Radio Art Zone # Mariola Brillowska: Polnische Hochzeit, eine unendliche Reise ▾
On her never-ending train ride, Mariola Brillowska is constantly on the phone with the jury of the "Polish Wedding" competition she initiated. This is to take place in a Polish mountain resort near the Czech border. During the interminable journey, the weddings submitted to the competition are watched online as video films and judged.
The jury exchanges views about their own weddings, marriages, divorces. It plans the closing ceremony of the competition. Whether the initiator will arrive sometime and somewhere, whether she herself will even give her yes word to someone, and above all whether one or perhaps several couples will get married at all, depends on the constantly unpredictable changing itinerary.
To all appearances, the train's conductor is a ghost driver. Those who get on or off ahead of time and want to visit the wedding and guest house on their own can tour it online as a preview.
Voices: Mariola Brillowska, Günter Reznicek, Gloria Brillowska, Ludger Dünnebacke, Bela Brillowska, Felix Kubin, Claudia Basrawi.
Compositions: Mariola Brillowska, Günter Reznicek, Bela Brillowska, Felix Kubin, Richard von der Schulenburg, Jürgen Hall, Felix Mendelsohn Bartholdy.

I Want to Eat the Earth: A Sonic Almanac From the New School of the Anthropocene # March Equinox ▾
This episode is created for the March equinox, a time when northern and southern hemispheres experience equal amounts of dark and light, night and day, before tipping towards or away from the sun. The piece is curated and produced by Stephen Shiell and composed using original and borrowed material from NSOTA scholars.
With contributions from Stephen Shiell, Hannah White, David Lea, Chris de Sel, Sk.ye, Venetia Allen, Rhona Eve Clews, Pascal Sleigh, Naomi ZP, Simon McClelland Morris, Michelle Watson, Tommy Calderbank, Blanc Sceol
The New School of the Anthropocene is a radical experiment in alternative education, away from marketisation and arcane specialism towards co-sensing systems change through creative practice. This is an ecological transmission of DIY ethics, non-hierarchical structures, radical networks, interconnected sensing through sound, text, voice, spoken word, human and more-than-human collaborative practice, patchwork group thinking, and radio art.

Radia #1097 - mILLième ▾
This episode is a contribution by Duuu Radio.
Duuu Radio presents a compilation of tracks from the album “mILLième” (2025). With mILLième, the artist duo Cécile Tonizzo and Nicolas Couturier set out to explore, over a stretch of 217 meters – one-thousandth of the length of the Ill River (Alsace, France) – a fragment of landscape, blending performance, sound design, and graphic art.
In July 2025, a temporary collective was formed for five days with Cyril Magnier, Manuel Zenner, Curtis Coco, and Aquila Lescene. The group built a floating platform, created sound-recording instruments, and printed a series of t-shirts using elements from the Ill. They recorded a collection of sounds, discussions, and musical improvisations for this stretch of the river, with the aim of producing this sound edition.
Produced by the CEAAC, in collaboration with the CSC du Marais in Schiltigheim. The project is part of the “l’Ill – Une collaboration avec la rivière ” initiative between the CRAC Alsace in Altkirch, La Kunsthalle Mulhouse, and the CEAAC in Strasbourg, a collaborative project made possible through the “Mieux produire, mieux diffuser” program established by the Ministry of Culture – Drac Grand Est and supported by the Grand Est Region.
Special thanks to Zoé Colombani and Charlotte Raimbault.
Compilation tracklist : Merle Jam – Est-ce que la rivière a changée ? – Milles rivières – Mise à l’eau – Sillure.

