#557 Two radiopieces from Radia.fm
1. Startalk
Startalk is an audio/visual radio art piece depicting a network and history of seven independent Black radio stations in the US through paint, chalk, and sound. This work was informed by an ever-expanding audio/visual system that converts absolute locations into frequencies based on prompts centering Black music and autonomous Black spaces/entities. The audio component for Startalk was first broadcasted on Wave Farm’s WGXC 90.7 FM in July 2025, and the visual component first showed at Sanman Studios in November 2025.

2. Mouvement de Panik
A wave is the propagation over time of a disturbance that produces a reversible variation in the local physical properties of the medium as it passes through it.
It travels at a specific speed that depends on the characteristics of the medium through which it propagates. »
Transmissions of digressions
Digressions in transmissions
Navigating between broadcasts, navigating between sounds, navigating between voices
Like water sprites gliding across the waves.
Movement of crowds
Movement of bodies
Movement of sounds
Modulations under tension
Vibrations, alterations, revolutions and rotations
To feel the world wobble and sway
To sublimate in hertz the ersatz of our resistance in perpetual modulations.
This episode is a collage of excerpts from programmes produced during Radio Panik’s cross-disciplinary programming « Mouvement de Panik » which took place from 17 November to 18 December 2026.
