Absolute Value Of Noise And Anna Friz: Water Line/Estuary Almanac
"Water Line" is a generative audio piece by Absolute Value of Noise and Anna Friz that imagines the space between the tides and between salt and fresh water - depending on the height of the tides, the listener is above or below the water surface. The lapping of mussels, the crawling and loud hissing of crabs, the pawing of sand fleas, the slow movements of shellfish. Real environmental sounds are mixed with compositional interpretations of bodies of water and their environment, from kelp forests and flood zones to mud flats and marshy areas, from flood plains to rocky coves. The piece was originally commissioned by Deutschlandfunk Kultur and Ö1 Kunstradio for the annual project KONTINUUM. It ran from April 2023 to June 2024 as an ongoing 1 year+ generative radio work.

Action Pyramid: Confluence, 2024
Situated on the lower tidal reaches of London’s river Lea, Cody Dock is a centre for arts, community, culture and learning. Originally presented as a 6.1 sound installation on the site, Confluence takes cues from a recent ecology report detailing the wealth of unexpected biodiversity within Cody Dock’s superficially industrial and urban location, and looks to highlight this often hidden and unsung web of more-than-human life through sound recordings made during an extensive period of listening and field recording. A special thank you to the creatures whose voices feature in this work, including those from the River Lea whose identities remain a mystery. Confluence was created as the result of Cody Dock's 2023/4 Lighting Up The Lea environmental arts commission. With support from Cockayne Grants for the Arts, The London Community Foundation and National Lottery Heritage Fund. Tom Fisher is a sound artist and musician working primarily under the name Action Pyramid.

Aled Simons, Bláithín Mac Donnell, Tom Cardew: Preserving Hole
A meteorite, a spoil tip, a mountain or an island. A fatberg. A co-authored story entangling fact, fiction and anecdotal prose. Three voices become one narrator, Celtic myth, folktales, traditions and superstitions are merged, layered and retold. A hole or a bog, subterranean preservation - like a time capsule in a biscuit tin with a dodgy lid, buried 40 years ago but the water got in. What happens when fact becomes anecdote? Preserving Hole is a conversational collaboration emerging from research sharing and exploration of practice intersections; fused in tangential storytelling, narrative building and myth making. Unearthing spurious information and hearsay to present a loose-narrative audiobook. Produced by Aled Simons (Wales), Bláithín Mac Donnell (Ireland) and Tom Cardew (Wales).
Alessandro Bosetti: Il Cielo Uno è
In November 2023, Alessandro Bosetti was invited by musician Donato Epiro to Castrignano de Greci, a Grika-speaking town (with Byzantine and ancient Greek roots) in Salento, to work on the sonic particularities of this unique language, preserved over the centuries in an enclave of a few thousand speakers in the heart of the Mediterranean. In "il cielo uno è" a list of nouns consistently repeated and declined in the instances of the Grika language is compiled. Such a list maps a world that not only extends horizontally over the territory of Salentinian Greece but also sinks deeply along the vertical of time and from which it brings out words and meanings that are ancient but still surprisingly close. Produced by Alessandro Bosetti.
Alex Quérel: Radio Gose Choeur Nomade
Choeur tact-til, a mixed sighted and non-sighted vocal ensemble, discovers multiple resonances with Japanese musical practices, and sets off to meet the Goze, nomadic Japanese blind women musicians.

Alëna Korolëva: Night Life On The Little Lakes
This composition is made from sounds recorded over four nights in June 2023 near Little Lakes on the Territory of the Anishnabek Nation also known as Huron County in Ontario, Canada. These lakes are located in a patch of old-growth forest which is currently under the threat of erasure by a gravel company. While the local community has worked diligently to protect the forest and its irreplaceable ecosystem, the gravel company hired “experts” to make an environmental assessment which uncovered no significant animal life and specifically noted that there were no amphibians in this area. You might believe this statement if you stop by for a moment during the day, but if you happen to be there after dark, your ears will tell you a different story. This composition features green frogs, American bullfrogs, coyotes, redwing blackbirds, black-capped chickadees, mourning doves, roosters, red squirrels, crickets, raccoons, rabbits, beavers, and a few unidentified species. Produced by Alëna Korolëva.

Alëna Korolëva: Sunset At The Marble Quarry
Sunset at the bottom of a giant abandoned marble quarry. Pigeons circle in the lower levels, offering the sound of wings, while starlings and swallows gather near the mouth of the pit, 50 meters above. The natural acoustics of the steep walls allow each bird cry to resonate in a living echo chamber, as if there were thousands not hundreds of birds gathering. Recorded in Borba, Portugal. October 12, 2022. Produced by Alëna Korolëva.
Amble Skuse: Sonic Lamp
This work is created from interviews and archive footage of people who served as medics in the armed forces. They range from the first world war to present day. The piece is intended to be a continuous loop, so you can come in and sit as long as you please, there is no start and no end. The structure of the piece was based on data from the Office of National Statistics, detailing the amount of armed service people who died per year from the first world war to present day. Each year is attributed a minute in the piece, and the heartbeats that you hear are set at the bpm (beats per minute) to the number of deaths via a data-based algorithm. The intensity of the rain noise is also fluctuates with the frequency of the number of deaths. Produced by Amble Skuse. A Cryptic Commission for Sonica Festival.

Andrew O’Connor: Tune In: Homer
A recorded excerpt of a site-specific sound installation for radios and low watt FM transmitters created in Homer Alaska at the Bunnell Street Arts Centre. Multiple transmitters are set up in an array throughout the landscape, each broadcasting (on the same frequency 89.1FM) a unique collage of sound and story about the immediate surrounding. As you walk through the landscape with a radio tuned different signals fall in and out of range, each signal a unique collage of sound and story that explores the resonating history and memory that animates the landscape. Each collage is of a slightly different length and plays on a loop 24/7 creating a structure in constant flux, a narrative work with no fixed order that is never the same twice. The recording submitted is a snapshot of the work up and running, made on site through a radio in the streets and beaches of Homer. Produced by Andrew O'Connor.

Anna Friz: Revenant
Revenant is a radio art work which explores mortality, rot, and regeneration, using electronic and radiophonic instruments, and field recordings made both below and above ground. The first part reflects on a summer of extreme heat and wildfire, and the desire to escape into the safety of a burrow underground. The second reconsiders the mythical journey of the living into the underworld, wondering what kind of organism does one need to become to burrow down to the earth in order to reunite with a deceased loved one? The creatures who move easily through the soil are often considered abject: insects, rodents, serpents, worms. A journey to the underworld requires metamorphosis of body and senses on the quest for visitation with the dead. Commissioned by ORF Kunstradio and recorded in the mighty RP4 studios of the ORF Funkhaus in Vienna and on various locations in Santa Cruz, California. Produced by Anna Friz.

Anne Jeppesen: Reality Looks Back
When you watch a particle it acts like a particle, but when you look away, it does a whole other thing. This story explores modes of experiencing the strange quantum basis of an everyday life. It journeys through split déja-vu, Schrödinger’s hamster and the clouds of possibilities that are hiding just beyond our reach. Produced by Anne Jeppesen under the mentorship of Cristal Duhaime as part of the YASS! mentorship programme. Visit superposition.dk.
Anne Lepère: Mouras
The Mouras guard the earth's hidden secrets. At the mouth of a cave, beneath a monolith, or in the mist of a hot spring, their enchanting presence watches over the entrances to mystical places, gauging the soul of anyone who wishes to enter these sacred sanctuaries. Adventurous voices set out to encounter these Galician mythological beings, seeking the secrets etched in stone and the magical tales sedimented over millennia. Will their songs reach the depths of the earth? Will they receive the Mouras' permission to pass? And will we be able to listen to the secrets that rise through geological layers, echoing as whispers in the hollows of our own bodies? Produced by Anne Lepère. Voices: Karina Mouriño, teacher of the school of Taboexa, Galicia, Marion Sage and Anne Lepère. Children’s voices: Emil Sebastião, Artai, Brais, Einar, Xurxo, Xián, Baia Rosalía, Seixo. Based on the legends of the Mouras and the stories of Karina Mouriño. Additional poetry, recordings, composition and mixing: Anne Lepère. Special thanks to Marion Sage, Thomas Wyatt, Karina Mouriño, Jeanne Debarsy and Mark Vernon. Photo credit: Marion Sage. Visit www.annelepere.net.
Anne Versailles: Garanas Lokte
mmersion in the far north, where the wind blows, the snow cracks and the ice rolls and scraps. Where one does not enter by chance, but by leaving the comfort of daily certainties. Where we lose our footing and our bearings, where we sink into these wide valleys dominated by icy mountains, until we let ourselves be crossed by the raven, which flies away. How do we deal with the retreat of the North as we know it?
Garanas Lokte is composed exclusively with field recording in Swedish Lapland by
Anne Versailles.

Assembling Land: Episode 1, Imagining Land (On Palestine)
Weaving together found footage, Palestinian folk songs, musings on resistance and solidarity, we rehearse a sonic protest in search for alternative ways of sharing knowledge. Assembling Land: Rehearsals Towards Place-making is de Appel’s COOP study group at DAI Roaming Academy which unfolded throughout 2024. Through the group’s monthly encounters, five podcasts share the harvest of each iteration with attuned overarching themes as departure points. This first episode was initiated in January 2024 at Nida Art Colony in Lithuania, during Confluence 1: Imagining Land & Water.
Assembling Land: Episode 2. Storytelling: Who Owns The Narrative?
From synchronicity to asynchronicity, affect to effect. In movement and stillness. Through somatic practices, we initiated a circular form of being together in space, sharing stories in non-linear ways. As a result, an ever-moving chain of sonic and written matter was assembled, creating a mode of sharing agencies and stories from sender to receiver; from receiver to receiver. This episode invites listeners to attend our chain of correspondences and letter-making, as reflections of personal and worldly perspectives—gestures of staying together. Assembling Land: Rehearsals Towards Place-making is de Appel’s COOP study group at DAI Roaming Academy which unfolded throughout 2024.
Assembling Land: Episode 3, I Am Of Water, Of Water Are You
The third episode of Assembling Land: Rehearsals Towards Place-making, initiated in April 2024 in Essaouira, Morocco. Here, we gathered to reason around water as an ever-present, essential resource that implies questions of accessibility, land dispossession, and climate crisis, to foster communal strategies of resilience amidst systems of oppression and supremacy. Each story is carried by sounds of field recordings, original productions, traditional songs and contemporary compositions harvested for, or in response to, Assembling Land’s and our own individual trajectories. Our solidarity with Palestine remains at the core of our practice. This podcast intertwines and amplifies struggles across places and seas. I am of water, of water I am includes sonic works by Palestinian and Lebanese artists Jawaher Shofani, Maya al Khaldi, Sary Moussa and Charbel Haber, acting as intermissions and a closure to our sonic offering.
Atomiser
Atomiser is a London based arts organisation that currently functions as an event series, label and production house of experimental film and sound work.
Auvikogue: Klangglomerat
Klangglomerat (german for "sound glomerate") by auvikogue (Peter Schubert and Andreas Usenbenz) was created as part of a cultural autumn event in the city of Geislingen an der Steige, centred around the theme "Geislingen's Underworlds." The artists collected field recordings from locations such as caves, abandoned mine tunnels and vaulted cellars and interacted with the material on site. The sounds were transformed into a dense sound collage which was presented in complete darkness as a 6-channel-audio performance, creating an immersive sound experience where all the sounds circled around the audience.

