Tune in Saturday, September 20th at 2pm EST for an interview with Wave Farm Artist-in-Residence Jamika Ajalon, followed by the premier of Ajalon’s new radio work “Fluid Code Transmissions: Liberation Grooves” on “The Radio Art Hour” at 3pm!
⚪️ Fluid Code Transmissions: Liberation Cypher is a radio broadcast unfolding as a transmission from the future, where the practice of “fluid code” is already in motion. The project explores coded languages of liberation expressed through sound. From music and rhythm to ambient noise, sound has historically served as a tool of resistance and survival. The atmospheric sounds of city streets, public transportation, and the soundscapes of daily life carry hidden codes waiting to be uncovered. Drawing on traditions like Morse code and drum communication, Ajalon traces how communities have created forms of expression that slip past dominant systems of control.
The goal is to craft a “fluid code”: a living, evolving form of sonic expression that cannot be easily co-opted or commodified. By combining original sound experiments, archival material, and selected contributions, the project is a call to imagine new, uncontainable forms of expression.
⚪️ Jamika Alajon is a writer, author, and interdisciplinary artist who experiments with text, visuals, and sound. A key part of Alajon’s practice involves creating and performing improvisational A/V “Anti-Lectures,” which integrate multiple mediums in a live setting. Sound plays a crucial role in these performances, shaping immersive, multilayered experiences. Alajon’s work also explores the intersections of memory, narrative, surveillance culture, and fugitivity, contributing to a living archive that amplifies countercultural perspectives and voices from the margins. Alajon’s sound work is diverse, incorporating elements of distorted field recordings, found footage, original compositions, and spoken text or poetry.
