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 explores the ways in which sound engages with the realms of conflict and trauma. The participants – Ximena Alarcón, Thomas Gardner, Syma Tariq & John Wynne – discuss their own work and some of the questions which arise, which include:

• The place of testimony
• Activism and repair
• The cultural forms and references within the work
• The place, future and consequences of the work

CRiSAP (Creative Research in Sound Arts Practice, UAL) celebrates its 20th anniversary with 20 unique episodes for Resonance Extra.

In this episode, Dronica meets Scual and dThed for our monthly guest mix on Resonance Extra.

Scual and dTHEd are collaborating for a new audio/visual work, due to be published later this year on Stochastic Resonance.

The mix, in its first half, will introduce the work with a bespoke live performance, and will carry on with some sounds that have been companions of the development process of the project in recent months.

Scual – Special Cures for Uncurable Anesthetized Lovers – is a multidisciplinary project started by Lorenzo Cco in late 2006. Born as an experimental web platform for the collection and publication of multidisciplinary projects, as results of personal works and collaborations. It then moved onto the physical plane, first with the activity of vjing, then by proposing multimedia performances and installations.

Its aesthetic research focuses on the permeation of different media categories, synthesized through the digital process, emphasizing the distortions and discontinuities that occur between those passages. Scual is one of the initiatives behind the creation of the network of artistic research, Stochastic Resonance

dTHEd is a multidisciplinary art trio inspired by the dilemmas stemming from neurodiversity (e.g. ASD) and the anthropocene (e.g. hyperobjects).
They do: music, graphics, videos, interviews, talks, performances, concerts, prints, VR, social experiments and sensory explorations in order to raise awareness, through unexpected beauty.

Nicola Serra, founder of East London's experimental music festival Dronica, presents new and archival material.

Returning to their roots in bass music, Miri Malek has fresh enthusiasm to make queer dance-floors in Berlin more low-end. Their creative approach is guided by a blend of influences, such as the UK bass/breaks scene, a deep appreciation for percussion-rich tracks from diverse corners of the globe, and various mixing techniques on digital and vinyl. This episode includes tracks from exclusively trans, non-binary and women artists.

Twice-monthly broadcast showcasing electronic music produced by members of the female:pressure international network of female, transgender and non-binary artists practising in the fields of electronic music and digital arts.

A composition imagining gestures, an anthropological archive of the body, as sound objects, predominantly through an acousmatic approach to the deconstruction and reconstruction of field/phone recordings, using the CD and CDJ as a tool or instrument for real-time manipulation, re-recording and improvisation, highlighting the musical potential of seemingly trivial real world sounds.

A sound situation extracting and trapping gestures from a socio-cultural landscape into an unpredictable set of sonic objects, continuously re-arranged and re-choreographed in time.

This radio piece is in direct relation to Milic’s expanded cinema performance INSCRIPTION, ENDURING; POTENTIAL which centers on gesture as holder of subtle cultural memory and history (the body as an anthropological and sociological archive) using found footage to practice experimental autoethnography – extracting glimpses of gestural movement from super8 home movies and interconnecting them in multi-projections.

“Gesture is the name of this intersection between life and art, act and power, general and particular, text and execution. It is a moment of life subtracted from the context of individual biography as well as a moment of art subtracted from the neutrality of aesthetics: it is pure praxis. The gesture is neither use value nor exchange value, neither biographic experience nor impersonal event: it is the other side of the commodity that lets the “crystals of this common social substance” sink into the situation.” (Giorgio Agamben)

Geanina Gypt is a leftfield music project of artist and DJ Maja Milić, fueled by a hardcore use of loops, extensive resampling, deconstruction and creating rhythms by misuse and destruction of samples or trivial sonic elements of reality, as well as the use of DJ equipment as tool for real-time manipulation of prerecorded sound (improvisation of an improvisation), mostly on tapes and CD.

She uses radio as a space for releasing music in long form or testing conceptual ideas, often intermedial (like, broadcast of images or live happenings), through her show Gypt Sessions on Berlin’s artist radio reboot.fm, and sometimes through Intruder Sessions, which is an irregular intrusion of the radio with spontaneous sets or concepts. She started to self-release tapes under Gypt Records.

Embarking on a journey along hydrobodies - from the deep ocean’s abyssal planes all the way through the Mississippi river, outwards into Indonesian tropical rainforests – Sonic Traces expands on my personal inquiries and journey as an activist and researcher. It sets out to expose how the traces of pollution - be they sonic or chemical - travel through watery spaces, impacting communities across ecosystems. Taking the form of a speculative dérive, it includes field recordings, poetry, field notes, and philosophical wonders.

I address research developed in the Lower Mississippi river petrochemical corridor, North Kalimantan in Borneo island, as well as introduce my practice as an activist concerned with deep sea mining and the impacts of ocean noise. I enquire how the water column is affected by chemical particles circulating through it, as new industries arise and expand from the seabed outwards towards land, tracing some of the cumulative impacts of human presence, while raising awareness into how one is embedded in wider webs of ecosystemic exchange.

For what if one were set to understand watery systems in novel ways that reorganize how one senses and partakes in the world?

Expanding on how traces bear witness to past actions and leave an intergenerational imprint, I explore the complex condition of partition-thinking in natural worlds, problematising human-centric ideas of containment and fixity, in otherwise fluid and interconnected spaces. By doing so, I expand on our conceptualisation of space and corporeality to introduce new perspectives on environmental thinking.

Here we broadcast some selected live works by the CWCH Collective.

Promises was a Canadian-based pop group that was founded 1978 in Thousand Oaks, California. The members were siblings Leslie
Maria Knauer (born August 20, 1957, Vancouver, vocals, bongos), Jed Knauer (born July 17, 1955, Toronto, guitar, piano) and Benny
Knauer (born October 21, 1958, Vancouver, keyboards and vocals).

Promises was formed, recorded and produced by Steve Verroca, who leased the group's album to EMI EAR Holland. In February 1979,
soft rock single "Baby It's You" became a smash hit around the world, especially in Europe, where it reached number 4 in the German
charts, and Promises received a Gold album there for selling more than 260,000 units. The song was also hugely popular in Australia,
largely due to the programming of its promotional video on Sunday evening television music show Countdown.
It also reached number one on the New Zealand Singles Chart for five weeks. "Baby It's You" was a success on South African television.

With their second single Lets Get Back Together being much less successful (only reaching number 18 in Germany), and Leslie wanting
the group to become more of a punk band, they broke up.
Curved Air are an English progressive rock group formed in 1970 by musicians from mixed artistic backgrounds, including classical, folk,
and electronic sound. The group decided the name using a shortened version of Terry Riley's composition A rainbow in curved air.
The resulting sound of the band is a mixture of progressive rock, folk rock, and fusion with classical elements.

Curved Air released eight studio albums, the first three of which broke into the UK Top 20, and had a hit single with Back Street Luv
(1971) which reached number 4 in the UK Singles Chart.

Line-up / Musicians on Back Street Luv

• Sonja Kristina / lead vocals
• Francis Monkman / lead guitar, keyboards, VCS3 synthesizer
• Darryl Way / electric violin, piano , vocals
• Ian Eyre / bass
• Florian Pilkington-Miksa / drums

I Want More is a song from Can's seventh studio album, Flow Motion. Unusually, it features all of the members of the band on vocals
simultaneously and is characteristic of their Virgin era sound, with lyrics written by Peter Gilmour, the band's live sound engineer.

The single reached number 26 in the UK Singles Chart in August 1976.

The song ... And More, also on Flow Motion, repeats the chorus of this track, and was included as a B-side to the single release.

Man Who Dies Every Day is from Ha!-Ha!-Ha!, (1977) the second album by British pop group Ultravox, at that time known as
Ultravox!, with exclamation mark, as a nod to Neu!, (known for pioneering the "motorik" beat, a minimalist 4/4 rhythm associated with
krautrock artists.)

This is the Rock and Roll gas chamber. So, take a deep breath and dance...
