Chelidon Frame: Blues For A Shortwave Listener

A three-part, one-hour soundscape inspired by radio noises and shortwave listening. It was assembled using field recordings, modular synthesizers, and radio recordings. Conceived and produced between 2020 and 2021, it was the aural part of a slow TV program broadcast in Oakland, California. The soundscape is divided into three parts: 1. Check out the Future (00:00:00); 2. A Crescendo of Radio Hate (00:21:43); 3. Blues for a Shortwave Listener (00:34:13). Produced by Chelidon Frame.

1:00am - 2:00am

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.

2:00am - 2:30am

Andy Armstrong & Roy Culbertson: Centre Bildge

A decoupage of recent recordings by 2 off-and-on collaborators and expat Illinoisans Andy Armstrong and Roy Culbertson. A hodgepodge of boudoir synthesis, tape manipulation, pontoon reverberation, electromagnetic sounds, percussive banjo, feedback and hasty stops. Visit saa4.tumblr.com and libramar.bandcamp.com.

2:30am - 3:00am

Bill Thompson: Last Night’S Stars

These works were recorded late at night during long solo improvisations. A small table lamp illuminated the Moog guitar laid flat on a table surrounded by assorted found objects and guitar pedals whose multicoloured lights blinked delicately in the near shadows. Time moved slower. A sense of stillness and solitude provided a quiet contrast to the sounds pulsating around the room. Each take made as if it were an actual performance, the rule being always to finish the set. As much about training the mind as discovering something new, nothing was premeditated before the first sound occurred, the end never final, always open. The pieces are meaningless in that way from the moment of their first unravelling to their final decay into silence. They are explorations of the material at hand, the objects on the table, a sound sensed but as yet undiscovered. Produced by Bill Thompson.

3:00am - 3:30am

Limbo Calling: Episode 5, What's In The Basement?

Leonard convinces the operator to look for something in the basement. He finds it, and more... Also: We hear a show about a very special call centre, meet an interplanetary explorer, and listen to music about numbers. Produced by Pete Hazell, with additional material by Sean Lee. Theme music by Alex Lupo. Artwork by Everything Has Gone Wrong. These archive recordings throw a light for those who see shadow puppets in the noise and chaos radio airwaves. As we eavesdrop on the solitary Operator's dispatches, we wonder what we can learn about Limbo, and life at the ambiguous "outpost". All episodes available at limbotapes.podbean.com.

3:30am - 4:30am

Thleep: Broadcasts 04

THLEEP is an ongoing sound and light project exploring the therapeutic potential of neuro-acoustics and vision physiology to reduce anxiety and improve sleep. Initially developed as live performances involving large-scale LED screens and projections, in 2023 we began developing a series of audio-only works intended for listening via radio. These pieces blend natural and ambient sounds, offering experimental audio experiences that explore how sound can passively shape mental and emotional states. Integral to the approach is the subversion of perceived stereotypes of meditative sounds. The works are developed by a collective of artists, with Damian Rayne and Amit Rai Sharma being continuous members across the project. Visit thleep.earth.

4:30am - 6:30am

Vedran Mehinovic: December Bells

December Bells is an ambient work of nearly two hours, an expansion of an eight-minute kantele (Finnish zither) composition by Pauliina Syrjälä. An instructor at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, her piece Kirkonkellot (Church Bells) is based on a kantele recording from the early 20th century. The instrument is synonymous with Finnish identity, its creation attributed to the mythological shaman Väinämöinen, who chanted powerful spells. The densely overlapping textures of December Bells reflect this, along with the traditionally repetitive and interlocking nature of kantele performance, and similar singing styles of the Baltic region. Syrjälä’s work can be heard at Youtube. Visit www.babelscores.com/VedranMehinovic.

6:30am - 7:00am

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.

7:00am - 7:30am

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.

7:30am - 8:00am

George Burt, Raymond Mac Donald & Gordon Maclean: The Tobermory Clock

A celebration of the surprising story behind an everyday monument from the Edwardian era. Songs and soundscapes have been derived directly from the streets of Tobermory and the words of Isabella L. Bird, pioneering explorer, traveller and author who was the first female member of the Royal Geographic Society. Her far-sighted appreciation for cultures and ways of life outside the strictures of her Victorian religious upbringing. "A woman's right to do what she can do well". "You must know that I am at heart a savage." Produced by George Burt, Raymond MacDonald and Gordon Maclean.

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.

9:45am - 10:00am

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.

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.

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.

5:00pm - 5:30pm

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.

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.

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.

7:00pm - 8:00pm

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.

8:00pm - 8:45pm

Kunstradio 5: German Tapes By Runar Magnusson

"Many years ago I was given a bag of cassette tapes containing recordings of radio drama from German radio in the early to mid '90s. I have wanted to use these tapes for a project for a long time. When Kunstradio asked if I wanted to make a new work for them I knew the tapes would be coming out. In the summer of 2023 I spent 3 weeks in the Elektron Musik Studion in Stockholm where I digitised the tapes. I ran them trough various processes, mainly the Buchla modular synthesisers at EMS and recorded the results, hours or recordings. These recordings have become the soundsource for this piece. The German radio dramas and the Buchla 100 & Buchla200 modular systems." Produced by Runar Magnusson. Supported by the Danish Arts Foundation.

8:45pm - 9:00pm

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.

9:00pm - 10:00pm

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.

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.
