No Event

Miyuki Jokiranta

October 6, 2017 [2017 Season]

No Event was written and composed by Miyuki Jokiranta. It features transplant recipient Carina Martin.


Miyuki writes: 

Time functions asymmetrically in a doctor's waiting room. Our bodies keep their own time, which is rarely calibrated to half hour appointments, and we feel we're often left waiting. The smallest procedure can stretch to fill a day, and a year on waiting list, a lifetime. No Event is a plastic moment in a waiting room.

What's inspiring her in the world of radio:

I am loving Radio Atlas and getting lost in foreign language worlds, especially the reverence for space in Nordic works.

Inspiration outside of audio: 

I've come back to the work of Tasmanian botanical artist, Lauren Black, who's observational drawings of moss blew me away the first time I saw them. The way they respect and represent the miniature is at once painstakingly meticulous and delightful.


Constellations says:

We love Miyuki's spacious and detailed approach to sound design. Her transitions between sequences pull us in and out of the narrative, as we float alongside the procedures.
