Radia #1060 - In the Waiting Room by Kyriakos Plsds

Members of Radia, the international group of independent cultural radio stations, explore new and forgotten ways of making radio.

This episode is a contribution by Kanal 103.

In the Waiting Room is a sound performance first presented at To Pikap record store in Thessaloniki, Greece, as part of the art exhibition Empty Chairs, which took place in April, 2025.

The piece draws inspiration from Giannis Skarimpas short story “Three Empty Chairs” – a ghost tale that subtly shifts between the comic and the uncanny. In this work, Skarimpas’ peculiar language is stripped away to be reassembled through sound, a world of scattered fragments, stray echoes, and uncertain sequences – what is said and what remains unsaid.

Kyriakos Plsds: composition and digital programming, electroacoustic guitar, field recordings, vocals. Eleonora Siarava: voice. Recorded and mixed by Kyriakos Plsds. Mastered by Christos Megan.
