“RADIOPHRENIA is a temporary art radio station broadcasting intermittently from the Centre for Contemporary Arts in Glasgow.
The broadcast schedule for our 2023 edition included a series of 16 newly commissioned radio works, 14 Live-to-Air performances as well as live studio shows, screenings, shorts and pre-recorded features. Through our public engagement programme we worked with four different community groups to realise a new series of sound and radio works. As in previous years the majority of the programme was made up from selections submitted to an international open call for sound art and radio works.” - https://2023.radiophrenia.scot/
Edwina Stevens & Carly Fischer - Velodrome
Broadcast on the 1st of September 2023 11:00 am - 11:30 am
Velodrome is a collaborative soundscape by Edwina Stevens and Carly Fischer that oscillates around the industrial peripheries of their local area of Coburg, Melbourne, reflecting on how these in-between zones and their accumulations of forgotten fragments, traces and tones reveal hidden histories and generate improvisational dialogues with local places. Drawing on field recordings that wander around factories, former quarries and scrap yards, as well as synthesised drones played through discarded infrastructure, the soundscape has been composed through a randomised playback process, generating incidental overlaps and trajectories that open up alternate dialogues with the place.
Edwina Stevens (Otepoti/Dunedin, Naarm/Melbourne) is an audiovisual artist working across composition, installation and live performance, exploring processes of engaging with places that are improvisational, tangential and incidental, through synthesised sound, field recordings, found acoustic elements and obsolete media. Carly Fischer (Naarm/Melbourne) is a sculptural and audio artist who engages with the smaller details, hidden histories and peripheral dialogues of places, through assemblages of objects, sounds and materialities. Carly and Edwina began collaborating in 2018 to develop sculptural and audiovisual projects that generate improvisational dialogues with local places, incorporating collected and reconstructed fragments, field recordings, archives and synthesised sound.
