Show 988: “Sheela-Na-Gig” by Carine Demange For Radio Campus Bruxelles

Leave a comment

SHEELA-NA-GIG is an improvised and multiplied encounter on the banks of the Meavy river. An attempt to let the invisible invite itself and take its place in our daily practices.

Welcome to Dartmoor’s hidden rain forest, in the wooded valley of Dewerstone (Devon, England), inhabited by mossy rivers and welcoming faeries, tangled oaks and beech fruits, talking stones and spying sheeps, pagan radio fellows and Mabon cooking voices.

A idea from : Carine Demange, Gihan Marasingha, Kerry Priest & Maggi Shade
Editing : Carine Demange (Radio Campus Bruxelles)

With gratitude for the good vibes and voices of :
Alice Armstrong, Anne-Marie Bala, Premal Bhatt, George Brock, Stuart Crewes, Pauline Day, Hannah Drayson, Cat Guy, Lucinda Guy, Jess Langton, Sarah Lawrence, Mark Peacock, Roshani Ramass, the Meavy river, the sources of Plym and all Dartmoor energies and invisible inhabitants.

This creation is a collective work done in two days and broadcasted on ACCESS FM on the 17th of september 2023.
A collective radio piece produced during Dartmoor radio residential with Stellaria Media and supported by FUTURES on air project. Many thanks to them and to Soundart Radio.

Show 987: Bruit Confus & CCDM – Improv Sequence | Radio Grenouille

Bruit Confus & CCDM – Improv Sequence

Bruit Confus on Radio Grenouille (88.8 Marseille, FR) founded in 2018 by Billy Guidoni explores deviant and extreme music in all of its forms: noise rock, harsh noise, psychedelia, math rock, experimental, industrial, post-hardcore, free rock, no wave, post-punk, black metal etc. The CCDM (Collectif de Contre-déterminisme Magique) created in 2019 by Peter Hart, also a host on BC, organizes regular free improvisation concerts in randomized ensembles with more or less 90 musicians from the Marseille underground scene.

These two agents of chaos grew up together and continue to inspire one another. In each episode of BC, the presenters engage in a short sound improvisation of around three minutes (called the Improv Sequence) with musical instruments or objects found at home or on site.
Over the past seven seasons, they have developed their unique sound during this collective ritual that has become a kind of project of its own.

Recently, Radio Grenouille’s technician, Alex Papi Simonini, searched the archives to make a sound collage of the greatest moments from the Improv Sequence. This special episode gives a glimpse of an ever-evolving creative dialogue.

Bruit Confus & CCDM – Séquences Impro

Bruits Confus sur Radio Grenouille (88.8 Marseille, FR) fondé en 2018 par Billy Guidoni explore  la musique déviante et extrême dans toutes ses formes : noise rock, harsh noise, psyché, math rock, expé, indus, post-hardcore, free rock, no wave, post-punk, black metal etc. Le CCDM (Collectif de Contre-déterminisme Magique) créé en 2019 par Peter Hart, également animateur sur BC, organise régulièrement des concerts d’improvisation libre en ensemble aléatoire, il regroupe plus ou moins 90 musiciens de la scène underground marseillaise.

Ces deux agents du chaos ont grandi ensemble et continuent de s’inspirer l’un l’autre. Dans chaque épisode de BC, les animateurs proposent une courte improvisation sonore d’environ trois minutes (appelée la Séquence Impro) avec des instruments de musique ou des objets qu’ils trouvent chez eux ou sur place.
Au cours des sept saisons, ils ont développé leur propre son lors de ce rituel collectif qui est devenu une sorte de projet à part.
Récemment, le technicien de Radio Grenouille, Alex Papi Simonini, a creusé dans les archives pour faire un collage sonore des meilleurs moments de la Séquence Impro. Cette émission spéciale donne un aperçu d’un dialogue créatif en constante évolution.

Show 986: Five Sonic Spaces – Gardens for dreamers with awaken minds by Rita Silva (for Rádio Zero)

Leave a comment

This piece proposes a sonic journey through the depths of the unconscious mind. Patterns repeat, evolve, mutate and dissipate into other shapes, just like a dream where you can wander freely without ever knowing exactly where you are, when it begins or ends – just a blank space to be filled in the void.

Rita Silva (PT, 1993) is a Portuguese composer and multi-instrumentalist with a focus in analog synthesizers and algorithmic composition.
Part of this year’s roster of Shape +, a renowned european platform for innovative music and art.

Rita released in 2022 her debut album “the inflationary epoch“, which resulted in several media mentions and positive feedback. She has played in venues and festivals such as Out.FEST, Zigurfest, ZDB, GnrATION, Paard, Madeira DIG, The Grey Space In The Middle, among others.

Currently, her research is focused on the use of recursive melodic patterns that can manipulate the listener’s cognitive processes, where the boundaries between sound, space and time are intertwined in a psychoacoustic cosmos.
