In this episode, School of the Damned collaborated with musician Sarahsson deep underground inside an abandoned mile-long WWII ammunition depot tunnel. On-site, we recorded a series of compositions featuring Sarahsson on tenor horn.

Interwoven throughout this episode is archival footage from the 1980s that was captured during a brief period when the depot was open to the public. The tunnel is also a hotspot for paranormal investigators, so we feature found recordings of people attempting to communicate with ghosts.

All the sounds you hear in this episode were recorded in Farleigh Down Tunnel.

Vague Wanderings is a bi-monthly collaborative live show from the 24-26 cohort of School of the Damned, exploring imagined spaces, temporary autonomous zones, collecting field recordings and the fertile topsoil of vague terrains.

In this edition, get ready to listen to the weirdest and most mind-blowing covers and drifts of Where Is My Mind? by The Pixies. There's no order, no lists, only stilted and exclusive material.

Rumba bands, super special Youtube stars, eminences of bardcore, piano lovers, dutch speakers, Fight Club fans, Misters and misses robots, rocker babies, zoologists, … all are welcome in Shuffle formula radio mode.

This episode features a special guest: Youtuber shonkywonkydonkey. Since 2016, he's been regularly uploading memes, mashups and other quirky content he feels like uploading. Formerly known as "the firefly guy" and "the Onision vocoder guy". Now better known as 'the "but it's all my voice" guy'.

Shuffle by Agnès Pe is a formula radio programme taken to the extreme: repetitive, obscure and humorous. Each episode presents obscure covers of a single song. “Anything that spreads by imitation or spreads by bodily reproduction, like genes, or by viral infection is a meme” - (Richard Dawkins, 2013).

On the brim of the galactic void, embedded in a gravitational pull and sheltered by a strong magnetic field, lies the rock: spirited, effervescent, spinning like a tiny misplaced whirligig.

While suffering from everlasting oblivion, its mischievous inhabitants are struggling to live in harmony. The memory of this restless world is so dense that it becomes tangible – folded, cramped in tiny particles, well-distributed and coated in divine refracting light, flickering, often eldritch, but solidly tightened. It holds in its viscera everything that has ever happened, like an insatiable body in permanent expansion, multiplying its limbs into infinity.

The journey starts from above, with the sound of the Earth ripping out space into a magnetic lotus, leaving a luminous trail of radioactivity behind.

Today’s programme consists of fragments from the omnipresent memory field and its slippery corners, savagely abstracted but gently placed on attentive bodies. With occasional attuning to the planetary "pipe" and its spinning neighbours, this transmission "source" is hosted by no one else but humpback whales, and it tackles the epic storytelling of their somewhat phantasmagoric dreamland.

Awake or asleep. Radio Astral is always listening.

Radio Astral is a flow of imaginative narratives derived from drone and ambient experiments, personal field recording archives, self-generative soundscapes, improvisational gestures and sequences on both conventional and unconventional instruments, as well as decompositions of random media archives.

The sound material aims to deliver carefully sculpted psycho-navigations, suggesting that the memory of the world is an energy compound containing us all—a multi-layered resonant field in constant interaction with the space-time continuum, which we eventually experience as a reality.

This sonic journey consists of 108 tracks.

As the year draws to a close, the 18-year cycle of relentless structural endurance finally ends (Pluto has finally left Capricorn). The siege is over, but the relief is not what you'd expect. It's accompanied by profound exhaustion and total disorientation at the very idea of existing without having to fight to survive.

That's the vertigo of bare existence when survival mode is switched off. All of this aligns closely with Byung-Chul Han’s take on self-exploitation in The Burnout Society and Mark Fisher’s thoughts on contemporary exhaustion.

This environmental audio stream is broadcasting live from the 'End of the World' glacier in Northern Italy's Stelvio National Park. The solar-powered listening station has been continuously transmitting since July 2025 from ca. 2.700 metres above sea level in the Italian Alps. We tune in daily to the glacier's cyclical sonic material life, allowing us to witness meltwater rhythms, sediment flows, avalanches, landslides, animal life and the seasonal impacts of weather and tourism entering the microphones, in real time. Elemental Foley by Lia Mazzari will be on show as a solo exhibition at Microscope Gallery in Dalston, London from 10 - 26 September 2026.

This series is an invitation to listen differently, stay present and let the music lead. Andrew Backhouse is an artist and radio geek based in North Yorkshire who has always loved radio and sees it as a place for exploration, not answers.

Introducing a special episode by Snezhana Reizen.

Antenna. The madness of the day...

Antenna is a series of works on transduction with the sole sound source taking place - radio waves. Here I was devoured by discontinuity and discharge inherent to the "miracle of the wireless. the omnipresence.. the overleaping of frontiers” - the radio, like it was marked by R. Arnheim.

This piece emerged in two phases: the first one can be called a transduction - a process of conveying potential energy from discharge into a signal. It was a spontaneous live radio-noise set recorded close to the closed shelter. This summer
I found myself stuck in between absence and presence in amplified senses,
confronting the avalanche of the noises erupting on us by this world, facing the chaos, “embracing alienation”, holding a degree of disbelief..
that this "disparity can be modulated”..

Yet, seeking the perceptual transmutation.

Biologists say there are two phases for the perception, so that after transduction of the signal, a transformation should take its place.
Following this logic, the second phase of this work appeared as an improvised procession with effects and filters - a real-time mix-ture, with slight subsequent recombinations.

If there's something one can call a ground for this piece, besides its sound source, it dwells upon a chance. It is a conversation with a present moment beyond the borders by a flying carpet of propagating radio waves.

"Antenna" was created drawing on ambisonic spatialisation with a mixed approach, so that some sounds move through in a chaotic manner, while the trajectories of others were meticulously calibrated. In doing so, I did not seek to determine the exact location or direction for each sound particle, but rather to underline the traces - their nomadic movements within the whole sphere of the revealed ensemble.

The poetry of Federico García Lorca beats like an ancient pulse moving through the earth and the human voice. In his verses live the music of the people, the mystery of the night, and an emotional intensity that turns words into vivid images. Lorca writes with blood, with moonlight, with silence; and from this fusion emerges a creative expressiveness that overflows the limits of language.

His poetry is not only read: it is heard, breathed, and felt like a deep echo of the human soul. In every metaphor a landscape vibrates, and in every rhythm there is an emotion inviting us to imagine and to listen to the invisible.
