Echolalia is the automatic repetition of phrases spoken by another. It is a self-soothing or self-stimulation technique often seen in individuals on the autism spectrum. Echolalia FM is a piece in three movements, each demonstrating the concept of Echolalia in increasingly abstract fashion. The piece will feature classical and contemporary instrumentation, voice and the voices of others. Repeated words, phrases (musical and lingual), and sounds will present themselves initially as cohesive and eventually they will transform into something larger or deteriorate into nothing at all.

Hali Palombo is a composer, visual artist, filmmaker, shortwave radio enthusiast, and amateur historian from the Midwestern United States. Born in Northfield, Minnesota, she has had a natural curiosity about radio and the Midwestern United States from a young age. Her work often weaves the absurdity and mundane beauty of Illinois into her records, short films, drawings and paintings.

Fluid Code Transmissions: Liberation Cypher is a radio broadcast unfolding as a transmission from the future, where the practice of “fluid code” is already in motion. The project explores coded languages of liberation expressed through sound. From music and rhythm to ambient noise, sound has historically served as a tool of resistance and survival. The atmospheric sounds of city streets, public transportation, and the soundscapes of daily life carry hidden codes waiting to be uncovered. Drawing on traditions like Morse code, drum communication, and hobo signs, Ajalon traces how communities have created forms of expression that slip past dominant systems of control.

The goal is to craft a “fluid code”: a living, evolving form of sonic expression that cannot be easily co-opted or commodified. By combining original sound experiments, archival material, and selected contributions, the project is a call to imagine new, uncontainable forms of expression.

Jamika Ajalon is a writer, author, and interdisciplinary artist who experiments with text, visuals, and sound. A key part of Ajalon's practice involves creating and performing improvisational A/V “Anti-Lectures,” which integrate multiple mediums in a live setting. Sound plays a crucial role in these performances, shaping immersive, multilayered experiences. Ajalon's work also explores the intersections of memory, narrative, surveillance culture, and fugitivity, contributing to a living archive that amplifies countercultural perspectives and voices from the margins. Ajalon's sound work is diverse, incorporating elements of distorted field recordings, found footage, original compositions, and spoken text or poetry. Recently, Ajalon created a soundscape for *Radio Whales*, a dance performance, and collaborated with Afrikadaa’s *Sonic Waves Studio* for an Anti-Lecture Lab. Each project reflects their ongoing exploration of sonic textures as a medium for storytelling, flipping dominant paradigme, and reimagining histories .
