Andy Backhouse presents a two hour show of new and unusual music and sounds - playing everything from Free Jazz to Field Recordings. This is an open-format show with a difference.

A nine-part retrospective of the first five seasons of the Radia network’s epochal (and on-going) radio art series. Assembled by Lee Stapleford.

This month we spend two hours with two artists – Rita Says, who with her Orchestra revives and reclaims 20th century experimental classics in the spirit of their modern punk equivalents; and Reuben Kyriakides, elusive composer-producer whose diverse portfolio includes dance scores, hip-hop, alternatively tuned piano, and at least one sound installation about Billy Elliot.

Colliding Lines present live sessions, cross-genre collaborations and left-field recordings drawn from the London, UK and international experimental scenes; a long-form love letter to recorded audio as soundtrack, as sound art and as storyteller.

For this Dronica show, Robin The Fog created an experimental noise mix.

Robin The Fog is a sound designer, radio producer, audio archivist, educator and occasional DJ based in London. His work falls under the broad term ‘Radiophonics’ and includes composition, sound installation, radio drama, field recording and documentary.

In this episode: magnetic currents pulse across the marshes as mysterious comets sweep across the sky. Glimpsed briefly before vanishing once more, they leave only cloud traces and a vague sense that the field in which we are still standing is now imperceptibly yet radically altered.

Littoral Transmissions meander through the sonic landscape of the River Lea from Stonebridge Lock to Leamouth. Recordings from the field converge with layers of sound to create an aural impression of the navigation.

To showcase the development of their new project Swan Song (working title), That Travis presents a series of live sessions in Resonance Extra's studios. As part of their practical research, they share music that has influenced the project, perform live and invite guests to share their work.

In this third broadcast they invited Scottish artist Magnus Westwell – who works with movement and music – to perform live.

That Travis is a singer-songwriter originally from Hong Kong. Their background is a mixture of a colonial English education and an indigenous upbringing. While the two worlds fight for representation within their work, they exhibit an organic mixture of all influences primarily with their voice, sonic expressions, lyrics and visual aids.

From 1984 until 1992 five National Garden Festivals were held in the UK. One of them was in Gateshead in the North East of England in 1990. It lasted 157 days across that summer and received over three million visitors.

The Garden Festivals were the idea of UK Conservative environment secretary Michael Heseltine in 1980. They were based on the German post-war Bundesgartenschau concept for reclaiming large areas of derelict land in cities.

All the festivals were held in designated areas — reclaimed land that had become derelict and poisonous in the wake of industrial decline. Other festivals were held in Liverpool, Stoke and Glasgow. They each cost between £25 — £70 million.

Michael McHugh is joined by artists and mytho-geosonic experts Tim Shaw and John Bowers for an exhaustive journey along the River Team and through the landscape and footpaths of the former festival on the eve of this years vernal equinox.

It's very different to how it was in 1990 and if you look closely, in amongst the empty bottles of white cider, 30 years of lager cans, discarded laptops, torn suitcases, condoms and nitrous oxide bulbs you’ll find remnants of the festival’s sculptures, landscaping and foundations.

It's an eerie interzone and that makes the aspiration and ambition of the 1990 festival feel somewhat unreal.

The Tyneside Sounds Society is a monthly broadcast dedicated to the recording and reinterpretation of the sonic environment and sound heritage of Tyneside in the North East of England.

This episode of Out From Under is focused on Sydney label 3BS Records, originally created by Blue Mountains-based musician Jonathan Pizzay as an outlet for his Mannheim Rocket and Klangberg projects, but subsequently growing into a home for other artists sharing a vision and respect for experimental techno, ambient exploration, dystopian noise and low-end sonics. Featured artists included Broken Chip, Borrowed CS, Simon Unwin AKA Hence Therefore, Extreme Misanthropy Crew.

This episode of Third Space features sonic explorations of Brussels and Manchester, with field recordings and local music curated and compiled by Adriaan de Roover and Hayley Suviste. In the first hour, Adriaan walks us through the Belgian capital via found sounds and music.

In a novel take on the Third Space format, the musical elements of Adriaan's mix have been drawn from a single artist - Brussels hip hop collective, STIKSTOF - whose work he has sampled and stretched into beautiful ambient pieces.

The second half of the show sees Hayley Suviste weave an assortment of standout tracks from Manchester's kinetic electronic music scene through a tapestry of sonic portraits documenting the city's ever-changing landscapes - from its near-wild edgelands to the heart of its inner-city development projects.

Each month, First Light Records invites two artists to take an unplanned journey with a microphone around their city to curate an hour-long mix. Each show captures the unique atmosphere of a city from each artist's perspective, through music and found sound.
