Philipp Höning - Dilemmas Accumulate Radio version
The text consists of a protocol, written by an astronaut inside the ISS. The nameless astronaut seems to be born into this environment and has no concept of of zero gravity envitonments. The darkness outside is conceived as a black mass. He begins to take samples, without success. We never really know if he is surrounded by a crew or alone. Slowly every idea of space and time is eroding, language and his „I“ begin to disintegrate in the process. Dark visions take hold of him and soon the difference between dream, reality; memory and present consciousness collapses totally. He becomes obsessed by the idea that the Space Station is constantly falling away from earth into the wrinkles and foldings of the black space backdrop. In a helpless move he tries to establish radio contact to Voyager 2, which is floating on the fringes of our solar system.

Matt Harding & Esmeralda Valencia Lindström - The Mask - A radio play in six acts featuring Mask, Turf, Nuts, Wind and Keys
This sound piece takes the form of a radio play where the main action is the throwing of objects back and forth between two people. Using the cross fade as a device to suggest a narrative structure and echoing the language of radio plays, a range of recordings of throwing objects in differing contexts and settings are edited together.
The act of throwing materials back and forth has been an ongoing method of research exploring intersubjectivity and agency in materials both through sound recordings and performance. The piece reflects on our relationship with materials and objects and what it means to be continuously involved in and with matter.
Matt Harding is a musician and sound artist who has released albums with Heavenly and Moshi Moshi Records. Most recently he has been working with performances based around deconstructing ‘The Cabinet of Dr Caligari’ including pieces at the Klingt Gut Festival, Hamburg and a residency at Gordon House, Margate. He has also written the soundtrack to British film High Tide and exhibited at Hackney Wicked festival and the Freud Museum. He is due to release his next album later this year
