Abstract

This article explores the role of radio sound in establishing what I term affective rhythms in everyday life. Through exploring the affective qualities of radio sound and its capacity for mood generation in the home, this article explores personal affective states and personal organization. The term affective rhythm relates both to mood and to routine. It is the combination of both that allows the possibility of thinking about sound and affect, and how they relate to, and integrate with, routine everyday life. The notion of affective rhythm forces us to consider the idea of mood in the light of the routine nature of everyday domestic life.
