For the second episode of the season my guests are Judy Dunaway, who is currently doing a residency at iii, and Rafaele Andrade, an iii workspace member. Rafaele is currently in Iceland doing a different residency and joined the conversation online.

Judy has worked with using balloons as sound conduits in various settings for many years and is presenting versions of some of her works here at iii. She is also investigating the biodegradability of latex balloons and seeing what research has been done in this space. Rafaele is currently working on multiple projects, many of which are connected to the instrument she developed herself called 'Knurl'. 

Among other things, we talk about creating new instruments, how long it takes latex to decompose, and harvesting the sound energy of a musical concert to use as a renewable energy source. Both Rafaele and Judy have developed their own Instruments, and are interested in the sustainable production of said instruments, which made this quite an insightful episode and definitely worth a listen, so check it out. :)
