Name: Grief Work Episode 2 by Morenoiseradio
Duration: 1 h 11 min 4 s
Description: Recorded live on More Noise Radio 10/15. Grief Work is a series focused on the sounds that accompany rituals of grief. This week we hear the chosen funeral music of John Peel, Ryuichi Sakamoto, and me! DJ Odoggy. Along with lots of other rituals of mourning.

In this audio essay we interrogate the autoethnographic in soundscapes by engaging with the narratological nature of field recordings in their ability to convey not only affect but also memory, history, and context.

Part of Danish magazine Seismograf's open call: GRIEF – Sonic expression of loss, pain, and sadness.

This special issue has invited scholars to reflect upon the theme of »grief« in the format of an audio paper. This format, we thought, would offer authors a possibility to present their research in sound, in a way that gives the theme of grief the opportunity to be heard firsthand, not only described in text.

According to the four audio papers selected for this issue, the aesthetics and ethics of grief can swirl around communication in crisis, family grief and shame mingled with popular music, and reviving ancient rituals of mourning, namely lamenting.

All audio papers have been peer reviewed by two external anonymous reviewers and edited before publication. They were carefully selected among nine submissions.
