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.

60 minutes of vivid aural excitement mixed by Ian Murphy.

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

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.

Tse Tse Fly Middle East was a nonprofit arts and activist organisation that existed from 2015 until 2023. Throughout that time, it presented a monthly two-hour radio programme showcasing sound art and experimental music from the Middle East, India and North Africa.

This month, First Light's Third Space is visited by artists Adam Sherry (London) and Lee Tesche (New Smyrna Beach, Florida).

In Adam's own words, the first half of the show was "recorded over December 2021 as a difficult year drew to a close, the one ahead now coming into view offering hope. This mix features songs by some of my good friends and favourite London based artists, the sonic threads of a community, intertwined with numerous sound walks, flickering moments of inspiration + a few unreleased dead forest fragments share an insight into a bright but transient moment in time."

Best known for his work with the band Algiers, Lee's mix for Third Space encompasses sounds from the coastal area around Cape Canaveral and central Florida. A collection of several years of field recordings, local short wave and marina radio stations, Atlantic Center for the Arts residency work, found ¼” tape reels from the county courthouse, NASA audio archives, local music tapes, and his own collaborative projects during this period, give shape to a fascinating area that his family has inhabited for over half a century.

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.

In this episode: a live set recorded in 2021 by Conditional co-head Nancy Drone, showing the latest developments in her style of glitched techno ambience. Plus an opening mix of similarly fractured atmospheres with the likes of farmersmanual, Bastian Void, rkss, and Emma O'Yama.

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

This episode features music by Yara Asmar, Catherine Christer Hennix, and Eimear Reidy & Natalia Baylis.
