Welcome to walkplacedistancetime.

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

In this episode: Iceland ... every three hours for 24 hours ... eight times ... daag einn I juni ... I stand and look east across the fell to the obelisk. Beyond it the northern shoulder of Burfell rises then slips away off its hog’s back summit.

Stand and listen to the plaintive pipe of the Golden Plover and the croak of the Snipe.

Stand … then move off ... down the slope; through the Marsh Marigolds; over the stream; cross two fences; cross the horse paddock to the leaning post; along the horse path; around to the fence to the left; over the fence; cross four streams; pass the waterfall; cross the marsh; cross the stream on stones; up the slope to gap in ridge; up the slope to the lip; around the obilisk; pause; retrace my steps ... eight walks ... eight sections ... split ... re-built ... into a day at random ... eight movements ... this is movement 6.

This episode is contribution by Kanal 103.

The Whole World Stopped… is a collaborative compilation of field recordings, a patchwork of making music and narrating, underedited ad hoc experiment, and also a celebration of friendship, a soundscape where two friends meet—Joana and Stefan, both of them colleagues at Kanal 103.

Joana is a multi-instrumentalist, though her main focus is classical guitar. She does use both classical and electric guitar throughout the recording, as well as bontempi electro-acoustic keyboard and goblet drum. Three minutes into this experimental piece, you can hear Stefan’s voice, first telling about a street scene he witnessed downtown Skopje, then reading a poem from Elizabeth Bishop (“At the Fishhouses”) and a short story from Franz Kafka (“Before the Law”). Finally, in the conclusion, a fusion of washing machine centrifuge and a mandola played with a violin bow.

The work is an undisguised communication between music and storytelling, scarcely premeditated, if at all. Most of it is recorded at Partizan Print, a studio of independent artists in Skopje, and very good friends and collaborators with Kanal 103.

Created by Joana Risteska, classic guitar master and multi-instrumentalist, and Stefan Alijevikj, fiction writer and sound seeker. You can follow their radio shows on Kanal 103 Sunday and Tuesday evenings respectively.

Members of Radia, the international group of independent cultural radio stations, explore new and forgotten ways of making radio.

This episode: rewind back to the late '70s and early '80s, when genre boundaries fell away and gave birth to one of the most fertile periods in contemporary music - post-punk.

And The People Are Blowing Their Minds” - with music from Systematics (pictured), Ya Ya Choral, SPK, Severed Heads, Essendon Airport, Scattered Order, Makers of the Dead Travel Fast, Laughing Hands and more.

Kinn’s show this month marks a departure from the “hour of tune after tune” format. Each month Kinn will ask a guest to collaborate with them on re-contextualising, remixing and extending music from their discography. They will create the majority of an hour of entirely new and unheard music.

This month's guest is Klaar (Joe Shakespeare), who co-founded the Berlin/London based Label Knives alongside Kuedo (Vex’d).
As Klaar, he provides a 30 minute guest mix of unheard and re-contextualised content, as well as working with Kinn to remix his latest release SYLVAN (on Knives).

Channelling an array of fervent interests in many genres through different mediums (Film, Music, Sound Art and more), Kinn - the brooding-electronics project of London based artist Freddy Lomas - and his guests use original soundscapes and compositions to weave together an original concept for each month's show.

This episode focuses on field recordings, fidelity and the SoundWork and featuring tracks from Moniek Darge, Helmut Lemke, Luc Ferrari, and Graham Lambkin & Jason Lescalleet.
