This month we celebrate the release of H O M E, a new anthology of visual poetry featuring eleven collaborations between designers and poets. Graphic artists reinterpret the poets' words into a new visual piece, created between the two mediums, so this month we started with the question: what makes meaningful design? Introducing some of our poets to their corresponding designers for the first time, the show features work by Nikki Marrone, Daisy Thurston-Gent, Iris Colomb and Wesley Freeman-Smith.

The anthology is scored in an audio interpretation by Nick Murray, and we are joined by featured poet-musicians Antosh Wojcik and Aidan Baker – talking about Nadja's new record Luminous Rot.

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 3.

Summer 2022’s monumental Radio Art Zone allowed me the opportunity to work with the best actor of his generation, Steffan Cennydd, who I’d seen on the tv a few times and who luckily was free for a day to record a whole bunch of pieces. These are presented in a sequence here, four in English and one in his native Welsh. The idea in each is not to attempt a traditional radio play nor to produce a classic dramatic monologue. Rather each of these pieces tries to create a psychological object. They are all deliberately elliptical, fragmentary, allusive, but share some underlying themes (obsessions perhaps) and, inevitably, language. Ultimately it’s the actor’s voice that makes them work - you’ll hear that, I think. - Ed Baxter

Radical Translations is an interdisciplinary project which explores the role of translation in the spread of radical, democratic ideas during and after the French Revolution. The students translated the manifesto during a series of workshops led by the poet and translator Cristina Viti.

They also interpreted and adapted the text to the stage with the help of the dramaturge Simon Hatab and the French theatre collective La Phenomena, in a dialogue with the work of Jean-Jacques Rousseau and the philosopher Jacques Rancière, as well as the music of Mozart in The Marriage of Figaro (1786), culminating in a performance at Sands Films Studio in London.

An audio essay and documentary which follows a group of students from King’s College London as they translate The Manifesto of Equals (1796) by Sylvain Maréchal from one language, time and context into another, but also to the stage in the presentation of Performing Utopia. Written and produced by Patrick Bernard, it explores how politics, theatre and translation transform our understanding of the world, and reflect a desire to make words and ideas manifest. For more information visit Tenement Press who are publishing an anthology of radical translations, An Anarchist Playbook, in January 2024.

Neil Luck is a musician based in the UK. His work takes a range of forms from music-theatre, to concert works, radio, public projects and recordings, and is the founder and director of the experimental music ensemble ARCO.

Eden Box is an album of songs, dances and vérité recordings written and produced largely on the edge of a South German forest. They all play with the process of mediating, editing, and reframing raw acoustic materials, many of which were captured outside and on the hoof. The album title is a reference to the 20th century British artist of the same name (well, their pseudonym) whose naive style brought together ideas of nature, man’s place with it, and christian iconography into strange symbolist compositions.

Additional performers and collaborators:
Binghi (Isheja Cheryl), Adam de la Cour, Monika Czyżyk, Margaret Luck, Chihiro Ono, Benedict Taylor, Athina Vahla.

​
Written, recorded, and produced by Neil Luck. Mastered by Simon Davey at The Exchange. CD artwork Kapha by Monika Czyżyk. Book and case design by Joseph Kohlmaier at Cours de Poétique. Recorded and produced at Akademie Schloss Solitude Stuttgart, EMS Stockholm, Colourscape Clapham, at home in London, and in the woods of Tonbridge.

​
Sensible Activities is an essay, and an illustrated book of musical-sensory exercises to be enacted alone or in groups, outdoors. They all relate to an ongoing live project of Neil’s that has manifested as a series of walks and excursions with willing participants and musicians in various countries around the world.

Several of these activities link directly with particular tracks on Eden Box; track 2 features a prototype activity offered by Athina Vahla during a nighttime walk just outside Stuttgart. Track 3 is a demonstration of leaf blowing (p. 34), and track 6 is an encrusted recording of Neil’s ensemble ARCO testing "Internal Snore Monologue" (p. 20). There are many more indirect and abstract connections, and we consider this CD and book part of the same body of work. It is all, in the end, music.

​Produced and published by Cours de Poétique, whose Extended Scores series responds to the embodied, interdisciplinary, and discursive nature of contemporary music and performance practice by combining essays, documentary material, sound, and moving image with working scores in print and online.

Each copy of Sensible Activities includes access to documentation of the original performances, audio and video content, drawings, and bonus material, and a digital copy of Eden Box.

Eden Box / Sensible Activities is an album and book co-publication by Neil Luck. It is released by and produced in collaboration with Accidental Records and Cours de Poétique. It brings together a body of work from the last two years, broadly exploring contemporary, personal, and mediated ideas around the “pastoral” and the “folkloric”, that has manifested in music, performance, writings, radio, and images. It is then an album, a score, a document, an essay, an archive, an object.

Featuring music by Homogenized Terrestrials, Tom Dissevelt, Getdizzzy, Toxic Chicken, Jodie Lowther, Willie Wonder, Whettman Chelmets, Ghosts of Electricity, Malcolm [1], Malcolm [2], Doris Norton, Skipism, The Little Hand of the Faithful, and Univers Zero.
