A Week in Air # William Joys in Conversation With Paul Clinton

Resonance's new radio art residency programme, A Week in Air, runs throughout July 2026 and culminates in a concert at Iklectik on the 26th. Four artists spend a week each in our new project space, from which they can go live on Resonance Extra whenever they choose, day or night, all the while developing work about the act and art of transmission and the radiophonic medium itself.

We welcome the following artists, composers, writers and performers: Angela Wai Nok Hui, Dora Maludi, William Joys, Neil Luck. Special guest performer Agnès Pe will join our artists in residence for the concert. Devised and curated by Milo Thesiger-Meacham.

In this, William's sixth live broadcast, he is joined in the studio by Paul Clinton.

They talk about performance, trauma narratives, subject formation, subjection and power relations, but also humour and unseriousness. Paul Clinton is a writer based in London.
