Radius (in the) Mix

The latest from the great broadcast/podcast Radius is an hour-long mix credited to IO.SOUND. The project’s descriptive text is fabulist, to the point of being occasionally opaque, though then again the depiction isn’t entirely out of line with the music. What might play to the reader’s eye as misdirection and unalloyed associative description (“An aural invitation into the occult loop of undead machines, caressed & broadcast with the return of the 12th planet”) might play, by contrast, to the ear as inherently strange, but pleasingly so — not evasive but intriguing, not hyperbolic but dramatic. The track list is as follows:
