Sideways research continues apace... This instalment of Asphyxia sees the return of a mysterious polymath possessed of unspecific 'inside information'.

Chit-chat about data security ensues (covertly recorded, ironically). Following this, the narrator bluffs his way past the security cabin at the Midland Road entrypoint to the British Library's goods yard, where a bin-dive yields an unknown writer's diaries, discarded by the library for uncertain reasons.

Meanwhile, the use of tin-foil to eliminate electromagnetic interference is trialled upon the narrator's Zoom recorder which is susceptible to 50Hz hum.

Originally commissioned in 2022 as part of Radio Art Zone's tapestry of 22-hour radio productions, this project by Daniel R. Wilson is re-presented here in episodic form. Asphyxia hacks the antagonising systems which thwart and forestall projects (its name also acknowledges the asphyxiating atmosphere of long-form radio when made by a single person). It is a damaged would-be radio documentary exploring the Narnia of restricted access material and gatekept employment.

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 1.