Dallas Simpson #2 - Sneinton Market Friday Night ▾
This broadcast is an environmental soundscape documentary of the Sneinton Market (Nottingham) Friday Night event from 05/10/18. It took place in the paved Sneinton Market area, with water fountains and structural features, where veggie and eco friendly stalls set up, skateboarders freestyle and bands turn up and play through a lo-fi PA system.
Musicians included Eagle from Punk4theHomeless. Observed as a series of walkabouts in and around the outdoor venue and from static listening perspectives, the recording captures the event in real time attended by a small but enthusiastic audience. Recorded by dallas simpson in binaural 3-D surround sound for headphones.
Dallas Simpson has worked since the 1990s as an environmental location performance sound artist improvising live on location, listening and performing with found objects and surfaces. Works are usually recorded live on location in a single take using custom in-ear binaural techniques. These 3-D perceptual recordings are ideally heard through headphones for a full surround sound experience.

LCC Sound Arts # Lament for the Old Clock by Harvey Young ▾
Lament for the Old Clock by Harvey Young tells the story of an 18th-century agricultural worker plunged into the vicious new frontier of industrial capitalism who must leave his simple agrarian existence behind and submit to the callous and dehumanising demands of the factory floor.
The piece documents the change in temporality from the feudal notion of cyclical, reverential time to the concept of future-oriented progress that defined the beginning of the industrial revolution. Through extended vocal techniques, found instruments and granulation, Lament for the Old Clock explores this transient yet profound period of temporal and spiritual upheaval.
Harvey Young is a composer, sound artist and writer whose practice centres on temporality, psychogeography and transient structures of political economy. He uses extended vocal techniques, field recordings and found instruments to create acousmatic and electroacoustic works.

Elemental Foley ▾
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.

tekhnē #12 - Pedro Oliveira ▾
This twelfth episode features an interview with Brazilian sound artist and sound studies scholar Pedro Oliveira, who is based in Berlin. Oliveira works at the intersection of decolonial and sonic thought. During his tekhnē residency at TRAFO, he further developed his ongoing research on borders, migration, and bodies, expanding a long-term project that brings these themes together.
The interview was recorded in Szczecin following Oliveira's performative lecture marking the conclusion of his residency. Conducted by Piotr Tkacz, editor of the Glissando quarterly, the conversation explores the relationship between Oliveira's artistic practice and art-as-research, the evolution of his creative work, and the ways in which sonic technologies intersect with contemporary border regimes and migration policies.
This episode also includes excerpts from several of Oliveira's sound works, including DESMONTE (with Fernanda Lira), a live performance with Mauricio Takara at the AdK Berlin in 2023, and an unreleased experiment from Dubwise Machine Listening.
Bi-monthly insights into the activities of the European project tekhnē, which started in 2023. The series showcases a selection of artists who share and discuss their work and listen to recorded material. By putting the focus on the user rather than the developer, this project aims to explore the emancipatory potential of technology in music and sound art. Technology as an art of craft, appropriating and transforming existing tools, to imagine multiple ways of creative misuse. tekhnē is a collaborative project, co-funded by the European Union.

Merrie Melodias #3 - Anti-discoteque ▾
This episode focuses on the rare experimental and deviant music that can conceptually be called the "dancefloor destroyer". Its narrative unfolds from early electronic, synthesizer and computer music and we discover that the only Soviet major label without any censorship boldly released music in the genres of EBM and no-wave, sympho-prog, acid-opera and even “post-pop”.
This episode is less about the music of all the countries of the Soviet Union – only focusing on Estonia, Latvia and Russia – but is rather my personal poetic statement, representing the diversity of Soviet experimental music in the late 80s and early 90s. This music sounds extremely modern right now. I chose the neo-romantic twist of Nochnoy Prospeckt's Antidisco Song as the main motif of the release, which opens and closes the show.
Uzbekistan-based DJ and boss of the experimental TOPOT label Eugenie Galochkin presents rare vinyl rips from the Soviet Melodia label. Melodia has released music from all around the world: from obscure Baltic electronica and free jazz from Siberia; to synth-pop from Tajikistan and academic avant-garde from Ukraine. The series will explore how national and cultural characteristics are embedded in musical language.
