Tune in works this week from Melike Ceylan and from Erik Belgum, Diana Duta, and Julia E Dyck.

"Voice Station" by Melike Ceylan is a fixed-media radio piece composed solely of recorded human voices. It evokes the casual act of radio dialing by presenting a wide range of vocal gestures and textures that loosely resemble sounds associated with radio broadcasting. Each station catalogues distinct timbres of disembodied radio voices, transformed and extended beyond syntax. The piece is the first work of the radio art portfolio of the same name, Voice Station, produced as part of the doctoral research conducted by Melike Ceylan at the University of Calgary.

"Calvin Versus Darnell: An Experiment in the Stimulation of Deja Vu and Jamais Vu in Saint Erme" was written by Erik Belgum. Produced and Performed by Diana Duta and Julia E Dyck.

Welcome to "The Radio Art Hour," a show where art is not just on the radio, but is the radio. "The Radio Art Hour" draws from the Wave Farm Broadcast Radio Art Archive, an online resource that aims to identify, coalesce, and celebrate historical and contemporary international radio artworks made by artists around the world, created specifically for terrestrial AM/FM broadcast, whether it be via commercial, public, community, or independent transmission. Come on a journey with us as radio artists explore broadcast radio space through poetic resuscitations and playful celebrations/subversions of the complex relationship between senders and receivers in this hour of radio about radio as an art form. "The Radio Art Hour" features introductions from Philip Grant and Tom Roe, and from Wave Farm Radio Art Fellows Karen Werner, Jess Speer, and Andy Stuhl. The Conet Project's recordings of numbers radio stations serve as interstitial sounds. Go to wavefarm.org for more information about "The Radio Art Hour" and Wave Farm's Radio Art Archive.
