Voidwave is a current and ongoing radio show that features work from artists who use experimental sound, performance, field recordings, spoken word, and other disobedient audio speculations – adventures into sound and conversations with the people who made them. Embedded in these sounds are rebelliousness and longing, hunger for new subversive futures, irreverence, determined perseverance, uncompromising politics, and includes a celebration of lineages that spans across time and the globe. Voidwave is a web of experimental voices, sounds, and interviews with a focus on work by femme, queer, and gender non-conforming folx.
We have exciting news and plans upcoming. Keep your ears open!

Voidwave is currently a collaboration by multidisciplinary artists Melissa Vogley Woods in Ohio, Liz Roberts in Berkeley, and Kim Zumpfe and Katya Urban in Los Angeles. Voidwave was started by Melissa, Liz, and Gina Osterloh as an extension of their band Fistgig. All graphics, text, and website design is created by Melissa.
I currently direct the show, but this could change, as I totally welcome change. I was invited to join the co-production of Voidwave after I worked with these fabulous people to feature my own sound works. My direction of contributing to Voidwave is to create a broader vision of what and who constitutes experimental sound practices historically and in contemporary practice, beyond the current canons of sound art.
