This series for Resonance Extra is the first time much of the label's catalogue has been available to hear outside of its material form. It accepts the invitation by Resonance on the basis that none of these sounds are stored. If you want to hear it you need to be able to access the radio at midnight BST every Thursday.

Running weekly, the series will broadcast the entire catalogue so far in chronological order, continuing here with Dirk Schaefer's Peter Tscherkassky, All the Soundtracks.

"The original soundtracks by Dirk Schaefer for the films of Peter Tscherkassky. Newly mastered and available for the first time, this boxset covers the heroic partnership of schaefer and tscherkassky, from 2005’s instructions for a light and sound machine through to the forthcoming train again in 2021. Each 12” double vinyl album comes with a 7” flexi disc of Tscherkassky’s own soundtrack for outer space".

purge.xxx releases music. It has been celebrated by The Wire magazine for its ‘disregard for the music industry, self-promotion and prevailing cultural norms,’ and an ‘ability to elevate distinct works and the obscure artists behind them.’ purge.xxx only releases music physically, unless a digital alternative has specifically been requested by a collaborating artist. It considers even the recording a compromise, but advocates things.

The parking garage is a the "inferno of the same" (the agony of eros). It is a labyrinth in which the ceiling is often the floor, a schizophrenic environment that does not allow the face to be recognized. The(se) structures or modern functional ruins are a global phenomenon and in most cases duplicate a common design. In this way the parking garage can act as a portal, an access point into multi-linear spaces (this way amd/or that). All parking garages comprise a kind of universal parking garage, when we are in one parking garage we are in all parking garages.
The global effects of the internet have displaced direction and have effectually erased all horizons. The rhizomatic connections of the internet, a(nother) decentralized and/or multicentered domain.
