60 minutes of vivid aural excitement mixed by Ian Murphy.

In summer 2023, George experienced a ruptured eardrum that made working with headphones or stereo sound temporarily impossible. So, when visiting Argyll in August, he decided to field record with equipment that could be monitored with one ear, or not at all.

All edits are 'in camera' and he deployed a wide range of extended micing techniques to change the quality of the audio. Starting on the ferry to Dunoon and ending at Glasgow Central Station, Argyll distills the whole three-day trip sequentially into one saturated object.

Argyll is a field recording sound object created by sound artist George Rayner-Law. It consists of recordings made directly to cassette in Argyll, Scotland.

In this episode, Afghan Dream by Julie Rousse:

"In 2013, on the invitation of my friend, photograph reporter in Afghanistan, I went to Kabul to record the sounds that would accompany her book Afghan Dream, which shows the life of the modern middle-class Afghanis who have developed since the Taliban's fall and with the beginning of the United-States occupation. Another Afghanistan, far from the war clichés. Yet war is everywhere, inevitable, visible, audible.
We have driven and walked through the city of Kabul and she showed me the city she has lived in for more than 10 years with her heart, attached to the people, in the company of her fixer, like an uncle to her. Here comes one of the many series that could come out of the massive amount of recordings I have from this trip. It begins with a Sunday morning on a hill: People of Kabul (hills, streets, kids & kites)."

I am Julie Rousse, a passionate phonographer and composer. I have walked through many places of the world looking for sounds, but not only. I love the way life unfolds in so many ways, in the human kind as in the other animal, vegetal and mineral kind. In the end we are all star dust, and we crave for sharing our experiences of life. For me it is through sound, straight from from the ears to the heart.

Stéphane Marin presents a weekly series of short soundscapes recorded in the mornings at various locations throughout Central Asia. Entitled Central Asia PhoNographic Mornings this series for Resonance Extra forms part of a wider project, Each Morning of the World, which invites sound artists, composers and recordists globally to share their own specific point of listening, either through a raw field recording or original composition.

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.

Commissioned new work from contemporary sound practitioners and other audio choices from experimental electronic collective The Spirit of Gravity.

This episode is created for the June solstice, a time of long light hours in the north, and long darkness in the south, the extremes of day and night enacting their own rhythms and textures on those who inhabit the earth. The piece is curated and produced by Stephen Shiell and composed using original material from From the New School of the Anthropocene scholars.

With contributions from Stephen Shiell, Simon McClelland Morris, Chris de Sel, Clare Whistler, Rhona Eve Clews, Pascal Sleigh, Miles Irvin, Abi Andrews, Michael Timmerman, Cole Pemberton, & Hannah White.

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.
