In this episode Eric from the Mitamine Lab team talks about an article that recently caught our eye—of course, since we're great fans of cats! During the show we look at extracts from Chris Heath's article in The Atlantic entitled "The Richest Cat in the World: Did Karl Lagerfeld really leave millions to his blue-cream Birman, Choupette?"

In connection with the tale of fashion's most well-known feline heir, we are pleased to present a carefully selected collection of music together with our regular feature of new promos sent directly to Mitamine Lab, as well as a few other tracks that we recently came across. As ever, we would like to extend our biggest thanks to all the artists and labels who continue to send us their music!

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 is 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.

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. His work explores listening as a social, ecological and political act, engaging sound as a way of understanding place, environment and human presence.

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.

Members of Radia, the international group of independent cultural radio stations, explore new and forgotten ways of making radio.

The first Atmospheric Densities show in six months, and of course that means there is a lot to listen to! We go deep with Cody Yantis' new album Opticks, a meditation on the landscape of America's Southwest made from two field recordings and one synthesiser.

We also dip into two release from the label late last year: Metal the energetic collaboration between Czech inventor and musician Petr Válek and improvisers Ondřej Merta and Jara Tarnovski, performed in part on Válek's metal sculptures. And Liz Helman's drone and field recording work The Colour of Water produced out of her daily ritual of walking in London.

I had a few things which came out late last year so I play a few pieces from these releases, namely: A Field Guide to Phantasmic Birds, and my ode to sauerkraut On cabbages, salt, bacteria and transformations.

And we close with the two pieces from Soundwalkscapes the forthcoming album from the legendary improviser Viv Corringham who has an album launch at Hundred Years Gallery on March 15th. Be there or miss out!

This is the Flaming Pines radio show featuring new releases, mixes and experiments in field recording, sound art and experimental music, hosted by Kate Carr and guests.
