A selection of new experimental music and sound work from the international underground network Unexplained Sounds, curated by Raffaele Pezzella (Sonologyst).

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

In this episode we speak to baroque pop pianist and composer Laura McGarrigle, otherwise known as Gaze is Ghost. following her recent singles Wild Geese / Feather & Bone, and preceding new album Lapis Cobalt Indigo Blue. Her recent collaboration with poet Nikki Marrone, Lifelines, is given its full-length radio debut.

The latter half of the show collects together left-field pop gems, jazz and sound collages from some of our favourite artists, friends and associates. Presented by Theresa Elflein and Wesley Freeman-Smith.

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.

Communiques from Thanet Tape Centre, Hard drive sludge. audio tidal pools. Music sediment. Friends utterances, sea walls of noise, salt marsh drone.

The river now fragments, takes on aliases and spreads out over the uneven ground, creating islands and hidden inlets, creeks and islands for us to discover along hidden paths.

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.

In this episode, get ready to listen to the weirdest and most mind-blowing covers and drifts of Bette Davis Eyes by Kim Carnes. There's no order, no lists, only stilted and exclusive material. Featuring special guest Mary Posa.

Autotune voices, cumbia rythms, plunderphonics minds, contemporary grunges, unrestrained accelerationists, wonderful and clever butterflies,… 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).

Asphyxia's delirium continues in this episode with excerpts from a 1921 paranoid etymological tract - 'Puss in Pye Corner' - jutting into commuter-friendly low-budget podcast matter and dictaphonics.

Finally, a chance to inspect a British Library Suppressed Safe book is presented: 'Diving for Treasure' (1926) by G. Williams. Meanwhile, BBC Radio 4 implodes under its own gravitas, birthing a new star in the form of 'spoken word newspaper reports' from the early 2000s.

These mishaps befalling the narrator - filtered through newspaper bastardy - rehash quondam-embarrassments associated with bin-diving and aggressive Pure Volunteering.

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.

This episode of Third Space features sonic explorations of Brussels and Manchester, with field recordings and local music curated and compiled by Adriaan de Roover and Hayley Suviste. In the first hour, Adriaan walks us through the Belgian capital via found sounds and music.

In a novel take on the Third Space format, the musical elements of Adriaan's mix have been drawn from a single artist - Brussels hip hop collective, STIKSTOF - whose work he has sampled and stretched into beautiful ambient pieces.

The second half of the show sees Hayley Suviste weave an assortment of standout tracks from Manchester's kinetic electronic music scene through a tapestry of sonic portraits documenting the city's ever-changing landscapes - from its near-wild edgelands to the heart of its inner-city development projects.

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 explores sounds from various fields of music from the city, with the addition of texts written and read by contemporary artist Thanasis Apostolou.

Explorations of the inner city sounds of Athens and surrounding areas through lucid soundscapes and site-specific transmissions.

William Fields explores the potential of algorithmic music through the process of recreating (and inventing?) genres with his musical operating system.

In this episode, Dronica meets Robbie Judkins, who has created a mix for the show.

Robbie Judkins is a composer, performer and DJ. He works under the name Left Hand Cuts off the Right; an outlet for exploratory methods and composition mixing zither, repetition, noise, bent electronics, piano and field recordings. He is the host of Parallax View on Threads Radio and creator of Animal Sounds on Resonance FM. His work has been featured in the ICA, Barbican, Wire Magazine, Cafe Oto, NTS, Whitechapel Gallery, Brachliegen Tapes and more.

The programme is a selection of sound and music that remain a source of inspiration and intrigue, have recently brought me joy or solace or have been made by those close to me. Traditional music, cyclical riffs, crackling and humming ambient, shining and shimmering noise, vast dub, pensive harmonies, strange grooves and more. Including Anne Briggs, Laaraji, Black to Comm, Lee Perry, Autopsy, Junior Kimbrough and more.

Nicola Serra, founder of East London's experimental music festival Dronica, presents new and archival material.

In this episode, a hearty round of experimental sounds and music, and an extra-special guest mix from Berlin-based Nancy Drone.

Tracks from across the spectrum of electronic and computer music, with Calum Gunn of Conditional.

In summer 2023, George experienced a ruptured eardrum that made working with headphones or stereo sound temporarily impossible. So, when visiting Argyll in August, he decided to field record with equipment that could be monitored with one ear, or not at all.

All edits are 'in camera' and he deployed a wide range of extended micing techniques to change the quality of the audio. Starting on the ferry to Dunoon and ending at Glasgow Central Station, Argyll distills the whole three-day trip sequentially into one saturated object.

Argyll is a field recording sound object created by sound artist George Rayner-Law. It consists of recordings made directly to cassette in Argyll, Scotland.

In this episode, 'Penghu 2008' by Yannick Dauby:

"A group of volcanic islands located in the Taiwan Strait, swept by violent winds during the wintertime. Some traditional habitats are - or were - remaining: built with blocks of dried coral, they follow precise rules of Chinese architecture and high level of craftsmanship. Most of them were destroyed or simply abandoned to the invasive species of vegetation.

The recordings presented here were part of a personal survey of those constructions, which led to a book-CD entitled 'Villages, Vestiges' by myself and Wan-Shuen Tsai."

Yannick Dauby has been working with microphones and audio since 1998, based in Taiwan since 2007. Engaged into the environments of this island through field recording, audio documentaries, and community activities. Projects based on experimental practices, informed by ethnography and ecology, about the non-humans lifeforms, their habitats, their relations to human cultures. Designing sound for fiction, documentary and experimental films, contemporary dance, and architectural spaces.

Stéphane Marin presents a weekly series of fifteen short soundscapes recorded in the mornings at various locations throughout East Asia. This series for Resonance Extra 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 Natsume Soseki’s poem “My eyes lift to see / A sky that is entirely / magnolia blooms”.

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.

"gnarled roots exposed on mud-moss banks picking through pottery shards

bird songs ring river

river sky fills

moon swims electric

through (t)rains weft-warp current"

Two 15-minute field recordings placed side by side, the first taken on the banks of the River Ching, Epping Forest, a tributary of the River Lea, along which the second recording was made during a storm over Hackney Marshes.

Various sonic techniques were then used to tune into these recordings, obfuscating and teasing out sound patterns, tracing echoes, creating confluences. Additional stump thumping and railing rhythms by Helen Frosi.

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.

60 minutes of vivid aural excitement mixed by Ian Murphy.
