Andy Backhouse presents a two hour show of new and unusual music and sounds - playing everything from Free Jazz to Field Recordings. This is an open-format show with a difference.

This six hour edition of Residencies, hosted by London-based composer and sound artist Stace Constantinou, investigates the extent to which sound can be considered music through a series of compositions and interviews with renowned performers, improvisers, writers, poets and thinkers including Mark Bokowiec, Rhodri Davies, Manni Dee, David Hendy, Virginia Firnberg, Jane Manning OBE, Alan Stones and Julie Wilson-Bokowiec.

A monthly show exploring our innate connection to sound, and how we express that through music, showcasing work that connects to our body and minds through rich compositional choices, through intricate processes in the studio, or music that is inspired by the way we interact with the outside world. Connections to Sound journeys through downtempo, electronic, ambient and beat driven music, featuring tracks from artists all around the world. Presented by Kayla Painter.

In this episode: layered sounds of Littoral Transmissions’ live performance at Fort Process 2018. Rippling waves of grass and a hint of rain.

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.

Ambient, folk, ritual, electronic, dub, free jazz and exploratory works selected by BroodingSideOfMadness.

This instalment contains opportunistic content made during a 'pure volunteering' trespass into an archival recording facility, where a vanishingly rare - possibly unique - acetate record (originally found in a bin) is digitised, cryptically titled Baz Kromagnum. Varying fidelity ensues.

Fittingly, this old record - nominally skiffle - sings of unresponsive culture, failed endeavour, and perseverance, heralding sympathetic elongated remixes, and philosophical enquiry on the nature of experiment, passion, presentation, and pratfall.

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.
