CRITICAL WAVES RADIO

Detail from the Bike Cemetery, before it was defaced.

The first entry on here is a podcast that I made about the Bike Cemetery in Hackney Wick, now sadly, but perhaps inevitably, defaced, though some of the others are well worth a listen, too. Sonya Dyer, James O'Leary, Jo Coleman and Arthur Keegan-Boles' caught my attention, either via their subject matter or their execution, whilst they all are worth a listen (I have just spent an enjoyable evening doing exactly that).

Attentive readers might have noticed that I credit the Bike Cemetery Band or Bike Cemetery Brass in a lot of my recordings. They are named after this site, or rather, what this site was. The header to this blog, the fetching animation which scrolls the incantation "WOLF VANISH" across a zinc or aluminium strip going across a thoroughly graffitied wall, is taken from the Bike Cemetery as it was - obviously, sans animation. The podcast was made for the Critical Waves project, which is to encourage academics to find ways of making their research pod or radio-friendly (or at least amenable).

There are two programs on resonancefm to come, scheduled for Tuesday 23rd and Tuesday 30th June, 8-9pm, where some of the podcasts produced for this project will be played and discussed, mine amongst them. Tune in if you're around, or listen later online.
