1) Phew - Jamming 2025

"As a child I travelled the world on BCL radio and was fascinated by the music and languages of distant countries with fading phenomena. Once, while checking the shortwave band, a 'pheeew' noise passed by. The frequency range was very wide, and the overall frequency was heard to rise in a continuous sequence of changes. What was that sound?

Jamming 2025 is an attempt to recreate that experience from memory"

Commissioned for Radiophrenia 2025 with the support of Creative Scotland.

2) Magda Lampropoulou - When in kitchen

“When in kitchen” composition was made with some sculptures of my recent sound installation “twist” which was presented in June 2024 at the Subset Festival and the Athens Epidaurus Festival. Sound sculptural constructions of objects and shapes with a feminine accent (bowls, plates and cutlery, faux pearls, seeds etc.) are twisting and turning in a synchronized dance balancing between the fragile nature of materials such as glass and the tenuous dynamics of their sounds. The outer shell of metal, paper, glass and ceramic surfaces and their inner elements create diverse qualities of sounds. Utilizing the kitchen tools and equipment as my musical instruments, I aim to give them the voice to say loudly our feminine song.

This monthly program features highlights and commissions from the Glasgow art radio station Radiophrenia.

Presented on an annual basis, Radiophrenia is a temporary art radio station – a two-week exploration into current trends in sound and transmission arts. Broadcasting live across Glasgow, the station promotes radio as an art form, encouraging challenging and radical new approaches to the medium. Each year, the broadcast schedule includes a series of newly commissioned radio works, live shows, pre-recorded features, and a number of Live-to-Air performances. The majority of the program is made up from selections submitted to an international open call for sound art and radio works. Radiophrenia is managed as a co-operative funded through Creative Scotland’s Open Project Funding.
