IMAGINARY RADIO STATION
step into the imaginary radio station, a space of storytelling and music. ride the waves of memory, embrace halos of sparkling static and be part of a broadcast like no other. this shape-shifting radio station is composed by stephen adams for and in collaboration with the music box project, with dramaturgical support from nikki heywood. weaving together threads of sound, movement and personal reflection, join us for a sonic meditation on radio and connection.

breathing rotations takes a meditative approach to the potentials of the imaginary radio station. four musicians are invited to improvise synchronised breath-length phrases to the four microphones at four corners of the room. with long pauses between phrases as the musicians move from one microphone to the next. their sound-making and their movements are framed and potentially influenced by a fifth performer, the broadcast controller, who sits at a small mixing desk with fm transmitter, looking after the live mix as well as adding low-key field recordings and other audio files to the ‘program’ of live music-making broadcasting to the four radios which the musicians carry.
