tekhnē #2 - Concepción Huerta & Fe Sexta ▾
In this episode, Concepción Huerta and Fe Sexta share a wide range of music, recordings, and sounds that influenced them on their journey towards mapping relationships between personal and collective memory across regions of South America, which resulted in the commissioned work MAPS : Electronic Resonances Between Ecuador and Mexico premiered this year at CTM Festival.
MAPS aimed to revive audio archives of pioneering electronic music composers in Mexico and Ecuador, active in the 1970s.
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.

NAUS #2 ▾
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 Tom Hirst, Elif Yalvac, & Mohammed Rowe. 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.

walkplacedistancetime #48 - Chance Encounters on Contención Island (Set 1) ▾
On each of the 42 days of the first Covid-19 lockdown we walked the streets around our home. Recording, tracing, re-tracing, our steps slowly marked the limits of our permitted walking, our contained walking, an act of walking that drew a boundary, an edge that I came to see as the shoreline of an island, an imagined island, an island of containment; I named it Contención Island.
From daily field recordings I use random procedures to pick days and durations to build 60-minute sets of chance encounters across the 42 days, encounters that are shorter or longer, that move forward and back through time, that reflect the sense of strangeness of those days.
You can listen to the complete recordings and read the daily mesostics in full at martinpeccles.com

I want to dedicate this show to the anniversary of the Melodiya label – it turns 60 years old on the 23rd of April 2024. And the best thing is that the label is still releasing music.
