A selection of new experimental music and sound work from the international underground network Unexplained Sounds, curated by Raffaele Pezzella (Sonologyst).

A retrospective of the Radia network’s epochal (and on-going) radio art series.

This final episode in our first series examines the practice of listening. It features interviews with the Swiss artist and academic Salomé Voegelin and the Canadian composer Hildegard Westerkamp.

Salomé reflects on the last 10 years within sound studies, and the development of her thinking and practices of listening and sound making over this time.

Hildegard takes us back to the very early years of soundscape awareness, discussion and analysis. Beginning with her work with Murray Schafer in Vancouver in the early 1970s, she reflects on her profound and multifaceted journeys into listening, composition and soundwalking.

The Field Recording Show is a programme exploring the soundscape, recording, listening and composing hosted by Kate Carr and Luca Nasciuti.

Communiques from Thanet Tape Centre, Hard drive sludge. audio tidal pools. Music sediment. Friends utterances, sea walls of noise, salt marsh drone.

Virgilio Oliveira explores the sonic environment in collaboration with Porto's Radio Manabras, presenting an hour of sound art and field recordings.

Barkumdeer, a new collaboration between violist Jenny Ames & percussionist Louis Giannamore (who plays the drums for Kinn) join Kinn to form Barkinndeer.

Together they have created 50 minutes of original music formed from edits, alternative & extended versions of their music. For fans of Black Metal, György Ligeti & depressing black and white European films.

Included within the mix are 2 premiers from Barkumdeer's forthcoming debut album, slated for a release on First Light Records in the future.

Closing off the final moments of the show is new music from ALL HANDS_MAKE LIGHT & Laila Sakini.

Channelling an array of fervent interests in many genres through different mediums (Film, Music, Sound Art and more), Kinn - the brooding-electronics project of London based artist Freddy Lomas - and his guests use original soundscapes and compositions to weave together an original concept for each month's show.

In this episde, Sonic Darts goes on a deep dive into the Swansea-based multidisciplinary series NAWR (meaning “now" in Welsh), a festival that bridges the gap between experimental free jazz, sound art and alternative folk.

On the show, we play live recordings from Sarah Angliss alongside Stephen Hiscock and Sarah Gabriel, as well as live improvisation from their first show featuring Rose Linn-Pearl, Dan Linn-Pearl, Rhodri Davies and Christian Kobi.

Gwaith Swn's Sonic Darts is a London-based sound art collective presenting new sound works, performances and discussions.

"Women are the optimal labour force because they are now being universally defined as ‘housewives’, not as workers; this means their work, whether in use value or commodity production, is obscured, does not appear as ‘free wage-labour’, is defined as an ‘income-generating activity’, and can hence be bought at a much cheaper price than male labour."

This is a playlist dedicated to Maria Mies's Patriarchy and Accumulation on a World Scale. This book (first published in 1986) offers a history of the related processes of colonisation and 'housewifization' and extends this analysis to the contemporary new international division of labour.

Mitamine Lab is a culture laboratory based in Mexico City which blends sound archives with contemporary music and literature.

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 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.

Recording from a recent surfacing of SEA MANTIS at Evening 23 of Levente Dudas' Konsztukting Soundz Season 2 at the Fisherman's Chapel, Leigh on Sea, combined with recordings from a walk along the Essex estuary.

SEA MANTIS is a semi-mythical, many tentacled aquatic being with a seeming tendency to emerge in the combined company of Ed Shipsey, Andrew Ciccone, Adam Kinsey and Stephan Barrett; four active members of London's free improvisation and experimental music scene.

First surfacing in 2019, occasional sightings have since been reported at various live music settings around East London, alongside sporadic radio transmogrifications on Radiophrenia and Littoral Transmissions' Resonance Extra show. Having now been seen outside its usual habitat, rumour has it that the MANTIS may surface once again, in other unforeseen locations.

Thank you Levente for a beautiful evening.

Littoral Transmissions meander through the sonic landscape of the River Lea from Stonebridge Lock to Leamouth. Recordings from the field converge with layers of sound to create an aural impression of the navigation.

Offering surreal glimpses of what might be identified as echoes of a post-Republic America, an imagined Middle East, and some other unnamed and unreachable world, Palace chronicles a vivid landscape of crumbling towers and heart-broken animals, eclipses, comets, and lovers in abandoned rooms. Produced by Dominic J. Jaeckle and Milo Thesiger–Meacham.

Kyra Simone is a writer from Los Angeles, now based in Brooklyn. Her fiction and poetry have appeared in a variety of literary journals, including The Baffler, The Brooklyn Rail, BOMB, Conjunctions, Fence, The Anthology of Best American Experimental Writing, and elsewhere. She is a member of the publishing collective Ugly Duckling Presse, and part of a two-woman team running the editorial office of Zone Books.

"From the stuff we unfold in the morning and throw in the recycling bin at night, Simone coaxes the rhythms of cyclical life, that baseline on which extraordinary events and crises exert their pressure. The world she constructs is recognisable, textured, gently humorous—but also luminously, piercingly exact, possessed of the strangeness of seeing something for the first or the last time".

— Alexandra Kleeman, author of Something New Under the Sun.

"I was hooked by the very first sentence of Kyra Simone’s Palace of Rubble: ‘A breaking wave collapses on the bank before two half-naked women on white Arabian horses.’ The sentence is so precise, down to the use of the erotic “collapses.” Plunged into this direct, clear, and mysterious arrangement of words, I was always left wondering what will happen next. Where will the next sentence take me? I was never disappointed. Simone is able to maintain and shift that propulsive curiosity throughout the book. While dancing with us, each sentence is a journey. Each story is a multi-faceted gem—a ‘beguiling dream of eternal cinema".

— John Yau, author of Genghis Chan on Drums.

"Majestic flights of fancy spun around ravaged landscapes and savage realities, these are remarkable prose poems for the 21st century".

— Chloe Aridjis, author of Sea Monsters.

"Reading Simone’s work is reminiscent of an archaeological excavation. The writing has dug to the past and emerged in the future, passing on its way those civilisations, kingdoms and palaces long since blown away or buried, it is covered in their dust. I can’t help but think, isn’t this madness? Isn’t life beautiful".

— Vanessa Onwuemezi, author of Dark Neighbourhood.

Temporary Palaces is a special triplicate of hour-long broadcasts that serialises an unabridged rendition of Kyra Simone's debut collection, Palace of Rubble (Tenement Press, 2022). Initially inspired by a photograph of one of Saddam Hussein’s demolished palaces, Simone’s Palace of Rubble is a collection of one-page stories composed primarily of single words culled each day from the front pages of the newspaper.
