Lepke B is hard to find. Lepke B is an idea derived from science-fiction. Lepke B is the missing dimension in the world of matter and anti-matter. His brain is a neuronic network spread out over melodies and words that have been transmitted since the beginning of times.

In this episode, Nicola presents the first of a series of special episodes dedicated - individually - to London-based artists. This time, it's Ben Vince, talented saxophonist and producer.

Presented by Kayla Painter.

Cosmic, transcendent sounds and exploratory electronics with f.ampism.

In this episode we take a break from group sessions for the festive period, so we’re sharing some solo works from Erin Robinson, David Williams, Konstantinos Damianakis/Carolina Cury (Hyper Eyes), and Giulio Dal Lago, before playing a long for performance recorder at Avalon Café in December for the TIDES Sound art night (featuring Jamie Turner, Erin Robinson, Helen Tate, Toby Edwards, David Williams, Giulio Dal Lago, Konstantinos Damianakis, Dave Findlay, and Mario Jerome).

This third instalment introduces a number of irritants, including roadworks and a malfunctioning audio recorder suddenly beset with earth hum.

Perseveringly, a Zen-like zone is sought whereby the research into the Suppressed Safe can proceed without hindrance; this involves partaking in dubious meditation clickbait and learning to embrace amateurism.

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 Kobayashi Issa’s poem “in dream world / was I laughing at a turtle? / winter seclusion”.

Thirty minutes of experimental music made in response to a weekly haiku poem, curated by Marco Alessi of Naviar Records and Naviar's international community of composers.

In this episode, a trio improvisation featuring Gardyloo Spew. Playing high up by nature's throne at the golden hour, surrounded by flowing willows and the shrill cry of kingfishers, we tune in to the ever rushing waters of the old River Lea.

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.

Patrick and his guests walk from Exchange Square behind Liverpool Street Station – where Austerlitz first arrives to London on the Kindertransport – to Brick Lane where Stephen reads a poem dedicated to Altab Ali and Bill Fishman. From there they continue to Alderney Road – where Austerlitz lives in the novel and also home to the oldest Ashkenazi Jewish cemetery in the UK – and finally arrive at Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park behind St. Clement's Hospital where Sebald's character spends a long period of recovery.

In this extended programme Patrick Bernard follows in the footsteps of W. G. Sebald and his eponymous character Austerlitz as he explores the East End of London with poet Stephen Watts (a friend of 'Max' Sebald who accompanied him on many of his walks). They are joined by Nadia Valman and David Anderson from Queen Mary University of London as they visit many of the locations in the novel to uncover the layers of history hidden beneath the surface of the city and Sebald's text.
