This monthly broadcast from Glasgow art radio station Radiophrenia features "Twilight of the Rock Gods" by Luke Fowler and Richard McMaster and "lone-crow make some hullabaloo" by sean burn.

‘Twilight of the Rock Gods’ by Luke Fowler and Richard McMaster. The source material originates from two found reel to reel collections; one is a collection of record label demos from 1974-1978, the other an archive of a university’s research into speech disorders which includes an interview with a man who worked in the music industry. Excerpts from these tapes are manipulated and radically reshaped by feeding the raw material through a series of vintage effects boxes relevant to the era in which the original recordings were made.

‘lone-crow make some hullabaloo’ by sean burn. This work blends and processes poetry with soundscape, loosely based around a recurring dream of an intense relationship with a trickster crow and memories of a childhood before adolescent psychiatric wards.

Radiophrenia was a temporary art radio station – a two-week exploration into current trends in sound and transmission arts. Broadcasting live from Glasgow’s Centre for Contemporary Arts, the station promoted radio as an art form, encouraging challenging and radical new approaches to the medium. The broadcast schedule included a series of newly commissioned radio works, live shows, pre-recorded features and 12 Live-to-Air performances. The majority of the program was made up from selections submitted to an international open call for sound art and radio works. The 2016 Radiophrenia station was managed by Mark Vernon and Barry Burns and was funded through Creative Scotland’s Open Project Funding with additional support from CCA Glasgow.
