Olivia Cirisan (b. 2001) is a musician of many kinds. A percussionist, singer/songwriter, composer, producer and audio engineer, Olivia’s work is often collaborative, cross-genre and experimental. As a composer, songwriter and producer, Olivia is inspired by everything and anything.

Having written songs for as long as she can remember, Olivia combines her percussion training, her love of electronic production and her songwriting experience to make music that swims amongst both popular and unconventional idioms. Most recently, this is exemplified by her 2024 record, MIDDLES, as well as her newest record with VIRID, Slow Images, released in October of 2025.

Olivia’s work has been showcased internationally, on radio shows like Brighton, UK’s 1BTN.FM, Latvia’s NABA FM 95.8 and Berlin’s Refuge Worldwide radio. Olivia has been a finalist for the 2022 Petrichor Music Competition, and her work has been featured in the 2023 Maker Music Festival. Her music has been a part of Untergeschoss der Pandora’s 2023 Pandora’s Music Box advent calendar.

Olivia is technical director and percussionist of FLYDLPHN, a mixed chamber sextet based in southeastern Michigan dedicated to the commissioning of early-career composers as well as extensive use of electro-acoustic, multimedia, and improvised performance. She also performs with her duo VIRID, an amorphous percussion and multimedia duo that exists between experimental, contemporary classical and popular music genres.

Olivia has also worked on notable projects such as John Luther Adams’ GRAMMY-nominated recording of Sila: The Breath of the World, the premieres of Michael Gordon’s Field of Vision and The Forest of Metal Objects at the Met Cloisters in NYC, and A New Age for New Age, Vol. 5. A collaborator at heart, she has premiered over 35 chamber and solo works by various composers. Olivia studies Balinese Gamelan as well, and was a 2024 Graduate Fellow in the Center for World Performance Studies at the University of Michigan.

Silence is never actually silent. Even in a recording studio at a radio station, there is a multitude of quiet sounds, constantly present, unintentionally produced, often unnoticed, which nevertheless make up the basic sonic environment we work out of.

By using the studio itself as an instrument, and its various noisy technological inhabitants as collaborators, this piece brings out the ambient voices which underlie all of the shows, jingles and tracks we produce on a daily basis. Condenser and contact microphones collect the hums of equipment, ticking of clocks, clacking of keyboards, etc, which are then passed through routine processes of effect chains in audio production software, as if they were any human voice or musical instrument.

In turning our attention to these tiny sounds around us, we are acknowledging and exploring the inextricable sonic nature of the studio itself from the audio products we craft within it. As Eno said, “Recording is not the same as reproducing – it’s producing something that couldn’t exist any other way” – sounds are brought into the studio and leave there in another form, with its presence imprinted; the studio has its own life, activity and agency, which co-authors the works made in it. Therefore, we can say that its voices are not necessarily annoying contingencies to be removed; rather, we can see them as intrinsic qualities, fundamental to the objects we produce, like a sonic DNA, or a distinguishing leitmotif, to be worked with rather than against.

This environmental audio stream is broadcasting live from the 'End of the World' glacier in Northern Italy's Stelvio National Park. The solar-powered listening station is continuously transmitting since July 2025 from ca. 2.700 metres above sea level in the Italian Alps. We tune in daily to the glacier's cyclical sonic material life, allowing us to witness meltwater rhythms, sediment flows, avalanches, landslides, animal life and the seasonal impacts of weather and tourism entering the microphones, in real time. Elemental Foley by Lia Mazzari will be on show as a solo exhibition at Microscope Gallery in Dalston, London from 10 - 26 September 2026.

"With the apocalyptic vision of Ballard and the acerbic attitude of Céline, MUEUM scatters human detritus over the shiny Perspex of our most dearly loved vitrines." – Chris McCabe

"A showcase, ransacked with horrid delight: Fowler's MUEUM presents the placid, lurid violences of surveillance and exhibition with startling and brutal stylishness. A seething triumph." – Eley Williams

A novella of ludic menace, a puzzle without pieces, SJ Fowler’s MUEUM pictures the amassing and dismantling of a public edifice, brick by brick, in prose that refracts and breaks the light emitted by history’s ornaments and history’s omissions. Suspended in unknowable time there is a city; in the city, an event, a conflict. Amid the ash, fog and cloud, there is the manufacturing of a space—a many-winged museum on the make.

On the plinths, exquisite remnants of life present and past—adorning the walls, portraits of gentle torture sit hand in hand with brutal and statuesque portrayals of camaraderie—and the gift-shop is littered with plastic curios and gilt revulsion. Goya, as atmosphere rather than artwork, hovers amid iron age ghosts, bronzed ideas, and antiqued anxiety.

Pacing the hall, atrium and corridor, there are those who keep the museum—the various midwives to the building’s demands—and those, like the reader, who merely visit; those who pass through the vacant galleries adrift with questions. What can I touch? What is next to Egypt? What is hidden in Mesopotamia? Where do we eat? Drink? Where is the entrance? The exit? Following the tradition of the Nestbeschmutzer authors (“one who dirties their own nest,” vis-à-vis Bernhard and Gombrowicz, et al), in Fowler’s curt, spiralling, and acute work, the museum’s keepers will answer.

A four-part, unabridged broadcast of SJ Fowler’s debut novella, MUEUM — as read by the author — recorded on location in Resonance Extra's South London studios. Produced by Dominic Jaeckle and Milo Thesiger-Meacham.

As part of La Semaine du Son, GMEA offered a creative micro-residency to a group of 12 young international artists, selected by the different tekhnē partners. The group was invited to collectively develop listening devices in the public space of the city of Albi.

At the end of the residency, they presented their work at several places in the city. This podcast features excerpts – sound walks, installations, in-situ experiments – from the micro-residency.

With the artists Merlin Tessier, Emilia Elouardi, Leo Van Damme, Ana Kulakova, Qusay Awad, Hany Tea, Rita Santos, Élif Guilin Soguksu, Agita Reķe, Flurina Mia Häberli, Jacob Eckhardt and Isul Kim.

Bi-monthly insights into the activities of the European project tekhnē, which started in 2023. The series showcases a selection of artists who share and discuss their work and listen to recorded material. By putting the focus on the user rather than the developer, this project aims to explore the emancipatory potential of technology in music and sound art. Technology as an art of craft, appropriating and transforming existing tools, to imagine multiple ways of creative misuse. tekhnē is a collaborative project, co-funded by the European Union.

And Then finds Ed Baxter and Michael Umney in conversation about Resonance FM. This series was commissioned by the Independent Community Radio Network and was supported by the Nordic Culture Point Nordic-Baltic Mobility Programme for Culture. Produced by Michael Umney and Ed Baxter.

The title reflects the number of days Niya had to wait for her first appointment at the Gender Identity Clinic. The wait times have been increasing across the UK, with first appointments now taking anywhere from three to five years. The project consists of three parts, each capturing one-third of the 912-day journey, using a 360 degree camera.

Niya engaged with diverse communities of trans and non- binary people in Birmingham and London through workshops and participatory performances. 912 goes beyond a personal story to resonate with a wider audience, exploring conditions of waiting, frustration, hope, resilience and community support.

The podcast was initially designed as an audio description for visually impaired individuals but has since evolved into a distinct audio experience of its own.

Text by Afrah Allsopp & Niya B. Narration by Asher Fynn. Mixed by Lottie Lou Poulet.

Based on a VR 360 degree video by artist Niya B, 912 is an audio project which delves into the lives of trans and non-binary individuals as they navigate the daily challenge of waiting and carrying on.
