Speak My Language explores the entanglement of sound, speech and music. Each month, the show features a guest, radio fictions and a curated playlist.

On this month’s Speak My Language: Jasmin Blasco and transdisciplinary artist Phil Peters discuss Phil’s work, including his participation in the inaugural show at The Canary Test, Psychic Plumbing… AND A SPECIAL LAST MINUTE GUEST.

Philip Peters received an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, IL and a BA from Carleton College in Northfield, MN. In 2014-15 he co-founded and curated an artist run project space LODGE (In Service of the Dark Arts), Chicago, IL. Recent exhibitions of his work include “Build Carry” at The Arts Club of Chicago’s Drawing Room (2017), participation in “Untitled(house)” at the Illinois State Museum, Lockport, IL (2018), and Outside/In at LAXART, Los Angeles, CA (2019). He recently finished a year-long residency at the Galveston Artist Residency in Galveston, TX and now lives and works in Los Angeles, CA.

Philip Peters looks at wires that he uses to pick up sounds deep within the earth in his studio at the Galveston Artist Residency on Wednesday, Dec. 5, 2018. Peters has been pursuing a research-based sound project on the acoustics of the earth at points of geologic activity.
