Athens Inner City Broadcast #59 - V3sta x Yorgas Helmet / Gene

In this episode: the date was 13/11/3019. Lost in the wasteland of the Judas Sea, within the ruins of what once was, a zone tripper appeared. The darkest days had already come, and only they reside in the glass flats of cyber memories from a future past.

Black sphere through the brightest nights and symbols of neon remnants of past lies, on high walls painted with chrome dyes. Computers don’t understand sacrifice.

Recorded in Athens / Berlin in 2019 and using digital and analog synthesisers.

First Light's Third Space #17 - Liis Ring & Ayami Suzuki

This episode features mixes by Liis Ring (Rapina, Estonia) and Ayami Suzuki (Tokyo).

In the first half of the episode, Liis Ring sketches us a sonic portrait of Räpina - a small town in the South East of Estonia. In among field recordings collected on her walks around the town and original music recorded in her grandmother's shed, Ring shines a light on the musical heritage of the area via folk tunes (sung in the local dialect) and new adaptations of traditional pieces.

The second half sees Ayami Suzuki explore the sounds of life in Tokyo; the hum of train station platforms, the buzz of cicadas in the forest, the summer tradition of the Awa Odori dance. Nestled among these sounds are selections from the city's contemporary experimental music scene.


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.
