Radial Spaces

In this episode you will hear the destruction and construction of a new space: the technologies, materials, and labour involved, their rhythms and textures…During the process of the dismantling and building of a structure, a surplus of multifarious aesthetic qualities besides architectural functionalism transform the environment and our perceptions. As a Space is formed, a situation is deconstructed. Through the process of  deconstruction, a temporal space of alienation is in flux. Whatever is not Formed, is in the state of deformation. A sonic Identity is an every changing liminal state. A hammer in movement, exists in a non state, a in between, a space between incidences. Until a structure arises, it does not demand obedience.Radial Spaces is a limited series of sonic essays produced by Francisco Petrucci and Astvaldur Thorisson and guests for Radio Antecâmara, dedicated to exploring the techno-poetics of sound and space.Astvaldur Thorisson is an artist and sound engineer, focusing on the relation the built and the sonic. Astvaldur is currently a student of Architecture at the Universität der Kunst in Berlin.Francisco Petrucci is a multidisciplinary artist and researcher working towards the poetic. Francisco holds a MA degree in Sound Studies & Sonic Arts at the Universität der Kunst, Berlin. 

In this episode you will hear a composition based on recordings that audibly capture several invisible infrastructures and the architectures of communication they reveal but do not always decode: the digital space and its analogue to digital conversions and the manifold possibilities of computational signal modulation; electromagnetic and radio wave field space, carrying coded and decoded signals from cellular telecommunications, mixed with natural and artificial radio emissions; acoustic spaces, carriers of sonic symbolic markers.(This episode contains binaural audio elements reproduced only through headphones.)A structure composed without nodes, an imposed organisation.Rearranged by the necessity of capitalMatter becomes ephemeral, existence of connections superimposed through the necessity of motion.A desire of production, produced through the erratic and non haptic.Sense of a word is dissolved within its meaning,The body exists through the network, it exists as a metaphor in order to understand the existence of the movement through the network.A signal is developed and deports through invisible structures, the transmitter exists and is compromised through the lack of understanding of its surroundings.The potential movements of deterritorialization, possible lines of signal, segment by segment exist interrupted.Radial Spaces is a limited series of sonic essays produced by Francisco Petrucci and Astvaldur Thorisson and guests for Radio Antecâmara, dedicated to exploring the techno-poetics of sound and space.Astvaldur Thorisson is an artist and sound engineer, focusing on the relation the built and the sonic.

What you will hear is a recording of the audible boundary between the urban and the rural. This is achieved by walking from one towards the other and registering the sonic mixture. The recording is interspersed by reflections.Radial Spaces is a limited series of sonic essays produced by Francisco Petrucci and Astvaldur Thorisson and guests for Radio Antecâmara, dedicated to exploring the techno-poetics of sound and space.Astvaldur Thorisson is an artist and sound engineer, focusing on the relation the built and the sonic.
