Jose Macabra presents solo work and other collaborations.

Nicola Serra, founder of East London's experimental music festival Dronica, presents new and archival material.

This episode marks the release of River . Pathway . Static, upcoming album by Stephan Barrett and Sylvia Hallett produced by Colliding Lines.

The two musicians find themselves nestled within field recordings of the River Lea, Tottenham Marshes, and Downhills Park, drawing the listener between the cracks and into hidden corners; into the rich background worlds that surround us daily. The two musicians first met and collaborated as part of Littoral Transmissions, a broadcast with Stephan here on Resonance Extra.

For Sylvia, whose musical approach can be best described as “violin moving outwards,” to bowed bicycle wheel and vinery, this piece follows Tree Time and Bolt and Latch. For Stephan this follows on from sound collage and invented language project The Abrasion Tapes, from long distant collaboration Blitemotes.

We round out with a replay of live work performed and composed as part of 2020’s live series Reanimation, which featured artists Ingrid Plum, Bell Lungs, Martin Clarke with Derek Yau, and Merlin Nova to name a few.

Colliding Lines present live sessions, cross-genre collaborations and left-field recordings drawn from the London, UK and international experimental scenes; a long-form love letter to recorded audio as soundtrack, as sound art and as storyteller.

In this episode: an audio essay with Arianne Churchman exploring her ongoing research into the folklore of horses and practices of horse magic.

Chalk horses run across the landscape with the sun, and birth foals with magic in their mouths. Under the moonlight the frog's bone glimmers in the stream, waiting to be presented to the horse and set forth new forms of communication. We join the horse cult, sinking deeply in, and open our escape with them through a dream.

Communiques from Thanet Tape Centre, Hard drive sludge. audio tidal pools. Music sediment. Friends utterances, sea walls of noise, salt marsh drone.

Lepke B's blissful disregard for the sacred in life has placed him as one of the testcard knights with a totally unique approach to sound plunderphonics and visual art.

Welcome to walkplacedistancetime.

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

This episode is In the South of an Imaginary Island: Movement 2.

"I have an imaginary island. As part of a Groundworks project, I made a walk around the south of my island. As per the project instructions I walked between randomly chosen stopping points, each with associated ‘prompt’ words. The result is this sound work; this first half played in January and this second half plays in February. More details, the associated text and a concertina-fold book can be viewed here."

This show is dedicated to Mimi Zhu’s Be Not Afraid of Love: Lessons on Fear, Intimacy, and Connection (2022), a collection of essays about embodying and re-learning love, mixed with some gorgeous gems from the past, the present and the future.

"Be Not Afraid of Love explores the intersections of love and fear in self-esteem, friendship, family dynamics, and romantic relationships, and extends out to its effects on society and the greater political realm. In sharing their own intimate encounters with oppression, healing, joy, and community, Mimi invites readers to reflect deeply on their own experiences as well, with the intention of acting as a guide to undoing the hurt or uncertainty within them. In this heartrending and revolutionary book, Mimi reminds us, be not afraid of love."
