Meaning emerges from a soundscape of bells in today's Radio Atlas podcast... Listen to Everything Has Its Own Story by Maria Margaronis: https://www.radioatlas.org/everything-has-its-own-story/

For centuries, great flocks of sheep and goats grazed the mountains of Greece and the Balkans. Some herders were completely nomadic, travelling with their whole household between grazing grounds. Now very few shepherds make the traditional journey to the high pastures each spring and down again each autumn. Theoharis Gratsos has been a shepherd his whole life in the Zagori region of northwestern Greece.

Today on the Radio Atlas podcast, listen to Attis in Caledon by Harry Josephine Giles and Callie Rose Petal (ⁿᵒᵗBorges). https://www.radioatlas.org/attis-in-caledon/

An experimental Scots translation of ‘Catullus 63’ tells the story of a young athlete driven mad by the Mother Goddess, driven to become an orgiastic priestess in the wild mountain woods, in a cacophonous reimagining of the Latin classic as a trans hymn to the Caledonian Forest.

Created for Radiophrenia's Lost in Transmission event series.

Loved subtitling this extraordinary radiophonic poem by Harry Josephine Giles and Callie Rose Petal.

If you're in Edinburgh next week, don't miss a chance to listen at Radiophrenia Glasgow's free event!

As part of our next Lost in Transmission event we present the debut of a new Radiophrenia commission written and performed by Harry Josephine Giles with music and sound design by Callie Rose Petal (ⁿᵒᵗBorges).

‘Attis in Caledon’ – is an experimental Scots translation of the ancient poem ‘Catallus 63’. It tells the story of a young athlete driven mad by the Mother Goddess, driven to become an orgiastic priestess in the wild mountain woods, in a cacophonous reimagining of the Latin classic as a trans hymn to the Caledonian Forest. The piece uses the full force of Scots to create a contemporary version of galliambic metre, the ancient poetic form of Cybele's centuries-long trans priesthood, and the poetry is complemented by original music and archival material woven together into a new work of noise alchemy. The piece will be subtitled in both English and the original Latin.

There will also be a new live performance commission by vocalist, visual artist and researcher Cara Tolmie - as well as a short programme of subtitled radio works from around the world.

Free but ticketed. Tickets available through Eventbrite:

It’s surreal becoming a mother when the world is on fire. To have your world become smaller, as you focus on all the little things, like teaching a small child to eat or to talk, knowing that the world outside of this little bubble is falling apart.
