"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 of Dingus.

Finnegan: Cory Peterson. O’Rourke and Elmsdood: David Menkin. Peterson: Joseph Balderrama. Frances: Kelly Burke. Written, directed and produced by Mike Cooter.

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.

It is a damaged would-be radio documentary exploring the Narnia of restricted access material and gatekept employment.

This episode features mixes by Liis Ring (Rapina, Estonia) and Ayami Suzuki (Tokyo).

In the first half of the episode, Liis Ring sketches us a sonic portrait of Räpina - a small town in the South East of Estonia. In among field recordings collected on her walks around the town and original music recorded in her grandmother's shed, Ring shines a light on the musical heritage of the area via folk tunes (sung in the local dialect) and new adaptations of traditional pieces.

The second half sees Ayami Suzuki explore the sounds of life in Tokyo; the hum of train station platforms, the buzz of cicadas in the forest, the summer tradition of the Awa Odori dance. Nestled among these sounds are selections from the city's contemporary experimental music scene.

Each month, First Light Records invites two artists to take an unplanned journey with a microphone around their city to curate an hour-long mix. Each show captures the unique atmosphere of a city from each artist's perspective, through music and found sound.
