Asphyxia: The "Idiote", the Library Wifi and the Suppressed Safe #3 - Amateur - 24th May 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.

This third instalment introduces a number of irritants, including roadworks and a malfunctioning audio recorder suddenly beset with earth hum.

Perseveringly, a Zen-like zone is sought whereby the research into the Suppressed Safe can proceed without hindrance; this involves partaking in dubious meditation clickbait and learning to embrace amateurism.
