How might electromagnetic listening bring sound art, environmental research, and scientific sensing into closer relation? This symposium-on-the-radio brings together artists and researchers engaging with the electromagnetic spectrum as both material and site of inquiry. Fifteen contributors present work exploring natural radio phenomena, electromagnetic listening practices and questions of spectrum access. The programme moves between artist talks, panel discussions, audio artworks and live performance. Across these presentations, artistic research offers forms of situated knowledge production, operating alongside and in dialogue with social, scientific and technological methodologies.

The symposium is hosted on the radio by artist cooperative Soundcamp and locally from their studio in London. The event is made possible by support from London College of Communication Research Department @lcclondon ...................

HOTHOUSE Irish Arts Center, NYC (2024/2025) *New York Times Critics Pick* ‘A production of such unbridled brilliance it’s practically flawless’—THE ARTS REVIEW ‘Burning questions from this company of flamethrowers’ - GUARDIAN ‘Deadly serious and wildly funny…a rollicking performance’—THE IRISH TIMES ‘Hothouse brandishes loopiness and wisecracks to fend off despair, without being afraid of emotion.’ - NEW YORK TIMES CRITICS PICK Writer: Carys Coburn with MALAPROP Original Songs and Music: Anna Clock Director: Claire O’Reilly Set and Costume Designer: Molly O’Cathain Lighting Designer: John Gunning Producer: Caoimhe Whelan Sound Design: Anna Clock Choreographer: Paula O’Reilly & Deirdre Griffin Production Manager: Grace Halton Stage Manager: Sara Gannon Assistant Stage Manager: Dragana Stevanic Sound Engineer: El Theodorou Performed by: Ebby O’Toole Acheampong, Thommas Kane Byrne, Peter Corboy, Bláithín Mac Gabhann, Maeve O’Mahony

A CHRISTMAS CAROL Gate Theatre, Dublin, 2025/26 ‘The musical arrangements are a particular highlight of the production. We’re never far from another song, with some modern interpretations of many yuletide classics.’ - NO MORE WORKHORSE ‘Anna Clock’s charming arrangements of favourite carols ring out as clear as the little handbells, which accompany the players’ a cappella harmonies. In contrast, Wren Dennehy’s feathered and frilled operatic diva and Michael Trent’s glittering soul singer give a whole new musical edge to the ghosts of Christmas past and present, while a silent Grim Reaper presides over horrors yet to come. The whole thing is a delight, a guaranteed prescription to cure the winter gloom.’ - THE STAGE ‘Camp, smart-allecky, self-aware, and fun’ - IRISH EXAMINER Writer: Neil Bartlett Director: Claire O’Reilly Composer and Musical Director: Anna Clock Set Designer: Good Teeth Costume Designer: Catherine Fay Costume Supervisor: James Seaver Lighting Designer: John Gunning Sound Designer: Carl Kennedy Assistant Sound Designer: Ultan de Stáinléigh Movement Director: Paula O’Reilly Video Designer: David Van Wolvelaere Assistant Director: Emma Finegan Photos: Ros Kavanagh CAST Marley / Ensemble: Fiona Bell Ghost of Christmas Past / Ensemble: Wren Dennehy Scrooge: Lloyd Hutchinson Bob Cratchit / Ensemble: Emmet Kirwan Fred / Ensemble: Síofra Ní Éilí Ms. Fezziwig / Ensemble: Maeve O’Mahony Apprentice Scrooge / Ensemble: Ian O’Reilly Ghost of Christmas Present / Ensemble: Michael Tient

DUCHESS OF MALFI Sam Wanamaker Theatre, Shakespeare’s Globe, 2024 ‘The production has one of the best scores I’ve heard in a play over recent years, a quartet scored by Anna Clock with prominent roles for double bass and bass clarinet’ - The Arts Desk ‘Bolstered by the composer Anna Clock’s perceptive, jazz-inflected live score, Bagshaw and the actors ensure that their various paths to destruction are always sharply involving ‘ - The Times ‘The hymn-like music in the first half gives way to more jazzy strains with the orchestra coming on to the back of the stage and a saxophone predominating. Clock often works in a participatory and collaborative way, and their music here is never imposed but seems to emanate from the action.’ - Plays International ‘The action is accompanied by a brassy avant-garde jazz score by Anna Clock’ - WhatsOnStage CREATIVE TEAM Director: Rachel Bagshaw Composer: Anna Clock Set & Costume Designer: Ti Green Movement & Intimacy Director: Ingrid Mackinnon Musical Director: Joley Cragg Band: Sarah Homer, Joley Cragg, Carina Cosgrave, Shirley Tetteh Access Consultant: Zoë Halliday Assistant Director: Roberta Zuric Associate Movement & Intimacy Director: Ana Beatriz Meireles Candle Consultant: Sally Ferguson Caption Designer: Sarah Readman Casting Director: Becky Paris CDG Costume Supervisor: Sabia Smith Dramaturg: Zoë Svendsen Fight Director: Rae Bown-Williams Fight Director: Ruth Cooper-Brown Text Consultant: Giles Taylor Voice Coach: Kay Welch Wellbeing, Cultural and Diversity Consultant: Carol Cumberbatch Photographs 1,3,5,9: Mark Brenner CAST: Lorraine Adefaya, Jamie Ballard, David Burnett, Joshua Dunn, Tamzin Griffin, Oliver Huband, Arthur Hughes, Oliver Johnstone, Poppy Kunorubwe, Hari MacKinnon, Francesca Mills, Shazia Nicholls, Glyn Pritchard, Ela Soetan

FAITH HEALER 
Lyric Hammersmith, 2024 ‘Quietly spellbinding’ - Financial Times ‘Perfectly-pitched’ - Evening Standard

‘A searing piece of theatrical alchemy’ - AJH Loves Theatre ‘Anna Clock’s sound design is understated – until a single, shocking burst of doom-laden strings near the climax. The rest of the time, Clock’s score is so subdued that it almost feels subliminal, with looping drones and hollow rumbles thrumming beneath the spoken text.’ - The Stage ‘Anna Clock’s sound and Paul Keogan’s lighting help cue the grievous reckoning toward which the play builds’ - London Theatre
