Since 2017, the poetry-sound project Cloud Circuit has built its practice around communication glitches and lost connections. Poet Deanna Radford channels and mixes iterative text into deconstructed words of mouth and facial gesture, while sound artist Jeremy Young employs sine waves in flux, 1/4" magnetic tape, and captured radio airs. In performance, Cloud Circuit's approach is collaborative; their sound is improvisational, structured but grid-less; it is dissected and then refracted into the present tense. In 2020, Cloud Circuit released its debut EP, Bur sting brea k'r, with Archive Officielle, and performed as part of Vicky Mettler and Zach Scholes’ Live in Concrete series, which was issued on 10” lathe-cut vinyl and cassette. In 2023, the group served as “Ambassadors of the Embassy of Utopia” at the Prima Vista International Festival in Tartu, Estonia. In 2024, Cloud Circuit sonified Radford’s contribution to R A D I O, a poetry zine in print and sound published by Occulto, in a collaborative performance with Martin Rodriguez for Berlin’s Errant Sound space. Cloud Circuit has shared the stage with artists including: Phew, Sam Prekop, Lea Bertucci, David Grubbs, Vito Ricci, crys cole & James Rushford, Jessica Pavone, skin Tone, Alex Zhang Hungtai, Paul Dutton, Ron Whitehead, Sarah Pagé, Greg Davis, Khaleefa "Apollo the Child" Hamdan, Alessandra Eramo, Rafael Toral, Jessica Ackerley, and more. https://cloudcircuit.ca/ ----------- Conyer Clayton is a queer writer and editor from Louisville, a dual US-Canadian citizen living between Ottawa and Kentucky.
