Muck Studies Department Presents: Transmission from No Point of Return Bleep Blop Bloop (2021)

by Geo Wyex

6 channel audio, speakers, handheld radios, FM transmitters, media player, wires, holes, walls, fan, gold ribbon, green light, green glitter, zip ties, ‘Positive Women’ scarf stuffed in speaker, shea butter, potting soil, used sunglasses, office chair from museum storage

In his ongoing radio play, Geo Wyex places his character Muck Studies Dept, a municipal agent who “studies” mud at the bottom of waterways by gently wading through it, at an undisclosed location somewhere at an imagined Bottom of Everything – perhaps at the beginning of a perceivable universe.  Piping in through holes in the walls, various sounds create a roaming constellation of references – metallic rattling, feedback, shards of a musical score – that point to a history of implosion, obliteration, and scatter, a blackness that precedes, as “matter beyond the equation of value.” (Denise Ferreira da Silva)

Over an FM transmission, the character speaks of stars, gas, ass, water, holes, and running as a means of destabilizing the present ground.

6-kanaals audio, luidsprekers, portofoons, FM-zenders, mediaspeler, draden, gaten, muren, ventilator, gouden lint, groen licht, groene glitter, kabelbinders, ‘Positive Women’ sjaal in luidspreker gepropt, sheaboter, potgrond, gebruikte zonnebril, bureaustoel uit museumopslag

In zijn lopende radiospel plaatst Geo Wyex zijn personage Muck Studies Dept, een gemeenteagent die de modder op de bodem van waterwegen “bestudeert” door er voorzichtig doorheen te waden, op een geheime locatie ergens op een denkbeeldige Bodem van Alles – misschien aan het begin van een waarneembaar universum. Verschillende geluiden die door gaten in de muren naar binnen komen, creëren een dolende constellatie van referenties – metalen geratel, feedback, flarden van een muzikale partituur – die wijzen op een geschiedenis van implosie, uitwissen en verstrooiing, een blackness die voorafgaat, als “materie voorbij de vergelijking van waarde”. (Denise Ferreira da Silva)

Via een FM-transmissie spreekt het personage over sterren, gas, kont, water, gaten en rennen als middel om de huidige grond te destabiliseren.
