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.

Debut LP by Dutch vocalist Janneke van der Putten. Her voice emerges from deeper grounds, shaping the acoustic aura of architectural and natural spaces, exploring the limits of vocal techniques through site-specific performances. Becoming siren, becoming storm, a rose of resonance for a new world.



Janneke van der Putten (Amsterdam, 1985) is a visual artist and vocalist based in Rotterdam. Her voice is her main tool, guiding her through physical and sonic explorations in different landscapes. In her site-specific performances she uses extreme vocal techniques and architectural features to relate with the here and now.

Janneke is autodidact in various extended vocal techniques and studied North-Indian Dhrupad singing with Amelia Cuni and Marianne Svašek (Berlin & Rotterdam, 2009 – 2014). She completed her MMus in Artistic Research, Royal Academy of Art & Royal Conservatoire (The Hague, 2013) and her BDes in TXT (Textile), Gerrit Rietveld Academy (Amsterdam, 2009).

Solo exhibitions include: ‘All Begins with A’, TENT, Rotterdam, 2015; ‘Directed to the Sun’, Quartier am Hafen, Cologne, 2017; ‘Quitsa’, CINNNAMON, Rotterdam, 2017; and duo-show ‘[to]’, Kunstraum 34, Stuttgart, 2020. Her solo debut album ‘JNNK’ was released on the June 21st Solstice 2023. Her previous album was made together with Sajjra Xhrs Galarreta (PE) for their project 'Invisible Architecture' (Aloardi, 2015). Other composers Janneke collaborated with are Budhaditya Chattopadhyay (IN), Werner Durand (DE), Yvan Etienne (FR), Philemon Mukarno (ID/ NL), Rory Pilgrim (UK) and Marcus Schmickler (DE).

In this episode, Nathaniel Mann and Carlos Monleon discuss the activation of different bodies of knowledge and efforts of riverine conservation involved in the process of River Breathing.

River Breathing is an immersive sound installation in which the audience can experience the breathing of the rivers Ebro, Segre and other affluents as a symphony composed of the life cycles of the various species that participate in the pulse of the river. The protagonists of the installation are a choir of naiads, or freshwater clams, which are endangered throughout the Iberian Peninsula but especially in Catalonia and Aragon due to the relentless denaturing of their habitats ,the threat of several invasive (let's call them vigorous!) species, and increasing levels of river pollution.

This choir embodies and gives voice to the river, as the mythological Naiads -spirits of fountains and rivers in ancient Greece- once did. The work transforms scientific models of the metabolism of the Ebro river and its affluents based on historical and real-time data available through sensors and remote sensing systems into multi-channel sound in collaboration with musicians and the help of computer scientists from the UdL (University of Lleida) and biologists from IRTA (Catalunya) and IPE (Aragón).

A series of metabolic scores are produced from the data to be interpreted by musicians , the final composition is completed with underwater recordings of the clams in their conservation tanks. The installation consists of a sculptural sound system made in ceramics and other materials designed in collaboration with sound engineers. A lighting scheme completes the installation.

One of the project’s aims is to make known the complexity of the life of rivers and the delicate nature of maintaining their balance as a way of establishing a relationship of proximity with them and forming emotional bonds of care and responsibility with riparian ecosystems.

Scientific advisor: Rosa Maria Gil. River ecology: Enrique Navarro and Francisco Comín. Clam conservation work: Keiko Nakamura. Sound composition and lighting: Santiago Latorre. Castanets: Miguel Ángel Berna.

Carlos Monleon works with a variety of processes and materials, both living and non-living, that result in sculptural and participatory artworks.These span across different levels of bodily sensation and awareness; from the microbiological to the performative and social bodies. His main line of work traces evolutionary processes that stem from digestion and cognition and result in the distribution of biological processes across multi-species entanglements and cybernetic metabolisms.

Carlos has developed collaborative projects at spaces such as Autoitalia, Seventeen Gallery and Diaspore Project Space, London, Cráter Invertido, Mexico, Hangar, Lisbon as well as institutions such as CA2M, and Matadero, Madrid, HIAP Helsinki, and has shown his individual practice at LUMA Arles, Z33, Istanbul Design Biennial, Porto Design Biennial or the Tallin Biennial amongst others.

