Maximum Rocknroll Radio is a weekly radio show and podcast featuring DIY punk, garage rock, hardcore, and more from around the world. A rotating cast of DJs pick the best of the best from MRR's astounding, ever-growing vinyl archive. You can find MRR Radio archives, specials and more on their website.

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.

Crepuscule by Gregory Barsamian and Kurt Hentschlager. With original spoken word contribution by Sharon M. Vansluijs. Sleep tape excerpts by Dr William Chambers

dREM is a curatorial project by Allegra Shorto to explore and expand the relationship between art and dream. Each episode is a soundscape lasting the duration of an REM sleep cycle, roughly 90 minutes, to be slept through. Artists are invited to fill this time as they imagine it. The sounds may be incorporated into the narrative of the dream, alter its content or partially wake listeners, making them aware that they are dreaming. Mimicking the cyclical stages of the sleeping mind, the resulting soundscapes flit from silence to resounding repetition, perhaps causing dream ripples. Participants include artists Gregory Barsamian, Lee Berwick, Delia Gonzalez, Dr Keith Hearne, Kurt Hentschlager, Jacob Kierkegaard, Robert Rich and Chu-Li Shewring.

In this broadcast, an environmental freeform location performance improvisation recorded from 5:45am on 10/10/18 in strong gusting winds. Using gathered stone fragments from the Valley of Rocks nearby as sounding tools to interrogate objects and surfaces, this work explores a personal encounter with the physical environment in the Devonshire town of Lynton. Found sound objects and surfaces include various metal railings, scaffolding with plastic, walls, wooden seat, wall nails and pavement drain covers. Contains strong ear wind noise as part of the composition.

Recorded in real time in a single take by dallas simpson. Please use headphones for a 3-D surround sound experience.

Dallas Simpson has worked since the 1990s as an environmental location performance sound artist improvising live on location, listening and performing with found objects and surfaces. Works are usually recorded live on location in a single take using custom in-ear binaural techniques. These 3-D perceptual recordings are ideally heard through headphones for a full surround sound experience.

Mateo Amaral is a multidisciplinary artist who develops his work using techniques such as drawing and painting, three-dimensional digital animation, distortion of video through software errors, exploration of audiovisual noise and production of electronic music.

His research leads him to experiment with hypnotic audiovisual landscapes, drawing parallels between primitive digital aesthetics and the individual construction of the reality model. All his work revolves around "Una piedra negra", an expanded feature film project that produces short films, paintings, installations, virtual reality pieces and live audiovisual performances.

In 2016, he was the winner of the first Virtual Reality award within the ITAU prize for visual arts. In addition to his individual work, he formed the artistic collective Oligatega with which in 2003 he was a scholar in the program of workshops dictated by Guillermo Kuitca and participated in the work clinics of Diana Aisemberg.

His work was exhibited at the Cultural Center of Belgrade (Serbia), Museum of Modern Art of Buenos Aires, at the festivals ArtFutura, Mutek, Sonar, Robot and Trimarchi, at Artists' Television Access (San Francisco, USA), Museum of Contemporary Art of Castilla y León (Spain), Art Basel (Switzerland) and the Experimentation Center of the Teatro Colón (Buenos Aires).
