Running weekly, the series will broadcast the entire catalogue so far in chronological order, continuing here with Revolutionary List (4) Venice Biennale by Museos de la Bomba e Soledad.

"Following the enormous success of the Revolutionary List at Glastonbury Festival in 2020 (purrrrrj004), the Museos Bomba and Soledad convened in Venice on April 23 in 2021, attending to each and every participating artist in the Biennale’s history. This double cassette release covers all of the names beginning with “A” and the sound of ‘the distant pipes’."

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.

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.

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

In this episode Phantom Frequencies, a radio play by Felix Kubin.

The recordings of this programme cannot be trusted. They were made unintentionally or occurred without any human interaction. Some of them – like electromagnetic interferences - can be explained scientifically, others cannot. What connects all of them is their unexpected appearance. These sounds emerged from nothingness – like phantoms. They manifested on old tapes, online streaming channels, disrupted hard discs and broken studio gear, recordings played at the wrong speed or accidentally contaminated by outer signal interferences.

Featuring recordings by Burkhard Friedrich, Dieb13, Diet Schütte, Dorit Chrysler, Mark Vernon, Eli Gras, Florian Bräunlich, Jenny Abouav, Jean-Marc Montera, Jérôme Noetinger, Ken Montgomery, Kiwa, Laura Maes, Marc Hollander, Mary Ocher, Meeuw, Nele Möller, Raul Keller, Richard von der Schulenburg, Scott Haggart, Victoria Keddie, Yoshino and Felix Kubin.

Experiments in exploring humanity with Keno Westhoff of http://klanglabor.ayayay.eu.

The title reflects the number of days Niya had to wait for her first appointment at the Gender Identity Clinic. The wait times have been increasing across the UK, with first appointments now taking anywhere from three to five years. The project consists of three parts, each capturing one-third of the 912-day journey, using a 360 degree camera.

Niya engaged with diverse communities of trans and non- binary people in Birmingham and London through workshops and participatory performances. 912 goes beyond a personal story to resonate with a wider audience, exploring conditions of waiting, frustration, hope, resilience and community support.

The podcast was initially designed as an audio description for visually impaired individuals but has since evolved into a distinct audio experience of its own.

Text by Afrah Allsopp & Niya B. Narration by Asher Fynn. Mixed by Lottie Lou Poulet.

Based on a VR 360 degree video by artist Niya B, 912 is an audio project which delves into the lives of trans and non-binary individuals as they navigate the daily challenge of waiting and carrying on.

Neil Luck is a musician based in the UK. His work takes a range of forms from music-theatre, to concert works, radio, public projects and recordings, and is the founder and director of the experimental music ensemble ARCO.

Eden Box is an album of songs, dances and vérité recordings written and produced largely on the edge of a South German forest. They all play with the process of mediating, editing, and reframing raw acoustic materials, many of which were captured outside and on the hoof. The album title is a reference to the 20th century British artist of the same name (well, their pseudonym) whose naive style brought together ideas of nature, man’s place with it, and christian iconography into strange symbolist compositions.

Additional performers and collaborators:
Binghi (Isheja Cheryl), Adam de la Cour, Monika Czyżyk, Margaret Luck, Chihiro Ono, Benedict Taylor, Athina Vahla.

​
Written, recorded, and produced by Neil Luck. Mastered by Simon Davey at The Exchange. CD artwork Kapha by Monika Czyżyk. Book and case design by Joseph Kohlmaier at Cours de Poétique. Recorded and produced at Akademie Schloss Solitude Stuttgart, EMS Stockholm, Colourscape Clapham, at home in London, and in the woods of Tonbridge.

​
Sensible Activities is an essay, and an illustrated book of musical-sensory exercises to be enacted alone or in groups, outdoors. They all relate to an ongoing live project of Neil’s that has manifested as a series of walks and excursions with willing participants and musicians in various countries around the world.

Several of these activities link directly with particular tracks on Eden Box; track 2 features a prototype activity offered by Athina Vahla during a nighttime walk just outside Stuttgart. Track 3 is a demonstration of leaf blowing (p. 34), and track 6 is an encrusted recording of Neil’s ensemble ARCO testing "Internal Snore Monologue" (p. 20). There are many more indirect and abstract connections, and we consider this CD and book part of the same body of work. It is all, in the end, music.

​Produced and published by Cours de Poétique, whose Extended Scores series responds to the embodied, interdisciplinary, and discursive nature of contemporary music and performance practice by combining essays, documentary material, sound, and moving image with working scores in print and online.

Each copy of Sensible Activities includes access to documentation of the original performances, audio and video content, drawings, and bonus material, and a digital copy of Eden Box.

Eden Box / Sensible Activities is an album and book co-publication by Neil Luck. It is released by and produced in collaboration with Accidental Records and Cours de Poétique. It brings together a body of work from the last two years, broadly exploring contemporary, personal, and mediated ideas around the “pastoral” and the “folkloric”, that has manifested in music, performance, writings, radio, and images. It is then an album, a score, a document, an essay, an archive, an object.

This episode features works by Ashtray Navigations, Mark Groves, Alvarius B, Gabie Strong, Alice Kemp and more.

Sound collage, record spinning, havering, ear wonk and general head scratch with Dylan Nyoukis of the Chocolate Monk label.

Presented by Kayla Painter.

InBetween is Sound Art Brighton's contribution to World Listening Day, the theme this year being Listening to the Weave of Time.

