Spectral Transmissions Research Unit: Transmission #01
Cyclical time. Spectral media obliterates the boundaries between self and world, questions concerning the correct boundary between an alien everyday reality. Driven towards a madness. Resorting to illusory magical techniques. Fairies could once be heard making music under this artificial hill. The rustling of a woman's skirt could occasionally be heard behind the walls, as could ghostly music. A piano was said to play itself, even though most of the keys were broken. A ghostly black dog wearing a 1940s suit leaning on a bannister, Russian voices and music emerge from the jukebox. Within thirty seconds, the figure had vanished. Music is also said to be heard within the building when none should be playing. What was this abominable cipher? Made as part of Gravity Waves and The Spirit World. The Spectral Transmissions Research Unit is a collaboration between Ben Branagan Luke Pendrell dedicated to the theoretical and practical construction, dissemination, transmission, observation and analysis of spectral emanations.

Absolute Value Of Noise And Anna Friz: Water Line/Estuary Almanac Version 2
"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. Visit absolutevalueofnoise.ca and nicelittlestatic.com.

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.

Conversations On Belonging A 900 Voices Project: Episode 1, 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. Visit www.900voices.org.
10:30am - 11:00am
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.
11:00am - 11:30am
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_.

Mondlane (Lisa Fabian): I Hear Her Call: Salome...? Danu...? Come Ah Come...
A surreal folkloristic sonic tale or a journey through memories encountered in a fever dream. Scenic echoes intimately evolve, looped until they burst into strange atmospheres and rhythms.

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.

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.

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.
4:00pm - 5:00pm
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.
5:00pm - 5:30pm
Jim Colquhoun & Jamie Mc Neill: Interrogating The Archive
Jamie McNeill & Jim Colquhoun conduct a live-to-air conversation/performance/reenactment/primal scream in which they present each other with items from their respective archives, using them as prompts from which to provoke discussion/arguments about the items’ provenance and place within their 'shared’ story. This conversation/performance will be accompanied by a live remix of audio elements from their archives - phone-recordings patched through guitar fx pedals, fingers jammed into cassette players, the ritual stroking of broken phones in an attempt to tease out meaning, (any meaning will do), make us feel better about ourselves and force it all to make some kind of sense.

Matana Roberts: Chasing Hopes On The Star Atlantic (Radiophrenia 2025 Commission)
"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.

Mutant Beatniks: From A Silent Room
A piece for radio without words, only atmospheres, audio acoustic; narrative patterns. A portmanteau of following sounds; in a sequence that a range of ideas referring to the return or persistence of elements from the social or cultural past, as in the manner of a ghost in the machine. Produced by Mutant Beatniks. Visit mixseriescollection.bandcamp.com.

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.

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.

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).

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.

Spectral Transmissions Research Unit: A Common Treasury
In the beginning of Time, the great Creator Reason, made the Earth to be a Common Treasury, Amid all our familiar scenes stand memorials of the people who were here before us. In the wild magic of midsummer night’s eve, we embark on an hallucinatory journey through weed choked lay-bys where normative logic bends and succumbs to the tangential, the wayward and the transcendental. Here the ether is populated with unruly beasts and revolting peasants, an insolent jumble of noises, fragments and connections, unobserved rites, wild anarchy and the violence that haunts the spectral pastoral. Includes elements of: Battle of the BeanField 1985 (Operation Solstice) Gareth Morris, Russel Morris and Neil Goodwin; U.K Free Festivals-The 1980s, BBC Documentary; Winstanley, Kevin Brownlow, 1975; Being and Doing, Ken McMullen and Stuart Brisley, 1984; A Celebration of Midsummer, East Anglia, 1964. The Spectral Transmissions Research Unit is a collaboration between Ben Branagan Luke Pendrell dedicated to the theoretical and practical construction, dissemination, transmission, observation and analysis of spectral emanations.
