Marco Paltrinieri: The Weaver

The Weaver is the debut solo album by the multidisciplinary artist and Discipula collective member Marco Paltrinieri. Merging spoken words with field recordings, electro-acoustic textures and relics of found melodies, The Weaver brings to life, across 6 movements, the memories and thoughts of a creature living in a world in which the distinction between reality and simulation, as well as between psychic space and external environment seems to have definitely collapsed. Music and words: Marco Paltrinieri. Voice: Lucie Page. Additional mixing: Nicola Ratti. Mastering: Giuseppe Lelasi.

Jess Hamilton: Takayna

Takayna holds the largest ancient temperate rainforest in Australia, stretching across the northwest of Tasmania. This soundscape meanders through tall trees entangled with ferns. Gently flowing rivers. Mosaics of vibrant mosses and fungi. An ancient sinkhole alive with frogs, birds and underwater insects. Rich, wet soil. Deep green. This is one of the last undisturbed Gondwana rainforests in the world. Like many forest sites in Australia, it is threatened and surrounded by logging. Recorded as part of a collaboration with visual artist Sammy Hawker, recorded with a stereo mic and hydrophone. Gratitude and respect to the palawa pakana traditional owners. Dedicated to the forest defenders. Produced by Jess Hamilton.

Neolithic Cannibals

Neolithic Cannibals is a socially engaged sound art project and exhibition from the young people of Whitehawk and East Brighton, and artist Simon James, who was born and raised in Whitehawk. As part of the Class Divide campaign for fairer education, the project confronted issues of stigma and what it means when we listen to the unheard and invisible. Textures, shapes and patterns derived from archaeological materials place the Neolithic Cannibals soundscape deeply within the heritage and history of Whitehawk in Brighton. The listening spans thousands of years, from Neolithic Flint Knapping to the early 20th century geophysical techniques used to discover Whitehawk Camp, and now the young artists from Whitehawk creating a contemporary artefact using the sounds of their environment. Communities connecting across thousands of years through listening. Visit www.simonsound.co.uk.

Gabriele Heller: Utopia More And More

Utopia has been in our consciousness since the beginning of humanity. Where is this elusive land of equality and happiness and how can we enter? 'Utopia M&m' invites you on an exploration of the utopian ideal, a journey into the past as well as the future. Fusing prerecorded texts and music fragments with a live performance this interlaced audio piece creates a rich tapestry that plays with perception, form and genre. Wander with us through a space filled with dreams, political activism, philosophical dispute, belief and disbelief. What do Thomas More, the mysterious voice, Plato, Robert Owen and the miracle of Wörgl have in common? Are you in or are you out? Join our utopian quest into a land of skepticism, aspiration, reflection and hope. Produced by
Gabriele Heller.

Bex Šik: Dredging Echoes (Watersilver)

In Dredging Echoes (Watersilver) aspects of stealth, scavenging, (counter)surveillance and the commons are intertwined through an exploration of the hobbies of two individuals, a Zombie Satellite Tracker and a Magnet Fisher. The piece uses the echo as both concept and effect to explore fields and forces invisible to the human eye. Bringing to light covert activities, hidden pathways and the delicate line between physics and magic. Composed with custom built musical instruments that harness the power of magnetic fields and weaving through investigations into bat echolocations, underwater field recordings, electromagnetic phenomena and the sun-earth connection. The work was made because radio is magic, to pay homage to the obsessions of amateurs and hobbyists and to embodied knowledge that sits outside language. Produced by Bex Šik.

Ash Kilmartin: Cadogan Street, Girl With Ribena Box

"Cadogan Street, girl with Ribena box” attempts to describe a moment of complete absorption: a stranger on a Glasgow street, a child, stopping to sip from a juice box. Selected from a series of sketches that witness people in states of intense concentration, observed over days Kilmartin spent walking Glasgow’s inner city grid, the poem is expanded, looped, erased and supplemented in an editing process that, like the writing, tries to get inside the unexpected corners of a consuming, if fleeting, everyday experience. Written, spoken and edited by Ash Kilmartin with bass improvisation by Dada Phone. Produced as part of a residency/exchange with Radio WORM, Rotterdam. Visit ashkilmartin.net and radio.worm.org.

Verónica Cerrotta: Tiny Little River, Autumn Afternoon

This is a series of field recordings made in the transition biome between the Atlantic Forest and the Cerrado, in the mountainous region of Rio de Janeiro.
The recordings were made in different seasons of the year, between 2023-2024, and at different times of the day. Each of the recordings has an approximate duration of sixty minutes. Produced by Verónica Cerrotta.

3:00pm - 4:00pm

Anna Friz: Revenant

Revenant is a radio art work which explores mortality, rot, and regeneration, using electronic and radiophonic instruments, and field recordings made both below and above ground. The first part reflects on a summer of extreme heat and wildfire, and the desire to escape into the safety of a burrow underground. The second reconsiders the mythical journey of the living into the underworld, wondering what kind of organism does one need to become to burrow down to the earth in order to reunite with a deceased loved one? The creatures who move easily through the soil are often considered abject: insects, rodents, serpents, worms. A journey to the underworld requires metamorphosis of body and senses on the quest for visitation with the dead. Commissioned by ORF Kunstradio and recorded in the mighty RP4 studios of the ORF Funkhaus in Vienna and on various locations in Santa Cruz, California. Produced by Anna Friz.

4:00pm - 4:30pm

Margo Misiak Orlovic: Z/G/T/H/

The name Z/G/T/H references Rosi Braidotti’s zoe/geo/techno asemblages (to which Margo reintroduces ‘human’, an agent still being processed) and the wider conversation on the possibility of a re-imagined posthuman subject which emerges from our rejection of the dominant role of Anthopos and an attempt to dehierarchise the multispecies and global relationships. Work created for the RCA2024 graduate show where a version of it was playing using as speakers experimental copper-and-enamel objects created by Margo. Produced by Margo Misiak-Orlovic.

4:30pm - 5:00pm

Tom White: An Awful Energy

The Oare Marshes Nature Reserve in Kent was once used to manufacture gunpowder for the first world war effort. On 02 April 1916 a series of massive gunpowder explosions took the lives of 108 people (including White’s Great Grandfather, Sydney Clubb) and injured many more. The blast left a crater 40 yards wide and 20 feet deep. The explosion was so huge it was reportedly felt in Norwich and heard in France. Remnants of the site remain to this day among the rich ecosystem of birds, insects and non-native marsh frogs. An Awful Energy attempts to draw connections with the past and its present inhabitants/uses of the space; the tragic consequence of a singular event and the development of a very different ecology. Through site specific recordings and actions tracing fading lines in the landscape; a sonic demarcation or archeology can be felt. Produced by Tom White.

5:00pm - 5:30pm

David Sappa & Caitlin Kiely: The Walker In The Landscape

The Walker in the Landscape began as a narrative script written and recorded by artist Caitlin Kiely in 2020. The spoken word audio was intended to be listened to as the walker or listener moved through a landscape or environment. The idea being that they occupy the space between the two characters – the Walker and the Narrator — as they temporarily locate the narrative in the physical space they occupy. David Sappa heard Caitlin’s script and began recollecting sonic memories of landscapes and environments they’d experienced, leading to conversations with Caitlin around the research and contexts surrounding her work. Thanks to: Grace Emily Manning - Voice, Narrator; Roland Ross, Voice, Walker; Dominic Lewis - sound assistance in Wales.

Ute Wassermann: Imaginary Habitats

Ute Wassermann interweaves her voice with field recordings of birds, insects, frogs - of creatures that move across the boundaries between air, water and earth and finds new and different resonance places far away from their original environment. Fragile, seemingly natural sounds, such as the buzzing of bees under water, can be transformed into technoid drones. Snippets of soundscapes ghost through objects. 'Imaginary Habitats' is a co-commission between Radiophrenia and Goethe Institut Glasgow. Visit utewassermann.com.

6:30pm - 7:00pm

Simina Oprescu: Green Hermeticism

This binaural composition, inspired by Green Hermeticism by Peter Lamborn Wilson, intertwines spoken word and psychoacoustic phenomena, guiding listeners through a narrative on consciousness, matter, energy, and spirit. Drawing on key citations from the text, the work explores unconventional belief systems, where the symbolic becomes real, and nature is seen as a perceptive entity. With references to Ilya Prigogine's theories and Novalis' hermetic science, it delves into how consciousness shapes the natural world, unfolding through rhythm and transformation—from mineral to plant, animal, human, and divine. This journey reflects hermetic principles of unity and creation, as consciousness seeks itself through all metamorphoses. Narrator's voice at the beginning: Zach Hart. Recorded, designed and composed by Simina Oprescu. Produced by Simina Oprescu.

Christina Shelagh Mongelli: The On Love, Death & Life: Daerth Mixtape

The On Love, Death & Life: Daerth mixtape is an immersive sonic journey, weaving through echoes of ancient worlds, ethereal soundscapes, and timeless myths. Emanating from the mysterious depths of the Luray Caverns, the world’s largest lithophone—the stalacpipe organ—plunges us down into Medusa’s gaze, turning us to stone, where Italo Calvino’s exploration of ‘Lightness’ opens up a road of perspective and liberation, as a means of transcending worldly hardships. Blending the music and sound art of contemporary artists with field recordings, spoken word, and cinematic soundscapes, the mixtape travels through past and present. Each track revisits and reimagines moments in time, offering a unique fusion of voices and atmospheres that spans from ancient myths to modern reflections. Produced by: Christina-Shelagh Mongelli.

Cloud Circuit Jeremy Young & Deanna Radford: The Length Of A Wave

The Length of a Wave was created for the launch of Occulto's R A D I O zine on January 12, 2024 at Errant Sound, Berlin, to which Deanna Radford contributed a poetic work. Recorded at Les Ateliers Belleville in Tio’tià:ke tsi ionhwéntsare / Mooniyang / Montreal. R A D I O is a poetry zine in print and sound released in September 2023. It emerged from a rediscovered passion for poetry blended with collective reflections on sustainable self-publishing, a decade-long involvement with sound experiments, and a soft spot for ‘radio’ as medium, technology, and (multilingual and multimeaning) word. Produced by Deanna Radford and Jeremy Young with special guest, Martín Rodríguez. Visit cloudcircuit.ca.
