Radio GEN
Radio GEN was a digital exhibition space for sound-based artists: accessible 24hrs a day and observing social distancing guidelines. Perfect listening for a Saturday afternoon weeding the garden, the Monday morning commute, or relieving a 3am anxiety-induced insomnia. Let the art get in through your ears, friend, let it rewrite your neural pathways to a newer and better you.
Robert Thomas James Mills A Walk to Clear My Head
‘A Walk to Clear My Head' is a prose-poem created by allowing the feet, the mind and the words to wander by themselves and wonder with me.
The work was inspired by my daily walks, tongue-twisters and fairytales. It is part documentation; part imagination and part communication.
The work is the beginning of a new series inspired by daily actions and playing with words.
James Stephen Wright The Story of the Verrtebrae and the Whale
The world, us included, is in a constant state of flux. How can we define boundaries between the self and everything around it? As Karen Barad states: “the self is dispersed, diffracted through time and being”. We are all donors of intertwined matter, you bear the traces of the retrograde version of yourself. If we could sonify all of the genetic history, the past, present and virtual future would play all at once, undulating and gelatinous.
The Story of the Vertebrae and the Whale is a tale on structures, fluidity and metamorphoses – come on this journey to explore your own timeless eternity. Recommended position for listening: eyes closed, flailing phantom limbs, wearing pastels. If seated, ensure your head is well padded. Enjoy!
Siri Black …all dead men on holiday
The piece is centred around an unsolved murder case and grave miscarriage of justice. Through the use of montage, the incident slowly materialises, drenched in anecdotal gossip and sweeping statements about life and love. The dripping of a tap and the creaking of floorboards join the shaking voices of the two narrators. The largely silent protagonist is left to piece together anecdotes, misgivings and suspicions to form an albeit fractured account.
The narrative oscillates between fact and fiction, and is loosely based on an encounter with a retired barrister who was researching the murder of Marion Gilchrist that occurred in my flat in Glasgow in 1908. The trial of the suspect caused public outrage at the time, and piqued the interest of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who later published the book 'the Case of Oscar Slater' calling for the full pardon of the suspect. A detective later revealed information which had allegedly been deliberately concealed from the trial by the police. The audio consists of field recordings and interviews with the retired barrister and my grandmother.
Finlay J Hall Chapter Eight
Chapter Eight combines a short walk, ambient music (Both improvised), speculative fiction, narrative poetry, and field recording.
It functions as both documentation of a performance and a piece of music, and is altogether cohesive, I swear.
Peter Eason Daniels It’s Covered
Whilst researching an essay looking at cover songs in proximity to translation, I became fascinated with the space that covers occupy.
Sometimes sweet, sometimes sour.
Existing in no-mans-lands. Surrounded by ideas of ownership, homage, appropriation, comedy and authenticity, they bend genres.
Through this I started to collect. Store away these songs.
Sometimes finding hundreds of iterations of the same thing, listening to hours of the same song.
I with traced their histories. Sometimes these histories were simple, most of the time blurred. Within these histories there were many gems.
This is a mix of some of these gems.
