, we also create a new third territory in ourselves. These Non-Locations can serve as starting points for thinking about what we consider natural or artificial, desirable or not, or places to do nothing but listen.

Benjamin Nelson is an American artist and musician currently living in Vienna, Austria. His work tends to focus on reductionist/post-minimalist, site-specific and durational practices. Often invoking hypothetical objects or landscapes through slow moving or sometimes completely static sheets of sound, Nelson seeks to reveal the motion, detail, and textures that are present within sounds that may otherwise go unnoticed.

Eleanor Thom and Chris Dooks designed workshops with people from around the North Edinburgh and Wester Hailes and Craigroyston areas for Edinburgh book festival. Participats have shared their ideas, memories, passions and more, reflecting on belonging and what defines home to them. Hear some of their tales in audio made initially for a sound installation at North Edinburgh Arts, featuring some of these stories and field recordings.

In addition, the mix features unreleased work from Chris Dooks

1. Zachary Zena Giberson – Dripping Cops

Funereal in a Good Way is a 30-minute album of sound collages inspired by the brutal heat of a recent Texas summer, made worse by climate change. A dizzying, dense mix of off-kilter, wild instrumentation and alien field recordings, the music of Funereal is unpredictable, constantly melting into bizarre new forms. Think of this album as a brightly colored, sonic ice cream cone that melts the second you put your mouth to it.

Zachary Zena Giberson is a prolific 28 year old sound artist living in Austin, Texas. He has created over 26 albums worth of unusual, abstract music that he has taken to calling “coincidental music,” or music made out of unrelated parts. In 2018 alone, he created 3 albums, and took part in two collaborations, one with Filmy Ghost, and one with horridus as Martian Hello.

2. Lisa Hall – Untitled one

Made for a radio broadcast in 2013 at Lisbon Architecture Triennial, this work consists of 12 church bell recordings that capture the hourly chimes. The radio producer is instructed to schedule each recording to play at any point during the day, provided that it does not correspond to the time it tells, and that they are not played at regular intervals.

Lisa is a London based sound artist exploring urban environments using audio interventions and performative actions. Interrupting behaviour and questioning design, these works aim to make space for something new.

3. Céline Ottenburgh – Balance

A nine track-audio piece. The composition explores the balance between audio documentary, music and soundscape. Music by Céline Ottenburgh. Interviews with Liisa Näykki (Tightrope dancer), Claire Smith (Yoga teacher), Eric Schoentjes (Psychiatrist), Luc De Vos (Mathematician), Peter De Vilder (Acupuncturist) and Aimé De Grave (Accountant). Spoken word by Ella De Pauw.

Céline Ottenburgh studied music for several years before studying Radio at RITCS in Brussels. Currently she is the host of Filter, a radio show on XL Air, that focuses on experimental electronic music. The differences and similarities between music- and radio pieces play a central role in most of her work.

4. Galo Durán – Vietnam Reverb

This soundscape was created in 2017 , all sounds were recorded by Galo Durán in Ho Chi Minh city Vietnam .

Galo Durán is an independent musician, based in Mexico city. Since 2002 makes music for films projects.

2010-Artistic residence in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

2017- performances in Bangkok, Thailand,
and ho chi minh city, Vietnam
2018 – performances for second time in Tokyo and kioto , japan.

5. Ricardo Paraiso Silvestre – neighbourhood

When we talk about the noise level of a neighbourhood we imagine that the best outcome would be somewhere near silence. But is silence really what a neighbourhood needs? Silence
is not compatible with life and relationships,, that what makes up a neighbourhood. There must be conversations, sounds of animals, of people and machines doing their part to keep
the neighbourhood alive and healthy. The field recordings in this work are from the
Graça neighbourhood of Lisbon, Portugal.

Ricardo Paraíso Silvestre is a Portuguese sound artist with degrees in plant pathology, art and multimedia communication. He uses field recordings to build audio collages of possible soundscapes.

6. Vincent Eoppolo – Jeanne d’Arc

Inspired by the Me Too Movement, this work honors a great woman. 2 track fixed media acousmatic music composition realized in 2018. Created using various techniques and technologies such as analogue modular, FM and granular synthesis as well as field recordings. Recorded in my studio Eclisse.

My compositions are a synthesis of various sound art traditions such as musique concrete, acousmatic music, electro-acoustic music and radio art.

