Ilia Rogatchevski
Selected Radio Works

Single UK 2017 on Feline Vomitus label
Electronic and Spoken Word (Abstract, Experimental, Noise, Sound Art)

'Selected Radio Works' compiles three recordings that engage with different notions of radio. 'Mute Frequencies' and '60Hz Studio Ambience' combine to explore the characteristics of radio as an electromagnetic phenomenon. 'Souvenir', on the other hand, is a composition about memory, texture and documentation. Constructed from sampled charity shop LPs, VLF recordings and AM radio sweeps, the work explores parallel notions of one’s creative practice and the necessity to document the results of that practice. The tracks are sequenced in a linear fashion so as to suggest movement from the corporeal world of voice and texture (engineered radio) into the liminal spaces of electromagnetic waves, whistlers and sferics (natural radio). 'Selected Radio Works' debuted as a special broadcast on Glasgow's temporary arts radio station, Radiophrenia, on 6 November 2017. 'Souvenir' and '60Hz Hum, Studio Ambience and Air Ambulance' were composed, performed and recorded by Ilia Rogatchevski. 'Mute Frequencies' was performed by Ilia Rogatchevski and Laura Michelle Smith. Recorded live at Dilston Grove Gallery, London on 10 December 2016 with overdubs added at a later date.
