This Internet Audio Cyclotron (IAC) spans 15,000 kilometres between London and Dallas, Texas and operates a sonic feedback loop each cycle of which partially destroys the original signal. This sonic erosion causes new textures, artefacts and forms to emerge, akin to an eroded landscape.

Aurosion is a collaborative, long-form performance by Kassia Flux (sound artist, composer and scientist), and Justin Gagen (musician, digital anthropologist and computational musicologist) in which field recordings from locales including the laboratory and the jungle are fed into an auto-destructive, algorithmic and transatlantic feedback loop.

In this episode, get ready to listen to the weirdest and most mind-blowing covers and drifts of Don’t You Want Me by The Human League. There's no order, no lists, only stilted and exclusive material.

Mariachis, Pets, mass choirs, rumba dancers, plastic chickens, bla …bla bla… all are welcome in Shuffle formula radio mode.

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).

It ranges from radical ethnics from Turkmenistan to African rhythms from Azerbaijan, epic Mongolian avant-garde to psychedelic rock from Uyguria, as well as unprecedented folk - and even some synth-pop - from Uzbekistan.

Uzbekistan-based DJ and TOPOT label boss Eugenie Galochkin presents a mix of rare vinyl rips of Central Eurasian music released on the Melodiya label between 1956-1991.

In this episode, part 2 of a mythogeosonic journey around Gateshead in Tyneside and the site of the former Gateshead Garden Festival.

From 1984 until 1992 five National Garden Festivals were held in the UK. One of them was in Gateshead in the North East of England in 1990. It lasted 157 days across that summer and received over three million visitors.

The Garden Festivals were the idea of UK Conservative environment secretary Michael Heseltine in 1980. They were based on the German post-war Bundesgartenschau concept for reclaiming large areas of derelict land in cities.

All the festivals were held in designated areas — reclaimed land that had become derelict and poisonous in the wake of industrial decline. Other festivals were held in Liverpool, Stoke and Glasgow. They each cost between £25 — £70 million.

Michael McHugh is joined by artists and mytho-geosonic experts Tim Shaw and John Bowers for an exhaustive journey along the River Team and through the landscape and footpaths of the former festival on the eve of this years vernal equinox.

It's very different to how it was in 1990 and if you look closely, in amongst the empty bottles of white cider, 30 years of lager cans, discarded laptops, torn suitcases, condoms and nitrous oxide bulbs you’ll find remnants of the festival’s sculptures, landscaping and foundations.

It's an eerie interzone and that makes the aspiration and ambition of the 1990 festival feel somewhat unreal.

The Tyneside Sounds Society is a monthly broadcast dedicated to the recording and reinterpretation of the sonic environment and sound heritage of Tyneside in the North East of England.

This episode is dedicated to my late grandmother Chrisanthi Miliopoulou Gavriilidou. She was my main influence growing up and a strong female figure. She was born in Istanbul in the 30s. She used to climb the huge cargo and oil tanker ships in the Bosporus sea, and dive from incredible heights. She was a storyteller...

She is still remembered as a historical figure in the area of Paşabahçe Turkey. Her late husband was a well-known doctor and they both had a huge impact on the local community, which was made up of many different nationalities and ethnicities. She taught me to respect people and to be a citizen of the world.

She bought me my first spray cans for my first graffiti and supported me in all my ventures until the last day of her life. She was an immigrant, a fighter and a strong maternal figure to many. She did not fear death, not even cancer. She will always be with her loved ones and with me forever.
