Asphyxia: The "Idiote", the Library Wifi and the Suppressed Safe #4 - Bells

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.

This fourth instalment of Asphyxia begins to interrogate the distractions which beset the British Library Suppressed Safe research.

By focussing and exploring the exact nature of the individual elements in the web of frustration, an experiment in 'drift' ensues, whereby any clues to possible research angles are gleaned, and synchronicities sought. Some brass bells are found in a bin, as well.
