Mariam Morshed & Chris Smith: Spiraal
A collaborative performance led by Mariam Morshed (US, IR) with Chris Smith (UK) drawing upon the paranormal, OSTs, field recordings, discordant melodies and restless dreams. Shifting sounds and structures, eerie nuances, all as a red sun labelled “record" blazes to life. This piece was performed in July 2023 at IKLECTIK supporting dj lostboi.
1:00am - 7:00am
Absolute Value Of Noise And Anna Friz: Water Line/Estuary Almanac, Version 1
"Water Line" is a generative audio piece by Absolute Value of Noise and Anna Friz that imagines the space between the tides and between salt and fresh water - depending on the height of the tides, the listener is above or below the water surface. The lapping of mussels, the crawling and loud hissing of crabs, the pawing of sand fleas, the slow movements of shellfish. Real environmental sounds are mixed with compositional interpretations of bodies of water and their environment, from kelp forests and flood zones to mud flats and marshy areas, from flood plains to rocky coves. The piece was originally commissioned by Deutschlandfunk Kultur and Ö1 Kunstradio for the annual project KONTINUUM. It ran from April 2023 to June 2024 as an ongoing 1 year+ generative radio work. Visit absolutevalueofnoise.ca and nicelittlestatic.com.

Mutually Interfering: Number And Elegance Of The Rooms
This piece is the result of blind cooperation of sorts; few limitations were set regarding the length of the recording, what should be used and what should not be used; subsequently, individual recordings were mixed where each track was lightly panned, left or right. Unplanned interplay began to appear. All sounds by Turmeric Acid and uœrhe.
7:30am - 8:00am
Craig Hunter: Bits
"I met someone in London this year who seemed embarrassed that he was doing 'bits and pieces', rather than an established career. I love doing bits. Here are some of them. The backbone of the piece is an unedited recording from Ta Van village in northern Vietnam. I was struck by how well the dog was keeping time. This is overlaid with various other aural memories from the past two years, including squelching through a swamp in Finland, the rumbling of trains through Germany, cafe chat in Hanoi, Warsaw and Valencia, and a chorus of cicadas as I walked through the latter. Regular life also features via a barbecue, the Langside Road bird choir, wrapping a customer's belongings for a house move and working on a short film with friends.” Produced by Craig Hunter.

Jim Lloyd: The Great Northern Diver
The Great Northern Diver combines spoken word, poetry, and field recordings. It tells the story of one man’s attempts to capture bird calls as he searches to understand what it might be like to be a bird. Using first and third person perspectives, scientific as well as poetic investigations, the work explores themes of migration, displacement, rootedness, home, and loss, highlighting the entanglement of human history, landscape, and ecosystems. (The production contains two 20 sec excerpts of Passacaglia by GF Handel played by Marisa Robles, Pieces from my childhood 1979, UMG.) Produced by Jim Lloyd.
10:00am - 10:30am
Megan Gette: Interference Patterns
Percussive gestures with a geophone on a floor loom play with technorational forms of listening. And recorded household objects as divining pendulums over a fraudulent blueprint of Texas oilfields (1920s). Industrial listening includes the use of geophones and dowsing rods. Geophone arrays embedded at the earth’s surface connect to thumper trucks that “listen and reflect” acoustic waves in geological strata by inducing earthquakes. Despite the promises of accuracy, drilling companies still commission dowsers to wildcat (prospect for – sound) oil, minerals, or water underground. Mineral dowsing generally uses pendulums over topographical maps, while water dowsing uses coat hangers, witch hazel sticks or copper rods. Fraudulent oil maps meant to deter drilling competition from landgrabbing, or to convince owners to sell, amid ongoing dispossession of Black and Indigenous lands. Divining over the map points to the dreamy indifference of wind and the uncertainties of tapping or untangling in acts of measurement. Produced by Megan Jeanne Gette. Visit atrace.cargo.site.
10:30am - 11:00am
Extense: The Eternal Emissions Of A Dying Star
This broadcast uses the decommissioning process of the Hunterston A and B Nuclear Sites to explore the exhaustion of the nuclear dream and the residues it has left on the Clyde coastline. The surround of Hunterston is drawn out in sound, summoning the material and affective sediments that linger in and around the site, and the infrastructural overwriting enacted on the landscape by palimpsestic energy imaginaries. The composition is centred around a series of geophone recordings taken during the FieldARTS residency with the Infrastructure Humanities Group. Low-frequency hums are drawn out from Hunterston’s material landscape to become drones, pulling in and out of harmony, evoking sonic spectres that linger beyond the edges of auditory perception. Extense is a collaborative project between Clara Hancock and Dianne Burdon.
11:00am - 11:30am
Eliza Wagener: A Guide To Windowpecking
A 30-minute original sound piece by Eliza Wagener. In this piece, the painter refers to an ongoing series of small-scale paintings that started with her move from Hamburg to Glasgow in October 2024. "Various depicted scenes show moments or direct glimpses of window frames as seen from the outside. Figures move across the images, bathed in mystical green and blue light, in almost monochromatic scenes, as if they aim to draw one into the space—both the exhibition and the pictorial space. Come closer, we are here, and you can look at us. Consciously or unconsciously, staged, or casual gazes?’"(Anne Meerpohl: A Rear Window Situation, Les Nouveaux Riches Magazine, February 2025). 'A Guide To Windowpecking' is presented for the first time at Radiophrenia Glasgow and then will be broadcast live from the exhibition 'Windowpecking fortlaufend' at Kunstverein Harburger Bahnhof in Hamburg via HALLO: Radio on 26 April 2025. Featuring the voices of Embla Graham, Calypso Keane and Colm Moore.

Phew: Jamming 2025
"As a child I travelled the world on BCL radio and was fascinated by the music and languages of distant countries with fading phenomena. Once, while checking the shortwave band, a 'pheeew' noise passed by. The frequency range was very wide and the overall frequency was heard to rise in a continuous sequence of changes. What was that sound?Jamming 2025 is an attempt to recreate that experience from memory.“ Produced by Phew. Visit phewjapan.bandcamp.com.

Max Farrel: Co Opt Radio (Live In The Studio)
An improvised performance project which uses sampling, manipulation and layering of live radio to create sonic landscapes. Each performance is a unique reflection and response to the radio landscape, exploring acts of documentation, archiving, and collective listening through re-contextualizing our relationship to place, memory, and sonic culture. For Radiophrenia 2025 Max Farrel proposes to do an expanded co-opt radio live set to mirror the world frequency, starting by sampling local Glasgow radio then expanding the radius of source sounds to gradually include internet radio sources from across the globe.

Yulia Carolin Kothe: Poltergeist Or Some Scene Else
Poltergeist or Some Scene Else is an essayistic radio work by Yulia Carolin Kothe that takes the Barras Market's (Glasgow) syntax of artefacts as a starting point for creating an expanding and ever-evolving tableau of intense, uneasy acousmatic atmospheres. The conspicuous and omniscient narrator takes the listener on a rambling walk through the Barras entering private and public spaces, a remote cottage and various ambivalent territories home to disembodied voices and close up traces of life like a wet ring of a coffee cup just plucked from the scene. Kothe's own electronic compositions are juxtaposed with re-articulated oral histories, chopping up DIY recordings on cassettes purchased from the Barras Market, and combining with avantgarde German poems by Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven (1874–1927), Thekla Lingen (1866-1931), Karoline von Günderrode (1780-1806) and Anna Ritter (1865–1921). Text by Caitlin Merrett King. Visit www.juliacarolinkothe.de.

Kunstradio 3: Seltsamen By Thea Soti, Christine Schörkhuber And Verena Dürr
Thea Soti, Christine Schörkhuber and Verena Dürr are immersed in a joint research on how stories influence our perception of nature and with which narratives we confront the climatic changes on the planet, which we as humans significantly cause. "SELTSAMEN" was initiated by ORF musikprotokoll and is a cooperation with Ö1 Zeit-Ton, Ö1 Kunstradio, XX Y X and Kluckyland. The storytelling lounge and installation "SELTSAMEN" by Thea Soti, Christine Schörkhuber and Verena Dürr can be experienced at Kluckyland in Vienna from 2.6.2023.
8:45pm - 9:00pm
Anne Versailles: Garanas Lokte
mmersion in the far north, where the wind blows, the snow cracks and the ice rolls and scraps. Where one does not enter by chance, but by leaving the comfort of daily certainties. Where we lose our footing and our bearings, where we sink into these wide valleys dominated by icy mountains, until we let ourselves be crossed by the raven, which flies away. How do we deal with the retreat of the North as we know it?
Garanas Lokte is composed exclusively with field recording in Swedish Lapland by
Anne Versailles.
9:00pm - 10:00pm
Subterra: Ballad Of The Fermyn
In this radio play, told through the voice of the Narrator, we are presented with an eccentric cast of characters living with an ever disenchanted and hostile landscape made up of old mines, towering blast furnaces, an inexplicable blackness which seems to spread insidiously, and a strange red substance that emanates from the earth. The veil is thin in this world. Perhaps you best enter the Inn of Ill Omen, order a nice frothy pint and rest your aching soul by the hearth. In the dim light an open hand reveals a blood red ironstone, an amulet that will reveal the way to "that place"... or so the story goes. SUBTERRA is a collaboration between Astrid Björklund and Marie-Chantal Hamrock. Visit Instagram @sub.terrestrials.
