In this episode, Nathaniel Mann and Carlos Monleon discuss the activation of different bodies of knowledge and efforts of riverine conservation involved in the process of River Breathing.

River Breathing is an immersive sound installation in which the audience can experience the breathing of the rivers Ebro, Segre and other affluents as a symphony composed of the life cycles of the various species that participate in the pulse of the river. The protagonists of the installation are a choir of naiads, or freshwater clams, which are endangered throughout the Iberian Peninsula but especially in Catalonia and Aragon due to the relentless denaturing of their habitats ,the threat of several invasive (let's call them vigorous!) species, and increasing levels of river pollution.

This choir embodies and gives voice to the river, as the mythological Naiads -spirits of fountains and rivers in ancient Greece- once did. The work transforms scientific models of the metabolism of the Ebro river and its affluents based on historical and real-time data available through sensors and remote sensing systems into multi-channel sound in collaboration with musicians and the help of computer scientists from the UdL (University of Lleida) and biologists from IRTA (Catalunya) and IPE (Aragón).

A series of metabolic scores are produced from the data to be interpreted by musicians , the final composition is completed with underwater recordings of the clams in their conservation tanks. The installation consists of a sculptural sound system made in ceramics and other materials designed in collaboration with sound engineers. A lighting scheme completes the installation.

One of the project’s aims is to make known the complexity of the life of rivers and the delicate nature of maintaining their balance as a way of establishing a relationship of proximity with them and forming emotional bonds of care and responsibility with riparian ecosystems.

Scientific advisor: Rosa Maria Gil. River ecology: Enrique Navarro and Francisco Comín. Clam conservation work: Keiko Nakamura. Sound composition and lighting: Santiago Latorre. Castanets: Miguel Ángel Berna.

Carlos Monleon works with a variety of processes and materials, both living and non-living, that result in sculptural and participatory artworks.These span across different levels of bodily sensation and awareness; from the microbiological to the performative and social bodies. His main line of work traces evolutionary processes that stem from digestion and cognition and result in the distribution of biological processes across multi-species entanglements and cybernetic metabolisms.

Carlos has developed collaborative projects at spaces such as Autoitalia, Seventeen Gallery and Diaspore Project Space, London, Cráter Invertido, Mexico, Hangar, Lisbon as well as institutions such as CA2M, and Matadero, Madrid, HIAP Helsinki, and has shown his individual practice at LUMA Arles, Z33, Istanbul Design Biennial, Porto Design Biennial or the Tallin Biennial amongst others.

Nathaniel Mann (born 1982) is an experimental composer, performer and sound designer. Oscillating between music and sound, Mann has a compositional practice that is expansive in scope and varied in form. He takes on many roles in his work, including researcher, instrument-maker, archive-digger, surround-sound designer, filmmaker, broadcaster, storyteller, producer, curator, entrepreneur, sonic-artist and folksinger. He is also one third of the experimental folk ensemble, Dead Rat Orchestra.

Mann’s compositions probe history, politics and audio culture, resisting established formats and frameworks for creating music. Each work is crafted, adapted and nuanced towards its setting, fuelled by continued dialogue and collaboration with professionals and enthusiasts from varied fields. These have included filmmakers, musicians, visual artists, academics, curators, a pigeon fancier and a swordsmith.

Mann has explored many subjects including the colonial residue of recorded music in South Africa, in dialogue with Andile Vellum, a deaf dancer/choreographer based in Cape Town (Cape Sound Stories, 2016); the psycho-geographic horror of England’s public execution sites (Tyburnia, 2014-17); and the deeply rooted traditions interlinking noise and social control, creating bronze musical meat cleavers with swordsmith Neil Burridge (Rough Music, 2014). He was awarded the Paul Hamlyn Award 2019, Arts Foundation Fellow 2018 and his work Pigeon Whistles (2013), a flying orchestra of flute-carrying Birmingham Roller pigeons, won the George Butterworth Prize for Composition in 2015.

"If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration" ––– Nikola Tesla

Sounds of electromagnetic waves, overlapping frequencies of unfathomable spaces - magical, fleeting and touching, these are the electro-poetic worlds of sound that Reni Hofmüller opens up with the antennas of her Resonating Sculptures. Radiation emissions from the natural and human-made world, the cosmos and the technological environment transformed into sounds: hissing, crackling, hissing, whistling, vibrating, clanking and clicking, humming, buzzing, vibrating and booming, voices, tones and sounds from the radio.

Since 2012, the media artist, musician, composer, organiser and activist has been working with communication spaces that are created and characterised through the use of antennas and interpreted musically and improvisationally in live sets. The sculptures are mobile, small, heavy, expansive, they reference places and spaces for which they were designed, and they each have their own history of creation.

These are reflected in the forms as well as the spectrum of what they receive. Eight Resonating Sculptures have been created over the past eleven years. In April 2024, a new series of antennas based on the water systems – rivers, drinking water canals and sewage – will open in Scala, Tabakalera, San Sebastian.

As early as the end of the 19th century, Nikola Tesla picked up signals from Jupiter during his first radio experiments and interpreted them using his imagination. The Resonating Sculptures appeal to this power of imagination in the same way as the blue of the deep when diving in the sea or the noise of the radio between the transmitters that suggest a potential, a maybe, a possibly. Hofmüller: "The world opens up for me from my world of sound."

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

The first Atmospheric Densities show in six months, and of course that means there is a lot to listen to! We go deep with Cody Yantis' new album Opticks, a meditation on the landscape of America's Southwest made from two field recordings and one synthesiser.

We also dip into two release from the label late last year: Metal the energetic collaboration between Czech inventor and musician Petr Válek and improvisers Ondřej Merta and Jara Tarnovski, performed in part on Válek's metal sculptures. And Liz Helman's drone and field recording work The Colour of Water produced out of her daily ritual of walking in London.

I had a few things which came out late last year so I play a few pieces from these releases, namely: A Field Guide to Phantasmic Birds, and my ode to sauerkraut On cabbages, salt, bacteria and transformations.

And we close with the two pieces from Soundwalkscapes the forthcoming album from the legendary improviser Viv Corringham who has an album launch at Hundred Years Gallery on March 15th. Be there or miss out!

Experiments in exploring humanity with Keno Westhoff of http://klanglabor.ayayay.eu.

Communiques from Thanet Tape Centre, Hard drive sludge. audio tidal pools. Music sediment. Friends utterances, sea walls of noise, salt marsh drone.

The compilation brings together new and recent projects by composers Olivia Block (US), Cassandra Miller (CA/UK) and Andrew Hamilton (IE/UK), with Sheen’s eponymous Croon Harvest (2021–ongoing) as a central starting point.

The programme explores music in a situated and embodied state, floating on noise and quiet sounds, peeling off from the brink of silence towards a good old sing-along. In each work, the voice occupies a different space in relation to other sounds, the body, technology, or notions of memory and tradition.

The project is part of Musarc’s work with contemporary composers and the ensemble’s commitment to new music – brittle and radical, in need of projection as well as protection and advocacy. The choir was joined by musicians from the Royal College of Music and Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music & Dance.

Instrumentalists: Cara Houghton (flute), Rowan Jones (clarinet), Michelle Hromin (bass clarinet), Andrew Hamilton (viola), Andrew Liddell (viola), Rebecca Burden (cello), Steve Potter (piano).
