Book blurb for Daniela Cascella’s book, Nothing As We Need It: A Chimera (Punctum Books, 2022): Pages might lead one to the next but Cascella’s directionality is resolutely circular. She turns and returns. She takes teratological turns being initial (D.C.), electrical (direct current), compositional (da capo), plural (“something more and something else”), and dead (“not-nonfiction”). All in service of mounting a compelling argument against arguments (“the intention of having no intention”), eschewing conclusions and embracing contradictions instead. Swaying the reader into expanded notions of criticism and poetics, Cascella chimes in with a call to all: the act of writing does not call for words, it is a listening position. She dispenses with creative writing in favour of creative reading, creative listening. Forget the words on the page for a second, take time, let ears swell—a “hearing-in-reading.” Let the reading frighten you, entangle you, cause you to faint. The ensuing writing is always all ways, including impasse—syncopes welcome. From passages of arresting pellucidity to abstruse, but productive, microcontrapuntal puns (csite), Nothing As We Need It is a feint tour de faint force.

Thirty years ago I curated (with Julia Loktev and Bryan Zuraw) a radio art event titled Radio Contortions that took place at CKUT-FM Radio McGill in Montréal during the annual NCRA (National Campus/Community Radio Association) conference. This past summer VHS video documentation of the four workshops and the panel was digitized and the folks at Wave Farm were kind enough to include them on their site. The image and sound quality could be better… but the gist is there.  The four workshops were: Writing with Sound by Douglas Kahn; How to Pronounce Prosthesis and Other Language Lessons by Gregory Whitehead; Mixing Cuts and Cutting Mixes: Sound Theory to Radio Art by Frances Dyson; and The Physique of the Soul by Dan Lander.  The panel includes Frances Dyson, Douglas Kahn, Dan Lander, Julia Loktev (moderator), Wayne Morris, Helen Thorington, and Gregory Whitehead.