7. Martian Hello – Heatstroke at Panoply

Inflammatory Haircut is a bizarre, evolving world of an album by Martian Hello. Mutated electronic soundscapes are populated with manic, hallucinatory instrumentals that constantly shift and play against the sturdier backdrops. Most sounds are analog before being digitally manipulated. Conceived as a literally endless album, Inflammatory Haircut will technically never be finished and will only ever grow and mutate at random intervals in the coming years. Inflammatory Haircut is a growing world populated by truly alien forms.

Martian Hello are horridus oplopanax and Zachary Zena Giberson, and are in Oregon and Texas, respectfully. They collaborate over the internet and have fun making weird, impossible music together. Both horridus and Zachary make solo music, horridus’ devilsclub project can be found at https://soundcloud.com/devilsclub and Zachary’s lives at https://zacharyzenagiberson.bandcamp.com/. They haven’t met yet in real life, but it’d probably be very cool when they finally do.

8. Anna Wolfe Pauly – extreme slow song II

Anna Wolfe-Pauly, or ANNA, is a multidisciplinary artist from California. WARM ANNA is both experiences and exercises focused on expanding the listening register. With a super slo-mo sensibility, Anna leads workshops and gatherings internationally that focus on deep listening,
time-based aural practices, and exploratory group sound. The core of the sonic program here is a series of exercises, Warm Ups, that display Anna’s attention to voice, to language, to listening. Unyolked from a discrete musical practice, this humble voice music is not demanding, but it commands time to unfold. Traces of phrases buckle and echo and stretch and yawn into and out of one another. The “Extreme Slow Song(s)” are experiences from a group Anna coordinated that would gather and then sing a song as slowly as possible. Their footsteps flex boards in space, and add to the expansive listening habitat.

9. Sonic Bothy – Duo 3

Sonic Bothy Ensemble’s debut album, Fields features pieces recorded after a year of creating new work and performances. Tracks explore improvisation and experimental music and instruments, constantly moving into new territory.

Sonic Bothy is an inclusive new music ensemble, based in Glasgow, that explores, composes and performs experimental and contemporary music. The group is made up of musicians with additional support needs and experienced musicians who practice in Glasgow’s new music scene.

10. Antje Vowinkel – Toppling

This composition solely exists of the sounds of spinning tops. Different materials and sizes of the tops like wood, metal and plastic are combined with different grounds like kettledrum, steel sheet, felt create the variations in sound, volume and tempo.

Antje Vowinckel is a sound artist, radio artist and musician. She works for a variety of public radio stations and creates live performances and installations in public space. e.g. In places of Logic for text projections, organ and objects and Inside-out (Bucharest). Works have been presented on international festivals e.g. Issue-Project-Room, NYC, ZKM and others. Her focus is on the musicality of the spoken word in works based on automatic speaking or dialect compositions.

“OTHER VOICES: echoes from a war zone” will fuse pre-recorded and live information, comprising texts, music, interviews, ambient sound, and radio works, into a broadcast/webcast soundscape. The programme will blend existing radio work from the KUNSTRADIO archives, with new work responding to the situation in the Balkans.
KUNSTRADIO have succeeded in bringing radio artist, GORDAN PAUNOVIC, to Vienna, to produce a special live radio mix of the program. Gordan Paunovic has a long history of participation in KUNSTRADIO projects. Until recently he was engaged with renowned Belgrade broadcasting entity, Radio B92, as the Head of the Music Department. Since the advent of war, Radio B92 has been taken over by a new management team with very different intentions to the original B92 operation, which itself has been locked out of its former premises.

Artists featured in “OTHER VOICES: echoes from the war zone” include: Arsenije Jovanovic, Gordan Paunovic, Ivana Stefanovic, Aleksandar Vasiljevic and Robert Klajn, from Jugoslavia and Agnieszka Waligorska/Pekka Sirén,(Finland), Dimitriy Nikolaev (Russia), Brian Conley (U.S.A.), Bob Ostertag (U.S.A.) and many more.

New Young Peers Scotland- Sleep

New Young Peers Scotland are a group of young unaccompanied asylum seekers and refugees living in Glasgow.

