"A geography of sound [...] is the geography of encounters, misses, happenstance and events: invisible trajectories and configurations between people and things, unfolding in the dimension of the actual while formlessly forming the dimensions of its possibility" – Salomé Voegelin, The Political Possibility of Sound
In this piece, called halls (joining), Barkani continues his exploration of combining field recordings and minimal/reductionist instrumentals, to compose and perform imagined, semi-coincidental, (what Voegelin calls) “impossible territories”.

Radia #1008 - Zärtlich Geht Die Welt Zugrunde: Still Looking for Medusa by Nina M. W. Queissner & Linda Weiss ▾
Zärtlich Geht Die Welt Zugrunde: Still Looking for Medusa is a tribute to corals, the sensitive critters of Gaia’s underwater realms, showcasing their profound ability to forge symbiotic relationships. Corals, as holobionts for zooxanthellae, epitomize interdependence; as reefs, they offer shelter to many marine creatures; as strong formations, they modulate the ocean’s ebb and flow into gentler currents. As the ancient ancestors of Medusa, they hold the spirit of nature’s often misunderstood and transformative powers. Medusa herself, a female figure of Greek mythology, represents the recurring theme of metamorphosis and the complex dynamics of power and seduction, banished to safeguard the male gaze.
Through a rich saturation of marine bioacoustics, noise pollution, mythic tones, Nina M. W. Queißner and Linda Weiß beckon you to immerse yourself in the deep, dark blue soundscape. Here, lose your way, welcome the feeling of otherness, and give yourself to the waves of yearning, and acknowledge cold shivers. Picture Medusa, whose symbiosis sustains the life that thrives beneath the waves.
Underwater sound recordings: Coral reefs (Red Sea, Egypt), shipping traffic on the Main River and the English Channel of the Alabaster Coast; additional sound recordings: Baking soda in water, hot oil, ice cubes, crystal glass and water, tadpoles, rain on polyamide, etc., synthesizer, melodica, Sansa. Concept and production: Nina M. W. Queissner.
Nina M. W. Queissner adopts a poetic and research-oriented approach using recording technologies and soundscape composition to explore the experiential dimensions of sound and listening, closely integrated with multidisciplinary concepts of landscape and environment. Linda Weiß creates immersive installations that examine the dynamics of shared spaces, engaging in dialogue with more-than-human collaborators such as fungi and bacteria.
Together, they work on the ongoing project *Looking for Medusa that invites audiences on a journey through past and future mythologies. Starting with Ovid’s Metamorphoses, the project weaves together references from cosmologies and ecosystems to create an experimental habitat for speculative future coral creatures. Their audio-visual installation was first exhibited at the Senckenberg Nature Museum in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, in 2023. More on their research at tempe-corals.tumblr.com.

Shuffle #3 - L’Amour Tojours or I’ll Fly With You ▾
In this episode: a guest, Literally.
L’amour toujours also named "I'll Fly with You" is a song co-written and recorded by the Italian DJ Gigi D'Agostino. The title "L'amour toujours" means "love every day" in French. However, the song is recorded entirely in English and the title does not appear in the lyrics.
The song was released to American clubs and dance radio in July 2000. In Europe, the song was released in October 2000. The song is from D'Agostino's 1999 album of the same name. Ola Onabule is the vocalist of this song. He performs all the vocals on the track and on all versions of the song. In 2001, the song became extremely popular in the American dance club scene. It became an international success and a huge hit throughout Europe, Latin America and Asia.
In this edition of Shuffle, get ready to listen to the most weird and mind-blowing covers and drifts of “L’amour toujours“ from the inventor of lento violento, Gigi d’Agostino. There's no order, no lists, just exclusive, overwrought fandom material. Marching bands, violinists, catholics, life lovers, soundcloud stars, ambient addicts, ... all are welcome in Shuffle mode.
Shuffle by Agnès Pe is a formula radio programme taken to the extreme: repetitive, obscure and humorous. Each episode presents obscure covers of a single song. “Anything that spreads by imitation or spreads by bodily reproduction, like genes, or by viral infection is a meme” - (Richard Dawkins, 2013).

ENGLAND'S COUNCIL OF LEGISLATION AND GOVERNING BODY OF HYPERREAL SIMULATIONS AND CONSTRUCTS #5 - It’s Blood Moon, Text Me Now! ▾
This first show of 2022 brings together a set of musical sketches composed of semi-meaningful audio messages (such as the piece the name of the show is deriving from) on WhatsApp/Telegram and a few ideas/demos to be sold/exchanged (these sadly were unsuccessful…) on the DarkNet markets of music production and sound design.
On a personal note, this monthly practice of creating an hour long musical piece (must note last two including this one is very poor in terms of composition as they were made in great hurry and with limited resources) was a meaningful way of not-entirely-forgetting about some material which I knew wouldn’t make it to any album under any alias and otherwise would be lost in the oblivion of my external hard drives and my stupid mind.
However, finishing the last piece, I realised this time in a regressive manner, this mix inspired the missing and last piece of the trilogy of albums and a number of visual and literary pieces I have been working on for some time now. Given my rather personal relationship with Nick Drake (even considering the references on the previous album), I again am reminded how magical Lyfe really can be hearing him sing the words I wrote for a friend and didn’t even realise that the hyper-fiction after all did bleed into reality as a message on WhatsApp. Though I must confess, hearing it during our morning tea, my mum felt rather sorry for the Poor Boy :-)
Lastly, as ever, this mix too includes some modular sketches as well. These were inspired by Coil’s ‘Time Machines’ - However must note these stupid ass things didn’t work (yet).
Have a lovely 2022 everyone and keep in mind that the first DOOM took place in 2022 :/ !! xoxo