Bariya: Delhi Polyphones
Where must the prayers hide in the sound of the city so that clouds could reach them and water? An undertone of the city? An overtone? A polyphone? Millions of them in a cosmic float? Delhi Polyphones is a series of multichannel compositions, performances, and rituals, composed of Delhi’s undertones, overtones, and many other polyphones. After recording soundscapes from around Delhi, including tombs, railway stations and tracks, lakes, atmospheric virtual tones, parks, industrial areas, bridges, underpasses, universities, and ultrasonic environments, using inverse notch filters and new pure data devices, the collaged soundscapes were synthesized in their polyphony to return to the city as a natural body and hear its many paraphonic polyphonic voices- interdependently making up our sonic environments -to access aural auroras of the city which reach out to the skies in feebler, nobler intonations and gestures. Produced by Riya Raagini and Pratyush Pushkar aka Bariya. Visit www.bariyastudio.com.
Benoit Bories: Paléficat
Paleficat tells the story of the uncertain future of a piece of land. The certainty of the transformation of a landscape whose new face almost no-one knows yet. Probably the disappearance of the last traces of the market garden belt in the Toulouse metropolitan area. This sound creation is part of a wider observatory project for the Paléficat district, supported as part of a LABEX research project (LABoratoire d'Excellence, operation 7) and led by the LISST. Produced by Benoit Bories. Visit https://faidosonore.net.
Bex Šik: Dredging Echoes (Watersilver)
In Dredging Echoes (Watersilver) aspects of stealth, scavenging, (counter)surveillance and the commons are intertwined through an exploration of the hobbies of two individuals, a Zombie Satellite Tracker and a Magnet Fisher. The piece uses the echo as both concept and effect to explore fields and forces invisible to the human eye. Bringing to light covert activities, hidden pathways and the delicate line between physics and magic. Composed with custom built musical instruments that harness the power of magnetic fields and weaving through investigations into bat echolocations, underwater field recordings, electromagnetic phenomena and the sun-earth connection. The work was made because radio is magic, to pay homage to the obsessions of amateurs and hobbyists and to embodied knowledge that sits outside language. Produced by Bex Šik.
Bex Šik: Rekindling (For Crae)
Rekindling (for Crae) is a collage of listening and trawling for recollections of emotions within archival interviews and the emotional arc of activism. It is a meditation on hope after defeat. The piece travels through the waves, rips, currents, ebbs and flows of turning tides, and is carried by voices spanning lifetimes of commitment to building something better. Accompanying them the music is inspired by and composed from a recording of a young child’s first exploration of a piano. The spoken excerpts are all from the Women in Communism interview series recorded by Neil Rafeek held at the National Library Scotland’s sound archive. (the voices you hear are Jessie Clark, Marion Henery, Jean Mackay, Frieda Park, Isa Porte, Jenny Richardson and Christine Sloan). Protest Sounds recordings by Bex, Bobby Jewell and Steven Myles. Produced by Bex Šik.
Blake De Graw: Study Iv For Voice And Fiction
Study IV for Voice and Fiction is an experimental spoken-word/choral composition for twenty-four participants, each reading from any work of fiction of their choosing. As they read, they receive audio signals through headphones prompting them to alter their voicing, inflection, cadence, volume, and ultimately their tone, gradually converting them from a chaotic cloud of whispers to a unified drone, changing colors many times along the way. All parts in the provided demo were performed and recorded by the composer, Blake DeGraw.
Blevin Blectum: Omnii Multitudes Of Venom

The project is currently becoming a film. Follow @fox_neame on Instagram for daily videos. Commissioned by Radio Art Zone, a temporary radio art station by Radio ARA and Mobile Radio for the European Capital of Culture, Esch2022.
Budhaditya Chattopadhyay: A Nomad’S Guide To Listening
The radio piece consists of two components, weaved together by a common thematic strand of migration, de-territorialisation, nature, and the lived environment. It starts with a performative reading from the artist’s recent book The Nomadic Listener - an augmented book on migration, contemporary urban experience, and sonic alienation. The book is composed of a series of texts stemming from psychogeographic explorations of major contemporary cities through situated writing and field recording. Produced by Budhaditya Chattopadhyay.
Budhaditya Chattopadhyay: Sonic Psychogeographies Ii
"This radio work takes a critical position against cartography, and departs from its connections to colonial practices, of mapmaking and imperial borders. Drawing insights from alternative spatial practices in some of the Global Souths regions and cultures, and from radical-subversive practices in Europe, such as The Situationists, in this work I explore some listening-driven counter mapping practices, attuning with situated listening and drifting.” Produced by Budhaditya Chattopadhyay
Calling All Pensioners
Magazine programme about issues affecting pensioners across London, presented by Deptford Action Group for the Elderly's Tim Hamilton.
Cashlin Mac Kenzie: Tobraichean Mo Sinnsearan/The Wells Of My Ancestors (Radiophrenia 2025 Commission)
"Tobraichean mo Sinnsearan is a layered Gaidhlig soundscape weaving memory and place, anchored in the voice of my great grandfather Tuam Ross (1876-1960). The piece is derived from field recordings taken by my Great Uncle and Great Aunt (James and Anne Ross) for The Scottish School of Studies aural archive in 1957. In the field recordings they interview ‘Tuam’ on the uses and behaviours of the different wells and springs of his local area (Fàsach, Glendale) on the Isle of Skye."
Cecilia Tyrrell: Between Tides
Composed of field recordings from around the Salthouse area, Between Tides uses recordings of reeds, saltmarsh, wire fencing, water and shingle, broken down and reconstructed with the use of overtone chanting, reordered and performed by Cecilia in an abandoned oil silo in the North of Denmark. The soundscape traverses through multiple cross-connecting coastal environments, both of vast and microscopic scales. As it wanders it listens, an experience extending beyond the auditory, listening between perception to a space where nature and imagination collide. Produced by Cecilia Tyrrell.
Cecilia Tyrrell: Night Waters
A five-part soundscape, Night Waters combines field recordings of relaxing waves, underwater shells, and sea birds blended with ambient strings and female voices, to create a landscape found between waking and dreaming. Produced by Cecilia Tyrrell.
Charo Calvo: Bloodline Of Flower
Bloodline of Flower is drawn from poems by Forough Farrokhzad, Iranian poet and filmmaker (1934-1967). She was published and was widely read by many Iranians during her lifetime, and has now become somewhat of a cult figure. Her poetry is one of protest and rebellion, yet it captures everyday experience without any intention of guiding, educating or directing. Her poetry is the portrait of a generation undergoing radical change. In this piece, her verse lines draw songs from wavetables or modulate the breathy tones of a Ney. Only sound remains. Voice: Carly Wijs. Ney: Arif Erkovan. Text: Forough Farrokhzad. Produced by Charo Calvo.
Charo Calvo: Phonobiographie #1
It was a winter day in Madrid. I took the express train “Puerta del Sol” to Brussels. At that time, Hendeva was the last station for our trains. The Spanish tracks and the French tracks were not the same width. A little defensive measure taken by Franco’s government. We got out of the train, suitcase in one hand, the other gripping our passport. In the middle of the night we crossed this space, open to the sky, fenced in with barbed wire, 'tierra de nadie' (no man's land). On the other side, was waiting for me at least 26 years of another life and I thought that I could already make it out. That day, I was only 26. But before that day, there had been other days, thousands of days, that I can still hear…

Charo Calvo: Qualia
Five women artists living in Brussels; all raised in several languages; each one from a different cultural background. They tell, in their mother tongue, a vital moment, an intense sensorial experience, that left a physical imprint. One of them is not telling the truth. How to transmit thoses experiences only through language when their words are translated, albeit ‘properly’ by another woman? Voice and texts : Kitty Crowther, Zahava Seewald, Meryam Bayram, Sonia Pastecchia, Charo Calvo. Translation and english voice: Caroline Daish Recordings; Charo Calvo, Bastien Hidalgo Mastering: Bastien Hidalgo Studio. Acsr and author’s studio. Produced by ABC Soundproof Australia, with support of ACSR Belgium and FACR de la Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles.
Chris Mac Innes And Krystle Patel: I’M Not Paralyzed, But
A collaboration between Chris MacInnes and Krystle Patel that considers the flattening of information in contemporary news media. The resulting overwhelming sensation of noise and misrepresentation is expressed through modular synths and the voice. The language used in the performance expresses the experience of cultural visbility and the violence of representation. The subsequent flattening of cultural identities and ideas of Britishness and/or Indianness collide here as a response to an over saturation of information alongside a laziness to appear to respond to contemporary questions about identity, imperialism and privilege.

Christian Dimpker: 1 /2 La Naissance De La Lumière à Partir De L’Esprit Du Feu
The semantic context of fire is antagonistic: on the one hand, it stands for renewal, warmth, light and cleansing. On the other hand, it stands for destruction and the cause of death. In art history, the fire has gained utmost importance through Otto Piene and Zero, but also Yves Klein. Piene’s smoke and fire paintings may be understood as part of a complex that aims at making immaterial light tangible. Klein focuses on the destructive force of fire in his public art campaigns and extensively transforms the surfaces of canvas by means of flamethrowers. Thematically, this piece narrates this semantic context of fire, originating from raw fire, through the fire myth, to the destructive power of fire, its creative force and of fire eventually becoming light. Produced by Christian Dimpker.
Christie Blizard: The New World

Cloud Circuit: Jeremy Young & Deanna Radford The Length Of A Wave
The Length of a Wave was created for the launch of Occulto's R A D I O zine on January 12, 2024 at Errant Sound, Berlin, to which Deanna Radford contributed a poetic work. Recorded at Les Ateliers Belleville in Tio’tià:ke tsi ionhwéntsare / Mooniyang / Montreal. R A D I O is a poetry zine in print and sound released in September 2023. It emerged from a rediscovered passion for poetry blended with collective reflections on sustainable self-publishing, a decade-long involvement with sound experiments, and a soft spot for ‘radio’ as medium, technology, and (multilingual and multimeaning) word. Produced by Deanna Radford and Jeremy Young with special guest, Martín Rodríguez. Visit cloudcircuit.ca.

Conversations On Belonging: What Does Belonging Mean To You?
Four short radio pieces drawing on the extensive archive of recorded conversations created as part of 900 Voices. These 4 episodes provide a curated dip into conversations with people in Edinburgh, from all walks of life as they reflect on what belonging means to them. The conversations were recorded all over the city in libraries, community centres, schools and homes. Originally shared as a generative sound installation in St Giles' Cathedral during Edinburgh International Festival 2024 as part of the Cathedral's 900th anniversary celebrations, the archive consists of over 300 hours of recorded conversation on belonging, connection and community and will be publically available through the School of Scottish Studies in Edinburgh from next year.
900 Voices is by Zoë Irvine in collaboration with Lindsay Perth and Jules Rawlinson. Produced by Zoë Irvine.
Craig Hunter: Bits
"I met someone in London this year who seemed embarrassed that he was doing 'bits and pieces', rather than an established career. I love doing bits. Here are some of them. The backbone of the piece is an unedited recording from Ta Van village in northern Vietnam. I was struck by how well the dog was keeping time. This is overlaid with various other aural memories from the past two years, including squelching through a swamp in Finland, the rumbling of trains through Germany, cafe chat in Hanoi, Warsaw and Valencia, and a chorus of cicadas as I walked through the latter. Regular life also features via a barbecue, the Langside Road bird choir, wrapping a customer's belongings for a house move and working on a short film with friends.” Produced by Craig Hunter.
Dariusz Mazurowski: Vanishing Signs On The Sky
Vanishing Signs on the Sky is the fourth part of a large-scale electroacoustic composition The Destroyer of Dreams, a very personal work, dealing with thoughts of happiness. It contains a large collection of various sounds – synthesized, concrete and others. In this particular case, the whole sonic spectrum has been processed with both analogue and digital tools to gain rather complex, hybrid textures. Composed and recorded at the De eM Studio between April 2015 and June 2017. Produced by Dariusz Mazurowski.
Dave Madden: We Three Nephites
Per The Book of Mormon, Jesus Christ visited the Americas during the three days between his death and resurrection. While there, he (sic) ordained twelve disciples, three of which asked for and were granted immortal life. Known as The Three Nephites, they have used the last 2000 years to lead souls unto Christ, all the while remaining anonymous and evading physical harm. Since the founding of Mormonism in 1830, its members ashamedly clamor for their visitations. Less elusive than Sasquatch, these persons will generally appear to someone in comparatively dire straits and produce a miracle. Further, the Three tend to materialize and then vanish either without warning or in a spectacular manner that leaves the audience frozen - as if tasting God’s time. This project began as an historical recording of the journal of my Great x5 Grandfather, Warren G. Child, which he kept between December 1872 and February 1905. Produced by Dave Madden.

David Cowlard & Andrew Moon/Rst: Western Line
A city symphony by David Cowlard and Andrew Moon/RST. The Western Line is the railway line that runs from the city centre of Auckland, New Zealand, to the outer suburbs and back again. Thousands of people ride the railway on their daily commute and the journey allows for a unique experience of the city as the railway cuts through closely packed urban housing, light industry, suburban homes and out into the greener rural landscapes. Passengers experience this flickering landscape while thinking of other things. Western Line expands this fragmented terrain and explores the aural moments where the railway intersects with the urban fabric of west Auckland. Mixed from over 18 months of field recordings from stations, train rides and long walks along the railway line and improvisational drone guitar, the city and soundscape are interwoven; matching the situational experience from the trains and the spaces through which they pass.
David Sappa & Caitlin Kiely: The Walker In The Landscape
The Walker in the Landscape began as a narrative script written and recorded by artist Caitlin Kiely in 2020. The spoken word audio was intended to be listened to as the walker or listener moved through a landscape or environment. The idea being that they occupy the space between the two characters – the Walker and the Narrator — as they temporarily locate the narrative in the physical space they occupy. David Sappa heard Caitlin’s script and began recollecting sonic memories of landscapes and environments they’d experienced, leading to conversations with Caitlin around the research and contexts surrounding her work. Thanks to: Grace Emily Manning - Voice, Narrator; Roland Ross, Voice, Walker; Dominic Lewis - sound assistance in Wales.

