Joined by Montañera, we tune into the old river lea, slowly dialling in to sonic portals that open momentarily amongst the water's rushing static ... knee deep amongst the reeds, others sound out the filterbeds for riverine life ... “two fish!”... “occupational hazard”...

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.

"Nobody is entitled to simply walk into a business and work there. If there were no quality control safeguards in place, we would just have chaos." So grumbled some self-serving 'authority figure' circa 2012.

As if to wave a middle finger at the naysayers' edicts, the narrator continues to pursue 'pure volunteering', and interrogates concepts of "quality", "safeguards", "place", "have" and "chaos" via a palimpsest of found media, ranting, and cool, calculated disgrace.

Parallel to this, research continues into the contentious forbidden book, supposedly locked in the uncatalogued portion of the British Library's Suppressed Safe.

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.

"It was a shape around something else, like everything..."

Dingus is a six-part radio drama produced by CBS and recorded at the height of the 1943 flu pandemic that swept through Hollywood. Denied of a marquee cast and blighted by a curious obsession with the object that drives its narrative, this innovative and formally-reflexive oddity disappeared almost completely without trace. In 2010 artist Mike Cooter set out to find and rehabilitate this elusive artefact, initiating an 12-year journey that culminates in the re-emergence tonight of Dingus.

Cast: John Dingus: Mitchell Mullen. Male Narrator: John Christian Bateman. Female Narrator: Alexandra Metaxa. Lieutenant Johanssen: Colin Stinton. Veronica Marden: Christy Meyer. Finnegan: Cory Peterson. O’Rourke and Elmsdood: David Menkin. Peterson: Joseph Balderrama. Frances: Kelly Burke. Written, directed and produced by Mike Cooter. Editor and assistant producer: Jim Whelton. Composer: Jobina Tinnemans.

Commissioned by Resonance FM. Supported by The Jerwood Trust, The Elephant Trust and The Henry Moore Foundation.