With the support of their partners – Glasgow Clyde College, Ypeople, and Glasgow Social Work Department – this group has come together to create a peer-to-peer mentoring network, which supports other young people arriving alone in Glasgow, unable to speak the language.

The three pieces produced for Radiophrenia take inspiration from audio guides, aiming to give advice to newly arrived young people. These pieces also challenge the comfort and comprehension English speakers usually have, when listening to the radio in the UK – so, even if you don’t understand what’s being said, just focus on the sound of the voices.

During Sleep you heard:
David –from Democratic Republic of Congo – speaking in Kinyamulenge;
Ruwayda–from Somalia – speaking in Bajuni;
Mohamed –from Syria – speaking in Arabic ;
and Reza – from Iran – whose language is Farsi, but who spoke in English.

The group facilitators were Lyn Ma, and Lorraine Ward. The producer was Siobhain Ma, who’s a sound artist and one half of Sister Collective.

Transcripts, and English translations – will be available at radiophrenia.scot
Maria Fusco – Legend of the Necessary Dreamer 2: A Slurred Song

“a new classic of female philosophical writing” Chris Kraus

Legend of the Necessary Dreamer is an ambient novella, a multi-sensory essay, an excavation of the historic Palácio Pombal, a work of impatience and death.

Sofia Balbontin & Mathias Klenner – Aural Espacios Resonantes

Sofia Balbontín (Santiago, 1985) and Mathias Klenner (Santiago, 1986), both architects are currently lecturers and researchers for the architecture school UDLA and specially dedicated to sound art. They work together since 2014 focusing their research on sound and space experimentation with electroacustics means. They have created workshops, lectures, performances and installations in cross field of architecture and music.

This compositions shows the results of a research about acoustic places with long reverberation responses, oftenly derelict places that used to have an industrial or political purpose. The experiments inside this spaces use a sweep of frequencies to find the most resonating ones. The principal experiment to find those frequencies is based on the Alvin Lucier’s art piece “I am sitting in a room” recording the ambient sound and playing it out in the space, recording it again and again, until the predominant frequencies prevales. The pieces you are going to hear now are made inside the “Cooling Tower” and the “Coal Deposit Tank” of the abandoned IM Power Plant of Charleroi.

Phaune Radio -Tiny Tunes-, Metamorphoses: Oak Tree

Nothing on this earth is standing still. It’s either growing or it’s dying. No matter if it’s a tree or a human being. ― Lou Holtz

Throughout the seasons, our tiny seed, kept warm beneath the topsoil, starts growing its roots, before pointing the tip of its stem outside. Young shoot, true re-relaf, all bark and no bite, then old branch, our tree lives many still intensities over the years. Good things come in trees. Accelerated story of a vegetal life in perpetual motion. On this stage, everything is possible.Tiny Tunes From The Wilder World, may the forest be with you.

Phaune Radio is an ever-expanding world of homemade sound creations. Around here, we tickle your imagination. Around here, things that cannot be possibly taken seriously can still give food for thought. Around here, that’s up to your ears. Every month, it’s also a podcast that is produced for you and the curious waves of more than a dozen radios.

Chantal Francoeur – Lend Me your Ear

As journalists find themselves under siege and their multi-platform reality strains at the seams, PR tightens its hold over journalism. The citizen listener should be worried.

Chantal Francoeur is a journalist, researcher and sound artist. She conducts ethnographic studies in newsrooms and analyses journalistic discourse to better understand convergence and its impact on the news. She then turns her findings into soundscapes. The four pieces presented here capture the inner turmoil experienced by journalists as they navigate the challenges of a new multi-platform universe, the stresses of ever-accelerating rates of production, the intrusion of a steady stream of « ready-to-wear » PR content that is all-to-easy to incorporate into their copy, and the questions surrounding journalistic freedom that the current media landscape brings sharply into focus.

Hexagon Heart: a sound poem/musical story of Marjorie Van Halteren’s emigration to France in 1992 and what has become of her heart.

