Andy Backhouse presents a two hour show of new and unusual music and sounds - playing everything from Free Jazz to Field Recordings. This is an open-format show with a difference.

Host Jack Chuter asks musicians to describe the environment in which they make their music: the physical spaces, equipment and ritualised behaviours that accompany the act of creating sound.

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

This episode of Third Space features Suny and Ikea Customer Service. The first half of the show sees Suny pay homage to the natural spaces and creatives that make them feel close to the city.

In the second portion of the show, Ikea Customer Service explores what Oslo has meant to them since moving to the capital mid-pandemic.

In their own words: "This is a very simple solipsistic mix in the end; a mix of field recordings from long pram walks, bus rides and lullabies, some songs I’ve written to stay sane, and some songs of others that have kept us afloat. And lots of our daughter being a massive beacon of light."

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.

Considerable efforts were expended on this ninth episode to disguise the identity of a veteran secretmonger who pays a visit to the basement antiquarian bookshop where hesitant steps in unravelling the British Library's Suppressed Safe are under way.

Ferreting around, a rare book is discovered which would be dodgy to mention in this blurb. Quite a boring episode if you're not interested in this sort of thing.

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.
