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.

"With the apocalyptic vision of Ballard and the acerbic attitude of Céline, MUEUM scatters human detritus over the shiny Perspex of our most dearly loved vitrines." – Chris McCabe

"A showcase, ransacked with horrid delight: Fowler's MUEUM presents the placid, lurid violences of surveillance and exhibition with startling and brutal stylishness. A seething triumph." – Eley Williams

A novella of ludic menace, a puzzle without pieces, SJ Fowler’s MUEUM pictures the amassing and dismantling of a public edifice, brick by brick, in prose that refracts and breaks the light emitted by history’s ornaments and history’s omissions. Suspended in unknowable time there is a city; in the city, an event, a conflict. Amid the ash, fog and cloud, there is the manufacturing of a space—a many-winged museum on the make.

On the plinths, exquisite remnants of life present and past—adorning the walls, portraits of gentle torture sit hand in hand with brutal and statuesque portrayals of camaraderie—and the gift-shop is littered with plastic curios and gilt revulsion. Goya, as atmosphere rather than artwork, hovers amid iron age ghosts, bronzed ideas, and antiqued anxiety.

Pacing the hall, atrium and corridor, there are those who keep the museum—the various midwives to the building’s demands—and those, like the reader, who merely visit; those who pass through the vacant galleries adrift with questions. What can I touch? What is next to Egypt? What is hidden in Mesopotamia? Where do we eat? Drink? Where is the entrance? The exit? Following the tradition of the Nestbeschmutzer authors (“one who dirties their own nest,” vis-à-vis Bernhard and Gombrowicz, et al), in Fowler’s curt, spiralling, and acute work, the museum’s keepers will answer.

A four-part, unabridged broadcast of SJ Fowler’s debut novella, MUEUM — as read by the author — recorded on location in Resonance Extra's South London studios. Produced by Dominic Jaeckle and Milo Thesiger-Meacham.

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.

Welcome to walkplacedistancetime.

Walking, movement in place, in air, distance through time.

Today’s episode is Kittiwake Triptych No. 1: Cullernose.

This is the third of a triptych of recordings of my walking to “the same place” – a Kittiwake colony – twenty minutes sitting at the place and my walking away back to my starting point. The three “same places” are one in rural Newfoundland and two in rural Northumberland. At each site, on another day, or at a different time of the same day, each recording would have been different.

Three thoughts in relation to an upcoming performance.

Communiques from Thanet Tape Centre, Hard drive sludge. audio tidal pools. Music sediment. Friends utterances, sea walls of noise, salt marsh drone.

All friction, all tension in this episode with Erika Elizabeth.

A unique audio drama series created by writer/director Neil Cargill and musician/sound designer Simon James featuring an original electronic music score and full cast including Ian McDiarmid, famed for his role as Emperor Palpatine in the Star Wars saga, as Cuttings – the radio ham who picks up a mysterious voice. The voice belongs to a girl (Joy McAvoy, from Ken Loach's The Angels' Share, and Filth) trapped in an abandoned amusement park called Akiha Den Den. Singer Wendy Rae Fowler (featured vocalist with bands such as Queens Of The Stone Age) lends her distinctive Alabama tones to the multi-layered soundscape as it becomes clear there's a whole community there, whose words and music become woven into a mesmerising plea for help. Everything becomes highly charged when one of the trapped inhabitants finds a way into our world – where his impact on us could be as devastating and far-reaching as an unknown, unseen virus.

This episode features music made by Naviar’s community inspired by Jim Young’s poem “the fall / of memory / leaves”.

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.

On this second night, live performances from Silent Green by Limpe Fuchs and Alexandra Cárdenas; and by Das Kinn and Ya Tosiba at Panke Culture.

Full lineup:

• Limpe Fuchs

Percussionist, sound-sculpture builder and pioneer sonic explorer from rural Bavaria, Limpe Fuchs' ongoing legacy expands over 6 decades. She uses her large scale self-built instruments made of metal, wood, and stone, as well as the viola and the voice creating a tapestry of sound.

• Alexandra Cárdenas

Colombian composer Alexandra Cárdenas is best known for her performances with live coding, though she has composed contemporary pieces for a variety of musical formations (orchestra, ensembles, soloists). Her work researches the algorithmic behavior of music, and musicality within code.

• Das Kinn

Toben Piel (half of the Frankfurt-based avant-garde / techno-pop duo Les Trucs) stops for a visit with a new blend of Post Punk and crisp analog electronics.

• Ya Tosiba

Azerbaijani-born Zuzu Zakaria borrows from traditional music from the region, woven into cutting edge Scandinavian electronica and hip hop, using rhymes in her native Azeri tongue, in the tradition of Meykhana (‘winehouse’) word artists, which was prohibited during the soviet regime.

Resonance Extra presents two nights of the Underground Institute Festival, which was broadcast live from Silent Green, Berlin and Panke Culture on the 8th and 9th December 2022. Sonic exploration, custom built instruments, sound art and avant-garde pop music, featuring some of the most adventurous sonic artists active today.

This episode features Umami Set by heavymeta.4pl:

"Umami means a strong taste that is not sweet, sour, salty, or bitter and that is often referred to as the fifth taste. In Russian, "umami" sounds like "у мамы" that means at mom's house. And for me and many people it`s a real the fifth taste.

It is a mix of different feelings, memories, the present with the past, the past with not your future, your present with a stranger, school hooligans, your favorite childhood series that still plays at your mother's kitchen, first love and all sorts of nostalgia.

This set is based on jingles from cringey Russian TV, mixing various music and speeches that are common in every hood."

The parking garage is a the "inferno of the same" (the agony of eros). It is a labyrinth in which the ceiling is often the floor, a schizophrenic environment that does not allow the face to be recognized. The(se) structures or modern functional ruins are a global phenomenon and in most cases duplicate a common design. In this way the parking garage can act as a portal, an access point into multi-linear spaces (this way amd/or that). All parking garages comprise a kind of universal parking garage, when we are in one parking garage we are in all parking garages.
The global effects of the internet have displaced direction and have effectually erased all horizons. The rhizomatic connections of the internet, a(nother) decentralized and/or multicentered domain.
