Resonance Extra radio pals Littoral Transmissions also share sessions recorded with absurdist poet James Worse.

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.

Team Valley is an industrial estate in Gateshead, Tyne & Wear, England. It's home to nearly 700 companies and roughly 20,000 people working there. It was built in the 1930s and is laid out in a grid, with street names like Kingsway, Queensway and numbered avenues.

It lies in a valley with the River Team at it's centre and is bordered by the East Coast train mainline to the east and the A1 motorway to the west. In the centre of the estate is a wood called '£20 Close' - it is home to lots of endangered birds, a diverse mix of flora and fauna and some very old trees, it predates the current industrial estate by at least 200 years. It's what is called Ancient Woodland.

This month we are joined by Newcastle based researcher, artist, filmmaker and photographer Michelle Allan. Michelle came across the wood 4 years ago and as a result of her research the wood received wildlife conservation status. She traced the wood existenceback to at least the 1700s. For the last year she has been intensively filming, photographing, recording and documenting the wood.

We recorded a brilliant dawn chorus on the Summer Solstice this year and this forms the backbone of this month's show.

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.

Curator, musician and sound artist Lawrence English founded his Room 40 label over fifteen years ago, and in the intervening years has nurtured over 150 releases in a roster that includes David Toop, Tim Hecker and Grouper and Australian figures such as Oren Ambarchi, Chris Abrahams and Ben Frost. In a wide-ranging interview, he talks about his long-standing relationship with the city of Brisbane, his deep commitment to opening the doors to seemingly inaccessible music, and the ways in which he considers our complex and evolving relationship with sound and listening.

Tonight's extract from the 2022 edition of the festival features the following artists and broadcasts:

The Concrete Acid Echo Tapes by Luke Pendrell (02:00 - 02:30am GMT)

"The Concrete Acid Echo Tapes (Dr Raypower vs. His Majesties Ludd Púca) by Dr. Raypower from Live at the Broadmarsh Shopping Centre Christmas ’92, produced by Ludd Púca. The Concrete acid echo tapes resurface buried signals, emitted by spectres now cast out. The brutal dance echoes like sonic plattenbau. Undergirds the Real with a fluid solvent."

Earthloops by Tom Scott (02:30 - 3:00am GMT)

"This work is composed of analogue material recorded in the early 80’s reimagined with recent field recordings in 2021. The work maintains the presence of looped tape material and field recordings are processed via spectral filters until eventually only the spectural shifts are present. It explores the relationships between the movements of the environmental sounds and the materiality of the processed audio.

How do you listen? Position yourself in stillness."

Solar Radio by Absolute Value of Noise and Anna Friz (3:00 - 5:00am GMT)

"Absolute Value of Noise and Anna Friz are collaborating to produce a new outdoor sound installation for Wavefarm (located in Acra NY) in 2022. The piece centers around an automated radio station that is powered by the sun. It responds to its environment and the state of the sun by playing with simple AI sound synthesis algorithms – imitating the sounds of insects, birds, frogs, the wind moving through the trees, rain falling, magnetic phenomena and various waves.

This radio piece mixes the synthetic sounds of the AI with radiophonic sounds and field recordings – featuring on-site recordings made on the land at Wavefarm. Anna Friz and Absolute Value of Noise (Peter Courtemanche) are Canadian sound and radio artists. Anna Friz creates self-reflexive radio for broadcast, installation and performance. Her compositions reflect upon public media culture, ecology and infrastructure (human and extra-human, acoustic, and electro-magnetic), time perception, and various fictions. Absolute Value of Noise creates radio and outdoor installations.

He likes to work with “gadgetry” – custom turntables, lamp filaments, wire coils, high voltage ionizers, magnetic transceivers, and “little electronic brains” that observe and respond to local phenomena. His outdoor works are a comment on bio-diversity, extinction, and fragility."

Thinning of The Veil by Helena Celle (5:00 - 6:00am GMT)

"Helena Celle is a Glaswegian artist and audio engineer. She is concerned with the participatory representation of the imaginal through the organisation of sound, image and language, and currently produces an hour (or more) of original work for patrons every month. She plays guitar in the band Herbert Powell (Lost Map Records), and previously played bass guitar in the band Anxiety (La Vida Es Un Mus Records)."
