Olivia Cirisan (b. 2001) is a musician of many kinds. A percussionist, singer/songwriter, composer, producer and audio engineer, Olivia’s work is often collaborative, cross-genre and experimental. As a composer, songwriter and producer, Olivia is inspired by everything and anything.

Having written songs for as long as she can remember, Olivia combines her percussion training, her love of electronic production and her songwriting experience to make music that swims amongst both popular and unconventional idioms. Most recently, this is exemplified by her 2024 record, MIDDLES, as well as her newest record with VIRID, Slow Images, released in October of 2025.

Olivia’s work has been showcased internationally, on radio shows like Brighton, UK’s 1BTN.FM, Latvia’s NABA FM 95.8 and Berlin’s Refuge Worldwide radio. Olivia has been a finalist for the 2022 Petrichor Music Competition, and her work has been featured in the 2023 Maker Music Festival.

Olivia is technical director and percussionist of FLYDLPHN, a mixed chamber sextet based in southeastern Michigan dedicated to the commissioning of early-career composers as well as extensive use of electro-acoustic, multimedia, and improvised performance. She also performs with her duo VIRID, an amorphous percussion and multimedia duo that exists between experimental, contemporary classical and popular music genres.

Olivia has also worked on notable projects such as John Luther Adams’ GRAMMY-nominated recording of Sila: The Breath of the World, the premieres of Michael Gordon’s Field of Vision and The Forest of Metal Objects at the Met Cloisters in NYC, and A New Age for New Age, Vol. 5. A collaborator at heart, she has premiered over 35 chamber and solo works by various composers. Olivia studies Balinese Gamelan as well, and was a 2024 Graduate Fellow in the Center for World Performance Studies at the University of Michigan.

The first hour of this episode features original audio by Patchfutures spanning poetry, bass knowledge, grub grammar, grot graphology, and banana.

"It’s still the speeding car and the dust it leaves behind in the cartoon. It’s still the cloud of dust with the fist leaching out. The reaching out. Peeling off and ticking.

Bass knowledge and the poking bottle. Pokey ole.

Under the pressure of alien taunt. "Everything is recorded through speech marks”. The cheeky knowledge of the groated clay. Twisted way. A taint of packaging revolves in the weerd. A nod to nodding itself, a nod to blinking yourself awake.

A square of Black, flecked, Dusty, woollen. Just peeling at the edge there. Rounded by chance and folded it just underneath there. And It’s starting to peel towards you. It looks like it knows what its doing. Something so undeniable, it’s peeling soft square has aa thickness beyond its means.

Rascal Arts is an approach of cheeky darkness, of 'cheeky darkness approaching' oiling lick of flame, oorange warmth of the fire and the smoke. When you watch your soul twist.

Expect monomutations of excessive depth and pressure. Expect mastard beautations of ailing scrawl. Expect the banana to watch your step instead of you fearing 'the skidding’."

Commissioned new work from contemporary sound practitioners and other audio choices from experimental electronic collective The Spirit of Gravity.

Andrew Backhouse is an artist and radio geek based in North Yorkshire who has always loved radio and sees it as a place for exploration, not answers.

Carefull footsteps along the bank, around horizontal branches, embracing the space. This episode features special guest Timothy Wall.

The recording was made over the Easter Bank Holiday nestled between the trees beside the banks of the River Lea.

Littoral Transmissions meander through the sonic landscape of the River Lea from Stonebridge Lock to Leamouth. Recordings from the field converge with layers of sound to create an aural impression of the navigation.

Narrative is in a pretty pickle without the culture of experimental theatricals tossing off their posing pouches and expressing with wild abandon but, today in the studios of Soundart Radio, almost everybody is naked! That's because devised theatre, in the most magical of spaces - the radiophonic environment - is back! Ghosts! Witchcraft! Savoury jelly! Welcome to the future dramaturgy! May or may not involve contributions from interstellar intelligences.

Shuffle by Agnès Pe is a formula radio programme taken to the extreme: repetitive, obscure and humorous. Each episode presents obscure covers of a single song. “Anything that spreads by imitation or spreads by bodily reproduction, like genes, or by viral infection is a meme” - (Richard Dawkins, 2013).

Second in a series of twelve annual events taking place on December 12 from noon to midnight noon to midnight EST (9-9 PST, 11-11 CST, 17-05 GMT, 18-06 CET, 1-13 CST, 2-14 KST). Each year the event moves through each word of the 12-word phrase: 'you and I are water earth fire air of life and death' and activates the word of the year in myriad ways.

This year the word is ‘and’, consequently the focus is on repetitions, conjunctions, and duos. Last year it started with ‘you’, this year we connect you to anything and everything, we connect you to what you are together-with. Or, we get stuck in the very act that ‘and’ opens up, into the enormity that the so-what-next that ‘and’ implies.

‘And’ is all possibilities in a nutshell.
