This special 12 hour broadcast features full-length audio from The Long Half Day, a 12-hour improvised concert at the /i'klectik/ art lab which took place on Saturday 12th March 2016, featuring Tim Yates, Adam Bushell, Benedict Taylor, Kev Nickells, Chris Parfitt, Diana Policarpo, James O'Sullivan and Dan Powell.

It brings to the page live long-form works from the world’s largest exhibition of radio art, which took place as part of the European Capital of Culture Esch2022. Interspersed with micro-essays on radio form, practice and poetics, and illustrated throughout with unique images, the book performs an exquisite transformation from airwaves to paper and provides a treasury of ideas about radio as art.

Expanding on our collaborative study of Pauline Oliveros' Sonic Meditations Pacific Tell and Energy Changes to mark the winter solstice, Tarik Haskic and Littoral Transmissions open up telepathic communication across time and space with Blanc Sceol (Stephen Shiell & Hannah White), Gardyloo, Shona Handley, and Montañera.

This broadcast is a combined recording of 6 separate performances made simultaneously in 6 locations in Bogota (Columbia), London (UK: Hackney, Newham, New River Studios), Wiltshire (UK, close to Avebury Stones), and a beautiful woven carpet in a tiny countryside house in Slovenia looking at the sea.

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.

The marathon recording alternates between solo works, public speaking and unique coincidental meetings, all streamed live to the world.
