New and forgotten ways of making radio

radia.fm#1064: Echo Chamber of the Woosphere by Aja Ireland for Radio WORM
Aja Ireland is an award-winning sound and performance artist making deconstructed club and industrial techno.,This radio piece explores the evolution from the Noosphere (the 20th-century vision of a unified global consciousnes() to the fragmented, chaotic Woosphere of today.,100 years ago, scientists imagined a world where human intellect would merge into a divine, collective intelligence. But instead of enlightenment, we’ve entered a gamified reality of chaosmosis—where misinformation moves faster than light, truth bends to algorithmic influence, and quantum woo shapes belief systems.,Through an immersive sound composition, Aja sonified the Woosphere—capturing the dissonance between utopian aspiration and digital-era confusion. Much of the material was recorded in the WORM electronic studio.
#1063: Jet FM Brouillon: Jardin Jardin Brouillon by Sophie Courge-Pinna
Sketchbook Garden is a sound-collection spent wandering through gardens, drawing them; inventing your sketch-garden, planning it to explore it. Adding elements one by one, meticulously crafting your landscape. The author lets us discover what obsesses her in her secret garden: the little beings that inhabit it, the worlds hidden beneath the leaves. Musical ballad, improvisations, poems and audio journals.

This program was assembled by Conduction Series member Jimmy Garver, culled from 81 minutes of collaborative improvisational bursts created by the Conduction Series group.
The Conduction Series is a collaborative live radio broadcast produced by sound and transmission artists across the Americas on Wave Farm’s WGXC 90.7-FM Radio for Open Ears in New York’s Upper Hudson Valley.

Part 2: American novelist, short story writer, essayist, painter, and spoken word performer William S. Burroughs is sonically explored in this episode. Born 100 years ago and died in 1997, Burroughs’ cut-up period — the mid-1950s to mid-1960s — is explored here, with a special focus on Burroughs use of bodies and diseases as transmission metaphors. Ronald De Feo wrote in Modern Occasions in 1972, “in ‘The Ticket that Exploded,’ he scatters among his short-winded and repetitive fantasies a metaphysics, an eschatology, a theory of possession by demonic tape recorders, a theory of sexuality, an assault on advertising as a form of brainwashing, the usual quota of flashbulb-and-firecracker sodomies, and some suggestions for mind-changing party games.” This show cuts-up Burroughs’ words and mixes them with other odd sounds and stories.

There were many Dada’s. They have inhabited different cities, were named with many names, some were left unknown, others nameless. Borderlessness is written all over Dada’s body. She is not offended and she makes offenses. Directing infinity back to its own beginnings makes Dada capable of recurrently establishing clarity. Crossing and dismantling sense out of borders and limits – we know them as obstacles, as constraints, as objects to walk over, dodge and evade. For its destruction and digestion we need Dada that takes the principle of „kakortedragost“ („asyouplease“ – the concept of Dragan Aleksić) to break through the ingrained structures of power. And more radia by RADADAR: a multimedia digestive circuit performative installation took place on 17th December 2020 in Ljubljana, Slovenia as an annual event of Radio Student’s open radio (art-theory) investigative platform RADAR (www.radiostudent.si/radar), hosted by Cirkulacija2, a basement echo chamber residing below the city’s main street.
