Zéro Propos is a Lausanne-based hyperjective poetry group created in 2020 by Gäel Bandelier and Gilles Furtwängler. Following three residencies at *Duuu radio in Paris in 2021 and 2022, the group gave birth to the Zéro Propos. Zéro titre project, which is a double album of 13 tracks.

From scraps of sentences picked up in the street, on the internet, everywhere, they write with four hands, little by little, cutting, pasting, adding, mixing words and phonemes. The result is a material of sentences mixing everyday life, concrete and abstract poetry.

Composed by Gaël Bandelier and Gilles Furtwängler of Zéro Propos, and performed by Gaël Bandelier, Rachel Bazaïda, Sarah Calas, Martine Chesnau, Sarah Salomé Delétain, Gilles Furtwängler, Delphine Herscovici, Lucienne Larue, Michel Larue, Angeline Ostinelli, Anne-Marie Petit, Clara Rodriguez and Marielle Soca.

Continuing our study of combining Pauline Oliveros' Sonic Meditations Pacific Tell and Energy Changes, Tarik Haskic (Slovenia) and Littoral Transmissions (UK) attempt to open up telepathic communication across time and space.

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.

In this episode, Dronica meets Eraldo Bernocchi for our first guest mix of the year.

Eraldo Bernocchi is an Italian composer, arranger, producer and guitarist with a solid reputation as an all round sonic sculptor. Starting his career in the late 70’s, Eraldo co-founded the conceptual audio project SIGILLUM S, a highly acclaimed international cult act.

In the 90’s, together with his wife, the visual artist Petulia Mattioli, Eraldo established Verba Corrige Productions, which became the base for a raft of notable audio visual projects and cooperations.

A relentless sound explorer, Eraldo Bernocchi has collaborated with numerous artists including Mick Harris, Bill Laswell (official), Nils Petter Molvaer, Harold Budd, Russell Mills, Toshinori Kondo, Raiz, Almamegretta, Spectre, Sensational, DJ Disk, Professor Shebab, Thomas Fehlmann, Zu, DJ Olive, Markus Stockhausen, Giovanni Lindo Ferretti, Robin Guthrie, Colin Edwin and Balazs Pandi, among many others.

In addition to regular work scoring music for adverts and other multimedia projects, Eraldo has composed film music for Academy Award winner Gabriele Salvatores and produced numerous art installations with Petulia Mattioli, as well as other artists including Russell Mills and Harold Budd.
Uniquely, Eraldo is also known for being invited to play and organise several special events for H.H. The Dalai Lama in Italy.

In 2008, together with music lover Giacomo Bruzzo, Eraldo founded RareNoise Records, a new London based label, which aims to showcase a wide range of cutting edge music. The label has since become an important conduit championing several forward thinking and original artists, as well as releasing a number of Eraldo’s own recordings, including with Tony Wakeford, Colin Edwin, Ted Parsons just to name a few.

In may 2018, the long awaited Cy Twombly documentary film soundtrack album he composed, was presented at MoMA The Museum of Modern Art NYC. After that, many other great collaborations and releases followed, such as the duo with electronic music wonder Nadia Struiwigh or the duo with Gareth Davis among others. Eraldo recently released an amazing new solo work as SIMM on the excellent Ohm Resistance.

Eraldo presents a selection of music and speech (in the following order) by Gaudi, Nadia Struiwigh, Mark Stewart & Nadia Struiwigh, Nils Petter Molvaer, Nils Petter Molvaer, Paolo Bandera, Nils Petter Molvaer, Nadia Struiwigh, Alex Patterson, Leon Switch, Hoshiko Yamane, Paolo Bandera & Jo Quail, Christopher Chaplin, Colin Edwin, Jo Quail, Midori Hirano.

Welcome to walkplacedistancetime.

Walking, movement in place, in air, distance through time.

Walk south, cross the burn at the ford, walk through birchwood, pass the milepost to stand and look, turn, walk down the slope to the beach, back from Hallaig.

It’s spring time and we’re finally feeling the rays on our faces. Take a dip in this month’s Soundbath on Resonance extra, with a light shower of ambient electronic and soft vocals, drifting around a beautiful chat with multidisciplinary artist and Foldable Sounds day 1 trooper, Elena Lo Presti.

Foldable Sounds’ Daniela Maria Geraci shares in a moving conversation with the Italian, London-based artist, discussing her practice of ‘giving importance to the tiny things’ via ceramics, retelling generational stories and the proliferation of craft as an act of caregiving.

Recline, take a moment. This one’s a wild ride of emotions, so settle into these swirling depths.

The Foldable Sounds Collective presents Foldable Soundbath. The collective formed during the April 2020 lockdown and is composed of three artists: Daniela Maria Geraci, Lucy Rose Cunningham and Isabelle Pead. Individually dealing with sound as an archival, performative and narrational tool, collectively they interrogate sound’s potential to sonically transport the imagination outside one’s four walls, drawing on a global need for freedom of movement.
