NRRF is a collaborative effort to make unlicensed translocal neighborhood radio art. NRRF mashes b-list film genres with radio art to structure the improvisational nature of its shows.

NRRF - B - Radio - Voyage To The Forbidden Planet

Visiting Grandpa is a multi-channel soundscape based on my memories of my grandfather. It was written when I learned that the Iranian revolutionary guard demolished the historic cemetery of Baha'is in Shiraz (Iran), where my grandfather's remains were buried as well as those of many other Baha'is'.
I'd like to thank my husband, Kamran Fallah, for the translation of the original text into English; Nika Khanjani, for her powerful narration of the story; and Roya Sepehri, for creating a serene atmosphere by chanting prayers beautifully in Persian.

Piece for objects found in the street (2021)
by Anne-F Jacques

realised by Ryoko Akama on 10th January
objects collected between Almondbury Village and Huddersfield town in the midst of national lock down 2021.

My usual scavenging people's skips and picking up litters from street ceased in April 2020. It was an important life routine. In the meantime, I walk more in the deep woods from small to large. 

Objects used here were collected during my one hour walk. not too perfect but did the tasks. 

One thing impossible was 'take-out coffee' so an old and small cardboard box with a lid was used.

Piece For Objects Found In The Street

Music Concrete, Noise, Minimal. For Art’s 1 000 058th birthday and Anne-F

o.t. (pour Anne - F.)

Based on a text score by Anne-F Jacques as part of Art's Birthday 2021 with NAISA. Sounds recorded with mics inside a tin can and open placement. Found objects. Post production - noise reduction only, no effects, no EQ, no compression.

Sounds from a can - Art's Birthday

Realization of a text score by Anne-F Jacques for Art's Birthday 2021. The text score required one to use a take out coffee cup and lid over top of a microphone or portable audio recorder - in a sense, taking the place of a contact microphone. I didn't have a paper coffee cup on hand so I used a portable coffee thermos.  The last part of the score asks to open the window or door, allowing some outside sound in.  However, the day of the recording the sound ambience was very quiet - mid-winter in the country.  So this last part is difficult to discern other than the playing of the objects is captured through air transmission rather than through the material of an object such as coffee thermos.

Realization of Anne-F Jacques' "Piece for objects found in the Street"
