Asphyxia: The "Idiote", the Library Wifi and the Suppressed Safe #11 - Fever - 26th July 2023

Originally commissioned in 2022 as part of Radio Art Zone's tapestry of 22-hour radio productions, this project by Daniel R. Wilson is re-presented here in episodic form. 'Asphyxia' hacks the antagonising systems which thwart and forestall projects (its name also acknowledges the asphyxiating atmosphere of long-form radio when made by a single person). It is a damaged would-be radio documentary exploring the Narnia of restricted access material and gatekept employment.

A fever takes hold over this episode, but the willpower to continue researching persists. When these two things collide, you can be sure that you're in for one hell of a rollercoaster of ride full of spills and thrills without a moderating pragmatist for miles. Perceptual loops present themselves, of varying tiresomeness. A loud music event outdoors prompts our poorly narrator to trace the sound's source, causing a new genre of music to emerge: 'creepbeat', the sampling of music from unreasonably long lonely distances.
