Cosmic, transcendent sounds and exploratory electronics with f.ampism.

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.

In this episode, Antichildleague (UK).

"The indestructible and hyperactive Gaya Donadio, also known as Hagshadow/Hinoeuma, demonstrates the project named ACL as another mutation of the famous Antichildleague. The anti-music of ACL began in 1997 as a post-punk experiment, soon taking the shape of completely radical and unrestricted performances applying all possible media. Gaia's personality hates rest: uncompromising and productive for more than 20 years, totally active on the London industrial scene.

As a performer, she has participated in an infinite number of projects and collaborations (e.g. with Partick Leagas of Sixth Comm and Martine Bowes of Attrition). As a solo artist, she recorded a series of albums, including'The Father, The Son, The Holy Spirit'.

ACL's ingredients are elements of sub-genres such as harsh noise, power electronics industrial, rhythm noise, and ritual dark ambient.ACL is a solo instrument of fight and determination, whose each live-action is a display of uncontrollable rage and readiness for confrontation. Attention needed."

Jose Macabra presents solo work and other collaborations.

Artistic rattles, crunches and drones open portals to the otherworldly dimensions. The noises of old magnetic tapes and piercing frequencies of modern electronics are intertwined with lyrics and melodic harmonies. The point of equilibrium has been already passed, but the awakening from sleep doesn’t come immediately…

Presented by Theresa Elflein, Colliding Lines takes you on a trip through the backwoods of experimental pop and back again.

In this episode, our eclectic selection of tracks chart a course through the slow dark secrets of 80s-influenced pop, through South African jazz, and to unfinished songs written by the ghost of a woman – bruised like a peach fallen from a tree.

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.

Walk one hour rest one hour. Twelve walks divided and rebuilt at random. Twelve walks each a new tide walk. This is tide walk 1.

Worthwhile Unions is a radio series by Anna Clegg with a focus on meeting points. Often collaborative and pulling heavily from online sources, the series works to extract a kind of cinema of feeling, contradicting and evasive, from dense combinations of music, sound and samples.

For a while now, DJ BONEY S and zikade have been playing with the idea of merging their respective sounds. It wouldn’t be the first time these two share the decks, though: under the name of DJ Frottée, they recently started a vinyl only project dedicated to classic 90s underground from techno to trance.

Finding the spaces where their individual sets collide, their new vinyl only back2back project Hypnotist will be a journey from techno, EBM and industrial to dark italo and disco-heavy electro. Sharing a deep understanding of the other one‘s musical taste and a similar vision for the dance floor, Hypnotist are excited to create something fresh.

Armen is a sound work and collection related to diasporic music which Andrius Arutiunian has been developing since 2016. It traces obscure Armenian disco releases from the 80s, remakes little-known pop songs from different parts of the Armenian diaspora, and navigates this treacherous sonic field in polyphonous, and sometimes contradictory ways. Armen is also a homage to one of the most common Armenian names.

In 2017 an iteration of Armen was published as a vinyl release. As writer Monika Kalinauskaitė wrote in her text for this publication: “But right now, at this moment, on a rug, in a car, by the monotonous music machine, the only circles you draw are your first ones, spinning the body and thought, breaking the world’s axis into millions of dancing small figures. You may as well hear of those rivers – it’s a miracle, but they reach everywhere, populating the world with gold-headed fish. Only blood and bodies alter their flows, oh look, we are now trapped in an island that was not here before, I believe we are also humming songs we never knew, but somehow remember.”

Andrius Arutiunian is a sound artist and composer based in the Netherlands. He works through sound and hybrid forms of media, with a particular interest in sonic artefacts, aural identities, and digital, automated technologies.

Sonic dissent, alternate modes of political and musical organisation, and playful investigation of esoteric and vernacular histories form Arutiunian’s most recent works. Using hypnotic and enigmatic forms, Arutiunian’s works often question the notion of musical and political attunement.

In 2022 Andrius Arutiunian represented Armenia at the 59th Venice Art Biennale with a solo show entitled Gharīb. Other recent solo shows include Counterfates (Meduza Vilnius, 2023) Diaphonics (Centrala Birmingham, 2023), and Incantations (CTM and Silent Green, Berlin, 2021).
