In this first episode, enduring the Metal Gear Solid alert sound effect in a real-world setting, the quasi-unemployed narrator introduces his controversial "work where you like" practice; being an archivist without portfolio, researching "media of unknown origin", and clawing at the British Library's "Suppressed Safe" of restricted-access books.

Abused necks - seats of human voice - are given special attention in this episode - anatomical points of interest in the unusual (and largely unknown) literary work of Marcus S. Chambers (aka "Exact Thinker") and his anarchist counterpart Sydney Hanson. The present-day obscurity of their work forms a self-fulfilling prophecy about the silencing of knowledge, lending much unease, mystery, and squirms to outmanoeuvre "crank" vibes.

Originally commissioned in 2022 as part of Radio Art Zone's tapestry of 22-hour radio productions, this project by Daniel R. Wilson is re-presented here in episodic form. Asphyxia hacks the antagonising systems which thwart and forestall projects (its name also acknowledges the asphyxiating atmosphere of long-form radio when made by a single person). It is a damaged would-be radio documentary exploring the Narnia of restricted access material and gatekept employment.

In this episode: lust infirmity, filth, and more of the decadent deceased.

An inner city dance grotto for self-expression.

This Internet Audio Cyclotron (IAC) spans 15,000 kilometres between London and Dallas, Texas and operates a sonic feedback loop each cycle of which partially destroys the original signal. This sonic erosion causes new textures, artefacts and forms to emerge, akin to an eroded landscape.

Aurosion is a collaborative, long-form performance by Kassia Flux (sound artist, composer and scientist), and Justin Gagen (musician, digital anthropologist and computational musicologist) in which field recordings from locales including the laboratory and the jungle are fed into an auto-destructive, algorithmic and transatlantic feedback loop.
