Mark Vernon explores concepts of audio archaeology, magnetic memory and nostalgia through his sound works. At the core of his practice lies a fascination with the intimacy of the radio voice, environmental sound, obsolete media and the reappropriation of found recordings.

A rich collection of domestic tape recordings; audio letters, dictated notes, answer-phone messages and other lost voices often find their way into his unorthodox soundworlds. These diverse elements are distilled into radiophonic compositions for broadcast, multi-channel diffusion, fixed media and live performances. A keen advocate of radio as an art form, he co-runs and curates Glasgow’s art radio station, Radiophrenia.

Works for radio by Mark Vernon and friends, comprising The Tonic Garden - A Sonic Survey Of Soothing Sounds; Audiology for Beginners; The Eldwitch Transmissions (with Barry Burns); Continue Without Losing Consciousness; and Vernon & Burns Hour.

This episode showcases Argentinean duo Whisky. María Pérez and Macarena Fuentes decided to join forces in an experimental project where the music triggers other artistic experiences. Inspired by viral videos and absurd regional beliefs, they make their songs with synthesisers and voiced subliminal messages.

The music breeds a desire of contemplation and the videos, a desire of dance. Between rhythm and noise, take a sip of this experience.
