Mapping the residual forms and remembered journeys synonymous with this once integral infrastructure, we trace the remnants of a space lost in time, we listen to the echos of a time that has faded into the surrounding undergrowth and in the process, we try to imagine a dynamic, shifting type of archive.

One of the former railway’s few remaining structures is Badger’s Oak Tunnel, hidden deep within the forest, this place has been slowly bonding with the rocks and plants that now occupy the rivets of this mostly forgotten railway line. We journeyed deep into this tunnel to record a series of musical compositions and field recordings that aimed to probe and chart the unique reverberations and resonances of the space.

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 episode, get ready to listen to the weirdest and most mind-blowing covers and drifts of Bitter Sweet Symphony. There's no order, no lists, only stilted and exclusive material.

Chip tuners, bardcore (or contemporary medieval stuff), Rolling Winds, karaoke stars, babies, brave bands from Mexico, copyright victims by copyright fanatics, cumbia - Britpop dancers,… all are welcome in Shuffle formula radio mode.

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).

This episode features João Polido, a Portuguese musician, composer, and lecturer who investigates cultural memory, tradition, sound technology, and the socio-political history of music. The title of this talk, “Spectral Lore of Tradition”, emerges from his observation that, as oral memory fades from contemporary life (paradoxically aided by recorded media), traditional music and folklore become suspended in a kind of temporal loop.

Shaped by structures of power in Portugal’s history - particularly during the military dictatorship and its aftermath - these forms reveal complex dynamics of aural remembrance, abstraction, and reference. Framing remembering and forgetting as intertwined acts, Polido explores spectral processes in audio as both remediation and a strategy in the face of the failure of recognition. As Nagel and Wood write in “Anachronic Renaissance”: “There was no ‘original’, in other words, until someone tried but failed to replicate it.

The original was the creature of the replica.” This talk was held as part of the programme of OUT.FEST’s 21st edition, at Casa da Cidadania Cabós Gonçalves in Barreiro, Portugal, on the 3rd of October of 2025. The podcast is bookended by the tracks “Contours” and “Prova de Existência” by Polido, taken from his 2024 album Hearing Smoke (Holuzam).

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.

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.

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

Injazero Records founder Siné Buyuka plays a selection of electronic, experimental, ambient and contemporary classical tracks.

As a guardian of the Slice, Stephen Shiell is exploring and understanding the site as both a public sculpture and a private environment that sits beyond the boundaries of the usual. These radio shows are recordings of live events, happenings to explore the tensions that exist between the public and private.

Curating the series around his own love for experimental electronics and improvisation is a way for me to bring communities into this setting, a chance to celebrate an underground London culture in a place that hasn’t been commercialised or capitalised, even though it lies in the heart of these very environments.

‘Naus’ refers to the Ancient Greek word for ship, and also recalls the word nausea, a ‘ship- sickness’, that reflects the artist’s feelings towards the neo-liberalist landscape surrounding the ship. The sounds created here are a form of electronic improvised noise resistance.

This episode features artists: Dushume, Tom Richards, and Laura Netz. Recorded live by Ian Thompson.

Stephen Shiell is a London-based sound artist, composer and improviser working across experimental music, radiophonic art and site-responsive process.

A show of improvised electronics recorded live on board A Slice of Reality – a vertical section of an ocean going sand dredger that stands on the foreshore of the Thames at North Greenwich in London, since its placement there 25 years ago. Originally conceived of as a sound bite of lost industry to mark the turning of a millennium, the realities the ship witnesses are now very different - the high octane leisure industries of the Millennium dome and the docks, and the global finance district at Canary Wharf.

This week: Joseph Stannard presents a generous earful of scintillating sound including tracks by Earthslayer, The Golden Corpse Of Midas, Allen Ravenstine and Ak'chamel.

New music with The Wire Magazine. Hosted by members of the magazine staff: Emily Bick, Chris Bohn, Phil England, Misha Faulty, James Gormley, Joseph Stannard, Lucy Thraves and Shane Woolman.

Between the 5th and 11th of November 2026, the ICRN presents live works at Le Guess Who? as part of Baltic Rehearsals. In this broadcast, Sign Libra & Robert Nikolajev:

Learning the basics of music theory and piano playing from an early age, Sign Libra developed a lasting curiosity for music. She creates songs with reverb-soaked vocals, layered melodies and rhythms, and carefully blended synth plugin presets. Through collaborations with other artists and the incorporation of acoustic instrumental sounds, she seeks to explore her interest in nature and its connection to human life.

A stalwart of the Estonian electronic music scene, Robert Nikolajev is known through multiple monikers and projects. Rather than being defined by genre, his music is characterized by its frenetic energy and a production approach rooted in hardware. Alongside a steady stream of releases, he has played a key role in shaping Estonia's club culture by creating club spaces, co-founding the net radio station IDA and bringing some of the best international talent to local audiences.

These two artists are performing together as part of Baltic Rehearsals, a residency project that supports the creation of new music from Vilnius, Riga and Tallinn. The project is initiated by COSMOS Embassy ICRN, together with radio stations Tīrkultūra and IDA.

The Independent Community Radio Network is a non-profit organisation and web radio network founded in 2022.
