A Mixtape Radio #1 - The Kite and the Storm ▾
Joe and Chanelle’s audio recordings encompass ambient sounds, conversation, experimental composition and improvised instrumental response. Cassette drones, loop pedals, voice and guitar are used to echo, mimic or bend over bird calls, thunderstorms, night sounds, indistinguishable chatter, museum reverberations and urban movement. These moments captured to tape are presented in two halves as an A-side/B-side format.
Enriched by visual counterpoints for each episode, Bruna’s critical eye forms an ambiguous tonal narrative from Jake's method of stumbling into excellence. Mountain, valley, glacier, and urban horizon are presented in stereo format, to parallel the A-side/B-side format.
This program has been made on the stolen lands of the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, we pay respect to the Elders both past and present.
Project lead and sound by Joe Wilson and Chanelle Collier. Creative direction by Bruna Volpi. Photography by Jake Terrey.
Supported by Higher Ground Studios.
This episode was made as part of the Bundanon Trust artists in residence programme, and has been performed live at the Bundanon Museum. The Museum is on the stolen land of the Dharawal and Dhurga language groups.

The Wind and the Sun. Playing the cassette BUN 2_8 Side A. In the grassy field where the kangaroos gather at dusk; a HEAVY wind. The Mona Lisa, a heavy kite. SOUND and sun blaring. Kite flyers running. Skin tingling. A concert to nature. Satisfying exhaustion. – Joe Wilson
Side B – The Storm
- Field Recording of a thunderstorm made on Residency at Bundanon Trust, August - October 2023, Development # 3 & 4.
A Personal Note, a Broken Heart, a Broken Body. Bundanon, a gully flat. Surrounded by hills. The storm is caught on the high rocks and is flung around the encroaching bushland. The lightning sheers across the last of the evening’s sunlight, across the way, a distance. The thunder chases the light, the sound chases the cut sky. Drawing closer. Volume rising. Bright white cracks become total for an instant. Birds continue to sing. Trees fall. – Joe Wilson

Radia #1009 - Kaggen by Pä ▾
This episode is a contribution by Radio Zero, Lisboa.
Kaggen is a demiurge and folk hero of the San people of Southern Africa. He is a trickster god who can shape shift, usually taking the form of a praying mantis but also a bull eland, a louse, a snake, and a caterpillar.
This piece — inspired by this entity and informed by the elementary principles of neural synthesis — consists of a collage stemming from a series of recording sessions, employing both field recordings and phrases/ phonemes generated by a circuit of analogue components arranged in order to achieve self-generative feedbacks.
pä (Paulo da Fonseca and Filipa Campos) started making music as a duo in Lisbon, back in 2015. The sound sources/ studying tools they took on consisted mainly of analogue synthesizers. From then on, pä has become a place of ongoing study, research and experimentation blending historically informed electroacoustic music, poetry, field recordings, graphic design, deep listening music and sound installations.
Members of Radia, the international group of independent cultural radio stations, explore new and forgotten ways of making radio.

Shuffle by Agnès Pe is a formula radio programme taken to the extreme: repetitive, obscure and humorous. Each episode presents obscure covers of a single song. “Anything that spreads by imitation or spreads by bodily reproduction, like genes, or by viral infection is a meme” - (Richard Dawkins, 2013).