Derek Walmsley: Reduce, Reuse, Re Cycle
The click of the derailleur, the whirr of the hub, the hum of a carefully lubricated chain – in an era of climate breakdown and energy scarcity, the bicycle is an orchestra of sounds that embody attributes of energy-efficiency and recycling that will be essential to an low carbon future. Reduce, Reuse, Re-cycle takes the listener inside the bicycle workshop via a forensic collage of repair sounds as beat-up bikes get nurtured back to smooth working order. Chain-lines are analysed, barrel adjusters are manipulated, hanger alignment is checked and bottom brackets are checked as the low-carbon vehicles of the future are forged. Produced by Derek Walmsley.

Diana Duta & Julia E. Dyck: T.R.A.N.C.E Community Hypnosis Session
A group hypnosis session inviting you to access the power of the trance state and potential of the subconscious to cultivate positive transformation. This experience combines the practice of hypnotherapy with the synergy of voice, electronic loops, and resonant instruments.

This is a guided hypnosis, please do not listen while driving or operating machinery. Produced by Julia E. Dyck and Diana Duta.
Diana Duta: Death Watch Beetle
An invitation to embody a yew tree through tuning into its particular aural experience – populated with sounds of dragonflies, beetles, slugs, dust, crows and other creatures from its immediate environment. The piece was commissioned for ‘Whisperings of the taxus trees’ - a research initiated by Karolien Polenus exploring the history, energetic power, and properties of the Taxus tree. The project aims to highlight the importance of nature in the urban landscape and to remember that we are all nature, and that we connect with her at any time. Produced by Diana Duta.
Diego Véliz: Sound Desert
"Sound Desert" is the outcome of an artistic exploration carried out in Arica; the [current] Chilean city that borders Peru and Bolivia, in the heart of the Atacama Desert. The project consists of five works as diverse as the territory inhabited by them. A sort of auditory promenade along the coast, the multiplicity of voices in an international bus terminal and in a farmer’s market, the ecosystem of an endangered wetland, and the ghosts of an unoccupied train station; are the elements that invite you to hear the sounds of a borderland. Produced by Diego Véliz. Visit www.desiertosonoro.com.

Dinah & Molly Mullen: Echo Sister Audio Essays, Locating Echo
When New Zealand’s border closures prevented sisters, Dinah and Molly Mullen from meeting in person, they began an online exchange, resulting in a cyber-feminist reworking of the myth of Echo. In the male-authored myths, Echo is depicted as being punished, deprived of her communicative agency; absorbed into the earth she must forever return the sound made by others. These sonic fictions explore the possibilities and politics of online communication, exploring the generative potential of echoes as intimate entanglements of sound and stone that are essential to processes of sensing, locating and relating. Picking up where the Greek and Roman myth-versions leave Echo, the two audio tales suggest she has long inhabited the rock beneath the earth’s surface, causing earthquakes, volcanoes and provoking continental shift in her grief, trauma and rage.

Dorka Szender Kisfaludy: A Drift A Shore
'a-drift-a-shore' is a body of work featuring a 24′38″ soundscape that contains multilingual spoken excerpts from individuals who have experienced migration. This workshop series explored storytelling through the metaphor of a drift seed. Participants engaged in creative writing, sculptural building, and collective map-making, revealing personal stories as a form of introspection and healing. The project aimed to open a dialogue on the complexities of migration and diasporic experiences, amplifying historically marginalized voices. Recorded sessions took place at the Glasgow School of Art, the Garnethill Multicultural Centre, the Maryhill Integration Network, and MILK between autumn 2022 and spring 2023. Produced by Dorka.
Dorota Blaszczak: My Neighbor Ventilator
A hotel in a city with a local brewery, with its ventilator below the hotel window. It was “breathing” with a regular rhythm, adding its drone to many city sound solos from car drifting competition to morning birds recorded from the afternoon to the following morning. Depending on mode of listening it forms a collage of various known sounds objects or a complex, noise and harmonic sound composition. This is an audio timelapse, maintaining sequence and rhythm of events, created based on 18 hours of my recordings (Lublin, 20.04.2024, 3 pm - 21.04.2024, 9 am) closed into 15 minutes. Produced by Dorota Blaszczak.

Duncan Mac Leod & Steve Ely: Orasaigh
Commissioned by Taigh Chearsabhagh Museum and Arts Centre, Orasaigh is an acousmatic setting of Steve Ely’s eponymous poem, inspired by the landscape surrounding the tidal island of Orasaigh, located off the coast of South Uist, in the Western Isles of Scotland. Ely’s visionary poem, while firmly grounded on the island, explores a wide range of themes, including sea level rise, the 'sixth extinction' crisis, history, culture, politics, conflict, and class. As with Ely’s poem, the composition is rooted in the landscape through the presence of soundscape compositions, utilising immersive field recordings captured on location. Elsewhere, material for clarinet and highland bagpipes, along with creative reimagining of archival sound recordings from Uist, draws upon the Isles' rich musical heritage through Gaelic song and pibroch (an art music genre associated with the great Highland Bagpipe). Produced by Steve Ely and Duncan MacLeod.
Edka Jarzab: Major Arcana Of Fungi
An action inspired by radical mycology. Audio here is an excerpt from 22-hours long radio show. The participating artists were asked to interpret a Tarot card they drew from the pack in a sound form. This could be related to the fungal body and their personal impression of the given symbol. They could refer to the EDAPHONE: the sound of life underneath forest litter as it grows fluidifies and decomposes into smaller parts through hyphae's microchannels or they could offer initiation into personal secrets and intuition.This piece is a mix of compositions and fragments sent by collaborating artists in this order: ASTMA, Zosia Hołubowska, Martyna Poznańska, Ania Kamecka, Mario de Vega, Anna Jurkiewicz, Gosia Wrzosek, FOQL, Milena Soporowska. Produced by Edka Jarzab. Visit secondaryarchive.org/artists/edka-jarzab/.

Elina Bry & Mark Vernon: Opera Of The Body
The premise of this radiophonic work is the idea of the mute body. The body as a rebellious 'other' with whom communication has irretrievably broken down. We explore the sonification of biological processes and the idea of the mute body within a narrative framework based around personal experiences of health conditions and medical treatments. Through a series of pseudo-scientific medical experiments and strategies we attempt to coax, persuade or trick our bodies into speaking to us once more. If we listen closely, what can our bodies teach us? What will they say? The first iteration of this idea took the form of a public performance at Gallery Celine in January 2020 titled Prelude to an Opera of the Body. Produced by Elina Bry and Mark Vernon.
Eliza Wagener: A Guide To Windowpecking
A 30-minute original sound piece by Eliza Wagener. In this piece, the painter refers to an ongoing series of small-scale paintings that started with her move from Hamburg to Glasgow in October 2024. "Various depicted scenes show moments or direct glimpses of window frames as seen from the outside. Figures move across the images, bathed in mystical green and blue light, in almost monochromatic scenes, as if they aim to draw one into the space—both the exhibition and the pictorial space. Come closer, we are here, and you can look at us. Consciously or unconsciously, staged, or casual gazes?’"(Anne Meerpohl: A Rear Window Situation, Les Nouveaux Riches Magazine, February 2025). 'A Guide To Windowpecking' is presented for the first time at Radiophrenia Glasgow and then will be broadcast live from the exhibition 'Windowpecking fortlaufend' at Kunstverein Harburger Bahnhof in Hamburg via HALLO: Radio on 26 April 2025. Featuring the voices of Embla Graham, Calypso Keane and Colm Moore.

Extense: The Eternal Emissions Of A Dying Star
This broadcast uses the decommissioning process of the Hunterston A and B Nuclear Sites to explore the exhaustion of the nuclear dream and the residues it has left on the Clyde coastline. The surround of Hunterston is drawn out in sound, summoning the material and affective sediments that linger in and around the site, and the infrastructural overwriting enacted on the landscape by palimpsestic energy imaginaries. The composition is centred around a series of geophone recordings taken during the FieldARTS residency with the Infrastructure Humanities Group. Low-frequency hums are drawn out from Hunterston’s material landscape to become drones, pulling in and out of harmony, evoking sonic spectres that linger beyond the edges of auditory perception. Extense is a collaborative project between Clara Hancock and Dianne Burdon.
Farside Radio

Faxen: Overhear
Mairhofer, Norer and Six have been working together as the artist group FAXEN since 2004. Over 20 years they have created a diverse body of work characterised by a focus on sound and collective working methods. This publication presents this oeuvre in a hybrid form of sound, graphics and text in order to offer a comprehensive insight and to open up additional references. One challenge is to make the sound works accessible in print, which is why three 10' vinyl discs are included, each containing 6 sound compositions of around 10 minutes in length. Marlies Stöger and André Tschinder were asked to visually comment on the works by designing a fictitious record cover for each piece. For Radiophrenia 2025 we present the first of the 3 records as an excerpt and preview. Visit faxen-collective.net.

Francesc Llompart: Viatge Cap Al Buit
"Viatge cap al buit" (Journey to the Void) offers the listener a slow and transformative excursion through a series of landscapes where the real blends with the surreal and the impossible. The journey begins in darkness, with a screen of noise that evokes the sound of a plane landing, gradually transforming into water. A succession of environments follows, sometimes diurnal, sometimes nocturnal, where sounds detach from the landscape and embark on their own journey, ever-changing. The void refers to the intangible, the non-material that exists beyond our world. Through sound processing, this unreal otherworldly realm comes into contact with ours; the different elements that make up the scene wander between their boundaries: we hear supernatural echoes from the other side, and as they approach us, we discover a person walking. They sit down. The image they contemplate evaporates... Produced by Francesc Llompart.
Frank Ekeberg: Humana|Machina
An electroacoustic music composition that invites you into a sonic realm where the boundaries of human and machine dissolve. It takes as its starting point the more or less voluntary extension of – or intrusion into – human senses and capabilities by means of technology. The work is composed of sounds that are both organic and mechanical – sounds of machinery and electromagnetic fields generated by various kinds of electronic equipment ("machina") juxtaposed with the sounds of the human voice ("humana") in more and less manipulated forms. It is structured around a narrative generated by AI-based language models, performed by four voices, two male and two female created using AI voice synthesis, that each has a separate role in the narrative. The work is originally composed for multichannel concert performance, and is presented here as a stereo version. Produced by Frank Ekeberg.
Frederico Pessoa: Transmitting Life From Deep Black Holes
Transmitting Life from Deep Black Holes harnesses a fusion of clipped and modified samples from diverse sources. These include snippets of sound transmissions from interplanetary probes that have journeyed through our solar system, intertwined with recordings of drones emanating from the machinery of Brazilian mining corporations, which carve massive cavities in the earth akin to entire neighborhoods. Additionally, it incorporates excerpts from interviews, lectures, and conversations broadcasted by the Brazilian media in recent years. By appropriating the electromagnetic waves permeating the cosmos, those pulsating within the Earth's core, and those engendering our collective existence, Transmitting Life from Deep Black Holes aims to stimulate contemplation on our existence and our interconnectedness with our environment. These electromagnetic waves transcend human agency, embodying manifold meanings and interpretations regarding our impact on and reception from our surroundings. Produced by Frederico Pessoa.
French Theory (Elena Truuts/Martin Kikas ): Et Tu Sais And You Know
The album was conceived as a fictional radio broadcast where the sound environment ensures continuity between the spoken poems, which reveal the chaotic fragility of bodies in space-time - a landscape familiar to all travellers, regardless of the reason for their journey: love, escape, migration. One thing is certain: this radically modern journey is by no means one of leisure. There is no verbal tourism in this unrhymed poetry. Texts and Voice: Elena Truuts. Sound Design: Martin Kikas. Visit frenchtheory.bandcamp.com.
Freya Dooley: Diamonds And Rust
Diamonds and Rust follows its protagonist, Jane, as she finds and secures an undefined and precarious office job, where the manager wears designer socks and the hot desks remind the team of their vulnerability to replacement. In an attempt to define her own value, Jane oscillates between states of usefulness and dysfunction, production and refusal, eventually organising increasingly long cigarette breaks with colleagues: meetings where everyone contributes, and no one actually smokes. This work is an audio version of a film of the same name, produced for the solo exhibition False Note, at Site Gallery, Sheffield, 2024, co-commissioned by Site Gallery, Artes Mundi and Wales Venice 10. The soundtrack features vocals by, and music composed in collaboration with, Emma Daman Thomas. The first sonic iteration of Diamonds and Rust was commissioned by Goldsmiths CCA, London as a performance in July 2022. Produced by Freya Dooley.

Gabi Schaffner: Kidnap Coffee
The devastating earthquake on 6 December 1988, destroyed the greatest part of the city of Gyumri in Armenia. With the Mush II District, a whole new living quarter was stomped out of the ground. Sturdy tenement buildings, a school, three supermarkets, a park with a varied fountain, a football arena, playing grounds and small garden patches, either in the yards or bordering on the overgrown meadows. When stopping by one of those gardens, I was spoken too and afterwards ‘kidnapped’ by two ladies (best friends and gardeners) and taken into the kitchen to drink coffee. English is overestimated as lingua franca once you travel east. I felt discombobulated and difficult. My translator-app worked for Russian only, which created much fun for Gina and Raja. Produced by Gabi Schaffner.
Gabriele Heller: Utopia More And More
Utopia has been in our consciousness since the beginning of humanity. Where is this elusive land of equality and happiness and how can we enter? 'Utopia M&m' invites you on an exploration of the utopian ideal, a journey into the past as well as the future. Fusing prerecorded texts and music fragments with a live performance this interlaced audio piece creates a rich tapestry that plays with perception, form and genre. Wander with us through a space filled with dreams, political activism, philosophical dispute, belief and disbelief. What do Thomas More, the mysterious voice, Plato, Robert Owen and the miracle of Wörgl have in common? Are you in or are you out? Join our utopian quest into a land of skepticism, aspiration, reflection and hope. Produced by
Gabriele Heller.

