Welcome to walkplacedistancetime.

Walking, movement in place, in air, distance through time.

In this episode: Iceland ... every three hours for 24 hours ... eight times ... daag einn I juni ... I stand and look east across the fell to the obelisk. Beyond it the northern shoulder of Burfell rises then slips away off its hog’s back summit.

Stand and listen to the plaintive pipe of the Golden Plover and the croak of the Snipe.

Stand … then move off ... down the slope; through the Marsh Marigolds; over the stream; cross two fences; cross the horse paddock to the leaning post; along the horse path; around to the fence to the left; over the fence; cross four streams; pass the waterfall; cross the marsh; cross the stream on stones; up the slope to gap in ridge; up the slope to the lip; around the obilisk; pause; retrace my steps ... eight walks ... eight sections ... split ... re-built ... into a day at random ... eight movements ... this is movement 2.

60 minutes of vivid aural excitement mixed by Ian Murphy.

Estúdio Escuta is an independent project, based in Rio de Janeiro and created by Bianca Tosatto, Gabriela Nobre and Verónica Cerrotta with the purpose of disseminating artists from Latin America who work in the field of sound art and experimental music.

A selection of the most vibrant and exciting new sounds of Latin America's emerging talents.

An immersive psychosonic space, where sounds converse, collide and converge, featuring works, selections, edits, experiments, new music, non-music, archival objects, abstract artefacts, sound(system) and A/V art, pop, trash, noise, voice, and the associated mediums, processes and techniques that make up the ongoing audial investigations of Agents of the Culture Industry & OVT, all presented for art not profit.

In this edition of Shuffle, get ready to listen to the weirdest and most mind-blowing covers and drifts of “Lay All Your Love On Me“ by the Swedish pop band ABBA. There's no order, no lists, just exclusive, overwrought fandom material: marching bands, metalheads, witches, vampires, Soundcloud stars, pioneers of the millennial sound, Mozarts of midi, musicians who run record labels... all are welcome in Shuffle mode.

Featuring two guests: Tuuun and Elbis Rever.

Shuffle by Agnès Pe is a formula radio programme taken to the extreme: repetitive, obscure and humorous. Each episode presents obscure covers of a single song. “Anything that spreads by imitation or spreads by bodily reproduction, like genes, or by viral infection is a meme” - (Richard Dawkins, 2013).

This episode features Kate Carr (London) and Leena Lee (Mexico City).

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.

Injazero Records founder Siné Buyuka plays a selection of electronic, experimental, ambient and contemporary classical tracks.

This twentieth instalment is "mostly just talking" (as music-radio fusspots might say). The episode meditates upon the 'not knowingness' instilled by finding diaries of unknown authorship. It commences with a perusal of the diaries previously found in the British Library's bins.

And... finally: a moderating pragmatist appears in the form of a film-maker who agrees to be chatted to at length. An interview ensues, and a mysterious diary found on the roof of Oxford Street's flapship HMV music store is reminisced over. HMV's roof famously housed a cottage-like cabin of unknown purpose/origin.

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 John Hinks’ poem “Deep, dark Summer night / A sudden shaft of moonlight / Blesses the temple”.

To have your music featured on the show, participate in the Haiku music challenge.

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: An amalgamation of fragmented events with a focus on Arabic hauntology and Bedouin poetry; decomposing and recomposing the material to reveal latent features which persist regardless of this ongoing decontextualization, reallocating our gaze from meaning to contour. Featuring cerpintxt.

Radio Concrete by **Hagai Izenberg is a monthly experimental radio show focusing on live mixing and processing of field recordings together with contemporary music and soundscapes.

For this episode, Mitamine Lab has cooked a mix with lots of dub gems, recent releases and some field recordings inspired by the works of British painter Michael Kirkham.

"Kirkham probes uncomfortable truths about contemporary life, staging his brand of psychological portraiture amidst dim interiors, still lifes, and scenes of urban malaise. While invested in traditions that skew niche and graphic (in all senses of the term), the experience he creates is closer to the unflappable genericness of Koons, the pathos of Balthus, the medium-specificity of Nicole Eisenman, or, occasionally, the despairing filmic worlds of contemporaries like Gaspar Noe, Andrea Arnold, or the Safdie brothers, than the lineages from which he so readily borrows." – Harkawik

Mitamine Lab is a culture laboratory based in Mexico City which blends sound archives with contemporary music and literature.

In this episode: the fifth studio session for the album Is Under Location Surfaces plus a mix keeping things 160 with footwork and noise rock.

A 16-episode bi-weekly series alternating new and unheard live sounds from Trash Panda QC with DJ selections and guests.

The parking garage is a the "inferno of the same" (the agony of eros). It is a labyrinth in which the ceiling is often the floor, a schizophrenic environment that does not allow the face to be recognized. The(se) structures or modern functional ruins are a global phenomenon and in most cases duplicate a common design. In this way the parking garage can act as a portal, an access point into multi-linear spaces (this way amd/or that). All parking garages comprise a kind of universal parking garage, when we are in one parking garage we are in all parking garages.
The global effects of the internet have displaced direction and have effectually erased all horizons. The rhizomatic connections of the internet, a(nother) decentralized and/or multicentered domain.

In this episode, Shane Woolman presents a special guest mix by Howie Lee, and plays tracks by Shit & Shine, WaqWaq Kingdom, Pyrolator and more.
