Radio Implicancies

+

Radio Implicancies is the name of a series of special issues led by +Femke Snelting in +three consecutive years with Radio/Streaming as an output format. +Participants were encouraged to research and investigate how collective +work is shaped by technical systems through collective making and +listening within their own (small) networks.

+
+

Radio Implicancies is about practicing interdependencies. About how +to stay with the complex entanglements between the personal, the +economical, the political and the computational. About thinking, using +and making technology with mutual relations in mind.

The Cloud

+

Floor van Meeuwen

+

During second edition of Radio Implicancies, Special Issue 15, Floor +van Meeuwen created The Cloud, an audio piece in the form of a +self-guided meditation. The piece has a satirical tone, the central +refrain: “see it as the cloud, let the cloud pass by”, cleverly makes +use of the dual sense of cloud as object of meditative release, and as +portal to cloud services. The piece works through a series of everyday +examples, starting from checking the time on a smart phone, that lead to +a spiral of (unintended) engagments and ultimately anxieties created by +the many notifications the author encounters when interacting with her +phone.

+

The piece was (initially) produced as a stand alone HTML page, and +was later used as part of the 7th collective broadcast, called the +cookbook, which featured a booklet that accompanied the broadcast, and +was published online with a “page-turner” code.

+ +

I am sitting in a room

+

Alvin Lucier

+ +
+

«I Am Sitting in a Room: for voice on tape»

+

Lucier’s classic «I Am Sitting in a Room» is a poetic exercise in +concentration. It focuses on a notoriously suppressed phenomenon: +spatial resonance being too self evident to perceive. While Lucier’s +spoken text is heard live through the room’s loudspeakers, he repeatedly +records the sound that stimulates the room’s resonant frequencies until +the text becomes indecipherable. Instead of semantics, the musical +qualities of language surface. The spoken text becomes a libretto, +score, and performance manual in one.

Proto-call (I am +sitting in a jitsi room)

+ +

Mark van den Heuvel and Tisa Neža Herlec

+

Made during the first edition (Special Issue 12), during the initial +COVID lockdown, the work started with a collective writing exercise on +an etherpad, an interleaved conversation in the form of a cadavre +exquis, one startins a sentence and the other continuing the thought. +The two later came together in a jitsi call to record a re-speaking the +lines that each had written, using etherpad’s feature differentiating +the writing of each author with color, but with the decision to to flip +the script and read each others lines rather than their own. The result +is full of both intimacy, as each imagines inhabiting the others +thoughts, and awkwardness as they often struggle to synchronize with +their collective script.

+

Like Alvin Lucier’s I am sitting in a room, the piece +creates a soundscape that in its own way resonates with the particular +affordances of the hybrid combination of virtual spaces created by the +writing pad, and by the audio recording.

+

Example: +Radio Implicancies: The Jingle Board Parliament

+

For the final edition, Special +Issue 18, the fourth broadcast took the form of The Jingle Board +Parliament, and which was published as a sound board.

+

+

The broadcast made use of an etherpad to organize. On the +pad they invited their fellow radiomakers to contribute not a single +piece, but fragments to be incorporated into a soundboard in the form of +a parliament chart (such as the kind that show the relative +representation of different political parties in an elected +parliament).

+
+

Our take on this idea of parliament is rooted in the influence that +elements of pop-culture have on politics, and more precisely on shaping +the characters and the voices that then inhabit a parliament. While much +of the politics happens outside of official institutional buildings, yet +the idea of the parliament remains a pure symbol of the place in which +democracy is being performed. This is to give you an intentional +framework that we propose as caretakers, but of course we invite you to +stretch and deconstruct this idea of “The parliament”.
+Also we invite you to not overthink about politically engaged +and great contributions, after all everything is political! +;)

+
+

Note how in this case the sound board was published, rather than +(just) a recording of the weeks broadcast. This was a pattern used in +many weeks, where different formats and structures were explored for +preparing each weeks broadcast, and these systems shaped the webpages +that were published for each week. The etherpads however were not +published, but is suggestive of some useful liner notes to an eventual +publication.
