feeling body is part of a series of pieces reflecting on the physical and psychological experiences during and after an extended period of illness (long-COVID). The work draws on multiple symbolisms, from The Nine of Swords in the Minor Arcana, to the undercurrent of water, where long baths were a point of solace during the experience of debilitating symptoms. Interspersed with perspectives of internal and external interactions, voiced by the composer in multiple ways as well as a by Kiswahili text-to-speech voice, and with additional sounds from performers Yaz Lancaster (voice, violin) & Michael O’Callaghan (trumpet), the piece blurs the lines between a perspective from the time of illness and one in retrospect, underlining an inevitable consequence of illness: how it arrests, irreversibly, one’s awareness of their living body.

feeling body forms part of our recurring series of miniature audio-works for Radio 3's home for adventurous radio-making - Between the Ears. In this series, five audio-makers from around the world were invited to choose a card from the tarot deck as a creative prompt for their idea.

Nyokabi Kariũki is a Kenyan composer and sound artist. Illuminated by musical sensibilities from her African upbringing, Nyokabi shares a unique artistic voice spanning across various genres — from classical contemporary to sound art, film, and explorations into (East) African musical traditions. Her works have been experienced in various contexts around the world, from audio art festivals (including the Hearsay International Audio Festival, where she received the 2021 Hearsay ‘Art’ Award), to performances by acclaimed ensembles like Third Coast Percussion and Cello Octet Amsterdam.

Waves

Pre-Order

King Midas Sound / Fennesz - 'Waves'

Say My Name (Cyril Hahn Remix) - Destiny's Child

The second in our series of experimental electronic vinyl 12"s showcases the work of two boundary pushing Goldsmiths students: first, UK born and South Africa raised composer Galina Juritz, whose chopped and spliced RnB doused in lush string arrangements induces a fidgety unease and zero gravity lushness in equal measure. And second, rising DJ and producer Harry Rodger, with two cuts of organic, summery techno that would sound perfectly at home pumping out of the NTS Radio speakers into a sun-baked Gillett Square.

NX14X is out on July 26. All tracks : https://nxrecords.bandcamp.com/album/nx14x

Galina Juritz - I've Got A ____ _____ Feeling

about healing

I'm trying new things again
I'm cycling through challenges
It's exceedingly gorgeous
This feeling of newness

I'm finding a new self again
A déjà vu of happenstance
Oh I aim for presence
A harmony of moments

The greatest injustice would be
To have no taste of this sympathy
To live away from mystery
And hide your true divinity

I'm trying new things again
I'm cycling through challenges
Oh I aim for presence
A harmony of moments
