Quarterly noise from SubPhonics exploring themes of collaborative sound and performance.

Embarking on a journey along hydrobodies - from the deep ocean’s abyssal planes all the way through the Mississippi river, outwards into Indonesian tropical rainforests – Sonic Traces expands on my personal inquiries and journey as an activist and researcher. It sets out to expose how the traces of pollution - be they sonic or chemical - travel through watery spaces, impacting communities across ecosystems. Taking the form of a speculative dérive, it includes field recordings, poetry, field notes, and philosophical wonders.

I address research developed in the Lower Mississippi river petrochemical corridor, North Kalimantan in Borneo island, as well as introduce my practice as an activist concerned with deep sea mining and the impacts of ocean noise. I enquire how the water column is affected by chemical particles circulating through it, as new industries arise and expand from the seabed outwards towards land, tracing some of the cumulative impacts of human presence, while raising awareness into how one is embedded in wider webs of ecosystemic exchange.

For what if one were set to understand watery systems in novel ways that reorganize how one senses and partakes in the world?

Expanding on how traces bear witness to past actions and leave an intergenerational imprint, I explore the complex condition of partition-thinking in natural worlds, problematising human-centric ideas of containment and fixity, in otherwise fluid and interconnected spaces. By doing so, I expand on our conceptualisation of space and corporeality to introduce new perspectives on environmental thinking.

This episode is dedicated to the folk music of the indigenous peoples of Russia. On the territory of the Russian Federation, according to the latest data, there are 193 peoples who speak 277 languages and dialects. In its time, the Soviet major label Melodiya did a huge amount of work trying to record the traditional music of many regions, travelling thousands of kilometres on ethnographic expeditions.

Many records released in the wake of those trips are now rare artefacts. I can say the same about digitised copies - there are not many music files on the web, which somewhat limits the breadth of modern research.

Even so, an hour-long episode cannot contain even a tenth of the folklore music that was released on Melodiya. I worked with broad strokes, showing the music of only 20 indigenous peoples of the country – including the Pooziorets of Vitebsk. We hear traditional tunes from the westernmost region - Karelia. Then, we listen to the cheerful sunny melodies of the peoples of the Volga region, the free music of Kalmykia and the North Caucasus, and delve into the cold shamanic rhythms of the Far North.

Uzbekistan-based DJ and boss of the experimental TOPOT label Eugenie Galochkin presents rare vinyl rips from the Soviet Melodia label. Melodia has released music from all around the world: from obscure Baltic electronica and free jazz from Siberia; to synth-pop from Tajikistan and academic avant-garde from Ukraine. The series will explore how national and cultural characteristics are embedded in musical language.

Inspired by — mostly MMORPG — game soundtracks, this mix is the Councils anti-metaverse-hype (enabling of digital scarcity and installation of a virtual absolute global order of property coinciding with the thirst for annihilation), nostalgia factory composed of SuidAkra covers, Ultima Online PvP sounds x Iced Earth mash-ups and, SCORCHER OST (if you know, you know - I could barely manage to make this not solely composed of this) & music to read Dragonlance to.

This episode was created entirely by the AI. Stop! Not quite. There was a painstaking search and editing process. And all the lyrics were handwritten by Drone Operatør. But yes, all the music here was invented by a machine brain. Of course it learned from humans. Illegal data extraction, blah blah blah....

But this is it. Here we are! When the cold, damp smell of the rehearsal room hits your nose and the smoky, smelly pub concert creeps into your brain, just enjoy the ride. You've never understood exactly how sound travels on radio waves, to begin with, so what? This is our testament. The AI testament.
