Light Hesitates is a text-voice piece and a contemplation on hesitation. (glitch, interval, this way-that way dubiousness, slight delay, sharp intake, split second gap) Hesitancy being present in the body and perhaps a useful tactic to disrupt linear progression and certainty, to notice other ways of seeing.

Ideas of partial visibility and translucency (mist, tracing paper, dusk) and of navigation in relation to light (moth, dung beetle, ear) crept into the work from the periphery. The texts stem from a summer artist residency at Hospitalfields Arbroath Scotland in 2023.

"As choreographer I was experimenting with writing that emerged from an immediacy of experience and of moving. I am curious how language inhabits and how the body inhabits language, how words resonate from the body and fold back into the body. How certain words organised in score-like structures become dance partners. In writing for radio, as a new way of making a choreographic work, I was working perhaps with how words are held in a voice as an extension of the body, how to bring lightness and spatiality to words spoken aloud and play with what surfaces between writing, reading, speaking, listening."

Written and performed by Katrina Brown. Additional voices Myrte Blanken and Juno Brown. Produced by Lucinda Guy for Soundart Radio.

In this episode, Chantal Michelle takes us on a journey around New York in the first portion of this month’s Third Space. Buskers, sirens and footsteps are caught between and across music that captures the frantic and conflicted relationship of the artist and the city.

In the second half of the show, Cucina Povera engages with the broad palette of sounds found around her. This mix focuses largely on sounds rather than composed music, but the musical inspiration that Cucina Povera finds in the city’s droning bells, natural ambiance and repetitive bird song melodies is pronounced.

"An inexplicable draw, a love affair that can’t end, a refusal. Compounded layers, disharmony, the occasional synchronicity that could be mistaken for meaning. Trying to “block it out” but efforts are futile; a bleeding. Pleasure in discord, fear. Joy when looking out the window." – Chantal Michelle

Each month, First Light Records invites two artists to take an unplanned journey with a microphone around their city to curate an hour-long mix. Each show captures the unique atmosphere of a city from each artist's perspective, through music and found sound.

This episode is dedicated to the first Meloman M-110 music machines in the Soviet Union. Cabinets with music weighing 130 kilograms began to appear in the 60s in places where citizens would rest – cafes and restaurants, sanatoriums and cruise ships. Each jukebox held fifty seven-inch records and accordingly allowed listening to two-hundred songs.

In total, Melodiya issued about two-hundred records for Meloman - they were not sold in ordinary shops, but the music recorded on them was popular among listeners. The cost of listening to one song was only five kopecks, while the price of a seven-inch record at retail was seventy kopecks and more.

Meloman's repertoire included mostly city pop music of the 60s and 70s in the languages of commonwealth countries. However, in this episode I tried to include not the biggest hits of those years. You will hear bubblegum pop from Poland and Japan, psychedelic rock from Azerbaijan, pop chorals from Georgia, foxtrots from the GDR, as well as a lot of jazz and swing from Russia and the Lesser Caucasus.

It is believed that it was through the Meloman's speakers that Soviet citizens first heard the The Beatles' music – not the original recordings, but performed on a Hammond organ. In 1967, Keith Buckingham recorded a medley of three songs by the Liverpool 4 and this was included in the repertoire of the Soviet Jukebox and in this episode (track 11).

It can seem that the repertoire of the Meloman music machine sounds rather utopian: "I walk and sing and the street sings. The traffic light winked: ‘Go ahead!’," – Soviet pop diva Edita Piekha squints with pleasure in her schlager. It seems to have been so! Meloman's popularity waned in the late 70s, when clubs with live ensembles began to appear in big cities, personal vinyl players became available to almost every worker, and soon the rough rock of Perestroika became fashionable.

Uzbekistan-based DJ and boss of the experimental TOPOT label Eugenie Galochkin presents rare vinyl rips from the Soviet Melodia label. Melodia has released music from all around the world: from obscure Baltic electronica and free jazz from Siberia; to synth-pop from Tajikistan and academic avant-garde from Ukraine. The series will explore how national and cultural characteristics are embedded in musical language.