Gary Wilkinson: Botox/Collagen/Silicone
An exploration of aesthetic beauty treatments and the relationship we have with our bodies and appearance. The piece looks at the fragility of the human condition both physical and mental and what forms our interpretation of beauty. The role of social media and the exploitation of people in areas of low income and low self esteem. Considering the ageing process and the passing of time which writes itself all over our bodies and taking a sympathetic view of the minute details of our appearance that we obsess over. The piece is composed using fragments of music from Brahms, Holst, Bruckner, Korsakov, Smetana and Chopin, each fragment chosen using a random number generator to enable the piece to be ultimately programmed so each iteration can be unique, reflecting the individualistic theme of the work. Produced by Gary Wilkinson.

(yes its about the environment)”. Produced by gobscure.
Good Vallis: The Tellings
The Tellings is a sound collage with spoken word performances forming 20 fragmentary narratives situated in an eclectic soundscape with elements of hip hop, post punk, DIY cassette music, VHS soundtracks and atmospheric recordings. It uses the bizarre, imaginative qualities of alien abduction stories as its source material in order to highlight the potentially unsettling and lonely nature of individual perception. It is written in a manner which suits the ADHD mindset; looking at a subject from multiple angles simultaneously and in a non-linear way. Both words and sound combine to create a woozy, immersive experience somewhere between a radio play and a mixtape. 'The Tellings' was previously released on a small run of cassettes (on Spirit Duplicator, 2024). The words are mine and are performed by me, Nathalie Boobis, Micheal Orrell, Emily Furneaux and Lewis Henson. Visit goodvallis.bandcamp.com/album/the-tellings.

Iride Project: La Fenestre De Rusinelle
The story takes place in an Italian rural village. Rusinelle, bedridden for years, dies alone in her bedroom. The window is closed and according to local superstition her soul gets trapped and can not ascend to Heaven, remaining at the mercy of the Devil. Her son Carmine feels the guilt of this accidental negligence. Funeral and burial follow carefully in a mix of Christian and Pre-Christian beliefs rooted in ancient Greek culture. The poor man is haunted by the thought of his mother's soul wandering in the World of the Living and so excluded from the Grace of God. Seeing that, a close friend of the family, driven by Christian faith and superstition, succeeds in getting in contact with the dead and finds out that the woman's soul is saved. A lifetime of humble and Christian behavior made Rusinelle worthy in the eyes of Jesus who gave her Eternal Salvation. Produced Monica Miuccio and Massimo Daví: IRIDE PROJECT.

Jacob Weinberg: After The Crisis
After the Crisis investigates the possibility (or rather, impossibility) of crisis aversion by re-presenting the thought of US military historian Roberta Wohlstetter, who with her husband Albert Wohlstetter, significantly impacted the military and nuclear strategy of post-war United States. It presents a spoken performance of Roberta Wohlstetter's publication, Cuba and Pearl Harbor: Hindsight and Foresight, which uses information theory to analyse the successes and inevitable failures of the United States' ability to predict and a prevent national catastrophe during these two events. By omitting the specific details from these events that were originally written into the text, the performance lays bare a narrative that both addresses and produces the crises shaping international conflict today. Centring the US military machine, the resulting work exposes the limits of a seemingly unyielding power, the perils of hindsight, and questions the ends of endless information collection in a world with multiple, uncertain futures. Produced by Jacob Weinberg.
Jamie Mc Neill: The Concrete Seed, A New Town Fable
An essayistic fiction that offers an idiosyncratic critique of the post-war British new town project, specifically in its relation to Scotland and of top-down spatial planning more generally. Idiosyncratic, in that it presents a critique bound up in a satire that avoids didacticism in favour of an experimental approach combining a subjective voice with text and sound steeped in Scotch ostranenie. The narrative comprises a power struggle between the abstracted archetypes of Planner, Dwellers and New Town. Voices: Tom Fergus Arnott, Judith Hagan, Jamie McNeill, Berta Escobar Ramos. Produced by Jamie McNeill. Visit Instagram @f0g0u.
JazznewbloodTAPES

Jean Baptiste Masson: Rémanence
Rémanence is based on found materials, recorded by amateur sound hobbyists in France and Germany between the 1960s and the 1990s. The tapes and cassettes were collected in the two countries in Summer 2023, while on trip to investigate the sonic practices of French and German sound hunters. People were interviewed and sonic material gathered. Sound hunters were amateurs interested in sound, who from the 1950s, started to produce radio programmes, to organise national and international contests, to edit magazines, to gather themselves in tape recording clubs. This piece documents and poeticises their activities, that ranged from family recordings, to musique concrète, to the recording of bird songs, to the soundtracks of amateur films, to music, interviews and audio documentaries. Short electroacoustic compositions by me link and sometimes frame sound hunters’ recordings. The tapes and cassettes of this piece were collected thanks to a funding from the Deutsch-Französischer Bürgerfonds. Produced by Jean-Baptiste Masson.
Jean Philippe Renoult: Domestic Drones
They are my pets. They pulsate for hours at low volume in my studio, even when I'm not there. Once they have escaped from my machines, I don't interfere. I let them breathe in the open air, in a flow that I record with microphones and sensors. Between four and six channels are assigned to capture the sound generators, the space of the room and the vibrations of the surfaces. These drones are generous, they accompany and embellish the sounds around them. I like to call them my domestic drones, they infiltrate and subtly change my homescape, it is a discreet mix where the air of one match the vibrations of the other. Every now and again a distant melody can be heard.

Jennifer Wicks: Home Truths
A collage of spectral remnants, weaving fragmented memories and sonic decay into a textured exploration of fragility and persistence. The work navigates the temporal erosion of sound and memory, uncovering layers of meaning through glitch, plunderphonics and drones. Using obsolete media (minidiscs /CD), loops and layered field recordings, Home Truths incorporates re-recorded WhatsApp voice messages - modern-day answer machine fragments degraded through repeated transfers onto minidisc.

Takayna is covered in sinkholes. Over thousands of years, rain seeping into the soil dissolves the dolomite rock below, slowly forming hollows and voids above ground. Soil and rock fall inwards and are washed away and the void grows deeper. To our eyes, the sinkhole’s surface is still and reflective, obscuring the orchestra of life within its water body. With one ear above and one below the surface we listen to frogs, birds, the wind through the trees, aquatic insects buzzing like tiny fireworks, burrowing invertebrates and clawing crustaceans. Takayna holds the largest ancient temperate rainforest in Australia and one of the last undisturbed Gondwana rainforests in the world. Like many forest sites in Australia, it is threatened and surrounded by logging. Gratitude and respect to the palawa pakana traditional owners. Dedicated to the forest defenders. Produced by Jess Hamilton.
Jessica Syposz: The Buzzer
Lena can't stop listening. Her favourite radio station only transmits a single, eerie buzzing noise. The sound gets under her skin. It makes her feel safe, especially on lonely nights in her room while her menacing landlord prowls around the house. The more this vulnerable young woman listens to this radio station, the easier it is to forget the world around her, or to feel like it's even real at all. A monologue which culminates in an unearthly radiophonic soundscape, 'The Buzzer' is a journey into obsession and our desire to be part of something bigger than ourselves. Written by Jessica Syposz, starring Radhika Aggarwal, with sound design by Paul Dodgson. The radio station Lena listens to is a fictionalised version of the real UBV-76 frequency or ‘Buzzer,’ a short-wave radio station which has been transmitting an unexplained buzzing since 1983.

Jim Lloyd: The Great Northern Diver
The Great Northern Diver combines spoken word, poetry, and field recordings. It tells the story of one man’s attempts to capture bird calls as he searches to understand what it might be like to be a bird. Using first and third person perspectives, scientific as well as poetic investigations, the work explores themes of migration, displacement, rootedness, home, and loss, highlighting the entanglement of human history, landscape, and ecosystems. (The production contains two 20 sec excerpts of Passacaglia by GF Handel played by Marisa Robles, Pieces from my childhood 1979, UMG.) Produced by Jim Lloyd.
Jimmy Peggie: Climatic Voices
Climatic Voices is a sound art observation of meteorological themes. It is a sound collage made using treated environmental recordings, radiophonic transmissions, infrasound and electromagnetic frequencies. These types of sound waves are obtained from the atmosphere that surrounds our planet. The use of atmospheric acoustics plays an important function within modern meteorology and is used to predict weather patterns and other meteorological phenomena. This helps with many things including improving weather forecasting, aiding climate change studies as well as safeguarding lives and property. Produced by Jimmy Peggie.
John Hall: Soil Balance/Dramatic Words
Soil Balance/Dramatic Words is an assembled melodrama around the themes of surveillance, conspiracy to murder and transcendence. It was assembled by John Hall in Ulverston. Featuring the voices of Felix Bressart, Bernard Cribbins, Leslie Crowther James Gleason, Henry Kendall, Richard Levitan, Ida Lupino, John Mills, Chris Schenkel, Victor Stanley, Arnold Palmer and William Powell. Additional material by Steve Tyson and Damian Rose. With original music by John Hall. Dedicated to David Round.
John Roach: Royal Lady Sister
In this interview, artist Desiree Mwalimu Banks discusses the vibrational disruptions to honeybee well-being posed by telecommunication technologies, the need to re-establish the regal and matriarchal role of bees in our world, and the importance of deep listening in drawing nearer to the more than human. The work she describes was developed with sound artist Grant Cutler during their Transmission Arts residency at Wave Farm in upstate NY. Produced by John Roach.
Joshua Bonnetta: The Pines
The Pines documents the sound of a forest over the course of an entire year. Stereo recordings made from halfway up a pine tree in central New York State were collected using technology that allowed for continuous remote recording of 8760 hours. The recordings were manually analysed using bioacoustics applications and composed into four one-hour chapters each representative of a season. The work is a representational collage of the year-long acoustic ecology of a forest and asks, how might a soundscape differ when a human listener exits the landscape? Produced by Joshua Bonnetta (Canada/D 2025) in collaboration with Silent Green, Berlin and Resonance.
Joshua Elza Breen Tucci: The Birth And Death Of A Planet
The Birth and Death of a Planet is an imaginary acoustic-ecology/soundscape recorded across deep-time, tracing the life cycle of an earth-like planet. Operating somewhere between documentary field-recording, ambient electronic composition, and science fiction, the work follows the planet's life as it violently coalesces into a celestial body, matures, thrives, and inevitably succumbs to the cold lifelessness of the greater universe around it. Produced by Joshua Elza Breen-Tucci.

Katrina Niebergal & Bergur Anderson: Come, Memory: Fieldwork
A research-led project begun in September 2021 by Katrina Niebergal that centred around three research/recording trips taken to a series of ancient (especially Neolithic) European sacred sites. The project included: research; the recording of Super 8mm film, 35mm photo, and sound; the assembly of three short, experimental films, and the creation of a scenographic installation. 'come, Memory: fieldwork' is another iteration of this project — an expanded research and sound document — collaboratively made by Katrina and Bergur Anderson (the project’s field recordist and film soundtrack composer). The project in all its facets looked speculatively through embedded, eroded and residual evidence, at the presence/absence of the divine womanly (or Great Mother), and at the idea and sens-o-reality of earth-sentience. It looked to the ancient (pre-capitalist and pre-patriarchal) past to think/feel into feminist futures. Originally released as a limited edition cassette on Futura Resistenza, Brussels.
Kazuya Ishigami: Something Too Huge
This work symbolically depicts the complex and tense state of the global environment by beginning with footsteps, followed by the gradual overlapping and unfolding of ambient, unbalanced harmonies and noise. The footsteps symbolize the traces of human existence and its impact on the global environment. Harmony and noise symbolize the dissonance caused by human intervention in the global environment.
The acoustic space of monotonous footsteps and noise may be heard as a space of wishful thinking that the environmental problems we are facing at the moment are just a dream. The sustained resonance of harmonies may be heard as the cry of the earth.
The silence at the end may be interpreted in many ways as to what it means. Produced by Kazuya Ishigami.
Keith De Mendonca: Industrial Sketch
A meditative sound collage of field recordings of voices and machinery - from Ireland, Bali, China, England and Finland. Produced by Keith de Mendonca.
Kerrith Livengood: Sparkling Wide Pressure
"The album, In The Name of the MOON, began when I imagined an ever-changing but static field of harmonies and pulses, intertwined with each other, and surrounding listeners like a galaxy of sounds. Sparkling Wide Pressure is the name of one of Sailor Jupiter's attacks. Sailor Jupiter is a character from the classic anime series 'Sailor Moon’. As I created this piece, I made some personal associations between the sounds I was crafting and the gestures and images I remembered from the TV show. Each of these "ambient character portraits" is full of shifting, intricate patterns of interwoven sounds. Yet each piece is balanced in content, maintaining equilibrium like bodies in the solar system.” Produced by Kerrith Livengood.
Kirsty Gallagher: The Collective Voice Of Greenham
Celebrating the courage and resilience of women, this feature delves into the historic Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp of 1981. For 20 years a series of women only camps were established to protest against nuclear weapons being placed at RAF Greenham Common in Berkshire, England. Using first-hand accounts and archival sound, it amplifies the voices of those who fought for peace, shedding light on their dedication to activism and social change. Thank you to Laila Namdarkhan, Jane Roffe and Elizabeth James for sharing stories of their time at the Peace Camp. Credit and thanks to Luisa Gersteirn, Tanya Auclair and Deep Throat Choir for providing me with their rendition of the 1970's protest song 'Like a Mountain' heard at the end of the documentary. Produced by Kirsty Gallagher.

