Body Edit Mind

Part 1 of a 22-hour radio project about editing and the mind, created by Milo Thesiger-Meacham. Featuring 10-second audio extracts from over 6000 unseen videos found online, original sound recordings, music, hand-held camera audio and writing, Body Edit Mind follows an unnamed narrator as they move house and piece together a world of recording devices, names, crime, real-world characters and obscure media from across the globe. Follow @fox_neame on Instagram for more. Commissioned by Radio Art Zone, a temporary radio art station by Radio ARA and Mobile Radio for the European Capital of Culture, Esch2022. "Novelistic in Javier Cercas's definition of the novel as encapsulating the universe; personal to the point of nakedness while grasping the world through anonymous, atomised mass media; expansive, complex, focused; interesting in terms of technique (gathering, patching, chopping, sewing, marinading, cooking); witty, absurd, clever; elusive, lucid; a real work of art." - The Wire

Willkommen Im Magnetbanduntergrund!

Originally broadcast live on Resonance Extra in 2025, this programme of experimental music from Hamburg features GAJEK, Jan Jelinek & Frank Bretschneider. Independent music productions were banned in the GDR in terms of production, distribution, and sales. However, countless groups such as Der Demokratische Konsum, Zwitschermaschine, Schleim-Keim, and Kein Talent defied these regulations imposed by the workers' and farmers' state. They took it upon themselves to play their (mostly homemade) instruments and recorded their compositions directly onto tape: unorthodox punk met lo-fi experimental rock, stumbling electronics met grinding pop constructions, conceptual minstrelsy met infernal noise. 

The publication Magnetizdat DDR, Magnetbanduntergrund DDR 1979–1990 (2023, Verbrecher Verlag) tells the story of this magnetic counterculture. Inspired by this, we will explore the musical subversions of the late GDR in three acts over three days. Curated by Judith Behre and Florian Bräunlich.
