PLAYING ONLY THE WEIRDDEST + BESTEST MUSIC.
Programme Portfolio
Greetings Glorious Oddballs!
This is Weirdd fm, a radio station that is a love letter from one creative soul to another, made in the hopes of reaching into the void and touching the psyches of like-minded individuals.
Weirdd fm is a unique piece of living art through which the makers seek to learn about themselves and the world, and invite you to connect with them through shared curiosities that reveal simple but sublime truths about the ever present energy that is the life-giving force for humans, and also the undercurrent for all our interactions with our environment. This transmission sets out to make sense of the human condition through a unique storytelling pattern of interpolating music, profound poetic musings, random facts and even jokes, all underscored by a strategic scatter of creative noise.
It is an immersive exploration of design, art, music, mess and noise(D.A.M.N!), and when listening in, one is meant to feel as though they are casually switching between different radio transmissions, and thereby indulging in a plethora of art prepared in a distinct, unorthodox format that teases the senses and jump-starts one’s imagination.
You are compelled to come and commune in a haven where you will be guided through what it means to fully observe yourself and how you fit into the world around you. You are also encouraged to Embrace The Weirdd, and instead of giving in to the confusion and fear it might bring, and the need to retract back to the normal, allow it to turn into curiosity, to lead you to nonconformity, channel your intuitiveness and in turn, transform you.
Tap into the Frequency. Listen to the Noise.

SEASON ONE
WEIRDD FM | PILOT: 00000 (EP. 1)
Life is to be lived.
Humanness is a unique curiosity not only because of the strange phenomenon of being alive, of being in existence rather than not, but also because of how colourful the experience of being alive can be.
In this episode, we explore the complexities and intricacies of being human, and hold up a mirror to the chaos that comes with it.
We present the idea of ART as an entity essential to the human experience, an energy that is alive, and artists as vessels meant to transmute this energy into the world. An artist is a god, creating whole worlds others can live in.
Music as a form of art is a conduit of charged thought turned into speech, then into prayer, and in listening to the music, you partake of and complete the ritual.
Let go and let it touch the places it needs to reach.

WEIRDD FM | WE WEIRDD ONIONS (EP. 3)
When we engage with the world around and within us, we peel back the layers of our being, and find new revelations within ourselves. It is in our self-interest to be eager and curious to learn about one another, not from a place of fear but rather from a place of love and hope.
These lessons are conveyed through language, which is both the chaperone and soundtrack of human interaction. Language not only makes us able to communiate
with each other, but it is also a marker used to map out the evolution of human behaviour. Language is a spell. It is through language that we pass the current of
magic down generations.
Tune in to engage with such reflections as these above, interspersed with interesting facts, as well as eccentric jokes, and music you’ve probably never heard before.

WEIRDD FM | THE 4TH WALL (EP. 4)
The 4th wall is all about Creating from a place of Freedom and Love. Creation is our day-to-day living. The cover art for this episode depicts what breaking the 4th wall could mean; Doing Hard Sh!t. And Oh! A Weirddly Happy New Year to you and yours. The voices at the end are of my Lover and I after midnight on the rooftop.
(When the Little Alien’s asleep. ;)). These lessons are conveyed through language, which is both the chaperone and soundtrack of human interaction. Language not only makes us able to communiate with each other, but it is also a marker used to map out the evolution of human behaviour. Language is a spell.
