Beàrnaraigh, hosted by Martin Eccles, is a programme exploring movement, time and distance through walking on an outer Hebridean island.

Expanding on our collaborative study of Pauline Oliveros' Sonic Meditations Pacific Tell and Energy Changes to mark the winter solstice, Tarik Haskic and Littoral Transmissions open up telepathic communication across time and space with Blanc Sceol (Stephen Shiell & Hannah White), Gardyloo, Shona Handley, and Montañera.

This broadcast is a combined recording of 6 separate performances made simultaneously in 6 locations in Bogota (Columbia), London (UK: Hackney, Newham, New River Studios), Wiltshire (UK, close to Avebury Stones), and a beautiful woven carpet in a tiny countryside house in Slovenia looking at the sea.

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.

This special broadcast Today Calls: A Year in a Day places all 366 episodes of the remarkable project back-to-back for a year in a day.

Today Calls is year-long daily series by artist and writer Christof Migone. Three writers respond to historical events for every day of the year. Texts by Kathryn Kuitenbrouwer, Christof Migone, and Jordan Scott.

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.

This episode features music made by Naviar’s community inspired by Sôen Nakagawa’s poem “morning service / offering its fragrance / a white lily”.

To have your music featured on the show, participate in the Haiku music challenge.

Thirty minutes of experimental music made in response to a weekly haiku poem, curated by Marco Alessi of Naviar Records and Naviar's international community of composers.

“The past is a foreign country: they do things differently there.” – L.P. Hartley (1895-1972)

• audio / visual decomposer Lepke B posits the question - "How will we live in the 21st Century?"

A 16-episode bi-weekly series alternating new and unheard live sounds from Trash Panda QC with DJ selections and guests.

Second in a series of twelve annual events taking place on December 12 from noon to midnight noon to midnight EST (9-9 PST, 11-11 CST, 17-05 GMT, 18-06 CET, 1-13 CST, 2-14 KST). Each year the event moves through each word of the 12-word phrase: 'you and I are water earth fire air of life and death' and activates the word of the year in myriad ways.

This year the word is ‘and’, consequently the focus is on repetitions, conjunctions, and duos. Last year it started with ‘you’, this year we connect you to anything and everything, we connect you to what you are together-with. Or, we get stuck in the very act that ‘and’ opens up, into the enormity that the so-what-next that ‘and’ implies.

‘And’ is all possibilities in a nutshell.
