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.

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 Dead Neanderthals, Domiziano Maselli, Liberez, Gregory A Dugan, Cameraoscura, kNN, Disinformation, Otto Van Kleist and Pinna.

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.

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