Kristina Warren: Despite Sight
Despite Sight (2024) by Kristina Warren is a surreal soundscape constructed from a variety of recognizable, allusive, and opaque sounds. Through its deceptively representative sounds, Despite Sight thematizes the massive contemporary denial of various geopolitical and epidemiological events which can be plainly observed. Produced by Kristina Warren.
La Quadrature: Processus Lowbrow
A cycle of lo-fi short fictions inspired by the arts of the lowbrow movement. Rénoviction takes place in the middle of the housing crisis in Quebec where the wild eviction of tenants has created a movement of graffiti on the buildings of real estate sharks. The Barbe.Blu episode is a typical mise en abyme of video games where the distinction between the player and his avatar is deliberately blurred. The Paradox episode was recorded in an important art gallery (a paradoxical place for lowbrow arts) where speakers broadcast sound elements along the journey of the storyteller Paul Bradley who tells us about his visit to a strange and fictitious museum. Collage episode takes extracts from the 20 sound tests produced during the research phase with the fifteen participating artists, in order to create an fragmented poetic story. La Quadrature is a research and creation organization in contemporary storytelling led by Paul Bradley, Céline Jantet and Nicolas Rochette. Lowbrow Process main artists: Paul Bradley, Étienne Legast, Simone d'Ambrosio, Jérome Bérubé, Isabelle St-Pierre. Visit www.laquadra.ca.
Landforms: Liquid Polyphonies
Liquid Polyphonies is a sound composition that is based on a field research in the European parts of the North Sea (2022). By weaving together anthrophone, biophone, and technophone sounds, and by searching for sonic analogies between the human and non-human through a combination of voice recordings, foley recordings, and field recordings, Lotte and Gillis create an electro-acoustic composition that emphasizes the interconnectedness between human and non-human entities at sea. Liquid Polyphonies is part of the residency program of Phonurgia Nova (FR) and was created during a residency at GMEM in Marseille. Landforms is the sound collective of Gillis Van der Wee and Lotte Nijsten. Visit www.landforms.be.

Leon Clowes: Four Days
"Four Days is a telling of my mother’s final days in hospital in June 2013. As content warning, this story indirectly touches on taboo topics of incest, paedophilia, sexual assault and death. I connect the arc of these four days to my growing in kinship care and through to my last drink of alcohol. The recording of my reading this story took place at the Rose Shure Experience Centre in October 2024, with thanks to Shure UK. I'm also very grateful for the support from Wisebuddah and of Matt Podd, who carefully processed my voice.” Produced by Leon Clowes.
Leonie Roessler & Mark Vernon: No Fires Or Floods Required
A meditation on memory and loss – lost things, lost data, lost memories – and the impulse to hold onto and preserve our personal past through objects, keepsakes, mementos, words, sounds and photographs. The things we can’t bear to be parted with for fear of losing some part of ourselves. Produced by Leonie Roessler and Mark Vernon during a micro residency at Studio LOOS, Den Haag in November 2023.
Leonie Roessler: Shiraz
Leonie Roessler’s nomad project Cultural Spaces returned to Iran in 2019. Her sound portraits of Panjim and the Goan countryside were installed at Motorkhooneh Gallery - an art space that operates 20 metres underground. During her stay there she recorded the sounds you are hearing. They were transformed into this composition in 2023 when Cultural Spaces was able to come back to life (post-pandemic) at the Zwitschermaschine in Berlin. It is there that this piece was premiered, while Leonie recorded the sounds for the next stop of Cultural Spaces.
Lia Kohl: Variations On A Topography
Variations on a Topography is constructed in stratified layers, each containing a recording of a full scan of the AM/FM spectrum from bottom to top and back down again. Tuning through the spectrum in the same place every time, Kohl charts a map of her specific signal, showcasing the geographic specificity of radio and drawing out its topography with additional musical sounds. Cello and synthesizer highlight moments of clarity and static, creating a counterpoint ruled by the dichotomy between them. These “signal sweeps” also offer a sedimentary view of time, capturing multiple 28 minute sections of what would otherwise be completely ephemeral sounds. The recordings, taken over the span of a few months, speak in various ways to the passage of time – the weather gets colder, traffic patterns shift, wars break out. The signal, like a ghostly mountain range, hovers around us. Produced by Lia Kohl.

Lila Meretzky: Quadraturin
A reading with musical underscoring and sound effects of the Soviet writer Sigizmund Krizhizhanovsky's surreal 1926 short story "Quadraturin". When a pushy salesman appears in the cramped doorway of the beleaguered Sutulin and foists a strange paint-like substance on him, his apartment transforms into a nightmarish abyss. Produced by Lila Meretzky.

Lucas Norer: Der Lange Atem
"Der lange Atem" is a sound art and research project focused on "celebration" and "hero organs", instruments used as sonic monuments during the Nazi era. Built between the 1920s and 1940s in Germany and Austria, these organs were often dedicated to the victims of WWI or featured in National Socialist ceremonies. Many were installed in churches, Nazi festival halls, or secular spaces like schools. Only a handful of these instruments remain today. The 15-minute sound piece explores three of the remaining organs through on-site recordings of their sound, acoustic environment, and the organists playing them. It also includes excerpts from a 1985 SWR radio program dedicated to organs from the Nazi era. Produced by Lucas Norer.

Luka Hvalc, Saška Rakef & Mojca Delač: Journey At The Edge Of The Night
Dr Evgen Bavčar has a special ritual. For over 40 years, he has been recording the nightingale singing on May nights in his hometown of Lokavec. Under the nocturnal cloak, in duet and in collaboration with the nightingale, the story unfolds into a narrative of the nightingales' blinding so they shall sing in perpetuity – a reflection on blindness as social castration, on existential proximities and distances, the position of the blind throughout time and the question: why should the pleasure of the night not be equal to the pleasure of the day? Produced by Saška Rakef, Mojca Delač and Luka Hvalc. Visit www.val202.rtvslo.si.

Maestrale: Sottopelle
“Sottopelle” (Italian for “Under the Skin”) is a sound project that blends spoken word, resynthesis and sampling to create an intimate and surreal auditory journey. Narrated by the evocative voice of Yan Leiva, it guides the listener through dreamlike landscapes where reality and imagination intertwine. Each segment unfolds like a metaphor, reflecting on themes of human connection, the chaos of existence, and the search for meaning within disorder. The narration serves as the core around which the entire composition revolves, connecting atmospheric soundscapes with melodic elements that range from ethereal to deep, resonant tones. Through careful layering of ambient textures and reimagined samples, “Sottopelle” strikes a delicate balance between light and darkness, vastness and intimacy, inviting the listener to a space that is both introspective and expansive. Like a story whispered before bedtime, but crafted for adults. Produced by
Maestrale. Visit Instagram @emanuelepiras_.
Magda Lampropoulou: When In Kitchen
"This composition was made with some sculptures of my recent sound installation "twist" which was presented in June 2024 at the Subset Festival and the Athens Epidaurus Festival. Sound sculptural constructions of objects and shapes with a feminine accent (bowls, plates and cutlery, faux pearls, seeds) are twisting and turning in a synchronized dance balancing between the fragile nature of materials such as glass and the tenuous dynamics of their sounds. The outer shell of metal, paper, glass and ceramic surfaces and their inner elements create diverse qualities of sounds. Utilizing the kitchen tools and equipment as my musical instruments, I aim to give them the voice to say loudly our feminine song." Produced by Magda Lampropoulou.

Manja Ristić & Mark Vernon: Calypso's Dream
"Cruel folk you are, unmatched for jealousy, you gods who cannot bear to let a goddess sleep with a man." (Calypso to Hermes, who has just ordered her to release Odysseus. Homer, Odyssey 5.120). Calypso’s Dream is a soundscape collection sculpted from the subtle sonic morphologies of the micro-environments on the island of Mljet in the South Adriatic. The collection serves as a conceptual counterpoint to Homer’s Odyssey and a critical reflection on commercial island attractions such as Odysseus’s Cave, where he was supposedly held captive for seven long years by the nymph Calypso. This project was supported by the Ministry of Culture and Media of the Republic of Croatia, and the Dubrovnik-Neretva County Department for Education and Culture. All sounds recorded and edited by Manja Ristić & Mark Vernon . Hydrophones used for underwater recording — JrF & Aquarian. Mastering by Goran Simonoski/La Plant Studio. Cover art, images, text by Manja Ristić.
Manja Ristić & Marko Paunović: Rituals In Transfigured Time
The body of culture we were born into lost all its limbs, and since then we are repeatedly reminded that such a body never really existed. The places where we spent our childhood were contaminated with borders and harsh memories of war. Our original cultural identity is undesired, we are encouraged to redefine ourselves and identify with the necropolitics of new nationalisms. The country crumbled into bits, many lost their loved ones and their homes, the land was intoxicated and the death count never ceased. The Yugoslavian culture was proclaimed extinct. Strangely, we can still feel it deep inside us, it consists of many textures of belonging. “Rituals in Transfigured Time” is made of field recordings from across Yugoslavia, from pristine nature to intoxicated lands and waters, from memorial sites to abandoned factories; analog instruments, radio appropriations; found sounds, voices long gone and forgotten. Produced by Manja Ristić and Marko Paunović.
Manja Ristić: Genesis
"Genesis" is inspired by the subtle relationships between sound and space, the phenomenology of sound, and contemporary research on communication systems in nature and ecology. In addition to the violin and EMS Synthi 100, the artist uses field recordings from Montreal, Portugal, the islands of Vrnik, Mljet, and Silba, various locations in Thailand, Lake Miraflores near the Panama Canal, and the slopes of Avala near Belgrade. Produced by Manja Ristić.
Margherita Brillada: Raw & Baked
A 30-minute electroacoustic composition with a focus on the disembodied radio voice. Inspired by daily actions in reverse order, the piece uses field recordings from Delft in spring 2024, blending raw and processed sound with found samples. Sharp cuts and softly processed sounds create a dynamic texture, with a tribute to Italian actress Monica Vitti. Premiering on Czech Radio's ARS ACUSTICA on May 29, 2024, this radio artwork showcases the composer's approach to radio art and soundscape composition. Produced by Margherita Brillada.
Mariam Morshed & Chris Smith: Spiraal
A collaborative performance led by Mariam Morshed (US, IR) with Chris Smith (UK) drawing upon the paranormal, OSTs, field recordings, discordant melodies and restless dreams. Shifting sounds and structures, eerie nuances, all as a red sun labelled “record" blazes to life. This piece was performed in July 2023 at IKLECTIK supporting dj lostboi.
Mark Vernon: A Loop Within A Loop
The Glasgow underground is a simple circular, concentric route travelling in both directions. The Inner Circle or the Outer Circle are the only choices - and if you plumped for the wrong one it takes only 24 minutes to do a complete circuit. Although at times incredibly noisy (you sometimes leave the train feeling mildly traumatised by the sound) the subway is undeniably one of Glasgow’s best-known and most familiar soundmarks. A Loop Within a Loop re-imagines the sounds of the subway network in an exploration of circularity, repetition and looped systems. Featuring field recordings made on the underground and interviews with former train drivers - voices and sounds, loop and repeat, come and go, ebb and flow - evoking the sensations of the subway - the rhythms, sounds and smells, the motion of the train, the grinding repetition experienced by the drivers, the impenetrable darkness and the light at the end of the tunnel. Produced by Mark Vernon. Visit meagreresource.com.
Mark Vernon: Drowned Villages Of The Derwent Valley
In the cold mists of the Derbyshire Peaks, beneath the leaden waters of Ladybower Reservoir, there are whispered legends of Derwent and Ashopton—the drowned villages. Once, they nestled quietly in the valley, their spires reaching upward as if in prayer. Now, the waters have swallowed them, murky and unyielding. Travellers along the reservoir’s edge sometimes claim to see shapes beneath the rippling surface: the suggestion of walls, the outline of roofs, a long-submerged memory surfacing for just a fleeting moment. Produced by Mark Vernon.
Mark Vernon: Otoconia
Named after the microscopic crystals of calcium carbonate within our inner ear that can cause vertigo when dislodged, Otoconia has an equally disorientating effect as all sense of time is dissolved in its delicate folds. Otoconia is an abstract and deeply immersive sonic experience crafted through the intricate interplay of field recordings and the EMS Synthi 100 synthesizer. The basis of the piece is formed from processed field recordings run through a chain of the Synthi's filters and effects. For the most part the piece was mixed live with some tinkering and adjustments after the fact. A significant departure from the work with found tapes and audio archaeology that Vernon has become known for. Produced by Mark Vernon. Visit grannyrecords.bandcamp.com/album/otoconia.
Mark Vernon: Saturnine Orbit
“Mark Vernon revisits the life and work spaces of an isolated and meditative Morandi, making the debris of everyday life reverberate through spectral soundscapes and eerie tones: an exercise in modern hauntology.” Saturnine Orbit is a radio work made for the Casa Museo Giorgio Morandi and in the spaces of the Campiaro barns (a favourite subject of the Bolognese painter during his holiday periods in the Bolognese Apennines in Grizzana Morandi). Produced as part of the ART CITY Bologna 2024 festival in association with XING, MAMbo Museo d’Arte Moderna di Bologna and NEU Radio. The piece was composed entirely from the sounds of Morandi’s summer house, his studio, replicas of the objects used in his still lifes and sounds recorded on the mountain trails he would often walk, starting behind the Casa Morandi. Visit meagreresource.com.
Martyn Riley & Loreal Prystaj: 59,312.85
Discovered a decade ago in the Oxfordshire woods, an abandoned car, lacking any discernible documentation, became a conduit for personal experiences related to stories, loss, and memories - real or imagined; an overwhelming fear and anxiety of losing one's memories. This sound-piece is a mileometer of recollections, interwoven narratives, featuring artist Loreal Prystaj voicing the artist's writings, filling in the gaps and redactions with her own experiences. Visit martynriley.co.uk.
Matana Roberts: Chasing Hopes On The Star Atlantic
"Just before the world shutdown in 2019 I voyaged on an English cargo ship from the United Kingdom to North America. I wanted to know, to embody the motion, movements of not only a history but of a wonder around sounds, memory, what we carry, what we leave behind whether by choice or force. I carried with me a small Roberts radio, that refused to work because there was no signal. So I kept an audio diary and from that, a series of field recordings and footage I made during this time, I present to you a radio collage of a life changing moment for me not only as an artist, but as a person.” A co-commission between Radiophrenia and Kunst zum Hören, Osterreich 1 produced with the support of Creative Scotland. Produced by Matana Roberts.
Mathias Guilbaud: Voies Urbaines, Rue Mespoul
"This creation relates the relationship I had with a construction site (a hospital being destroyed and renovated to make housing for the elderly) which I followed over several months. This piece reflects how I imagine these places when I feel them, how I regain a form of control over them by letting them express themselves. Trying to trigger an imagination, playing with urban sounds and more specifically construction sounds, so that can transgresses their origins. The empty buildings fill up, they breathe and become active where there was only noise and residue.” Produced by Mathias Guilbaud.
Matt Robin: Petra Hoc’H Eus Kavet? What Did You Find?
"This piece explores memory, loss, and cultural erasure through a phone call with my late grandmother who passed away in January 2024. In the conversation, she recounts her childhood in Brittany and sings “Petra hoc’h eus kavet, Yannig?” (What did you find, Yannick?)—a Breton song passed down orally from her grandmother. Once suppressed in France, the Breton language has now sadly been lost to our family. In my grief, I reach for lost connections, relying on imagination to fill gaps.” Produced by Matt Robin.
Media Petros: Between The Interlude (The Machine Never Stops)
A social media influencer journeys outside the comfortable world of her online homelife, with startling results, in this retro-futuristic radio drama.
Produced by Pete Petrisko (aka Media Petros).

