The Vocal Show #2 - Tomorrow Is Another Day

In this second episode, main characters: 'Red', the expletive, naughty, sweary ventriloquist puppet, and 'Laid Back Lewis' who, although is a good friend to Red, often suffers at the hands of puppet Red's 'gobby' abuse.

Both characters take part in a famous car race in front of a talking, whispering and disbelieving audience. The story continues with a series of random sketches and scenes which are often a part of the narrative, however, often, they are not...

All characters heard in Brooks 'Vocal Show' compositions are Brooks's own voice disguised by removing her own vocal characteristics e.g. frequency, timbre, tone, formant, amplitude and pitch, in order to ventriloquise a multitude of characters, speech characteristics and personas far removed from her own.

Tomorrow Is Another Day was recorded and written by Brooks at Bolt Hole Studios, Hastings, East Sussex, England.

Lead Vocals and percussion: Amanda Brooks, Vocals: Vicky Tawamana, Guitar: Karl Mee, Keyboard: Terry Keen, Bass: Steph Bennion, Drums: Jay Maplesden.


A series devoted to experimenting with sound using the human voice by vocalist Amanda Brooks.

Asphyxia: The "Idiote", the Library Wifi and the Suppressed Safe #22 - Compromise

Beset by all manner of mission creep, this wilderness media study concludes with readings from anonymous diaries, found in a previous episode, and a smattering of unknown lost media against an unwelcome backdrop of unsettling noise from nextdoor neighbours carrying out illegal, unlicensed, unregulated structural alterations.

Asphyxia was originally broadcast as a 22-hour single transmission by Radio Art Zone, and, as can be expected, this final hour is an implosion under the gravity.


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.

Littoral Transmissions #50 - River Soundings 2 Featuring Montañera

Joined once more by Montañera, this time sheltered by a much venerated bandstand with a green woodpecker's eye view of the river lea's encounter with the Stanstead Mill Stream.

The porous structure blurs inner and outer soundworlds, filtering birdsong, trees, and the reverberations of our thoughts as we dial through the frequencies, before eventually reemerging into early afternoon sunshine.


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.

Southeast Asia PhoNographic Mornings #2 - Rodolphe Alexis "Nomascus Concolor’s Call"

"A misty dawn in the Laotian mountain forest of the Nam Kan National Protected Area. Singing under the summer rain, a couple of western Black crested gibbons, (Nomascus Concolor Lu) claim their territory. We can easily hear the rain hitting the sheet metal roof of a treehouse above the slope of the forest. Only found in northwestern Laos, Nomascus Concolor Lu is a critically endangered sub species of the black crested gibbon. This was recorded in collaboration with the ecotourism project "The Gibbon Experience" during the summer closing of 2017. The file is a binaural mixdown of an ambisonic recording."

Rodolphe Alexis is a sound recordist involved in phonography and field recording. He also works in installation, sculpture, performance and radio. He regularly works with art schools, music schools and museums. As an associate curator of the MU collective, he participates in various electro-acoustic projects.


Stéphane Marin presents a weekly series of twenty soundscapes recorded in the mornings at various locations throughout South East Asia. This series forms part of a wider project, « Each Morning of the World », which invites sound artists, composers and recordists globally to share their own specific point of listening, either through a raw field recording or original composition.