– weaving the soundscapes of our time – the original and the treated, the industrial and the natural, the static and the dynamic. In our foray through the Newhaven Harbour area, along Mill Creek and through the Tide Mills ruins, we discovered sprawling nature sites with birds and insects braving the rainy day and projecting against the noisy backdrop of the busy harbour. As we explore the discordances of this environment through a series of sonic snap shots, sounds shifts from close-to to wide-field, from reality to imagination.

Recording & composition by Chris Sciacca. Production: Chris Sciacca & Kersten Glandien. Consultation: Joshua La Gallienne

Some of the recordings were made with microphones constructed from recycled materials and household scrap.

Broadcasts and new works by Sound Art Brighton, a female and LGBTQ+ artist led organisation dedicated to the support, production and dissemination of sound art. Founded in 2019 as a Brighton-based initiative, the group initially focused on bringing together individuals, institutions and organisations interested in sound art in Brighton and Hove to collaborate on shared activities, culminating in the Sound Art Brighton Festival in March 2022.

Exploration #1 for Two Radios by Kit Beaufoy is the discovery of a beast. A beast that lurks in the electromagnetic waters. A creature formed from the familiar sounds of analogue radio that is awoken by the turning of a dial sending ripples across the radio waves.

Over the course of the piece, the listener is hunted down through the radio, chased by a beast that is not confined to a single frequency and exists all around, silently stalking, watching, waiting until it is illumined by your receiver.

Kit Beaufoy is a London-based artist who works with a series of transmitters and receivers, composing within the radio, in an attempt to reanimate and reframe analogue radio listening in the 21st century.

His work proposes an alternative use for the radio spectrum - as a compositional device that is considered a whole rather than individual monolithic stations separated by static.

Lament for the Old Clock by Harvey Young tells the story of an 18th-century agricultural worker plunged into the vicious new frontier of industrial capitalism who must leave his simple agrarian existence behind and submit to the callous and dehumanising demands of the factory floor.

The piece documents the change in temporality from the feudal notion of cyclical, reverential time to the concept of future-oriented progress that defined the beginning of the industrial revolution. Through extended vocal techniques, found instruments and granulation, Lament for the Old Clock explores this transient yet profound period of temporal and spiritual upheaval.

Harvey Young is a composer, sound artist and writer whose practice centres on temporality, psychogeography and transient structures of political economy. He uses extended vocal techniques, field recordings and found instruments to create acousmatic and electroacoustic works.

Strange Transmissions: The World of Experimental Radio – the label's inaugural live event hosted at London's Cafe OTO – features presentations, discussion and performance exploring contemporary radio practice, curated by in partnership with The Wire Magazine.

Appearing at the event will be Shortwave Collective, Death Is Not The End, Neil Luck and Laurie Tompkins (Duo) and a panel discussion chaired by Emily Bick (The Wire).

Shortwave Collective will share their work on the Open Wave-Receiver, a simple DIY radio. Shortwave Collective is an international group of creative practitioners from various backgrounds and disciplines (sound and radio art, activism, social science, media and artistic research) brought together by an interest in feminist practices and the radio spectrum. The collective’s approach aims to create an inclusive, collaborative, tech-based learning environment, one which acknowledges and attends to gendered education gaps and one that purposefully removes potential hurdles, such as unexplained components lists that assume knowledge.

Death Is Not The End is Luke Owen. Comprising an NTS radio show and record label, DINTE seeks to unearth and bring light to archival music and field recordings with a focus on early gospel, global folk music, soundsystem tapes and various other audio curios. Death Is Not The End's two-volume compilation release of advertisements taken from London pirate radio broadcasts in the mid 80s to early 90s were covered by The Guardian & the New Yorker, and together with multiple pirate radio-focused mixtapes (scanning and spanning the airwaves of 80s-00s Bristol, and contemporary pirate broadcasting in New York) constitute a keen area of interest.

Performers and composers Neil Luck & Laurie Tompkins share a new body of work for 2 brazen voices and electronics. Conceived during an intense and remote period of cohabitation on the Isle of Wight their duo trades in strange communications, broken conversations, weird interferences, and mis-heard genre tropes.

Live broadcasts and releases by World Service, an avant-radio label founded in 2024 by Glasgow-based artist and curator Max Syedtollan with the aim of documenting work made specifically for the medium, with an emphasis on audio drama.

New music with The Wire Magazine.

This episode is a contribution by Radio One 91FM.

Stopcock was recorded July-August 2023, with malfunctioning Walkmans playing loose parts of themselves (speakers) rather than cassettes.

Clinton Green makes something akin to music. He has been active in Australian experimental music since the 1990s as a recording and performing artist, curator, facilitator, writer and researcher. He has worked with unconventional approaches to guitars, turntables and found objects as tools for new forms of musical expression.

He has also worked with dancers, theatre and performance artists in improvised collaborative situations, and has developed a performance practice incorporating projections. Clinton runs the Shame File Music label and writes on/researches historical and contemporary aspects of Australian experimental music. He has completed artist residencies in Taiwan (2015) and Cradle Mountain, Tasmania (2017), and has performed/exhibited in Canada, Germany, Spain, Japan, Taiwan, New Zealand, and throughout Australia.

His current interests include using deconstructed Walkmans as beat-generating machines, and processing text via compositional procedures and cassettes.
