Asphyxia: The "Idiote", the Library Wifi and the Suppressed Safe #3 - Amateur ▾
This third instalment introduces a number of irritants, including roadworks and a malfunctioning audio recorder suddenly beset with earth hum.
Perseveringly, a Zen-like zone is sought whereby the research into the Suppressed Safe can proceed without hindrance; this involves partaking in dubious meditation clickbait and learning to embrace amateurism.
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.

Lepke B # October 1st is too late ▾
Life continues in an ever recomposing cloud filled with the loose threads of number one hit songs. Lepke B is the song harvester, the sound weaver, the cloud buster. Not afraid of popular music and the CD as a format he extracts the epic ingredient as easily as the bombastic, the ironic and yes, the experimental element out of the 70 year history of music for young people. If there will be a need for ‘the periodic table of pop tunes’ some day, the strange ones in the dome will ask Lepke B for advice.
Lepke B is hard to find. Lepke B is an idea derived from science-fiction. Lepke B is the missing dimension in the world of matter and anti-matter. His brain is a neuronic network spread out over melodies and words that have been transmitted since the beginning of times.
