This episode explores the use of rhythm in improvised music, and how we’ve been looking to it to inform and alter our approach to music making. We have a release coming up on Discreet Archive (Instagram) of quieter and more reflective pieces.

There is currently a structural water crisis in the Palestinian Occupied Jordan Valley. Not a climate or geographical water crisis, a deliberate socially and politically engineered crisis. Israel, since it invaded the West Bank in 1967, controls every public aspect of civilian life in the Jordan Valley. Israel administers two populations, the Israeli settlers and the indigenous Palestinian residents. Israel deliberately and strategically deprives Palestinian farming communities of access to fresh, clean and reliable water supplies, water that is needed for crops and herds, as well as for the Palestinian farmers and herders.

This can mean either not permitting them to be connected to municipal water supplies, despite the Israeli settlers having such access. It also entails not permitting Palestinian people to sink new wells on their own land, and blocking their access to existing wells and springs, either by fencing off the water source or destroying pipes bringing the water to the herders and farmers. The end result is frequently that either the farmers have to pay extortionate prices to purchase water from the Palestinian authority, or if they cannot afford this option they are forced to abandon their land and way of life.

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.

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.

A special mix by Tbilisi-based sound artist and producer Aghnie.

Named after one of my favorite hip-hop pieces (by Mantronik vs. EPMD) and inspired by an enquiry – during an ice-cold dialogue with an acquaintance in front of a vault in an auction house located in central London – about which piece I would never consider selling, this mix is a personal study of my relationship with the financial world of art and with who and how we share our 'art'.
