Colliding Lines #10 - Helicotrema

Colliding Lines present live sessions, cross-genre collaborations and left-field recordings drawn from the London, UK and international experimental scenes; a long-form love letter to recorded audio as soundtrack, as sound art and as storyteller.

This episode is curated by Helicotrema, an Italy-based recorded audio festival investigating and instigating collective listening experiences. Inspired by the first decades of radio broadcasting, the festival is set up like a screenless film festival. In locations that vary year-to-year, audiences are invited to immerse themselves in radio plays, narrative sound works, audio documentaries and poetry, experimenting with how the listening experience can be influenced and enriched by different social and environmental contexts. In 2020 – when it’s especially important to emphasise the communal, physically-present elements of listening – their ninth festival took place in a renowned athletics stadium, and the programme was broadcast beyond that into the surrounding neighbourhood.
