Since 2005, CRiSAP has pioneered new approaches to practice and theory by exploring sound and listening in relation to the environment, gender, technology, feminism, activism, conflict, text, pedagogy and voice. For Resonance Extra, CRiSAP members and friends, past and present, host a range of discussions and soundworks that cover key themes and areas of research across art, performance, symposia, publishing, curation, archives, education and more.

This episode considers a batch of influential publications produced by CRiSAP. Focusing on the anthologies Autumn Leaves (Carlyle, 2007) and Playing with Words (Lane, 2008), the discussion weaves motivations, content and contexts for both publications.

Throughout the episode sound excerpts are played from each book's companion audio compilation. The episode finishes with conversation and excerpts from the soundworks Some Memories of Bamboo (Carlyle, 2009) and The Hebrides Suite (Lane, 2013).

This is Drone Operatør's last :.( radio show on Resonance Extra. We had some fun time the last 12 months and hope you had too. For this last show, we asked composer, improviser and saxophonist Tom Weeks to create a special saxophone solo session, which he did to our delight. And hell it's good!!!

The rest of the show we will play our brand new album SIM CARD HØLDER, which was created during the lockdown in collaboration with Ian Bruner and Gajek extending it with some extra material. We hope to see you again on other platforms.
Yours,
Drone Operatør.

Asphyxia's delirium continues in this episode with excerpts from a 1921 paranoid etymological tract - 'Puss in Pye Corner' - jutting into commuter-friendly low-budget podcast matter and dictaphonics.

Finally, a chance to inspect a British Library Suppressed Safe book is presented: 'Diving for Treasure' (1926) by G. Williams. Meanwhile, BBC Radio 4 implodes under its own gravitas, birthing a new star in the form of 'spoken word newspaper reports' from the early 2000s.

These mishaps befalling the narrator - filtered through newspaper bastardy - rehash quondam-embarrassments associated with bin-diving and aggressive Pure Volunteering.

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.

And so everyday life begins. A subtlety made up of sounds that we recognise but so often ignore. It’s just background noise. Today, there are no witches — there is guilt. The voice as a mirror of discomfort, of coughing, of screaming. And the bells, always there. In the distance, persistent, like an entity dictating the pace of our steps. At a time when “freedom” has become a fragile word, we whisper, we murmur, we chant — and we become the crowd that, for a moment, makes itself heard above the bells.

It was from this attentive — and restless — listening that, in March 2025, a group of curious sound enthusiasts gathered in Braga for a radio art workshop, promoted by Braga Media Arts, as part of Braga 25 — Portuguese Capital of Culture. Under the guidance of Sarah Washington and Knut Aufermann (Mobile Radio), a broadcast was created from this soundscape.

When thinking about the sound identity of Braga — marked by a notable religious presence, which earned it the epithet ‘Portuguese Rome’ — one always comes back to bells. They inhabit the towers of the city’s countless churches, mark time, sing sacred melodies, call people to prayer. And sometimes they seem to scrutinise souls in search of sins. Because they exist — and because they make themselves heard — bells inevitably shape our daily lives.

The bells and chordophones heard in this piece were recorded during rehearsals and performances of the artistic project ‘Novos Ecos de Uma Paisagem Sonora’ (New Echoes of a Soundscape), by the Percussion Group of the University of Minho, directed by João Dias, accompanied on the Braguesa guitar and cavaquinho by Luís Capela.
