radio broadcast, 22 min, 2025, radiophrenia.
the broadcast uses the decommissioning process of the hunterston a and b nuclear sites to explore the exhaustion of the nuclear dream and the residues it has left on the Clyde coastline.
made in collaboration with dianne burdon as part of wider research collaboration ‘extense’.
the surround of hunterston is drawn out in sound, summoning the material and affective sediments that linger in and around the site, and the infrastructural overwriting enacted on the landscape by palimpsestic energy imaginaries.
the composition is centred around a series of geophone recordings taken during the FieldARTS residency with the infrastructure humanities group. low-frequency hums are drawn out from hunterston’s material landscape to become drones, pulling in and out of harmony, evoking sonic spectres that linger beyond the edges of auditory perception.
this work will be broadcast for radiophrenia 2025. contact for access.
