A live broadcast from Hamburg featuring GAJEK, Jan Jelinek & Frank Bretschneider. Independent music productions were banned in the GDR in terms of production, distribution, and sales. However, countless groups such as Der Demokratische Konsum, Zwitschermaschine, Schleim-Keim, and Kein Talent defied these regulations imposed by the workers' and farmers' state. They took it upon themselves to play their (mostly homemade) instruments and recorded their compositions directly onto tape: unorthodox punk met lo-fi experimental rock, stumbling electronics met grinding pop constructions, conceptual minstrelsy met infernal noise.

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.
