Here they present Suspension of Belief, a piece for rock-climber, writer, field recordings, music. Suspension of Belief combines live rock-climbing with text and sound (both musical and incidental) in a specifically radiophonic work made for the pan-European series Intimacy and Distance.

While boulder-champion Gaz Parry takes his friend Kate Mills up the forbidding cliff face of the Col d'Ifac in Alicante, veteran soloist Jim Perrin meditates on the meaning of rock climbing from a studio in France. Gaz can't hear Jim. Jim can't hear Gaz. The two meet only in radio, on an equal footing with the production team and the listener. Conceived and produced by Ed Baxter and Chris Weaver. Engineers: Nick Hamilton (London), Bob Drake (Caudeval). Music: Max O'Brien. Announcer: Richard Thomas. Mixdown: Michael Sinden.

This Internet Audio Cyclotron (IAC) spans 15,000 kilometres between London and Dallas, Texas and operates a sonic feedback loop each cycle of which partially destroys the original signal. This sonic erosion causes new textures, artefacts and forms to emerge, akin to an eroded landscape.

Aurosion is a collaborative, long-form performance by Kassia Flux (sound artist, composer and scientist), and Justin Gagen (musician, digital anthropologist and computational musicologist) in which field recordings from locales including the laboratory and the jungle are fed into an auto-destructive, algorithmic and transatlantic feedback loop.
