In this episode, get ready to listen to the weirdest and most mind-blowing covers and drifts of Shape of you by Ed Sheeran. There's no order, no lists, only stilted and exclusive material.

Users of google translate, notes alterers, carnatic indians contemporary, cumbia lovers, chemists and physicists, flute duets… all are welcome in Shuffle formula radio mode.

This episode features a special guest, Malinda K. Reese, with her project Twisted Translations.

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).

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.

minusSPAMminus (SPAM 6) is a work made for radio and of spam facts, + and - regarding spam, personal stories triggered by spam in a material, non-material, historical and emotional manner, all assembled by Jasmina Al-Qaisi and Ralf Wendt with their invited friends and collaborators who decided to respond to the email they sent with the word SPAM in the subject.

This radio work arises from an invitation from Afrika Diva Collectif in Kinshasa and uses a non-linear approach to documentary, creating a circular audio collage with voices and audio accounts of daily life disturbances. We asked everyone and ourselves: how can life minus spam be? What would a life without spam look like?

Participants: Orakle Ngoy, Sara Ndele and Gina Ndaya (Afrika Diva Collectif); Claire Serres, Abir Tawakalna, Pati Sayuri, Beya Othmani, Ali, Nico and Lav (CUTRA pop feminist magazine); Henrik Nieratschker, Gustavo Mendez and Maria Karpushina (Research and Waves); Parveda Chandra Kiran, Özge Açıkkol and Seçil Yersel (odaprojesi group); Heidi Salaverria, Alexandru Udrea-Raj, Tina Klatte, Simona Constantin, Cristina Bogdan, Mriganka Madhukaillya, Sebastian Gerstengarbe, Alexander Klose, and Schnelle Musikalische Hilfe. Translations by Clara Brandt and Elsa Westreicher.

yeah the hider

yongrak activeates that dark breath in my ‘chest wall’
oozing (weezing) out like speaking the leaking spout

the gammar is taken off
gamma takeoff
grammes
the darkness of game

decomposition and clay retrieval

smuggling clairty in rotoscopic lava

“atrocios”

”-itis’ (disease idea)

so heavy you cuold never lift it and then it rushes your blending (flenders II) (HURLY IFLENDS)

did i give you rotten mound permissions

Bask in this knowledge bath
Basking like shark
“bath” (graey water)

talk about ‘beaks’ ‘mouth’ ‘melt’ ‘weak’

head carve
and each slice reveals hendred four new old worlds

Martin relegation hile filve

VORE spacial Em rotery

every word is subject to change, every word is subject to chance, every word is under the scent, every word is under the weight of it and under the bed, under the hill running under us like deep savage sewer
every word is in “quotations” every word is in vocalic choke hold, vocalic colic, vocalised rize and local rice

“nerve gaga”
harry ‘Plotts’
Yerng Woosh

It sounds like waste with an attention to science
It sounds like haste with slowness alliance
It sounds like taste of ceffalize nevermine

garstly expediency
running through lanes hooting
moola lanes

There is a sense of biology a nervous biologeme a biology of language
might sound silly might sound defunct but I’m rolling around
I’m rolling around in the callous victim of cartoon idea
the fallus whip
little metal script
high tide my life scrolls past
tiddle war happy leggo tiddle war
flipping to them

the body of the name and the name of the body
and so much can happyen in twenny secons
fortey naine seconds hellish remainder plain stark fish flinger

tcker tape acknowlegesys the remidner that truth remains in the length
up and down, left and right, through and through
long through my team of loose screw tighten and rubbish them the men the you
I’m led by a string of socking sound that extends beyond my many men like 50 cent
Hundred bags forteen bags the ninestyle rags the hyper ‘sags’
the usage of quotation the talking the station I’m generation I’m generating elocquation
electriquaytion

and is junking through the pile even really necessary
thats i what find mytself asking to myself
hard back dust sack must

all emerging from the darkness
nothing in the light
the dark is the hot light
this is language disbanded from the mouth mouth
language got hunted down lang dspreay

and now i want to tell everyone “shitu p” if they tell me the AI, the after space the last city in the world and The alien is getting me, i tant to tell them ‘lose you’ if you tell tme this is technology at the end, this is the game, this is ‘Japan’ i tell tehm ‘goodbye’ take the piss mate. this is not the thought from that place this is more than you could ever imagine. its within the crux and the plex, hunting from the beginning and never finding. Indle spiralling into the thicket stash. Hilling the running the lung got caught on the brush.

Welcome to walkplacedistancetime.

Walking, movement in place, in air, distance through time.

Today’s episode is Kittiwake Triptych No. 1: Skerwink.

This is the first of a triptych of recordings of my walking to “the same place” - a Kittiwake colony - 20 minutes sitting at the place and my walking away back to my starting point. The three “same places” are one in rural Newfoundland and two in rural Northumberland. At each site, on another day, or at a different time of the same day, each recording would have been different.
