The piece is a mix of field recordings and music made over a long period of time. Everything is structured around theories of human development.

Some of the people that appears: Jon Benbow, Prof. S.K Chakraborty, Gorana Pop-Georgieva, Ken Blawatt, Beppe Eliasson

Kristian Eliasson is a composer, musician and field recordist. He is part of societymusic.org

Show 670: Turvalíngua by Nuno Pinto & Paulo Raposo (RadioZero)

Departing from the reading and performing experience of PO-EX, an ongoing archive of portuguese experimental poetry, this piece explores the mouth and tongue organs as sound tool to engage in an unstable balance between pre-verbal forms and collapsing discursive fragments which bring forward the interstices of language, all with a somehow black humour approach. Portuguese spoken only.

Nuno Marques Pinto is a multidisciplinary artist. He works on theatre, performance and painting, combining these tools to build a singular voice. His work shares a reflection on language and sound and aims to question or highlight the mecanisms of control in contemporany speech.

Show 669: Bodies of Water by Laura Irving for Soundart Radio

This piece is a sound meditation on impact of water; how sounds of water affect humans, and how human sound effect the aquatic ecosystem.

Using interviews, field recordings and archive footage (including from GM’s ‘Futurama’ exhibit of the New York World Fair of 1939), Bodies of Water looks at how we evolve and progress, and whether the tide of development we’ve been sold is actually taking us toward a destination we want to arrive at.

Produced and mixed by Laura Irving (Laurairving.co.uk). Mastered by Jean Paul DuBock

Show 667: « Ex Nihilo (nihil fit) » / Kinda Hassan (Radio Grenouille)

« Ex Nihilo (nihil fit) » – Kinda Hassan


Lebanese artist Kinda Hassan deciphers the Marseille kaleidoscope through a sound installation titled “Ex Nihilo (nihil fit), nothing comes from nothing”, where she interrogates the different stories rendered invisible by the contemporary facade of the city.

In the sonic image she creates, Hassan presents the city and its port as a subject and its mirror, unveiling details of some origins, often assigned today to the margin, to oblivion. They are details that illustrate a quotidian life by the sea: hours spent waiting for boats, bodies carrying tons of goods, products animating the shelves of the city markets, trades born on the corpses of their antecedents. They are details evoking ruptures, silences and ends.

The work is an intimate encounter with a city brought back to its fundamental roots: Man and his experience with survival.


 

Show 666: One Thought Fills Immensity by Sarah Washington (Kunstradio)

One Thought Fills Immensity

Social Dreaming Climate Change: A psychosocial research pilot study into the contemporary cultural unconscious of climate change

A task, an engagement, a celebration, a seriousness, a desire, a call to arms. In October 2017 a gathering of specialists in climate change – including artists, researchers, activists, members of the Climate Psychology Alliance, and scientists – were brought together in rural Dorset by Cape Farewell, to be led by experts in a research method called the Social Dreaming Matrix. After contemplation of a series of powerful climate-based artworks, the 16 participants undertook a shared exploration of their dreams, associations and feelings with the aim of illuminating the cultural unconscious of climate change.

In One Thought Fills Immensity, Sarah Washington navigates the results in the hope of furthering the project’s goal to articulate the subliminal themes most meaningful for culture in the era of climate change. It is a Mobile Radio production for ORF Kunstradio and the Radia network, produced on behalf of Cape Farewell.
