This month's show is inspired by Hans Flesch's 1924 Hörspiel 'Magic on the Air: Attempt at a Radio Grotesque'. Flesch was an pioneering producer of radio in Germany during it's early formative years. In this episode of Vocal Systems there are some voice inspired music but as the show progresses the 'background' elements that support the broadcast the house, devices, and the network, all begin to make their presence felt.

"Vocal Systems" explores different types of voice and is part of ongoing research by artist Dave Evans. The show investigates the (human) voice as the individual expression of a connected system and asks if the sounds generated by other assemblages and systems could be considered as voice too. To extend this idea into practice, other non-human forms and systems will co-host the show, speak, and sing. Dave is based in Liverpool, UK, and his work explores how complex networks appear to us and how we can represent them for ourselves.
