SJ Fowler is a poet, writer, performer, from London.

In your lucy locket, a series of encounters with London’s most loveable rogue, Babs the purple cat, whose improvised talk poems have become a staple of the UK’s avant garde poetry scene. Recorded at public performances, film shoots and specifically for this release, and featuring found sound recordings around the capital, Babs takes on what is possible for the improvised poem and for the poet as a character.

In this episode, Jack Chuter looks back over 2017 with a playlist of music inspired by a busy year of interviews, reviews and podcasts. Full track-list available at http://www.attnmagazine.co.uk/radio.

Thematic mixes and reflections, captured along the Dorset coastline by ATTN:Magazine's Jack Chuter.

This episode is curated by Helicotrema, an Italy-based recorded audio festival investigating and instigating collective listening experiences. Inspired by the first decades of radio broadcasting, the festival is set up like a screenless film festival. In locations that vary year-to-year, audiences are invited to immerse themselves in radio plays, narrative sound works, audio documentaries and poetry, experimenting with how the listening experience can be influenced and enriched by different social and environmental contexts. In 2020 – when it’s especially important to emphasise the communal, physically-present elements of listening – their ninth festival took place in a renowned athletics stadium, and the programme was broadcast beyond that into the surrounding neighbourhood.

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.

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

This episode explores two powerful walls. The Land Walls of Istanbul dating back to the 4th - 5th century and the contemporary Sea Defence Walls currently being constructed in prefecture of Fukushima, Japan. 

The Land Walls that used to define the rear perimeter of the city. But, as the city has grown it has expanded beyond its reach and now cuts through different demographics and communities, picking up new thoughts, new sounds, and new environments.

The sea walls of Fukushima now span some … km and reach a height of 12m in places. These walls constructed to protect communities from Typhoon or Tsunami are a highly contested space due to their effect on these very same communities. Cutting them off from the sight and sound of the sea. The walls acting as a sound mirror reflecting the internal and external sounds.

From inside the safety of the walls one only hears the reflected anthrophonic sounds of the populous, industry and infrastructure, as well as, the biophonic sounds of cicadas, birds and domestic animals. On the exterior side the mass reverberations of the waves cancel all other noises and the both the soundwaves and waves compete for space.

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 edition of Shuffle, get ready to listen to the weirdest and most mind-blowing covers and drifts of Hello by Adele. There's no order, no lists, only stilted and exclusive material. Squirrels, electric toothbrushes, reague fanatics, babies, mermaids and newts… all are welcome in Shuffle formula radio mode.

This episode features a special guest, Milo Thesiger–Meacham: Soundcloud // Vimeo // Instagram.

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).

In block five (the term 'episode' is no longer applicable here due to events exceeding the time-slot's duration, and time mismanagement on the part of the creator), the buzz in the left audio channel continues apace.

A visit is paid to the National Archives to view a document redacted to the point of insignificance, some Pure Volunteering is enacted, and attempts to meditate upon noise annoyances are experimentalised.

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.

SubPhonics have been working with artist and performer Uli Ap for the latest installation of her Alien AI project. In this episode, hear some sounds we used in our the performances on Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th of January at Ugly Duck!

In this episode, Dronica meets Danilo Casti.

Electroacoustic musician and composer, Danilo Casti was born in Cagliari (Sardinia island, Italy) and has been present in the Italian electronic music scene since the early 2000s, working in live performance, contemporary dance, video, and multimedia installation.

He performs either as a solo artist or as a member of collective projects. Since 2018, he has been part of Dalila Kayros's band as an electronic musician, composer and arranger.

He is also part of Alessandro Carboni's contemporary dance company as a composer and performer. He has collaborated with several artists and he performed at various festivals of electronic music, theatre, and contemporary dance around Europe, USA, and Asia. His music style includes synthetic and concrete sounds organised in different ways, from straightforward composition to an algorithmic generative approach.

His career has been strongly influenced by experimental theatre and contemporary dance, and his music is based around atmospheric composition and soundscapes. Collaborating with Dalila Kayros, he explores more rhythmic and harmonic textures, combining his experimental, electroacoustic attitude with a songwriting style.

ANIMAMI, the latest record by Dalila Kayros and Danilo Casti, has recently received the Mario Cervo Award for Best Album 2022.