Nathaniel Mann (born 1982) is an experimental composer, performer and sound designer. Oscillating between music and sound, Mann has a compositional practice that is expansive in scope and varied in form. He takes on many roles in his work, including researcher, instrument-maker, archive-digger, surround-sound designer, filmmaker, broadcaster, storyteller, producer, curator, entrepreneur, sonic-artist and folksinger. He is also one third of the experimental folk ensemble, Dead Rat Orchestra.

Mann’s compositions probe history, politics and audio culture, resisting established formats and frameworks for creating music. Each work is crafted, adapted and nuanced towards its setting, fuelled by continued dialogue and collaboration with professionals and enthusiasts from varied fields. These have included filmmakers, musicians, visual artists, academics, curators, a pigeon fancier and a swordsmith.

Mann has explored many subjects including the colonial residue of recorded music in South Africa, in dialogue with Andile Vellum, a deaf dancer/choreographer based in Cape Town (Cape Sound Stories, 2016); the psycho-geographic horror of England’s public execution sites (Tyburnia, 2014-17); and the deeply rooted traditions interlinking noise and social control, creating bronze musical meat cleavers with swordsmith Neil Burridge (Rough Music, 2014). He was awarded the Paul Hamlyn Award 2019, Arts Foundation Fellow 2018 and his work Pigeon Whistles (2013), a flying orchestra of flute-carrying Birmingham Roller pigeons, won the George Butterworth Prize for Composition in 2015.

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).

A rough 'n’ rusty ride episode with industrial, backroom screamers and seven headed drone pistachios.

Some light moments here and there to level up the mood but it’s a scraggy affair on this one, clunky tape loops, screams, glitchy drones and dank cave jams, unstable cardiophonics.

Musical sketches by ENGLAND'S COUNCIL OF LEGISLATION AND GOVERNING BODY OF HYPER REAL SIMULATIONS AND CONSTRUCTS is a monthly mix of curation, recompilation and pseudepigrapha.

This episode explores the profound human inclination to envision narratives, utopias, and potential realities. It draws parallels to Filippo Tommaso Marinetti's The Founding and Manifesto of Futurism (1909), which championed the idea of relinquishing the past in favour of future possibilities, as well as the insights of Nick Montfort, poet, digital media artist, and creative computing specialist, who posits that the future ought to be constructed rather than merely anticipated.

Accordingly, this musical composition seeks to craft a narrative that aligns with the concepts Montfort presents in The Future (The MIT Press Essential Knowledge), offering a poetic understanding of the future from an artistic (sound) lens.

Mitamine Lab is a culture laboratory based in Mexico City which blends sound archives with contemporary music and literature.

The 10th of May 2024 – Bodensee, a lake which separates Germany from Switzerland. Above the dark and still waters, the majestuaous aurora borealis is visible in all it's splendour. At the shoreline of the same lake, just a few hours before the electromagnetic solar storm carressed the earth, sound artists Gérald Wang and Sebastian Dingens gave the workshop The Revolution Will Not Be Digitalised, in which they returned to the roots of radio; analog technologie, live creation and electromagnetic communication.

In retrospect, the program sounds almost as a forecast of the upcoming events; With the use of any analog tools, we will explore the possibilities of the analog world, to make creative radio. From tape to vinyl, analog wireless transmission and echos from space. We will develop a setup, to perform together in a radio show. 25 radiopeople, professionals and amateurs, particpated. What you are about to hear is the almost intact registration of the final presentation, recorded on tape.

The Revolution Will Not Be Digitalised - Learn how not to use a computer for making creative radio In this world, computers are everywhere.

It's becoming very simple to broadcast from anywhere, using the tool everyone have in the pocket. But what if we try something else? With the use of any analog tools, we will enjoy the possibilities that offer the analog world to make creative radio. From tape to vinyl, to analog wireless transmission and echo from space. We will develop a setup, to perform together in a radio show.
