RadioActive - on Water #6 - Liquidation by Meira Asher

There is currently a structural water crisis in the Palestinian Occupied Jordan Valley. Not a climate or geographical water crisis, a deliberate socially and politically engineered crisis. Israel, since it invaded the West Bank in 1967, controls every public aspect of civilian life in the Jordan Valley. Israel administers two populations, the Israeli settlers and the indigenous Palestinian residents. Israel deliberately and strategically deprives Palestinian farming communities of access to fresh, clean and reliable water supplies, water that is needed for crops and herds, as well as for the Palestinian farmers and herders.

This can mean either not permitting them to be connected to municipal water supplies, despite the Israeli settlers having such access. It also entails not permitting Palestinian people to sink new wells on their own land, and blocking their access to existing wells and springs, either by fencing off the water source or destroying pipes bringing the water to the herders and farmers. The end result is frequently that either the farmers have to pay extortionate prices to purchase water from the Palestinian authority, or if they cannot afford this option they are forced to abandon their land and way of life.

Featuring the water truck driver, co-activists Natasha and Nitsan, shepherds community of Khalet Makhul, shepherd ‘W’, shepherds community of Hirbet Samra and Aref Daragmah. Translation from Arabic: Laila Abd El-Razaq. Introductory text: Liam Evans

Meira Asher is a composer, performer and human rights activist. She primarily uses the medium of sound-art and radio-art. Graduate of CalArts and KonCon, she was co-founder of the Bodylab art foundation with Guy Harries (2001-11), where they produced several projects including Infantry and Woman See Lot of Things. Former lecturer at University of Haifa's Art School (2012-2022) and producer of the independent radio-art show radioart106. since 2014.

Her works have been released on Crammed, Sub Rosa, Auditorium, Raash Records and Ultima Ratio labels. Her recent works include Antonin Artaud’s radio essay To Have Done with the Judgement of God, Sonic Voyage of Resistance for Radio Art Zone 2022, and the Catastrophe trilogy by duo Asher.Zax featuring Dave Phillips, Ensemble Musica Nova, and more.


A six-part series by Meira Asher and Stephen Shiell exploring the interactions between transmission, sound, activism and water. Each episode is created by a different artist or group who engage with water politics and the politics of listening through the medium of radio.

In this edition of Shuffle, get ready to listen to the weirdest and most mind-blowing covers and drifts of Tina Turner's Private Dancer. There's no order, no lists, only stilted and exclusive material.

Shuffle by Agnès Pe is a formula radio programme taken to the extreme: repetitive, obscure and humorous.

Kinn Presents #7 - Mark Leckey & Kinn: All of That Which Converges Beneath The Bridge

In this show, Mark Leckey entrusts Kinn with re-contextualising several of the Turner Prize-winning artist’s works from 1999-2021. From his recent commission at the Tate Britain, O’Magic Power of Bleakness (2019) which was released on vinyl by Boomkat earlier this year, to his greatly influential Dream English Kid, 1964 - 1999 AD (2015) and Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore (1999).

Providing Kinn with access to his archive, Kinn began extracting the audio from his films, re-harmonising and sampling moments that possessed “musical potential” or "evocative phrasing" and transforming them into instruments which he then wrote the album with, delving into the contemporary artist’s conceptual framework as inspiration for the music.

The result is Mark Leckey’s career-spanning vision translated into the format of music, his favoured themes of nostalgia, dread and anxiety are exaggerated and punctuated by bold and articulate musical expression, providing an emotionally rich auditory journey which fans of both artist’s works will recognise and love. Resonance Extra premiers this collaborative work as more of an album transmission akin to the early days of John Peel Sessions rather than a radio DJ mix.

Kinn describes the work as “sitting firmly in the middle of my last record (Anamnesis Landscape, released on First Light Records last year) and where I am moving forward with my sound, a schism of classic instrumentation and harmony being enhanced by contemporary sound design, Albini-fan-boy recording techniques and studio wizardry”.

Also features additional instrumentation by Will Langstone (Cello) & Louis Giannamore (Percussion).


Channelling an array of fervent interests in many genres through different mediums (Film, Music, Sound Art and more), Kinn - the brooding-electronics project of London based artist Freddy Lomas - and his guests use original soundscapes and compositions to weave together an original concept for each month's show.

ENGLAND'S COUNCIL OF LEGISLATION AND GOVERNING BODY OF HYPERREAL SIMULATIONS AND CONSTRUCTS #2 - Song of Songs: Sampling From the Unified Field of Arts

"again finished in the morning, the new mix is featuring tracks where i messed up the code and instead of artificial intelligence/GANsynth minstrels playing gittern it drifts in and out digital noise + ml generated happy hardcore tunes i nicked from secret hacker discord socities, some panharmonium ambient/modular ramblings, garden party jams with annoying neighbours (the other day my annoying neighbours were having a garden party -and im the one who supposedly is loud- and a song they were playing were in sync with my sketch.

i tried to record but failing i knocked their door and telling the situation they told me the track name but i asked for them to play it one more time but louder so i can record it from my room with the bird sounds involved cause it initially was like that, though when i played it back from my window they texted me to tell that it sucks) and even relatively a four-on-the-floor-ish tune from the upcoming album - which strongly resembles another alias and therefore am a bit reluctant about. the title 'Song of Songs' is inspired by the British Surrealist artist, Ithell Colquhoun. war x"
