Asphyxia: The "Idiote", the Library Wifi and the Suppressed Safe #12 - Creepbeat - 2nd August 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.

At this mid-point crisis in the series, a discourse on the new genre of music, 'creepbeat', is provided. Creepbeat emerged as a viable "going concern" during investigations into a remote music event. As with breakbeat, sampled 'beats' are creepily sought, albeit dulled through distance - the creepbeat producer works with the sonic dregs of a faraway revelry.