Mirror Lamp Press Special Audio Issue: I Pretend Too
This special audio edition of Mirror Lamp Press brings together a collection of original works inspired by the 1950s song "The Great Pretender," originally performed by The Platters, weaving through themes of identity, imitation, and performance. Freya Dooley’s The Double looks at inauthenticity and emotional labour, following a supermarket cashier’s imagined interactions with a shoplifting doppelgänger. In A Frog Prepares, Isadora Epstein offers a retelling of a classic fairytale, with music and sound production by Davy Kehoe. With Send in the Clowns, Sophie Robinson delivers a raw, reflective poem on heartbreak and self-betrayal, drawing inspiration from Stephen Sondheim’s sad clown archetype. Edy Fungs’s text-sound composition Soft Selves examines identity and unpredictability in music, featuring words by Andrea Bjurström. The glitchy sounds of a Vtech computer paired with Rachel Heavey’s childhood voice create a nostalgic and experimental atmosphere in Word Builder.

Produced by Mutant Beatniks. Visit mixseriescollection.bandcamp.com.
Myriam Pruvot: Onda & Storia
A child shares her vision of the world. From her tale emerge songs and places where past, present and future intertwine. A polyphonic choir punctuates this epic, recounting the adventures of an infanta as she travels through multiple landscapes. From a salt quarry to the ruins of a palace, from a nocturnal forest to the depths of a storm, Onda & Storia is both a documentary account of childhood, which does not evade violence, and a musical fiction: a modest opera. Onda & Storia is an adaptation and extension of the radio performance "Un opéra modeste" created in 2021, on a child's scale. Produced by Myriam Pruvot.
Nadia Rossi: Digging Where We Stand
Digging Where We Stand (DWWS) was made in Spring 2024 for ‘Loose Tomatoes in the Back Yard’, an exhibition as part of GI Festival at Rumpus Room. The show brought a group of artists together to work with children and families to cultivate, build, write, make – becoming collective caretakers of the garden at Rumpus. It features 13 tracks recorded by kids in the yard who interviewed each other and shared stories from the garden alongside music made with Charlie Knox, Nadia Rossi, Angel Walker and Holly White. Track 8 features Jenny Pengilly and babies and carers from a playgroup called Romp Around, recorded in Autumn the year before at the Hidden Gardens, Glasgow. DWWS was mixed and mastered by Practice Good Practice at The Space, Glasgow, artwork by Nancy aged 5. Produced by Nadia Rossi.

Natalia Rivera Riffo: Resonance Of The Underearth: Dialogues With The Sonic Spirits Of Nature
An immersive radio work that explores the hidden depths of the Earth through sound. It emphasizes a decolonial perspective on ecology, inviting listeners to hear the voices of nature's sonic spirits. This piece blends natural recordings with artificial intelligence and technological tools to create a multi-layered sonic experience. Compositions such as "Scram the Glacier," "Shynte Aanda," "Respira," "Forêt Millenary Araucaria," and "Ritus" reflect different elements of the Earth's life forces. By giving a voice to nature, the work challenges anthropocentric perspectives and seeks to reconnect humanity with the planet's deep ecological wisdom. Produced by Natalia Rivera Riffo.
Neil Luck & Mimi Doulton: Five English Folk Songs
Five English Folk Songs by Neil Luck & Mimi Doulton is a collection of marginal traditional singing techniques and songs dug out by Neil and Mimi. These five songs all explore magical forms of communication with non-human energies; Flora, Fauna, Deities, The Dead, and the Quasi-Dead. The idea that song, and the performance of song have some kind of efficacy or sympathy beyond the realm of living humans is an idea that lives and thrives in places far flung from this cluster of mild islands, but has gotten lost and buried in 21st century Western empiricalness. We hope this opens some windows for you. Some liberties have been taken with interpretation; melodies swapped out, lyrics changed, structures altered, sounds invented, stories retold, truths averted.
Neolithic Cannibals
Neolithic Cannibals is a socially engaged sound art project and exhibition from the young people of Whitehawk and East Brighton, and artist Simon James, who was born and raised in Whitehawk. As part of the Class Divide campaign for fairer education, the project confronted issues of stigma and what it means when we listen to the unheard and invisible. Textures, shapes and patterns derived from archaeological materials place the Neolithic Cannibals soundscape deeply within the heritage and history of Whitehawk in Brighton. The listening spans thousands of years, from Neolithic Flint Knapping to the early 20th century geophysical techniques used to discover Whitehawk Camp, and now the young artists from Whitehawk creating a contemporary artefact using the sounds of their environment. Communities connecting across thousands of years through listening. Visit www.simonsound.co.uk.
Netta Weiser And Nora Amin: Invisible Walks Across Tahrir Square A Radio Choreography
A collaboration between choreographer and sound artist Netta Weiser and performer and writer Nora Amin. The piece revolves around a choreographic poem the artists co-created in a process that combined somatic practice and collaborative writing. The text unfolds a body memory of Nora: walking across the pedestrian bridge over Tahrir Square, looking up at her mother’s legs exposed by a short skirt. This childhood memory manifests conditions that have changed considerably since then: The bridge no longer exists, Tahrir Square was the site of the 2011 revolution (in which Amin took a leading part), and short skirts are no longer allowed in public spaces in Cairo. Amin and Weiser wrote and rewrote this biographical memory finding a shared voice that raises the question: Who owns the memory? In this radiophonic composition, one can hear the voice of Nora, surrounded by sounds of moving, touching and humming bodies. Visit radio-choreography.net.

Ni & Katerina: Interfere/Conjunct/Displace
Most of the time radio is used by and for people to communicate with each other, to project sounds into the invisible space, to make causal connections and statements. We are curious about the sound of that invisible space - what can it communicate back to us if we shift our perception of the senses? We aim to explore the ephemeral, that which lies beyond our regular range of hearing and perception. By listening, we ask where, when and how do we exist in the sound field? Produced by
Ni and Katarina. Visit Instagram @postintrotwone and @sonoronja.
Nichola Scrutton: Memory Dream Encounter 2
Memory Dream Encounter 2 is a second collection of micro-commissions curated by Nichola Scrutton during her Night Vision project in 2023.

The composers/sound artists were invited to respond freely in sound to an abstract, light play photograph, which was taken during Nichola’s 2023 residency at Tramway Glasgow. Produced by Nichola Scrutton.
Nils Loret: Derrière Les Dunes (Behind The Dunes)
A documentary that questions love and sexuality by guiding the listener through open-air meeting places threatened with extinction. These rumoured meeting places exist just about everywhere, frequented exclusively by those who know what they are looking for: the fulfilment of a fantasy, the meeting of sexual partners, the excitement of the forbidden. The two characters in the documentary have frequented these cruising grounds together to explore their desires and build their love. They hit it off immediately. Together they defend a queer culture written in the furrows left by the coming and going of bodies in these open-air cruising grounds. Behind the dunes, skin heats up, bodies are lost and desires grow. Behind the dunes a culture is passed on, a heritage is eroded and a love is cemented. Behind the dunes, they show us the places where people cruise in silence. Produced by Nils Loret.
No Noise Projects (Chris Biddlecombe & David Trouton): Death Of A Supranaturalist
Our earlier investigations into the lost pioneers of ‘sound-recording-as-art’ led us to the enigmatic character of Charles Glancer - the North American composer, sound-recordist and obscurest philosopher. We created a performance piece about Glancer’s curious death for The Festival of Death at CCA in 2015. Since then we have continued to research and make sense of the many stories that revolve around his final recorded composition - was his body found at the piano… or did he completely disappear?
For those that follow his strongly held “idealist” position on the function of the artist, his end could be seen as a metaphysical conjuring trick – the vibrations of the artist transforming into the artwork itself. Through the reconstruction of original tapes this broadcast will piece together side-ways thoughts, intricate details, mood and sound and silence - flowing and merging - before, during, and after his death. Produced by Chris Biddlecombe and David Trouton.
Northfield Lenox: Proof Of Concept
Bricks made of audio excerpts from 1970s detective television programmes are stacked in a cluttered formation. The samples used are not dialogue, musical scores or intricate foley - but of the bits that remain. The shuffling, coughing, moving, activity of people; as well as incidental music, traffic, machines and the occasional radio burst. A mortar of ambient sounds fixes these bricks into a wall ripe for mediative viewing. Visit northfield-lenox.com.

