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

The first episode in a series of recorded performances from our live score series, re-imagining scores for obscure and iconic animations. Featuring interviews with saxophonist and sound recordist Martin Clarke, and acclaimed vocal artist Ingrid Plum.

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 is a three hour extract from the festival, featuring sound art, computer music, homemade instruments, DIY electronics, radio play, noise, data sonification, field recordings, radio art, sound studies, historical anchor points, niches, insider tips, and different generations of Cologne's electronic and sound art landscape.

The FUNKT programme was developed under the project management of Georg Dietzler by Anke Eckardt, Claudia Robles-Angel, Dietmar Bonnen, Dirk Specht and Felix Knoblauch, in cooperation with Sarah Washington and Knut Aufermann.

Thanks to sponsors Musikfonds e. V. with project funds from the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media as part of the special programme Neustart Kultur, Kunststiftung NRW (North Rhine-Westphalia Endowment for the Arts), the Cultural Office of the City of Cologne.

FUNKT was a festival of electronic music and sound art from Cologne, which took place on the 16th, 17th and 18th of April 2021.

This show was created by Sunna Margrét (Lausanne) and multimedia artist, Anna Clegg (London).

Margrét’s half of the show, “Lullabies of Lac Léman”, brings together intimate sound recordings and music written by friends and musicians from her neighbourhood in Lausanne. The resulting mix is a captivating glimpse into a thriving art community that has been built on the banks of Lac Léman.

In the second half of the show, Clegg weaves together a personal archive of material spanning from late 2017 to the present day recorded in galleries, cinemas, clubs, bedrooms and buses throughout London.

In her own words: “Seldom used to record directly, my recording device was held outside windows, behind doors or at the back of the room as a DJ played at the front. Caught somewhere between fantasy, impression and occasional embodied reality (there are multiple interferences in the form of my own nervous laugh), the recordings attempt to present a version of time that is malleable, elastic.”

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.

Short Manual is a sound collage program & conceptual mix show with some original production included.

Method, by Anna Zett via reboot.fm 88.4 FM Berlin for radia.

In this spontaneous audio piece Anna Zett explores the interview as a form of monologue and a form of trialogue. It is centered around the artist’s visit at a professional fortune tellers office in Beijing.

She has brought her own deck of modernist tarot cards, he is willing to share his approach to situation analysis and fate calculation according to Chinese traditions. Mediated by a third person who is serving as translator, they enter a conversation about chance.

Anna Zett has written and directed two radio plays for the public radio in Germany, both of them dealing with voice-based oracles and the challenge of communication.

Members of Radia, the international group of independent cultural radio stations, explore new and forgotten ways of making radio.

In this episode, Dronica meets Jody DeSchutter.

Jody DeSchutter is a multi-disciplinary artist hailing from Canada, now living and working in London. She is one half of BAG, a spoken word and sound duo, alongside her partner Dan Allison. DeSchutter writes and performs in conversation with the immersive sound crafted by Allison, the two merging familiar and unknown, and ultimately building new landscapes and contexts.

DeSchutter practices painting and sculpture in tandem with spoken word and sound, working at their intersections and allowing edges to dissolve. She is interested in exploring these 'in between' and ever-shifting spaces.

In this episode, DeSchutter has collaged some favourite and formative work, ideas, and inspirations in anticipation of two BAG albums currently being moulded and burnished: a collaboration with sound and visual artist Charlie Behrens (BAG X BEHRENS) followed by a collaboration with producer, musician, and artist Laima Leyton (BAG).

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

In this episode, Joseph Stannard plays The Haxan Cloak, Faust, Martin Rev, Techno Animal, Teresa Winter, Allison Burik, Creation Rebel, and more.

New music with The Wire Magazine.

Aspects of scuppered research continue to be explored ad nauseam in this fourteenth instalment of Asphyxia, in which the narrator yields to the drift of distractions like a carrier bag in the wind.

This episode boasts not one, but three difficulties: (1) The ongoing hum in the left-channel seemingly spreads to an audio repairperson's own left ear, (2) a fallen tree prompts consideration on the clichéd obstructiveness of those wooden timewasters, and (3) a newspaper report from over a decade ago - heavily critical of Pure Volunteering - is torn apart in still-burning righteous fury.

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.

The River Lea splits and winds its way through the olympic site which continues to rise and rattle around it.

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.

In this episode: soundscrapes and fumbled rhythms are the order of the day this episode, with hulking tracks from Wilted Woman, Nancy Dr0ne and HDMIRROR, and a very special guest mix from NY sound botherer Peter Seligman bringing some ferocity to proceedings.

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

This episode features a mix by Mabe Fratti.
