In this episode - Septic Settlers: Right time, Wrong Speed. A waxed nest of fossilised hard drives washes up on the banks of the Nung. Upon sight, they are peeled open with blatant disregard for warranties or common archeological habit, revealing a dense soup of final cut files and wet protein flakes. Early analysis concludes the soup is non-plussed and already requests shipment to other shores.

An inner city dance grotto for self-expression.

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.

• audio / visual decomposer Lepke B posits the question - "How will we live in the 21st Century?"

This episode features music and field recordings capturing the sounds of Berlin and Mexico City, courtesy of Jana Irmert and Mabe Fratti.

In the first hour, Jana probes the intrigue of Berlin's streets and experimental music scene. Using cutting edge recording technologies, she offers us an unconventional angle on the city's soundscape, from the electronic signals surging through power boxes and neon signs to the subtle movements under the ice covering the Spree River.

In the second hour, Guatemalan cellist and composer Mabe Fratti takes us across Mexico City. Her mix features a selection of tracks from artists living and working in the city, combined with recordings of the everyday music that floods its streets: parents and children singing together, musicians improvising in bars and on street corners, and taxi drivers cranking up the radio to share their favourite songs.

Each month, First Light Records invites two artists to take an unplanned journey with a microphone around their city to curate an hour-long mix. Each show captures the unique atmosphere of a city from each artist's perspective, through music and found sound.

A big month for Flaming Pines with two new releases out in October. Jonathan Higgins introduces his new album Good thanks, you?. RUBBISH MUSIC's Upcycling - a sonic investigation into discarded objects - is finally out too.

We also have a first listen to Masayoshi Miyazaki's epic double album My China Life and dip into Ecka Mordecai's Promise & Illusion on Cafe Oto's Otoroku. Thomas Ragsdale's new album as Sulk Rooms also gets a preview and we close with a busted guitar found on the street.

This is the Flaming Pines radio show featuring new releases, mixes and experiments in field recording, sound art and experimental music, hosted by Kate Carr and guests.

In this episode, Dronica meets Dalila Kayros for a guest mix.

Sardinian singer and composer Dalila Kayros creates avant-garde indie electronic songs with dark ambient elements. Her music evolves through concept albums, which see Kayros creating surreal images relating to symbolism and a dystopian aesthetic, blending lead with ritualistic vocals and combining quiet and fierce moods.

"We'll walk on different terrains, from an etheric sound to a scream from the guts! So from a quiet sideral night to a screaming foggy day where the sun hits as strong as ever!" – Dalila Kayros.

Nicola Serra, founder of East London's experimental music festival Dronica, presents new and archival material.

60 minutes of vivid aural excitement mixed by Ian Murphy.

In this episode, SubPhonics is joined by poets Mario Jerome and David Findlay for a month-long collaborative exploration of words and music. As the weeks go on, the interactions become more experimental and creative, with words guiding music and the discovery of letting go to participate

This second episode begins with a short reconstruction of a conversation with former bookshop manager "Cynthia", who gives the programme-maker a list detailing the British Library's Suppressed Safe contents - a list which exceeds anything currently in the public domain.

"Cynthia" deemed it such a hot potato that she requested a voice actor completely re-record her voice. After receiving the list, oddly synchronicitous disturbances (of varying significance) materialise.

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.

This episode features music made by Naviar’s community inspired by Sôen Nakagawa’s poem “Sound of mountain / sound of ocean / everywhere spring rain.”
