With the financial year rolling over, we here at SubPhonics HQ are on a drive towards fiscal growth! Through noise! We invite you to join us on an hour long journey through beautiful soundscapes, sound art madness, free improv mastery, divine vibes, post-post-modern meanderings, and maybe a little romance? Who knows? You will! If you listen here!

We are actively looking to expand our group of collaborators and more permanent members, If you’d like to work with us or would like to book us for a show then please contact Jamie on hello@subphonics.com.

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 mix is a collection of songs that I have been listening to these days, and some pieces are from commissioned-but-unaired mixtapes. It's a celebration for friendship, for persistence, for change, for hard-listening music and a memorial for the loved ones who passed away recently.” - Başar Ünder

Let’s bring some new questions to our radio making

Where do we live? Where is my horse? Where comes the air from? How to build healthy relationships? Wie viele Leute kennst du hier? Is there a silent place here? Warum? Warum gerade jetzt? Why am I here? Welche Eissorte? Warum? When is it 17 o‘ clock? Where is my horse? What do I hear? Where do you live? What sound do you like to hear when falling asleep?

Perhaps we won’t find all the answers this time, but there is always next year, by the lake.

In this edition of Shuffle, get ready to listen to the weirdest and most mind-blowing covers and drifts of Tina Turner's Private Dancer. There's no order, no lists, only stilted and exclusive material. Public and private dancers, non-binary voices, Finnish superstars, peaches, orchestras, strong women, workers who hate their jobs … all are welcome in Shuffle formula radio mode.

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).

In this show, a guest mix by O A K M I L K.

O A K M I L K is Maxim Walker, currently based in Leipzig, Germany. Born in Perpignan, France to a Belgian mother and Australian/British father - he is both a sound and visual artist who currently hosts a monthly radio show on Sphere Radio entitled “Frothed Nucleon’s Squiggly Tunes”, where he plays and talks about super weird and wacky sounds and tunes from all epochs and locations.

Self-released an EP last year called “loquacious frother, madude `;.^)”, and is currently working on composing the OST and foley for his sister’s feature film, as well as a few collaborative EPs and a solo album. He likes oysters, Cities of the Red Night, tamarind juice, cursive handwriting, Bach’s Partitia No. 2 in D minor, Moambe, table tennis, American burger cheese, and squelching his boots in mud.

Now: Imagine O A K M I L K not as a liquid but as a solid drill. A sharp drill that bores into a condensed granite like layer of 1 1/2 hours of pure DRONE OPERATØR material. The drill is composed of diamonds that shine in all colors and never wear out. Submerged into that granite DØ it makes an awesome sound. Why drill at all you might ask? Because we asked him to perforate. :)
