reverse, return, regenerate – selected audio works

reverse, return, regenerate is a collection of selected audio works for Pixelache Festival 2021, curated by festival co-director Laura Gustafsson:

I will not pretend to understand how the hyperspectral images of soil in Anne Yoncha’s project Re:Peat are actually converted into sound. There are two sonified soil samples, from Latvasuo and Pikkusaarisuo peat extraction sites, the unrestored soil sample is panned left, and panned right is the restored (one that’s been de-acidified with the ashes of burnt peat). The podcast on reverse-engineering proves that resilience can be built by learning how things work, repairing the broken, and applying the remains – maybe for an unfixed means. Both Fahmi Mursyid and Amelia Marzec use found or salvaged technology to create their sounds and instruments. Mursyid’s piece is the kind of ghastly, yet beautiful, soundscape that reminds me of why I first got fascinated with sound art. Marzec’s strange harmony feels like a calming ritual, a farewell to the era of disposable electronics.

-- Laura Gustafsson, Pixelache co-director

Fugitive Radio: Roaming Radiophonic Picnic

Fugitive Radio Event live at Oodi Helsinki - join us for a Roaming Radiophonic Picnic — introducing listeners to different sites and sounds around the Oodi broadcast zone.

fugitive radio is planning a series of live and collectively produced outside broadcasts for Pixelache #Burn. We will meet outside Oodi Central Library from 14.00 everyday of the festival. If you’re curious to make live experimental radio with us, bring your smartphone and a pair of wired earbuds. These work as an antenna if your smartphone has an FM receiver (look for the app!) Also bring a bluetooth speaker if you have one. After a little warm up, we will begin streaming online between 15.00 and 16.00 each day. We will also be broadcasting to a limited range around Oodi on 91.4 FM. If you can’t make it to Oodi library you could join us remotely — we’re working on a platform! Updates will be posted on fugitive-radio.net and our Telegram channel. Follow us on Insta: fugitive.radio.

Sumugan Sivanesan is an anti-disciplinary artist and writer based in Berlin. Since August 2020, he has developed fugitive radio in Helsinki over a series of broadcasts and events in collaboration with curator and writer Irina Mutt, and multimedia artist Suva Das.
