Patrick and his guests walk from Exchange Square behind Liverpool Street Station – where Austerlitz first arrives to London on the Kindertransport – to Brick Lane where Stephen reads a poem dedicated to Altab Ali and Bill Fishman. From there they continue to Alderney Road – where Austerlitz lives in the novel and also home to the oldest Ashkenazi Jewish cemetery in the UK – and finally arrive at Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park behind St. Clement's Hospital where Sebald's character spends a long period of recovery.

In this extended programme Patrick Bernard follows in the footsteps of W. G. Sebald and his eponymous character Austerlitz as he explores the East End of London with poet Stephen Watts (a friend of 'Max' Sebald who accompanied him on many of his walks). They are joined by Nadia Valman and David Anderson from Queen Mary University of London as they visit many of the locations in the novel to uncover the layers of history hidden beneath the surface of the city and Sebald's text.

Here they present a recording of ‘Gaddafi in Hythe’ live at Glasgow's Centre for Contemporary Arts, for Radiophrenia, 2017.

60 minutes of vivid aural excitement mixed by Ian Murphy.

The compilation brings together new and recent projects by composers Olivia Block (US), Cassandra Miller (CA/UK) and Andrew Hamilton (IE/UK), with Sheen’s eponymous Croon Harvest (2021–ongoing) as a central starting point.

The programme explores music in a situated and embodied state, floating on noise and quiet sounds, peeling off from the brink of silence towards a good old sing-along. In each work, the voice occupies a different space in relation to other sounds, the body, technology, or notions of memory and tradition.

The project is part of Musarc’s work with contemporary composers and the ensemble’s commitment to new music – brittle and radical, in need of projection as well as protection and advocacy. The choir was joined by musicians from the Royal College of Music and Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music & Dance.

Instrumentalists: Cara Houghton (flute), Rowan Jones (clarinet), Michelle Hromin (bass clarinet), Andrew Hamilton (viola), Andrew Liddell (viola), Rebecca Burden (cello), Steve Potter (piano).

Sound engineering and mastering by Julian Sander.

Recorded in Resonance Extra's studios on 30th April 2022, Croon Harvest is a constellation of four experimental choral works curated by Jack Sheen for Musarc.

Mirror Transmission is a long form work basing itself on extensive repetition of small musical fragments derived from piano recordings and sine waves.

It is designed for meditative or attentive listening and explores a number of sonic polarities over the course of its duration, including the stereo field, temporal constructs, dynamics and harmonic symmetry.

Daniel W J Mackenzie produces work that explores various notions of listening to music and sound, combining composition, improvisation, non-musical sound and field recordings. Despite a broad range of tools and processes, there are consistencies in the nuances with which the work is constructed and presented, and the substantial presence of deep emotion and atmosphere.

As a sound artist he has been presented internationally, working with sound sculpture, multichannel sound, sound collage and conceptual visual art, in installations and exhibitions that refine the approaches towards noise, quietude and melody that define his released music.
