༄ LISTENING GLOSSARY LAUNCH ༄

Join us at Café OTO in London to celebrate the launch of Listening Glossary edited by CRiSAP PhD Researcher Hannah Kemp-Welch and published by Spiral House, a new imprint of Silver Press.

Book contributors Lucia Farinati, Alice Eldridge, Eleanor McDowall, Suri Jiang, Moushumi Bhowmik, Luigi Monteanni, Annie Goh, Sasha Engelmann, Miriam Elgon and Hector MacInnes present short sonic offerings that form a live glossary.

The event is co-hosted by CRiSAP and will include a discussion between the editor Hannah Kemp-Welch and Bodies of Sound co-editor Irene Revell.

✍️ Find the tickets and the full programme here: https://www.cafeoto.co.uk/events/listening-glossary-launch/

LISTENING GLOSSARY brings together more than two hundred terms from art, ecology, activism, psychology, education and philosophy, spanning nine decades of thinking about listening as a way of relating to others, environments and structures of power. Its entries invite us to listen through another’s ears and from specific perspectives, encountering forms of listening that range from the non-cochlear to the interspecies. Together, they reveal listening as a critical method for understanding and transforming the worlds we inhabit.

FIELD CRAFTING

W/ Kate Carr + Lia Mazzari + Mark Peter Wright + [something’s happening]

Join an evening of field recording, live performance and experimental sound-making at Cafe OTO.

The evening will celebrate the launch of CRiSAP Director Mark Peter Wright’s new LP, 'Field Crafting', released on Flaming Pines.

Featuring live sets from Kate Carr, Lia Mazzari, Mark Peter Wright and [something's happening] Iris Colomb and Daryl Worthington, the night brings together a range of critical, playful and artful approaches to the field. Expect transmissions, foley, spoken word, improvisation, intervention and action, as artists blur the boundaries between listening and performance; recorded and live environments.

From intimate gestures and found sounds to live manipulation, voice, movement and unexpected interventions, the event invites audiences to experience field recording as more-than-documentation, foregrounding its potential as a mutable, unruly and crafty practice.

✍️ Tickets on Cafe OTO website:
https://www.cafeoto.co.uk/events/field-crafting/

Mark Peter Wright's vinyl 'Field Crafting' explores the critical, playful and pedagogical potential of field recording. The work consists of 11 tracks recorded during one afternoon in a section of woodland in North Yorkshire, UK. It asks how is the field crafted and conversely, how does the field craft recordists?

CRiSAP Presents: Electromagnetic Fields: Artistic Research and Radio Waves

Radio Symposium FM and online | 3pm-11pm (GMT+1) Tuesday 9th June 2026

With thanks to the Symposium hosts:

Soundcamp are an arts cooperative based at Stave Hill Ecological Park in Rotherhithe and Work Shop 1 in Loughborough Junction, with members in Glasgow, Berlin, Yorkshire, Crete and The Netherlands. We are interested in diy infrastructures that can move live sounds between places and situations, and give attention to less heard human and non-human communities. Our work appears as live transmissions, workshops, sound devices and events. Current projects include the annual Soundcamp / REVEIL event and broadcast over dawn chorus day each year; an open work shop and radio station at Work Shop 1, LJ:Works, South London; the activist radio series: Radio With Palestine, in collaboration with Radio al Hara; and a sister organisation in Catalunya with Barcelona-based artist pantea (So).

Kathy Hinde is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice embraces open methods and evolving processes. Through installations, performances and site specific experiences, she aims to nurture a deeper connection to the more-than-human world.

CRiSAP Presents: Electromagnetic Fields: Artistic Research and Radio Waves

Radio Symposium FM and online | 3pm-11pm (GMT+1) Tuesday 9th June 2026

Audible infrastructures:

Angus Carlyle explores environments and atmospheres as embodiments of stress and relief, with listening becoming writing, recordings, photographs and films. Powerlines, a CD of recordings of electricity in the Arctic came out in 2024.

The artworks of Claire Williams take the form of woven antennas, glass sculptures filled with plasma or devices that sense the invisible. Data of radio-telescopes, radio scanners and DIY antennas materialise themselves in knitted stitches, sound vibrations or through luminous plasma using real time energies.

Emiddio Vasquez is a Cypriot-Dominican artist, musician and theorist, whose research is shaped by the politics of matter and how they inform sound and computation. His focus on the ways these transform and resonate across media and materialities, doubles as a strategy for engaging with the ideological infrastructures at stake.