The piece encompasses spoken word, modular sounds, architectural and bureaucratic fiction, lists and ambient musical accompaniment. Produced by O.J.A.I. in 2024/25 for Radiophrenia Glasgow. Text and voice by Gary Farrelly. Sound and mix by Chris Dreier. Piano by Tim Löhde. Visit jointintelligence.org.
Oliver Chapman & Phoebe Eccles: Dog Fm
DOG FM is the debut release by the London-based duo of field recordist Oliver Chapman and poet Phoebe Eccles. Combining Chapman’s seemingly banal snapshots of a family car journey with Eccles’ fantastic, reflective spoken verse, DOG FM deftly transports the listener through a series of uncanny and oft-times bizarre audio travelogs where tension and expanse alternate to disorientating effect.
Omara Poppe: Moyo
"Two years ago, my father returned to his homeland Togo after 30 years. He left to set up a beer brewery 'Moyo Brasserie'. I had no idea if I would ever see him again. My father's life has always remained a dark stain. I became accustomed to him avoiding my questions as the years went by, though frustration and curiosity about his story grew more. In January, I went to visit him for a month. Through the answers he finally gives me, I try to understand why he made certain choices and why he never wanted to talk about them, including why he decided to leave and leave us, his family, behind. This audio documentary is set in an artisanal brewery on the warm beach of the of the Gold Coast. Together with my dad in the hammock, with his chickens, cats and his dog Moyo." Produced by Omara Poppe.

Paul Nataraj & Masimba Hwahti In Response To Julian ‘Togar’ Abraham Soil Root Leaf
In this project Paul Nataraj and Masimba Hwati capture almost five years of fascinating conversations as they stood upon different soils in different geographies and time zones. Their work considers the complex entanglements of migrant stories, memory, identity, otherness, sonic and musical materiality in each of their practice. The basis of this piece is a modified record, which has been covered with calico, dyed with mud collected from a contentious location in Harare where the New Zimbabwe flag was hoisted in 1980. Alongside this 'earth dipped record' we hear field recordings of family prayers, onomatopoeic vocalisations, and experimental turntable practices using mediated records. The work remembers stories of myth, music, mantras and math, all rooted in our collective interest in factive, mnesonic practices of resistance and sonic action(s) may you - repeat 108 times. Masimba re-members how in Chidzimbahwe folklore, the soil hums ultra sound songs to the offspring of mice below the surface, subtle vibrational songs that humans cannot hear, songs of healing and comfort. This is part of a terra-ancestral ontology, nomadically sounding material memories, through leaf soil and root.

Pete Hazell: Limbo Calling Episode 1, Fear Swim
These are the dispatches of a “83", a solitary Radio Operator stationed at a remote outpost in Limbo. His duty is to monitor the blizzard of static and report back anything of note... As the characters, music and ambiguous broadcasts emerge the Operator comments on the recordings as well as life at the mysterious Outpost. But why does HQ never answer? Where are the broadcasts coming from? And who is Old Leonard? In Episode 1 we meet the organiser of a horror swimming event, hear a song about a crocodile and 83 reflects on a supernatural experience. Episodes 1-6 plus bonus episodes are at limbotapes.podbean.com. Produced by Pete Hazell (a.k.a. Titus 12).
Phew: Jamming 2025
"As a child I travelled the world on BCL radio and was fascinated by the music and languages of distant countries with fading phenomena. Once, while checking the shortwave band, a 'pheeew' noise passed by. The frequency range was very wide and the overall frequency was heard to rise in a continuous sequence of changes. What was that sound?Jamming 2025 is an attempt to recreate that experience from memory.“ Produced by Phew. Visit phewjapan.bandcamp.com.
Phoebe Mc Indoe: Red Of Visibility
"Growing up I went to a catholic primary school where the school emblem and colour was red. We had a visiting doctor who would see us in the head mistress' study without our red uniforms on. In this red space I had my first experience of bad touch. Or as I now call it, sexual assault. This piece is an attempt, years later, to explore and reclaim the colour red.” Produced by Phoebe McIndoe.

Post Doom Romance: Glimmers On The Archipelago
One hour audio composition. This album was created at The AARK (Archipelago Art Residency in Korpo, Finland). More Glimmers …. As it was summer, the days were long, stretching into what would normally be considered night. Free of almost any responsibilities, we drifted in what felt like a timeless space that allowed for long meandering walks through the forests and shorelines, bicycle rides and sea kayaking. There was also the ferry taxi that takes people much further out to sea, where the islands are more sparsely populated and the blue expanse seems even larger. Some days we would ride bicycles on the curving road into town and sit at Hjalmar’s bar, sipping ciders and eating probably the best french fries Mykel has ever tasted. Sometimes it was quiet, other times the place would be full of travelers crossing through the archipelago on holiday. Produced by post doom romance: Mykel Boyd and seah (Chelsea Heikes).

Prepodavatelsky Sostav: Birds Of Ruins
To describe the concept of the performance, it is necessary to tell a little about the independent exhibition Zabroshka. This cultural event regularly takes place in Yekaterinburg in abandoned territories. Initially, the exhibition was a self-organized flash mob of street art artists of the city. Later, institutional artists, art groups and musical communities joined it. Artists choose the location, theme of the exhibition, distribute places among themselves and for a month paint on the walls and make site-specific installations inspired by the authentic look and features of the territory. The exhibition lasts one day. The performance of Prepodavatelsky Sostav consisted of an experiment with a combination of electronic noise, female voice, romantic poetry and mixing all the components with delay effects to achieve a psychoacoustic effect on the listener. Prepodavatelsky Sostav (Teaching Staff) is a spontaneous collaboration of sound artist and noise musician Viktor Sapronov (Ryeshta), poetess Anna Sitnikova (Leleyapoems) and musician Tatyana Trachevskaya (blcb8a).

Radio Active On Water: Liquidation By Meira Asher
There is currently a structural water crisis in the Palestinian Occupied Jordan Valley. Not a climate or geographical water crisis, a deliberate socially and politically engineered crisis. Israel, since it invaded the West Bank in 1967, controls every public aspect of civilian life in the Jordan Valley. Israel administers two populations, the Israeli settlers and the indigenous Palestinian residents. Israel deliberately and strategically deprives Palestinian farming communities of access to fresh, clean and reliable water supplies, water that is needed for crops and herds, as well as for the Palestinian farmers and herders. This can mean either not permitting them to be connected to municipal water supplies, despite the Israeli settlers having such access. It also entails not permitting Palestinian people to sink new wells on their own land, and blocking their access to existing wells and springs, either by fencing off the water source or destroying pipes bringing the water to the herders and farmers. The end result is frequently that either the farmers have to pay extortionate prices to purchase water from the Palestinian authority, or if they cannot afford this option they are forced to abandon their land and way of life. Featuring the water truck driver, co-activists Natasha and Nitsan, shepherds community of Khalet Makhul, shepherd ‘W’, shepherds community of Hirbet Samra and Aref Daragmah.

Put an end to an unbearable silence, to decompartmentalize the story of a family fractured by illness. Told by the sister of a young man, whose schizophrenia declared itself 12 years ago. A decade of suffering and adaptation to psychiatric vertigo. Years, during which the attention paid to the suffering brother, made invisible the impact of an altered daily life on the other child: me. “Schizophonies” vacillates between an atypical psychic world and the pragmatic reality of a society where so-called “madness” is still worth being locked away.

Route Émilie: Ivresses
Ivresses is a story between Jules and wine. Cyclical, immersive and sensitive, its setting is the arid vineyards of Corbières, the humid cellars of the Ariège mountains, the stifling heat of summer festivals. It's a loopy refrain in which pilfered harvests, pirate distillations, festive bottlings, bubbling vats, and wines that don't have time to age are intertwined. Produced by Émilie Route.

Cross talk and frequency drifting pulls the strings of his heart and relating to loops and rough editing, audio drop outs, a Sonic Organic.

Produced by Shaun Robert.
Shhe: Como é O Som Do Guaíba
In November 2024, sound artist and musician SHHE travelled to Porto Alegre in Brazil for a month-long residency with Kino Beat Festival. In May 2024, the river broke its banks, contributing to the worst flooding that Brazil has experienced in 80 years, impacting 2.3 million people and displacing 600,000 across Porto Alegre and the surrounding regions. What does it mean to live on the margins of such a powerful water body? Combining field recordings, testimonials and experiences shared through a multitude of voices - human and nonhuman – the sound work resonates around the question, Como é o som do Guaíba? Produced by SHHE.
Shoot The Breeze

Simina Oprescu: Green Hermeticism
This binaural composition, inspired by Green Hermeticism by Peter Lamborn Wilson, intertwines spoken word and psychoacoustic phenomena, guiding listeners through a narrative on consciousness, matter, energy, and spirit. Drawing on key citations from the text, the work explores unconventional belief systems, where the symbolic becomes real, and nature is seen as a perceptive entity. With references to Ilya Prigogine's theories and Novalis' hermetic science, it delves into how consciousness shapes the natural world, unfolding through rhythm and transformation—from mineral to plant, animal, human, and divine. This journey reflects hermetic principles of unity and creation, as consciousness seeks itself through all metamorphoses. Narrator's voice at the beginning: Zach Hart. Recorded, designed and composed by Simina Oprescu. Produced by Simina Oprescu.
Siobhan Leddy: Activities For Listening
Activities for Listening is an experiment in listening. A mysterious nonhuman entity wants to teach us how to hear their name, which lies outside of ordinary hearing thresholds for most humans. Our narrator tries to teach us how to listen otherwise, guiding us through different ways of listening to extend our regular human sensing abilities. We listen into the sonic worlds of bats, the upper atmosphere, and the micro-vibrating honeycombs of a beehive. Music by Kevin Chow. Mixed and mastered by Johan Östman. Image by Tal Chodos. Produced by Siobhan Leddy.

Sonic Rituals By The Dyski Rosemerryn Sound Collective
In 2024, Drs. Sally Rodgers and Steve Jones undertook a Dyski artist residency in West Cornwall. Situated in woodland near Lamorna Cove, amid neolithic caves and standing stones, their project "Sonic Rituals" took participants on a sonorous journey deep into the landscape and its histories. For Sonic Rituals, Rodgers and Jones employed various techniques - including sound art lectures, workshops, deep listening exercises, and performative rites - designed to invoke our primordial connection with sound and landscape. This experimental radio mix, created by Sally, features audio, sound, and music developed during the residency by both the artists and participants. It includes excerpts from workshop materials such as Hildegard Westerkamp's "Kitt's Beach" and works by John Cage and Murray R. Schafer. Other contributions come from participants Peter Rice, Adam McCreedy, Luanna McCallum, Charlotte Bourne, Liv Bartlett, Laura Irvin, Dan Cippico, Tom Gecim, Toby Edwards, Maria Shevchenko and Dyski founder Dion Star.
Stephane Borrel: Les Pleureuses (The Mourners)
Les Pleureuses (The Mourners) is an excerpt from an electroacoustic work untitled Laughing Tonalities. It is customary to contrast laughter with crying. On a purely sonic level, however, things seem much less clear-cut. Sometimes we cannot tell by ear whether the person we hear is laughing or sobbing, and to know, we must search in their face. The vocal sounds produced during funeral ceremonies leave no room for doubt. But nerves are sometimes so tried that laughter can arise without us expecting. Moreover, we remember that there still exist (in China, India, Africa) professional mourners hired to feign grief during funerals in order to give an augmented impression of importance to the tribute paid to the deceased. These various remarks are provided to suggest possible readings of the piece that mobilizes two, then three, and finally four women's voices. Produced by Stephane Borrel.
Steve Ashby And Vicki Hallett: Drawn And Twisted
Drawn and Twisted focuses attention on the sonic qualities of the heritage machines housed in the National Wool Museum of Australia. The work explores the stages of processing wool from raw fleece into commercial products. It portrays an interweaving of the hardship and prosperity inherent to the history of manufacturing sheep’s wool from herding to shearing to finished product. The process yields the thread of comfort and warmth brought to the world in the form of clothing, jackets, blankets, and socks. It has also polluted waterways adjacent to mills where the wool is cleaned, trampled the grasslands to dust with the herding of sheep, and impinged upon the freedom and vitality of indigenous people. Drawn and Twisted is a listening towards a future in which the knowledge from as yet untold stories and perspectives is foregrounded, where a reverence for the land embraces a returned vitality to its native grassland. Produced by Steve Ashby and Vicki Hallett.
Steve Ashby: Waiting On A Room
Waiting On a Room reflects on moments of transition. As opportunities await like a warm embrace, we wander into the new with a sense of excitement, a sprinkle of wonder, and a hint of what we will leave behind. Elements of lap steel, granular synthesis, and radio static merge with a foundation of tape loops to transmit the evolution of before, after, and between. Produced by Steve Ashby. Visit ashbysounds.org.
Stevie Jones: Tarmachan Transmissions
Tarmachan Transmissions is an experimental documentary of a collaborative recording session made at Tombreck, a sustainable housing collective on the banks of Loch Tay. It works with off-cuts and disused, peripheral sounds from a make-shift studio set up in the community’s Big Shed. This piece acts as a recursive, companion piece to the Quinie album, Forefowk Mind Me, which was produced by Stevie with Josie Vallely and musicians Ailbhe Nic Oireachtaigh, Harry Gorski-Brown and Ollie Pitt. Tarmachan Transmissions is as much a sonic portrait of place and community, located listening and DIY infrastructures as it is of co-creation and residency recording. Produced by
Stevie Jones.
Storyteller: Hanging On The Telephone

Studio Cybi: Alone Together, Ar Ben Ein Hunain Gyda’N Gilydd
Studio Cybi’s, Ar Ben Ein Hunain Gyda’n Gilydd, is an hour long audio poem, blending synth, archival sounds (from The Slatemakers a 1980 Horizon documentary and assorted YouTube recordings taken from old raves) and spoken word into a manifesto-prayer fusion. Produced by Studio Cybi, a curatorial duo from Holyhead, North Wales, comprising artists Iwan Lewis and Rebecca Gould. Visit www.studiocybi.com.
Subespai: St. Lawrence
In "St. Lawrence", Subespai delves into the essence of tradition by weaving a mesmerising ambient soundscape around a looped traditional tune from Menorca's vibrant public festivities. Captured by his wife during the celebration, the melody serves as a heartfelt anchor, introducing listeners to a familiar cultural touchstone. As the piece unfolds, the recognisable elements gradually dissolve into a rich tapestry of textured drones and ethereal effects, inviting the audience on a journey of transformation and exploration. This sonic evolution reflects Subespai's signature approach, where sounds guide the narrative, creating an immersive experience that honours heritage while embracing abstraction. The result is a meditative soundscape that resonates with the listener, evoking a sense of place and introspection. Produced by Subespai.
Subterra: Ballad Of The Fermyn
In this radio play, told through the voice of the Narrator, we are presented with an eccentric cast of characters living with an ever disenchanted and hostile landscape made up of old mines, towering blast furnaces, an inexplicable blackness which seems to spread insidiously, and a strange red substance that emanates from the earth. The veil is thin in this world. Perhaps you best enter the Inn of Ill Omen, order a nice frothy pint and rest your aching soul by the hearth. In the dim light an open hand reveals a blood red ironstone, an amulet that will reveal the way to "that place"... or so the story goes. SUBTERRA is a collaboration between Astrid Björklund and Marie-Chantal Hamrock. Visit Instagram @sub.terrestrials.

"This audiopaper is about a concept I developed called Overflowing Lines, and from it, I begin to think about the human relationship with nature from the perspective of art and my indigenous origin, as well as the indigenous cosmoviews of Brazil, my country. I have been developing sonic pieces that draw such relationships: human and trans-humans forms of interactions and the disposition of my own body and voice to activate them and be a channel for transmitting nature-devenirs, in dialog with the concept of Deleuze and Guattari.” Produced by Tassia Mila Novaes.

All those fragments and noises are then mixed and combined in a long and coherent track, resulting in a choral soundscape where the result is bigger than the sum of its parts. The track shared is the July 2024 iteration, featuring: Gianluca Ceccarini, Fallen, Manuel Carbone, Stefano Trezzi, Klaus Von Mork, Ian Vine, Rikard Fvs, Paul Beaudoin.

Thomas Catlaw: Soundsketches Of A Desert Suburb
This work sonically tells a story of a day in the life of a suburb in Arizona’s Sonoran Desert. It consists of four connected soundsketches based on field recordings at four locations central to the city’s life. Here, the forces of nature and urbanization create soundscapes both beautiful and brutal. Water, long gone from its original surface locations, re-emerges everywhere in human-made forms. “Bridge (Daybreak)” opens the work as the sun rises and day begins over a pedestrian bridge at Town Lake, once a dry river bed. “House (Morning)” travels to suburban tract housing, where swimming pools are an ecological affront and sanity-saving sanctuary in the face of climate change. “Canal (Afternoon)” visits a lifeline bringing water to the city from great distances. It is increasingly a space of recreation and development. In “Park (Twilight),” evening play, cicadas, and water dripping within a canal gate usher in the night. Produced by Thomas Catlaw.
Tom White: An Awful Energy
The Oare Marshes Nature Reserve in Kent was once used to manufacture gunpowder for the first world war effort. On 02 April 1916 a series of massive gunpowder explosions took the lives of 108 people (including White’s Great Grandfather, Sydney Clubb) and injured many more. The blast left a crater 40 yards wide and 20 feet deep. The explosion was so huge it was reportedly felt in Norwich and heard in France. Remnants of the site remain to this day among the rich ecosystem of birds, insects and non-native marsh frogs. An Awful Energy attempts to draw connections with the past and its present inhabitants/uses of the space; the tragic consequence of a singular event and the development of a very different ecology. Through site specific recordings and actions tracing fading lines in the landscape; a sonic demarcation or archeology can be felt. Produced by Tom White.

Two Works For Radio By Harvey Young
Two works for Radio by Harven Young. First Lament for the Old Clock tells the story of an 18th-century agricultural worker plunged into the vicious new frontier of industrial capitalism who must leave his simple agrarian existence behind and submit to the callous and dehumanising demands of the factory floor. The piece documents the change in temporality from the feudal notion of cyclical, reverential time to the concept of future-oriented progress that defined the beginning of the industrial revolution. Footsteps Whistle Through My Valley is an audio paper detailing and exploring interactions with the Tees-Exe Line, a physiographic boundary stretching from the mouth of the River Tees in North Yorkshire to the mouth of the River Exe in Devon that roughly divides Britain into its lowlands and uplands.

Una Lee: Imaginary Conversations
A piece of radiophonic storytelling filled with obscure words, names and verses apparently with little to no explanations attached. In the centre sits Heo Nanseolheon, a prodigy poetess from 16th century Korea, followed by a string of poems cryptically unfolding her tragic life story which was due to her gender at the time. The piece also addresses the story of Lucia Galvani, the wife of Luigi Galvani, who played a crucial role in her husband's scientific work, but was never credited, expressed through verses penned by the poet Jo Shapcott excerpted from opera, Alive and Kicking, and an entry from Encyclopedia Britannica. Produced by Una Lee.
Unconscious Collective: Radio 15 Presents 'The Great Gestalt Twitch
Moving between them in quick succession recordings of trains continuous loop allowing him to trigger together the various train sounds as needed. The collage work may have a completely different tone than that of the component parts, even if the original parts are completely recognisable. Procedures such as the quodlibet and centonization differ in that the various elements in them are made to fit smoothly together, whereas in a collage clashes other discrepancies are important in helping the constituent elements and to convey the impression of a heterogeneous assemblage. What made their technique true collage, however, was the juxtaposition of the unrelated. Produced by London-based collective: Jane Burton, Doris Lake, Samantha Brook & Rachel Parks. Visit

Unconscious Collective: The Land Of The Escaping Sound
From an archive of sounds, something mysterious is said, sonics repeated so they change in nature, from the listening point a journey is taken. Informally, public domain refers to works that are publicly available; the formal definition states that it refers to works which are intangible to private ownership or are available for public use. As rights are country-based and vary, a work may be subject to rights in one country and not in another. Playing the cultural awareness game, putting things together is a technique where sound objects, are created from collage, also known as montage, the use of portions of found or various sources. Some rights depend on registrations with a country-by-country basis, and the registration absence in a particular country implies public domain status there. A library of sound files on several different time scales importation into the library of the editing and mixing programme use of the cursor. The "unconscious collective project” is Jane Burton, Doris Lake, Samantha Brook and Rachel Parks. Visit instituteforalienresearchvariousartists.bandcamp.com.

Ute Wassermann: Imaginary Habitats
Ute Wassermann interweaves her voice with field recordings of birds, insects, frogs - of creatures that move across the boundaries between air, water and earth and finds new and different resonance places far away from their original environment. Fragile, seemingly natural sounds, such as the buzzing of bees under water, can be transformed into technoid drones. Snippets of soundscapes ghost through objects. 'Imaginary Habitats' is a co-commission between Radiophrenia and Goethe Institut Glasgow. Visit utewassermann.com.
Verónica Cerrotta: Camadas Verticales

Waste Land Receiver
An hour of alternative, folk and indie music plus discussion hosted by Robert Quinn. Borrowing its title from T.S. Eliot’s 1922 poem, Waste Land Receiver sends a message to and from the void through music with consideration of the poem’s themes of despair, lack of humanity, and fragmentation with a will for its alternative.

Wolfgang Pérez: Memorias Fantasmas
"Memorias Fantasmas is based on a 1982 concert recording by my family in a church in Segovia, Spain, thought lost but rediscovered last year. The composition uses loops from the original recording with minimal new material added. Each of the three sections begins with a loop that is repeated mantra-like, inviting listeners to focus on sonic details which are gradually varied and developed. The piece follows principles of Reduced Listening (Pierre Schaeffer) and processes the sounds through sampling, downgrading, filtering and distortion. The work emphasises the spaces between sounds, allowing imperfections to take on a life of their own. It reflects the nostalgia for lost futures described in Mark Fisher's Hauntology, as the resurfaced material represents a past I didn’t experience, yet feel connected to.”

Xentos Fray Bentos: Dream Escape Hatch
Radio is still the only location you can walk in a perfect circle and never arrive back at the same spot - and perhaps the only place where the face in the mirror is never expected to present the same image twice. Working both in and outside the unique coterminous space that radio offers us, Xentos Fray Bentos presents a series of concrete possibilities designed to disrupt, delight and facilitate a seamless exchange with multiple uncertainties. Dream Escape Hatch: as we journey from the surface of the moon back to a Waitrose shelf stocked with cans of bargain baked beans, we encounter a captive King Charles, a lyrical conundrum from the days of the Fab Four and discover an opportunity to dissolve in a ribald concussion of the senses.

Yara Asmar: I Am Building A House So You Can Visit Me
Tape letters between two friends, one living in a blanket fort, the other in a house of paper, and both deeming each other’s homes unsound, can’t seem to agree on who should visit the other. So instead, one of them builds a house they can meet in out of the safest material: noise. Produced by Yara Asmar.
Yashique: Stream Of Conciousness
"This piece was composed by sending Tartinis Devil's Trill Sonata through a micro delay plugin, I developed during my master's in Sound Design in Scotland. The plugin takes in the input audio and then splits it into 20 different buffers, uniquely processes each buffer and then joins them back together creating a sonic mosaic of the original piece. The title Stream of Consciousness mirrors the intensity and flow of a frightening or impactful dream with the aim to reimagine Tartini's journey to deconstruct the dream that inspired him to compose the original Sonata in G Minor.” Produced by Yashique Chalil.
Yol: Health And Safety Broadcast
“I recently got access to an old factory space as part of a residency I was doing with Hull Artists Research Initiative and started to think about health and safety aspects of these places, both from my perspective and the buildings." Produced by Yol.
Yulia Carolin Kothe, Katerina Sidorova, Max Brück: How To Navigate A Bog?
Walking through a bog is like stepping into another world, where the familiar rules of the land no longer apply. Your first step feels strange - the ground moves beneath you, soft and uncertain. During their residency in West Cork (Ireland) the artists Yulia Carolin Kothe, Katerina Sidorova and Max Brück worked on a growing archive of personal, historical and mythical stories about the bog shared by locals: The performance interview ‘Sfag’ + ‘nuhm ' made for ‘How to navigate a bog?’ by visual artist and psychotherapist Deirdre Johanna Humphrys, outtakes from a pub poetry and music event dedicated to bogs and secrets with locals from Schull and a soundscape by Yulia Carolin Kothe. This work is an invitation to navigate the bog through a collection of stories that the landscape preserves. It is an invitation to listen and a welcome to getting lost. Mastering: Antonia Alessia Virginia Beeskow.
Yulia Carolin Kothe: Poltergeist Or Some Scene Else
Poltergeist or Some Scene Else is an essayistic radio work by Yulia Carolin Kothe that takes the Barras Market's (Glasgow) syntax of artefacts as a starting point for creating an expanding and ever-evolving tableau of intense, uneasy acousmatic atmospheres. The conspicuous and omniscient narrator takes the listener on a rambling walk through the Barras entering private and public spaces, a remote cottage and various ambivalent territories home to disembodied voices and close up traces of life like a wet ring of a coffee cup just plucked from the scene. Kothe's own electronic compositions are juxtaposed with re-articulated oral histories, chopping up DIY recordings on cassettes purchased from the Barras Market, and combining with avantgarde German poems by Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven (1874–1927), Thekla Lingen (1866-1931), Karoline von Günderrode (1780-1806) and Anna Ritter (1865–1921).

Zara Joan Miller: Year Of The Dragon
Year of the Dragon. A mother draws a circle. Spins round. Pins everything but the tail on the donkey. She wants to know how the dragon makes fire, gets inside it. On the inside things slow. Written in the Year of the Dragon, Zara Joan Miller’s long poem traces fire across a year. The figure of Saint Margaret, who freed herself from the belly of a dragon, is relocated in living voices that challenge structures of oppression today. A year of feeding fire, of dousing and soft loving. A mother waits in disguise by the fire exit. Produced by Zara Joan Miller. Year of the Dragon is co-commissioned by TACO! and blurt, an experimental platform supporting artists to develop text-based works for live reading and performance, and synchronous live-to-air broadcast on rtm.fm. In this testing-site for testing text, four artists and artist-groups consider radio broadcast as an expanded form of publishing. This co-commission is supported by the Outlands Network exchange programme.