Marjorie Van Halteren, a long time American resident of France, is a three-time, Peabody Award winning radio producer, including for her 1982 personal poetry docudrama “Breakdown and Back,” and over a dozen original plays commissioned for WNYC’s The Radio Stage. It was her WDR commission “Roadtrip” that was shown at the Whitney in New York that eventually lead her to a life in sound art. She relocated to France and made pieces for BBC Radio 3’s Between the Ears, and directed her own play, “Present Progressive” for BBC Radio 4. She also directed Roy Nathanson’s “You’re Fool” for WNYC Radio, featuring Debbie Harry and The Jazz Passengers. Following was a three-part audio series with Helen Englehardt, on the subject of war and grieving, including her audio essay “Unquiet Graves” about her move to Flanders. In later years she has turned to performance in her adopted city of Lille, composing and performing sound for dance, with residencies at artconnexion Lille and the Ballet du Nord. She makes an electroacoustic poetry series called “Lives of the Poets” with Jeff Gburek in Poland, has performed improvisational music with him in Paris and Belgium, with Muzzix at La Malterie, and in other venues. She teaches “The Nature of Sound” in the Musiques et Technologies program at ISEN (an electrical engineering school). She was awarded the Norman Corwin Award for Audio Excellence at the 2018 Hear Now Festival in Kansas City, and is the producer of “That Tuesday,” an occasional podcast chronicling her collaborations in sound art.

Commissioned by Radiophrenia with the support of Creative Scotland.

An exploration of the electro- acoustic spheres of the ether and its dwellers.

Beyond the the margins of the radio set scale opens a psychedelic maze of countless electroacoustic rooms and spheres. The piece consists of field recordings using the aerial reception range of amateur radio stations round the globe by means of web-sdr (software defined radio) and interview fragments with enthusiasts from the Dusseldorf radio club DARC R01

Goarsethings is based on a recording made in the Portuguese mountains. During a residency of binaural media/Portugal she 6- year-old- Lubin and asked him to do a tour around the house. Lubin did the tour alone, equipped with a head set microphone.. After a while I followed. – It was spring and the landscape was full of gorse…. Other sounds stem from rusty gates and other old things lying around. The language is mostly English, some German words.

We are Archivosonoro (Soundarchive) from Chiapas, Mexico. The team are Gabriela Guadalupe Barrios García and Carlos Emilio Ruiz Llaven. Las latas de Don Renato (Don Renato’s Thin Cans), is about short stories (1 minute long) tell told only with sounds, no talk, no spoken word in any language. Don Renato (fictional character) is an old man who likes to collect sounds and keep in cans… so share with us your collection with many many cans.

3. MME dUO – rzck

rzck is like moving one little step ahead and sidewise a little step around, over and over, analogue and digital sounds together. In best form it is like an upper movement a la Beckett. It could go on and on. You might hardly move forward and this is a question of perspective.

MME dUO are ping pong Eden, warm up total, turnablists and leaf theorists. With partly invented instruments, voice and electronics, MME dUO is on field research into fragmented language and sound collage. Set pieces of spoken words become signals, atactic accents form repetitive rhythms. A continuous run in dis and harmony with connections to ‘Musique concrete’. MME dUO are Patricia Koellges and Tamara Lorenz, both also part of the former artist collective Sculptress of Sound (makiphon).

4. Sophocles Arvanitis – Miniature (2009)

sophocles arvanitis (1980)- his work focuses on the composition of electro-acoustic music on fixed medium,the creation of sound installations and on improvised live electronic and mixed music. it involves intermediary positions, in the composition of systems that can produce aesthetic results, the composition of sound, the creation of musical material and in spatialization of the musical material. his work is influenced by characteristics of the various environments of sound that surround us in our every day existence, by the systematic relationships between humans and sonic environments and by ideas about structuring and form.

6. Lisa Hall & Hannah Kemp Welch – Sound Map – 6 Bengali

A series of sonic postcards — snapshots of the top 14 most spoken languages of the world. Each 2 minute sound piece is created from speech, song and field recording samples, captured via online radio stations, news channels and live web cams. The audio was gathered at midday in the respective locations to ensure a chance selection process.

Created in response to Cildo Meireles’s sonic vision of the Tower of Babel , we invite you to listen to the most widely spoken languages across the globe and to reconsider the world map by language and listening, rather than country and border.

Lisa is a London based sound artist exploring urban environments using audio interventions and performative actions. Interrupting behaviour and questioning design, these works aim to make space for something new.

Hannah is a social practice sound artist, working collaboratively with communities, educators and artists, to listen to the world around. Using a range of strategies such as sound recording, audio interventions, broadcasts, performance and digital making, works explore communication and ask how do we listen? and who can be heard?

Hannah and Lisa have worked together since 2012, on commissions for galleries including Tate Modern, Firstsite, and October Gallery.

We Are Publication have produced speculative publications in the form of a launch event (ICA, London, 2015), a 5-minute video (Stanley Picker Gallery, 2015), the 60-minute radio broadcast Diagram of an Hour (Resonance FM, 2016) and a vinyl record documenting the broadcast (Curved Pressing, 2017). Between 2017 and 2018 We Are Publication produced Notes on a Carpet, a project that took the shape of a handmade rug. In 2018 the carpet was presented alongside a series of performances at Five Years and Black Tower Projects, London, Focal Point Gallery’s Unit 21, Southend-on-Sea and the London Art Book Fair, Whitechapel Gallery.

Produced whilst in residence at Cashmere Radio, this radio play deals with the subject of arrival, belonging and returning. It is loosely inspired by Sol Yurick’s novel ‘The Warriors’ and the film of the same name by Walter Hill.

Using analogue instruments, songs, voice, text and costumes, Catriona Shaw has created a 22-minute work designed for radio, a tale of survival that reflects upon her own geographical movements across the span of her life, her attempts to adapt, conform, and belong to new groups, cultures and territories whilst still battling to retain individuality. The piece premiered on the 4th of November, 2017 as a live broadcast at Cashmere Radio HQ in Lichtenberg and was funded by Musicboard Berlin.

Together Forever is an experimental radio play for automated voices. In a barren, post-apocalyptic world devoid of human life, machines begin to reanimate the ghostly presences of dead lovers, replaying fragments from a lost world of intimacy and desire they cannot fully comprehend.

Edward Herring received his MFA from Washington University in St Louis, where he was Junior Writer in Residence (Fiction) 2015-16. His audio piece ‘Retrievals’ is published online at The White Review.

The text consists of a protocol, written by an astronaut inside the ISS. The nameless astronaut seems to be born into this environment and has no concept of of zero gravity envitonments. The darkness outside is conceived as a black mass. He begins to take samples, without success. We never really know if he is surrounded by a crew or alone. Slowly every idea of space and time is eroding, language and his „I“ begin to disintegrate in the process. Dark visions take hold of him and soon the difference between dream, reality; memory and present consciousness collapses totally. He becomes obsessed by the idea that the Space Station is constantly falling away from earth into the wrinkles and foldings of the black space backdrop. In a helpless move he tries to establish radio contact to Voyager 2, which is floating on the fringes of our solar system.

This sound piece takes the form of a radio play where the main action is the throwing of objects back and forth between two people. Using the cross fade as a device to suggest a narrative structure and echoing the language of radio plays, a range of recordings of throwing objects in differing contexts and settings are edited together.

The act of throwing materials back and forth has been an ongoing method of research exploring intersubjectivity and agency in materials both through sound recordings and performance. The piece reflects on our relationship with materials and objects and what it means to be continuously involved in and with matter.

Matt Harding is a musician and sound artist who has released albums with Heavenly and Moshi Moshi Records. Most recently he has been working with performances based around deconstructing ‘The Cabinet of Dr Caligari’ including pieces at the Klingt Gut Festival, Hamburg and a residency at Gordon House, Margate. He has also written the soundtrack to British film High Tide and exhibited at Hackney Wicked festival and the Freud Museum. He is due to release his next album later this year

“I am speaking to you now from the edge of a very large swampland. I cannot really see where the water ends and the land begins. Radio play loves edges: between seduction and oblivion;
between the raw and the cooked; between the fur and the bone; between infinity and the present tense; between the play and the thing; the value of quiet beaver labor away from the mainstream, reshaping the local landscape as she creates shelter for herself and for her little grand idea that stumbles in, uninvited. But I have no intention of offering neat parables to you, not when I am lying inches away from stinky mud. The sun is going down and in a few
more minutes if I stay here I will become food for the mosquitos. It’s time to move on, and so from the Big Sloppy….”

Unfolding through a series of enigmatic tableaux, told through the artist’s poetry, voice, field recordings and improvised score, The Beast takes the listener on a dreamlike journey through myth, collective memory and fable, to a place where dark undercurrents linking The City of London, the West African coast, muck, gold and Frantz Fanon’s anti-colonial classic, The Wretched of the Earth, coincide.

Esi Eshun’s work encompasses poetry, performance and music making and has been presented across a number of platforms including Norway’s 2018 Radio Space Borealis Festival, Resonance FM and Wave Farm FM, and at live venues including Iklectik, New River Studios and The Intimate Space.

Peter Blamey – Flash > Volts No. 2

Thunderstorms, always a feature of Sydney summers, are becoming more frequent and more intense, filling the sky with increasing amounts of natural electricity at a gigantic scale. During one February storm, minuscule fragments of the massive quantities of energy emitted by lightning were captured by two small solar panels connected to an audio recorder, rendering their output as a sound recording. Each crackle, pop, and burst of noise is a kind of residue, resulting from voltage spikes produced by the panels in response to individual strikes. The accompanying thunder, itself another enormous energetic event, was tracked on a separate recording.

Peter Blamey is an Australian artist, based in Sydney. His practice includes performances, videos, recordings and installations, is often sound-focussed, and typically accomplished with a minimum of means. Broadly speaking, his work explores (amongst other things) the interconnected themes of energies and residues, often through reimagining both our everyday experiences of energy generation, use and wastage, and our encounters with technologies and the physical world. Peter’s latest album, Five Fertile Exchanges, was released by UK label Consumer Waste in 2018.

Hexagon Heart: a sound poem/musical story of Marjorie Van Halteren’s emigration to France in 1992 and what has become of her heart.

Marjorie Van Halteren, a long time American resident of France, is a three-time, Peabody Award winning radio producer, including for her 1982 personal poetry docudrama “Breakdown and Back,” and over a dozen original plays commissioned for WNYC’s The Radio Stage. It was her WDR commission “Roadtrip” that was shown at the Whitney in New York that eventually lead her to a life in sound art. She relocated to France and made pieces for BBC Radio 3’s Between the Ears, and directed her own play, “Present Progressive” for BBC Radio 4. She also directed Roy Nathanson’s “You’re Fool” for WNYC Radio, featuring Debbie Harry and The Jazz Passengers. Following was a three-part audio series with Helen Englehardt, on the subject of war and grieving, including her audio essay “Unquiet Graves” about her move to Flanders. In later years she has turned to performance in her adopted city of Lille, composing and performing sound for dance, with residencies at artconnexion Lille and the Ballet du Nord. She makes an electroacoustic poetry series called “Lives of the Poets” with Jeff Gburek in Poland, has performed improvisational music with him in Paris and Belgium, with Muzzix at La Malterie, and in other venues. She teaches “The Nature of Sound” in the Musiques et Technologies program at ISEN (an electrical engineering school). She was awarded the Norman Corwin Award for Audio Excellence at the 2018 Hear Now Festival in Kansas City, and is the producer of “That Tuesday,” an occasional podcast chronicling her collaborations in sound art.

Inflammatory Haircut is a bizarre, evolving world of an album by Martian Hello. Mutated electronic soundscapes are populated with manic, hallucinatory instrumentals that constantly shift and play against the sturdier backdrops. Most sounds are analog before being digitally manipulated. Conceived as a literally endless album, Inflammatory Haircut will technically never be finished and will only ever grow and mutate at random intervals in the coming years. Inflammatory Haircut is a growing world populated by truly alien forms. Martian Hello are horridus oplopanax and Zachary Zena Giberson, and are in Oregon and Texas, respectfully. They collaborate over the internet and have fun making weird, impossible music together. Both horridus and Zachary make solo music, horridus’ devilsclub project can be found at https://soundcloud.com/devilsclub and Zachary’s lives at https://zacharyzenagiberson.bandcamp.com/. They haven’t met yet in real life, but it’d probably be very cool when they finally do.

A pre-recorded performance that draws its inspiration from a fantasy entertained over many years by a man in his late 60s (me). This man (me) lives in Glasgow. He fantasises about being another man called Ivan who lives as an exile in a far-flung provincial town in late 1950s Soviet Union. The piece includes sound effects, spoken testimony and an imaginary interview with a psychiatrist.

Tony Morris lives in Glasgow and for the last 66 years and 8 months has lived his life backwards. Three years ago, on a firm foundation of zero talent and zero musical experience, he embarked upon a completely preposterous performing career; something he pursues with gusto and masses of self-doubt.

1. Aume – Transmission (Part III)

CQ CQ refers to the shortwave radio abbreviation for “calling any station”. This theme came about from a disillusionment created by the overwhelming amount of information being transmitted. That any individual voice falls on deaf ears in the midst of a maelstrom. That one is never more isolated than when everyone is talking at the same time. CQ CQ is full of vocal transmissions, most of which are indecipherable. They are failed attempts at communication. They are transmissions that lead to the disintegration of human connection and understanding.

2. Darja Sharlatova & Manuel Bachinger – klangzeitfiguren22119

The piece “Klangzeitfiguren 22119” is the recording of the sound performance through the play
of the so-called “Klangzeitfiguren”. These represent a conceptual work by Darja Shatalova
dealing with the spatialization of time. There are four figures welded from round steel, going
through different phases of formation and translocation. Contact microphones are attached to the Klangzeitfiguren and they are played only with hands or a violin bow. The sound performance is characterized by a mutual reaction to sound curves and impulses. The sonority reminds i.a. on bells and clocks and brings time, conceptually and materially inscribed into the figures, to sound.

Darja Shatalova – Born 1988 in Russia, studied arts and mathematics at the University of Cologne and since 2014 Transmedia Arts at the University of Applied Arts Vienna. Her work consists of multi-layered coded graphical notations and set-up systems transformed into different media, such as space based installations, long-durational performances and sound compositions.

Manuel Cyrill Bachinger Born 1988 in Vienna, Austria. Studies at the University of Applied Arts Vienna in the department for Digital Art (Ruth Schnell) since 2017. His work is concerned with acoustic and visual forms of expression and uses frequently transformational processes. Manuel is interested in working in experimental manners with sound and light installations and in various projects as a musical performer.

3. Jeff Kolar – Music for Phone Booths – 05 No coin

Music for Phone Booths is a multi-channel audio installation and recorded album intended to defuse the hectic atmosphere of Chicago’s City Hall and County Building. For this site-responsive work, Kolar composed original music for playback inside five vintage abandoned phone booths located underground in the Chicago Pedway. The compositions feature an 1863 S.D. & H.W. Smith pump organ and electronics. The project investigates the style, function, and format of Background Music – music created to be passively listened to. Music for Phone Booths is intended to induce calm and serve as a comfort station for daily commuters.

Performed, Recorded, Mixed & Mastered By Jeff Kolar in Chicago, Illinois, United States
Commissioned By: Chicago Loop Alliance, Space p11, The City of Chicago

4. Rachel Cattle & Volker Eichelmann – remainder’s rest as reason, tuning /////// turning

remainder’s rest as reason, tuning /////// turning is the first collaboration between Rachel Cattle and Volker Eichelmann. The sound piece uses a recording of Cattle humming and another of her ripping paper as its sole source material. Through collage, extraction and layering these two instances of activity are stretched, truncated and composited to sonically establish moments of intimacy and distance between the two collaborators. This project was originally conceived by Cattle and Eichelmann for a presentation by the research group We Are Publication (Centre for Useless Splendour, Kingston University) at Focal Point Gallery’s Unit Twenty-One in October 2018.

A long form piece capturing the sounds of some of the last remaining working class / old man pubs in Edinburgh and Leith. It’s an attempt at documenting this type of pub before they are all inevitably turned into cocktail, gin or gastro pubs (particularly the city centre ones). To do this, I used my Iphone to record myself drinking a pint of Tennents in seven pubs around Edinburgh and Leith:

For reference, I visited the following pubs:

Kings Arms – Tollcross
Mathers Bar – West end
Central Bar – Leith
The strathie – Leith
Middletons – Easter road
The artisan – Abbeyhill

The hoppy – Meadowbank

Ryan Frame is an office worker and experimental field recording artist. Based in Edinburgh, his recordings from the city’s pubs, streets and buses are all captured on his iphone or iPod. He performs live as noise disco, supplementing field recordings with improvised electronics, radio static, drum machines and samples. He is one half (along with Doog Cameron) of semi retired straight to CD-R late night guitar, techno and nonsense duo, John’s Indie Disco and never played live before covers band, Arab Crap. His work has been aired on Borealis, Radiophrenia and Wave Farm and he has performed live in various pub basements in Edinburgh and Glasgow.
