Radical Empathy, A Continuous Score, Acts 7-10: The Mixtapes Commisioned Ilyd , a digital exhibition platform for sound art www.ilyd.nu

You’re invited to join P*D*A* as the group continues to experiment with various forms of spatial and sonic public rehearsals. Act 7-10: The Mixtapes has been developed during the uncertain times of Covid-19. Working within conditions of instability that compound the restrictions on movement and isolation from others, the anxiety and fear of illness, as well as the nationalisms and racism that rallies around the virus, Act 7-10: The Mixtapes came from the need to share vulnerabilities and coping strategies while aiming to be a space of both refuge and action.

P*D*A* references a mixtape, where compilations of music are drawn from numerous sources and transitions/edits are deployed to compose a non-linear narrative arc. Each week a new playlist from Radical Empathy, A Continuous Score, Acts 7-10: The Mixtapes will rift on, borrow from, materialize, collage, and translate the social fabric around us during these precarious times. Woven in between these personal reflections and public desires are Public Service Announcements (PSAs) that serve as sonic beacons, urging vigilance when white supremacist powers amass in the wake of political instability fuelled by post truth politics during this raging pandemic.
