A visit is paid to the National Archives to view a document redacted to the point of insignificance, some Pure Volunteering is enacted, and attempts to meditate upon noise annoyances are experimentalised.

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.

Cosmic, transcendent sounds and exploratory electronics with f.ampism.

L’amour toujours also named "I'll Fly with You" is a song co-written and recorded by the Italian DJ Gigi D'Agostino. The title "L'amour toujours" means "love every day" in French. However, the song is recorded entirely in English and the title does not appear in the lyrics.

The song was released to American clubs and dance radio in July 2000. In Europe, the song was released in October 2000. The song is from D'Agostino's 1999 album of the same name. Ola Onabule is the vocalist of this song. He performs all the vocals on the track and on all versions of the song. In 2001, the song became extremely popular in the American dance club scene. It became an international success and a huge hit throughout Europe, Latin America and Asia.

In this edition of Shuffle, get ready to listen to the most weird and mind-blowing covers and drifts of “L’amour toujours“ from the inventor of lento violento, Gigi d’Agostino. There's no order, no lists, just exclusive, overwrought fandom material. Marching bands, violinists, catholics, life lovers, soundcloud stars, ambient addicts, ... all are welcome in Shuffle mode.

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

Today’s episode is Kittiwake Triptych No. 1: Cullernose.

This is the third of a triptych of recordings of my walking to “the same place” – a Kittiwake colony – twenty minutes sitting at the place and my walking away back to my starting point. The three “same places” are one in rural Newfoundland and two in rural Northumberland. At each site, on another day, or at a different time of the same day, each recording would have been different.

They also interpreted and adapted the text to the stage with the help of the dramaturge Simon Hatab and the French theatre collective La Phenomena, in a dialogue with the work of Jean-Jacques Rousseau and the philosopher Jacques Rancière, as well as the music of Mozart in The Marriage of Figaro (1786), culminating in a performance at Sands Films Studio in London.

An audio essay and documentary which follows a group of students from King’s College London as they translate The Manifesto of Equals (1796) by Sylvain Maréchal from one language, time and context into another, but also to the stage in the presentation of Performing Utopia. Written and produced by Patrick Bernard, it explores how politics, theatre and translation transform our understanding of the world, and reflect a desire to make words and ideas manifest.
