Elizabeth Veldon & Mary Knox
A Shorter History of Radio

This piece discusses the history of radio as a medium both for entertainment and as a tool for the propagation of propaganda. The piece is for two players and will feature texts drawing on both literary and academic representations of radio, electronic music and the sounds of radio itself.

Elizabeth Veldon is a musician, composer and poet who's work focuses on many aspects of music and art but with a particular interest in the use of music in spiritual practices and it's use as a political tool. Mary Knox is an artist who's work embraces visual, musical and performative practices.

The Balderwick Codex

“A New Statistical Account of the Parish of Balderwick and Environs. Including: a Sucking Bog, an Importunate Erection, a Dead Dad, Fish Slaughter, Two Pricks and a Man, a Worthy Man, in Happy Mood, Conversing with a Fly.”

Jim Colquhoun often works pseudonymously as, variously, Captain Hate, Grp Cpt Lionel Mandrake-Hayter and The Institute of/for Pataphysical Cartography. His work celebrates the lost and the re-forgotten and attempts to transcend the redundant either/or ness of our current mystico-materialist paradigm. Jamie McNeill produces electronic sounds under the names Burnt Altar, Estaitis and DJ Singer-
Songwriter amongst others. He also produces artworks with brother Rickie, which have been described as “scrambled but predominately orthogonal.
