…through the vocoders grafted to the Cochlea*

In partnership with Bus Projects, we announce the launch of Crawl Space Radio (CSR). A collaboration between Samm Sutton and Lucy Dodd, Crawl Space Radio is an artist-led experiment in techno-institutional broadcasting.

Imagined as a contemporary theatre of sonic art, performance, experimental music, talks, criticism, audio workshops, and reading groups, CSR is a platform supporting interdisciplinary, critical, and speculative work that attunes (to)/detunes (from) the currents of our time.

Live on-air from Nov 11, we’re pleased to present an initial program of exciting artists and collaborators with more to be announced.

Crawl Space Radio operates and broadcasts on the traditional lands of the Wurunderi Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to elders past and present and acknowledge that sovereignty has never been ceded.

Crawl Space Radio would like to thank our advisory board, Polly Stanton and Byron Dean for their ongoing contributions and assistance in producing CSR.

Samm Sutton is an artist, producer, sometimes-writer and co-founder of Pretend Radio living in Naarm (Melbourne). Working across multiple disciplines and media, his practice most recently organises around the socially aggregated ways we code ourselves into channels, streams, and platforms of self expression.

Lucy Dodd is an arts worker, programmer and (uncategorised) creator dipping her figurative toes into sporadic projects adhering to no discernible theme (just the way she likes it). Lucy is a co-founder of Pretend Radio and has an interest in creating spaces exploring the interlocking relationships between physical, virtual and sonic realms. She is based in Naarm (Melbourne).
