12:30am - 1:00am

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.

Shaun Robert: Spontaneous Radio

Built from many spontaneous instruments, objects and planned field recordings to capture time and place, then ruthlessly compiled in quick mirrored responses. Produced by Shaun Robert. Visit shaunrobert.bandcamp.com.

3:00am - 4:00am

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.

4:00am - 4:50am

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.

4:50am - 5:00am

I Broke The Vase: Sikinos

This piece was developed last summer during a residency on Sikinos, a Cycladic island in the Aegean Sea. The sound work is part of a larger performance that features original music and texts, written on-site and inspired by our exploration of the island’s landscapes and history—marked by pirate raids and its past as a place of exile. The work also draws on a recent tragic event: the disappearance of two women hikers, which left a lasting impression on our time there. Visit Instagram @ibrokethevaseduo.

5:00am - 5:30am

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

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.

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.

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.

9:30am - 10:00am

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.

10:00am - 10:30am

Dick, "The Hanging Stranger" presents a modern reinterpretation of the themes of social paranoia and political violence present in the original story. Visit montetaylormusic.com.

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.

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.

3:20pm - 3:40pm

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.

3:40pm - 4:00pm

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.

Elizabeth Flood Alliteration : Wfmu Radio Row

Alliteration is made from field recordings, audio diaries and edits exploring the space between transmission and reception, signal and noise, dreams and waking, here and there. The first half of the show introduces the players, and the second half closes the gap between the spaces, bringing everyone into conversation. This work was originally made for WMFU's Radio Row series. Aired 13 August 2023. Produced by Elizabeth Flood.

6:00pm - 6:20pm

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.

6:20pm - 7:00pm

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.

7:00pm - 7:30pm

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.

7:30pm - 8:00pm

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). Text by Caitlin Merrett King. Visit www.juliacarolinkothe.de.

8:00pm - 9:00pm

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. Translation from Arabic: Laila Abd El-Razaq. Introductory text: Liam Evans. Visit meiraasher.bandcamp.com and mixcloud.com/radioart106.

9:00pm - 9:50pm

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.

9:50pm - 10:00pm

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.

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.

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.
