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)."
