Uncoordinated Universal Time
A long form radio work by Anna Friz, developed as part of a suite of iterations about radio and timekeeping. "My ongoing exploration on the perception and standardization of time through timekeeping and recording, and radio, culminates in this long-form radio piece exploring the continuous, irregular present by stretching, manipulating and suspending the ‘zero hour’ to produce Uncoordinated Universal Time." [Repeats Thursday 1am]

The Thread Ikea As A Non Place
Mitha Budyharto makes of Ikea a philosophical project. Central to the argument for the essentiality of place is the premise that to be is already necessarily to be somewhere (note: Plato – chōra), where traditionally to inhabit means to be ‘contained’ by a given milieu (note: Aristotle – topos). In homogenous ‘non-places’, the capacity of place to ‘hold’ us and our interaction with it assumes a disrupted form. One of the ways this disrupted form can be described is through considering memory, since it is memory, in binding person and place together, that might trace that disruption. Often, our relation to the anonymous non-place is established by means of non-linear memory, that is, images of the past that re-emerge in the present despite its incoherence with that present moment. This confirms that memory, even habitual memory, takes place in and through different moments in time, rather than remaining unchanged in it (note: against Bachelard). Memory disrupts the anonymity of the non-place as an image of the past – despite being disjointed from the present – comes to be re-lived in the present, hence making an experience of that non-place an ambiguous and uncanny one. Guests: Richard Martin and Matt Taunton.
1:30pm - 2:30pm
Hollingsville
Writer and broadcaster Ken Hollings on "Space Ship UK," an audio history of visions of the future realised by British musicians.
2:30pm - 3:30pm
There Then, Hear Now
Mark Aitken and Mick Gawthorp present sounds, words and music inspired by photographs. Today: pale blue dot. The last image taken by the Voyager 1 spaceship in 1990 at a distance of 6 billion km, shortly before the onboard camera was powered down inspires this weeks discussion and sounds. Amongst recordings from the moons over Jupiter, we hear the sounds nestled in the grooves of a gold plated disc housed in the spaceship, complete with instructions on how to build a record player. Human photography is over. Look to the stars.
3:30pm - 5:30pm
Sound And Space Supersonix
Two lectures recorded at the Supersonix conference (20 to 23 June 2012), part of the Exhibition Road Cultural Group Project. First, Barry Blesser and Linda-Ruth Salter, both independent scholars, present "The Aural Experience of Place: Expanding the Framework”. Then artist Bernhard Leitner explores the concept of "Ear Space Body Sound."
5:30pm - 7:00pm
Protest And Politics
From Cities and Memory comes a collection of the sounds of protest and political activism from around the world in the form of an interactive global sound map. The audio was collected from 27 countries, 49 cities and almost 200 sounds from Trump and Brexit to Black Lives Matter, Occupy and the G20. With the help of over 100 sound artists from around the world, there is also a remixed, reimagined sound world made from the sounds of protest accompanying the documentary field recordings. Part 3 tomorrow, same time.

Kill Switch
Live recording from 29 October 2012 of Richard Thomas's elaborate event realised as part of The Wire magazine's "Cage Rattling" series on and after composer John Cage. The title Kill Switch makes reference to synthetic biology. Cage had an often anthropomorphic engagement with the concept of nature, and used algorithms, cybernetic control systems and the like to generate pseudo-free biocentric content. Participants included Aleks Kolkowski, Richard Scott, Faizal Salauroo, Dan Hancox, Oscillatorial Binnage, Nils Norman, Panos Ghikas, James Butler, Aaron Peters, Arco Ensemble, plus video and audio from Murray Bookchin.
12:00am - 4:30am
Intimacy And Distance
Intimacy and Distance - Suspension of Belief. A repeat of our 2009 long-form radio art work, involving live rock climbing, commentary, wind and gull noise and minimal instrumental music. It's an ensmeble piece but the dominant elements are the landscape of the Penon d"Ifach, Alicante, Spain, where climbers Gaz Parry and Kate Mills make a difficult ascent; and the voice of veteran climber and writer Jim Perrin, in a studio in the Pyrenees. Recorded by Chris Weaver and Bob Drake, mixed by Nick Hamilton, remixed by Michael Sinden, conceived and directed by Ed Baxter and Chris Weaver. Incidental music by Max O'Brien and Resonance Radio Orchestra. Preceded by Sketch for Suspension of Belief by the Resonance Radio Orchestra with Christoph Alex.
