Asphyxia was originally broadcast as a 22-hour single transmission by Radio Art Zone, and, as can be expected, this final hour is an implosion under the gravity.

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.
