"With the apocalyptic vision of Ballard and the acerbic attitude of Céline, MUEUM scatters human detritus over the shiny Perspex of our most dearly loved vitrines." – Chris McCabe

"A showcase, ransacked with horrid delight: Fowler's MUEUM presents the placid, lurid violences of surveillance and exhibition with startling and brutal stylishness. A seething triumph." – Eley Williams

A novella of ludic menace, a puzzle without pieces, SJ Fowler’s MUEUM pictures the amassing and dismantling of a public edifice, brick by brick, in prose that refracts and breaks the light emitted by history’s ornaments and history’s omissions. Suspended in unknowable time there is a city; in the city, an event, a conflict. Amid the ash, fog and cloud, there is the manufacturing of a space—a many-winged museum on the make.

On the plinths, exquisite remnants of life present and past—adorning the walls, portraits of gentle torture sit hand in hand with brutal and statuesque portrayals of camaraderie—and the gift-shop is littered with plastic curios and gilt revulsion. Goya, as atmosphere rather than artwork, hovers amid iron age ghosts, bronzed ideas, and antiqued anxiety.

Pacing the hall, atrium and corridor, there are those who keep the museum—the various midwives to the building’s demands—and those, like the reader, who merely visit; those who pass through the vacant galleries adrift with questions. What can I touch? What is next to Egypt? What is hidden in Mesopotamia? Where do we eat? Drink? Where is the entrance? The exit? Following the tradition of the Nestbeschmutzer authors (“one who dirties their own nest,” vis-à-vis Bernhard and Gombrowicz, et al), in Fowler’s curt, spiralling, and acute work, the museum’s keepers will answer.

A four-part, unabridged broadcast of SJ Fowler’s debut novella, MUEUM — as read by the author — recorded on location in Resonance Extra's South London studios.

In this show we'll be broadcasting Part 1 of a remote collaboration between Alaa Yussry and Stephan Barrett who were brought into contact through Colliding Lines.

Starting with an open-ended process of sharing recordings, sparked by an interest in micro-tonal and unequal temperament systems, the interplay between text and sound, and working with aleatoric methods of sonic disintegration.

Accompanying this, we'll be re-playing recordings from our 2018 Shadowplay tour, performed by Jacob Kyriakides, Reuben Kyriakides and guests.

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.

This episode explores the now abandoned Dorothea Slate Quarry in Dyfrryn Nantlle and the intersection of Loch Harport and Loch Bracadale off the Isle of Skye. The Dyfrryn Nantlle Valley is an incredible landscape.

Ancient hills give way to a man-made valley sculpted by industry and the production of new counters. Davoll explores the sonic potential of this space performing improvisation with the space as well as making field recorders.

Flux aims to explore the themes of liminal space, temporality and boundaries, whether physical or theoretical. This exploration is carried out through field recording and sound design. Each episode invites an artist, performer or sound recordist to create a show in reaction to these themes. Exploring a space or spaces they deem relevant through their own creative practice.

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).

This second episode begins with a short reconstruction of a conversation with former bookshop manager "Cynthia", who gives the programme-maker a list detailing the British Library's Suppressed Safe contents - a list which exceeds anything currently in the public domain.

"Cynthia" deemed it such a hot potato that she requested a voice actor completely re-record her voice. After receiving the list, oddly synchronicitous disturbances (of varying significance) materialise.

Originally commissioned in 2022 as part of Radio Art Zone's tapestry of 22-hour radio productions, this project by Daniel R. Wilson is re-presented here in episodic form. Asphyxia hacks the antagonising systems which thwart and forestall projects (its name also acknowledges the asphyxiating atmosphere of long-form radio when made by a single person). It is a damaged would-be radio documentary exploring the Narnia of restricted access material and gatekept employment.

Nøthing more to say…

In contrast, we present some Cornelius Cardew (†1981) pieces written between 1960 and 1970.

Cardew’s music of the 1960s brought together ideas from both the European and American avant garde at the time, influencing everyone from Alvin Curran, Morton Feldman and Robert Wyatt to latter-day luminaries like US musicians Jim O’Rourke and Sonic Youth.

An upcoming online performance by the Aonghus McEvoy Ensemble is a rare opportunity for UK audiences to hear the music of this most revolutionary of composers. Irish composer Aonghus McEvoy convenes a group including musicians David Lacey, Ailbhe Nic Oireachtaigh, Rob Casey and renowned UK improviser/ musician Rhodri Davies to perform selections from his experimental period (1960-1970).

Online performance: October 9th & 16th, 7pm at Lutherhaus & St. Finian's Church, Dublin ///

This episode features mixes by Liis Ring (Rapina, Estonia) and Ayami Suzuki (Tokyo).

In the first half of the episode, Liis Ring sketches us a sonic portrait of Räpina - a small town in the South East of Estonia. In among field recordings collected on her walks around the town and original music recorded in her grandmother's shed, Ring shines a light on the musical heritage of the area via folk tunes (sung in the local dialect) and new adaptations of traditional pieces.

The second half sees Ayami Suzuki explore the sounds of life in Tokyo; the hum of train station platforms, the buzz of cicadas in the forest, the summer tradition of the Awa Odori dance. Nestled among these sounds are selections from the city's contemporary experimental music scene.

Each month, First Light Records invites two artists to take an unplanned journey with a microphone around their city to curate an hour-long mix. Each show captures the unique atmosphere of a city from each artist's perspective, through music and found sound.

This episode with Phil England and Misha Farrant features music by Laetitia Sadier, Fred Frith, Moor Mother, Zoh Amba & Francisco Mela, and much more.

In this episode, An Trinse presents a hallucinogenic noisy live impromptu for vinyls, modular synths and Traktor.

As An Trinse, Northern Irish audiovisual artist Stephen McLaughlin reckons with the cultural history of Ireland with sound and image, mapping what he describes as “the uneasy atmospheres and silences left in the Irish psyche in the aftermath of colonial and religious repression, using archaeology and ancient history as a conduit.” – FACT Magazine about his A/V work Humic Acid Regress.
