Invisible Signals
[Repeated from Thursday 4.30pm] Invisible Signals is a monthly open-form radio series that traverses archival fragments, field recordings and sonic atmospheres to examine the material and affective dimensions of imperceptible infrastructures. This month: Through memory, through migration, through places that no longer exist in the same way, aerial utterances carry their own patterns of movement and relation. Listening drifts, shifting emotional landscapes, allowing calls and rhythms to morph into new constellations of attraction. These movements and frictions become a means of inhabiting the space between listening and recognition, where meaning drifts between presence and absence. This episode lingers with the timbre of bird calls and the ways they move in and out of the infinite sky, distant rhythms and passing atmospheres, gathering associations as they travel. Presented by artist and researcher Florence To. Visit invisiblesignals.org.
8:00am - 9:00am

Micro Clear Spot
Shorter specials and one-off programmes. Today, Brenchley by Tim Meacham. This semi-autobiographical audio narrative formed part of his practice-based PhD. It was created to avoid the written component being seen as somehow separate to the work – but rather integral to and an extension of the practice. Originally, Brenchley was to be broadcast as part of the PhD submission, and recording was started with Tim's friend, the actor Paul Ritter, who sadly died during lockdown before recording could be completed. This piece is made from audio fragments recorded before Paul became ill and is dedicated to his memory. [Repeats Saturday 2.30pm.]

Plus, details for signing Independent Age’s petition calling for creating a national water social tariff. Our musical tribute is to David Wiffen, an English-Canadian folk singer-songwriter, who died recently. Produced by Deptford Action Group for the Elderly. [Repeats Sunday 2pm.]

Dr. Alice Carter-Champion from Royal Holloway finds the surprising deep past story with news for today. When permafrost thaws, natural systems could release more greenhouse gases than humans. From Institut Pierre Simon Laplace in France, Dr. Philippe Ciais returns with worrying new science: even more heat coming. Visit ecoshock.org/ for more information. Contact radio@ecoshock.org.
