This episode marks the release of River . Pathway . Static, upcoming album by Stephan Barrett and Sylvia Hallett produced by Colliding Lines.

The two musicians find themselves nestled within field recordings of the River Lea, Tottenham Marshes, and Downhills Park, drawing the listener between the cracks and into hidden corners; into the rich background worlds that surround us daily. The two musicians first met and collaborated as part of Littoral Transmissions, a broadcast with Stephan here on Resonance Extra.

For Sylvia, whose musical approach can be best described as “violin moving outwards,” to bowed bicycle wheel and vinery, this piece follows Tree Time and Bolt and Latch. For Stephan this follows on from sound collage and invented language project The Abrasion Tapes, from long distant collaboration Blitemotes.

We round out with a replay of live work performed and composed as part of 2020’s live series Reanimation, which featured artists Ingrid Plum, Bell Lungs, Martin Clarke with Derek Yau, and Merlin Nova to name a few.

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.

In this episode, Dronica meets artist and musician Penelope Trappes.:

"Deva in Sanskrit means "heavenly, divine, anything of excellence". It is this mantra, sublimely interpreted within Alice Coltrane’s track Deva Deva, that I wanted to be the focus for my mix. The state of the world right now is beyond words. I hope that the music within this mix can remind us all to hold onto Love and show us that it still exists.

The first hour I have collated artists who inspire me to continue to look to the light. The last half is my Mother’s Blood album.
I believe it is the power of creativity that unites us all in life. I dedicate this mix to the people of the Ukraine and to world peace."

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

Armen is a sound work and collection related to diasporic music which Andrius Arutiunian has been developing since 2016. It traces obscure Armenian disco releases from the 80s, remakes little-known pop songs from different parts of the Armenian diaspora, and navigates this treacherous sonic field in polyphonous, and sometimes contradictory ways. Armen is also a homage to one of the most common Armenian names.

In 2017 an iteration of Armen was published as a vinyl release. As writer Monika Kalinauskaitė wrote in her text for this publication: “But right now, at this moment, on a rug, in a car, by the monotonous music machine, the only circles you draw are your first ones, spinning the body and thought, breaking the world’s axis into millions of dancing small figures. You may as well hear of those rivers – it’s a miracle, but they reach everywhere, populating the world with gold-headed fish. Only blood and bodies alter their flows, oh look, we are now trapped in an island that was not here before, I believe we are also humming songs we never knew, but somehow remember.”

Andrius Arutiunian is a sound artist and composer based in the Netherlands. He works through sound and hybrid forms of media, with a particular interest in sonic artefacts, aural identities, and digital, automated technologies.

Sonic dissent, alternate modes of political and musical organisation, and playful investigation of esoteric and vernacular histories form Arutiunian’s most recent works. Using hypnotic and enigmatic forms, Arutiunian’s works often question the notion of musical and political attunement.

In 2022 Andrius Arutiunian represented Armenia at the 59th Venice Art Biennale with a solo show entitled Gharīb. Other recent solo shows include Counterfates (Meduza Vilnius, 2023) Diaphonics (Centrala Birmingham, 2023), and Incantations (CTM and Silent Green, Berlin, 2021).
