This broadcast is an environmental soundscape documentary of the Sneinton Market (Nottingham) Friday Night event from 05/10/18. It took place in the paved Sneinton Market area, with water fountains and structural features, where veggie and eco friendly stalls set up, skateboarders freestyle and bands turn up and play through a lo-fi PA system.

Musicians included Eagle from Punk4theHomeless. Observed as a series of walkabouts in and around the outdoor venue and from static listening perspectives, the recording captures the event in real time attended by a small but enthusiastic audience. Recorded by dallas simpson in binaural 3-D surround sound for headphones.

Dallas Simpson has worked since the 1990s as an environmental location performance sound artist improvising live on location, listening and performing with found objects and surfaces. Works are usually recorded live on location in a single take using custom in-ear binaural techniques. These 3-D perceptual recordings are ideally heard through headphones for a full surround sound experience.

A selection of the most vibrant and exciting new sounds of Latin America's emerging talents.

This special 12 hour broadcast features full-length audio from The Long Half Day, a 12-hour improvised concert at the /i'klectik/ art lab which took place on Saturday 12th March 2016, featuring Tim Yates, Adam Bushell, Benedict Taylor, Kev Nickells, Chris Parfitt, Diana Policarpo, James O'Sullivan and Dan Powell.

In sonic waters once again, this episode begins with the archives of electronic music pioneer Delia Derbyshire, and joyously ends on her infectious narration of manipulating - folding? - sounds. Interlaced with whispering lullaby vocals and crackling whirrs, before hazy mornings in the garden and a celebration of rain on our skin, this mix is one to lie down to, lights low, and let it cleanse.

Featuring wondrous Maya-Leigh Rosenwasser, London based performer and composer, we explore Queerness in music and electro-acoustic improvisation. Let this evening's rhythms wash over you.

The Foldable Sounds Collective presents Foldable Soundbath. The collective formed during the April 2020 lockdown and is composed of three artists: Daniela Maria Geraci, Lucy Rose Cunningham and Isabelle Pead. Individually dealing with sound as an archival, performative and narrational tool, collectively they interrogate sound’s potential to sonically transport the imagination outside one’s four walls, drawing on a global need for freedom of movement.

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.

For this fifth episode of his collected recordings he presents 2 works: 'Ultras Karaoke' and 'Ultras Mashup'.

'Ultras Karaoke' (2019)

This work is a karaoke version of a series of football chants. The lyrics sung by fans are combined with a midi-track version of the original songs.

'Ultras Mashup' (2018)

This work consists of a series of audio tracks in which recordings of football chants are mixed with the “original” songs. It explores the musical aspect of football fan supporters culture and the practice of creation through appropriation.

The recordings include repurposed versions of Giuseppe Verdi’s opera theme 'Aida', 'Gam Gam', a traditional Jewish song from Psalm 23, Marcella Bella’s 1972 Sanremo Festival version of 'Montagne Verdi', Walt Disney’s whistling theme from Robin Hood, 'La Mula de Parensio', a folk song from northern Italy, a Coca-Cola jingle called 'Buy the World a Coke', Dean Martin’s signature song 'That’s Amore', and Righeira’s 80’s summer hit 'L’Estate Sta Finendo'.

The football chants used in the tracks were recorded at the stadium and on away matches as part of Davide’s involvement with the ultras group Brescia 1911.

Davide Tidoni is an artist and researcher interested in the relational dimension of listening, and in the physical experience of sound. He works with live performance, intervention, audio recording, video, and guided listening. He recently published a sound ethnography on the ultras group BRESCIA 1911. 'Collected Recordings' is a series of works selected by Tidoni from his extensive back catalogue.
