Davide Tidoni: Collected Recordings
[Repeated from Wednesday 4.10pm.] Davide Tidoni is an artist and researcher interested in the relational dimension of listening, and in the physical experience of sound. He works with live performance, intervention, audio recording, video and guided listening, and published a sound ethnography on the ultras group BRESCIA 1911. 'Collected Recordings' is a series of works selected by Tidoni from his extensive back catalogue. Produced by Milo Thesiger-Meacham. In Episode 4, Davide presents 5 works: (Fail We May) Sail We Must (2013); I Have Always Wanted To Be In A Band (2019); This Is My House (2009); This Kind of Hugs (2005); Neighbours (2009).
(Fail We May) Sail We Must' includes two recordings of different rehearsal sessions in the halls of a music school. The musicians in the recordings practice their pieces and repeat them over and over again. Their perseverance encourages listeners to understand failure as a necessary step in the process of growth.
'I Have Always Wanted To Be In A Band' is a series of recordings of Davide drumming in his room when he was 12 years old. The work contains comments made by Davide’s mum recorded while she was listening to the recordings 25 years later.
'This Is My House' consists of the voice of a little boy taking the listener on a tour of his house. It aims to communicate everyone’s basic need to have a place containing their own memories and affections.
'This Kind of Hugs' is a musical dedication by an 8 year old boy to his girlfriend, in the form of two short and sweet compositions.
'Neighbours' consists of Davide singing along with the music of a band rehearsing next door. Rather than ask them to stop he decided to get involved and become a secret member of the band.

[Repeated from Monday 11.30am.] GLAM Racket. A pilot radio series of sonic glimpses exploring libraries, archives, music, art and community histories through conversations, field recordings and creative public events across London. Today: we explore repair and the experience of being seen and heard. We visit Robbie Judkins at a Repair Café at Forest Gate Library in Newham where residents, volunteer fixers and library staff come together. Organised by East London Waste Authority and Newham Libraries, the café highlights the value of repair in reducing waste, saving money and strengthening community ties. Then, we speak to Ronald Amanze, who following a stroke realised he had a health condition which had been misunderstood. Now living with dementia and advocating for being active and creative to stay healthy, Ronald reflects on what it means to be truly heard by councils and public services, and why he often turns to writing, art and music to express himself beyond labels such as "bad behaviour". The programme closes with a song Ronald collaborated on with Paul Hitchmough called “I'm Still Climbing Mountains”. For further information about those featured today, visit: www.glamracket.org.
