This radiophonic piece is improvised from live broadcast, dubbed and mixed across four channels in real time, with effects layered in the moment. It explores the fleeting quality of sound — how something can be summoned into being just by pressing Play. It’s about listening as a kind of magic, where the act of playback becomes the act of creation, unfolding outward like a ripple
from the centre. A quiet celebration of the ephemeral, the accidental, and the everyday wonder of tuning in.

Andrew Backhouse is one of the founders of Harrogate Community Radio and an artist in his own right. Born in East Anglia and somewhat superstitious, Andrew has lived across the UK but now happily calls Harrogate home.
