Modulisme
[Repeated from Friday 11.30pm.] Modulisme (which translates as Modularism) is a series devoted to out of leftfield modular synthesis. This week: Tom Djll - composer, performer and free improvisor. Tom Djll transforms the trumpet into a volatile electronic organism, feeding breath, brass and feedback through modular synths, spectral processors, unstable filters and semi-sentient machines. Rooted equally in AACM freedom, harsh electronics and electroacoustic improvisation, these pieces move between ecstatic jazz invocation and collapsing circuitry, where melodies dissolve into swarms of metallic resonance, ghost frequencies and fractured pulses. Nothing here feels programmed or controlled: the music mutates in real time, listening to itself, destabilising itself, constantly threatening to break apart. For more information visit modular-station.com.
6:00am - 7:00am

Out To Lunch - alumnus of the Hugh Metcalfe School of Guitar - has also threatened to bring in his acoustic guitar.

Clear Spot
[Repeated from Tuesday 9pm.] pandaemoniumtubistream. A project by Alcedo, a writer and artist based in Lucca, Italy, pandaemoniumtubistream is conceived as the sonic expression of the digital archive pandaemoniumtubiproject.com. It consists of 2,646 comments extracted from YouTube, concerning demonic possession within Christian and Islamic contexts and the multiform territory of global conspiracy theories. The comments are recited – each in its original language – by the standard voices of Google Translate, totalling approximately 18 hours. Blended with the text is a field recording (24 hours) captured at the source of Rio dell’Inferno (Hell Stream), a small creek flowing through the mountains on the border between the provinces of Lucca and Pistoia. The stream is designed to loop indefinitely. Today we present a one-hour edit, divided into "three acts" of approximately 20 minutes, one for each of the three investigated areas.

Arty Facts with Master J is a show about working in the arts.

Along the way they’ll revisit the fallout from this year’s Eurovision, attempt to establish whether modern art is genius or just extremely confident mess, and drift into discussions about reality television, celebrity ego and backstage theatre politics. All that along with the usual helping of banter and nonsense. For more information visit Master J on Facebook. [Repeats Friday 3.30pm.]
