In this episode, Isolated Memory, Lost and Found by Alex Sesper:

“The beginning of these recordings, were made during my residency in the Noise Agency project in May 2021. There with objects found in the streets I made some instruments and sounds, Using some ambience recordings in several 6-second tape loops.

This recording consists of an improvisation of some material that I produced during the residency, most of the processes and audios were captured in a digital video camera, then transferred to several cassette tapes, and using 3 different 4-track porta studios I played these tapes, creating this improvisation and recording it again with a cell phone, and so trying once again to create a generation loss layer.”

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.

In this episode, Sam selects some of his favourite, and most meaningful, songs to have featured in long-time Maximum Rocknroll DJ, Pete’s eclectic shows.

Maximum Rocknroll Radio is a weekly radio show and podcast featuring DIY punk, garage rock, hardcore, and more from around the world.

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 very special episode of Third Space pairs two forerunners of the contemporary ambient scene, Nairobi-born, Berlin-based KMRU and Liverpool's Beau Beaumont.

In a Third Space first, all the music you hear throughout the show has been created by the artists themselves, offering an intimate window into their relationships with their cities.

Prodigious and fast-rising star of the underground electronic community KMRU takes the reins for the first half of the show, exploring the sonic character of Nairobi through his vast library of field recordings and luscious synth meditations.

Meine Nacht curator Beau Beaumont (fka Breakwave) takes over for the second hour, premiering a piece called L8 - a journey into the vibrant city of Liverpool through the lens of her fine-tuned creative practice.

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.

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 recordings from our little experimental music festival hosted at Isla Ray in Deptford as part of Deptford X fringe. We had a beautiful evening with beautiful people and now you get to enjoy a best of from the eve.
