Asphyxia: The "Idiote", the Library Wifi and the Suppressed Safe #13 - Motivation

with Daniel R. Wilson
Saturday 27th January 2024 15:00 - 16:00 GMT

Originally commissioned in 2022 as part of Radio Art Zone's tapestry of 22-hour radio productions, this project by Daniel R. Wilson is re-presented here in episodic form. Asphyxia hacks the antagonising systems which thwart and forestall projects (its name also acknowledges the asphyxiating atmosphere of long-form radio when made by a single person). It is a damaged would-be radio documentary exploring the Narnia of restricted access material and gatekept employment.

Intertwining themes of motivations and justifications form the central nervous ganglia of this instalment.

Loosen your tolerance threshold and listen in, as some of the loose ends regarding the new genre 'creepbeat' (introduced previously) are tied up, followed by rantings at the TV, then a phone call of dubious audio quality is received from a friend who formerly worked at Oxford Street's HMV where a strange diary was discovered inside an abandoned bungalow on the roof of the iconic music store.

If the aforementioned has not whetted appetites, meat is provided in the form of reports of Pure Volunteering workplace trespass incidents. Pure Volunteering is a mode of work which mocks the divide between the employed and unemployed, causing untold fuss.
