Where the Dead Voices Gather is an indeterminate process driven radio experiment that uses the book 'Where The Dead Voices Gather' by Nick Tosches as its starting point.

Songs are chosen from a series of libraries based on the structure of a haiku. Each show has 17 songs / sounds therefore each show represents a sonic haiku.

Where the Dead voices gather is exploring the sonic potentials of written text and the indeterminate.

After last month's episode showcasing Discrepant-only releases from 2022, here is a show featuring the ever reliable Keroxen label – the newest and freshest sister label here in the warm tropical shores of the Canary Islands.

Established as a festival in 2009, Keroxen is the record label born out of the 13-year old multidisciplinary arts festival of the same name based in Tenerife. Like its homonymous annual festival, the label’s aim is to serve as a platform for local experimentation by working with the most genre defying local artists as well as supporting collaborations with well established, like-minded international acts.

This is a wild journey of rock, free jazz, electronica, field recordings and everything else in between.

In this episode, 'Bayankhongorijn Khukh Nuur' by Patrick Franke.

"In 2013 I took part in an expedition to Central Mongolia. I was focussing on sound recordings to clarify the taxonomic status of some species based on bioacoustics or even to make first ever recordings."

Amongst other places we went to an alpine area surrounding the lake Bayankhongorijn Khukh Nuur. As days during expeditions are usually very packed, time for recordings of the general soundscape or even enjoying that just by listening is very limited. Thus, this excerpt of an one hour recording is a rather rare exception.

My aim was to document the soundscape of this particular spot after capturing vocalisations of most of it's inhabitants discretely. Furthermore this recording of a sparsely populated habitat should scrutinise Bernie Krauses 'acoustic niche' theory which is mostly based on data from densely populated habitats."

Patrick Franke is a freelance ornithologist and sound recordist based in Berlin, Germany.

Stéphane Marin presents a weekly series of fifteen short soundscapes recorded in the mornings at various locations throughout East Asia. This series for Resonance Extra forms part of a wider project, 'Each Morning of the World', which invites sound artists, composers and recordists globally to share their own specific point of listening, either through a raw field recording or original composition.

In this episode, new and strange emissions from N1L, Second Woman, Ewa Justka and Vytear, plus a guest mix from London's mighty Holodisc. Holodisc digs up prime cuts from Ophelia’s interviewing past. Meet Jamal Moss—the label’s unknowing spiritual godfather—repurposed to fit their selection of disembodied sounds.

Tracks from across the spectrum of electronic and computer music, with Calum Gunn of Conditional.

During the lockdown, a revolving group of sound artists from across Europe and the US convened live on air with a unified aim: to gather sound-pollen and transmit codified messages to kindred folk, exploring whatever was on their minds. Style guide: Anything goes.

Here we broadcast some selected live works by the CWCH Collective.
