Tune in Saturday 1/3 for a new episode of The Radio Art Hour: Dunn, Peters, Camacho/Reyes, Dumas, produced by 2025 Radio Art Research Fellow Luna Galassini.

At 2pm, tune in for a conversation between Luna and Gregory Whitehead about two new additions to the Wave Farm Radio Art Archive. Then, stay tuned to hear the first of those during The Radio Art Hour at 3pm.

⚪️ Dunn, Peters, Camacho/Reyes, Dumas

On this episode of the Radio Art Hour, we’ll listen to radio works focused on landscape, from the desert to the parking lot, from Mexico City to the aether.

All of the works featured on today’s broadcast were selected through research into two major radio art initiatives first broadcast on KUNM Albuquerque: Ned Sublette’s Radio Performance Project (1977-1979), and Aether Fest (2003), curated by Steve Peters with Alan Lidell and Steven M. Miller.

• (espial) by David Dunn: the first of a trio of pieces commissioned by Ned Sublette for the 1979 season of the Radio Performance Project.
• “Santa Fe Parking Lot” (1991) by Steve Peters:
part of a collection of five pieces for radio, Sight Specifics, in which a narrator describes a place they’d like to visit; the narration is then mixed with field recordings from the place in question. Writer Ann Racuya-Robbins improvised her spoken performance.
• Two short pieces from Aether Fest: a layered loop-based field recording piece from Mexico City by Jorge Reyes and producer Lidia Camacho, Zocaloop; and Send by Chantal Dumas, a hybrid radio/broadcast work composed to accompany a documentary on choreographer Gwen Noah.

Fabiana Gibim is a performance artist, editor, and curator from the border of Brazil and Paraguay, born into the Guarani-Kaiowá Indigenous Nation.

She is interested in radical archives—both sound and printed matter—and dedicates herself to creating imaginary archives that experiment with the concept of “formless formation.” She is also the editor and founder of the São Paulo-based radical press, Sobinfluencia, working collaboratively with over 200 contributors and having published over 40 books and more than 50 mixed-media posters. She is co-founder of the Nocturnal Lab, laboratory of investigations on sound and night.

When activated, the pond-facing phone will call out to every person in the 𝘛𝘢𝘭𝘬 𝘛𝘰 𝘔𝘦 - 𝘞𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘍𝘢𝘳𝘮 community, all at once. You will speak with the first person to answer the call.To improve society spend time with people you haven’t met.

Link in bio for details and directions.
