Confessions of a Barbiturate user: madness, a review part 1

At 3pm in Istopica, artist Simon Tyszko considers madness, using interviews, field recordings and sonic collage in a programme which promises to be very dark. Note: some listeners may find the graphic descriptions of the hazards of drug usage disturbing. Indeed! Considering my own dalliance with curious mental health (addiction, depression, the vapours), this is first in an occasional series on the human psyche.

Om Podcasten

Isotopica is an experimental radio series with each episode having a unique theme and flavour, starting off at point A and hopefully, ending up in another alphabet altogether. Ingredients include a mixture of sonic essays, experimental sound and music, psychogeographic and notional detours, special guests, field and location recordings, interviews, conversations, critical analysis, plus Gallery installation works and performance, and all sprinkled with cultural marxist toppings. Isotopica is initially broadcast on London's Art radio station Resonance 104.4 FM, every Sunday 7-8 pm (UTC and UTC+1 summer) and streaming on www.resonancefm.com, www.extra.resonance.fm, and now on DAB in UK.
