Said the sky to the moon, shall we do a dance? I'll wait for you to make the move but please don't wait until you hear - the sound below the atmosphere. Ceylan Göksel and Sami Fitz reach subliminal heights with genre-busting spoken word, ambient textures, sound sculptures, and a different theme every show. We wish you a good night.

This episode features a focus on Massimo Olla (Italy), plus music by Max Corbacho, Braconidae, Ordnance Survey, SIGILLUM S, LiangYiYuan, Echoflex, IDFT & Setareh Ahmadi, Distant Fires Burning and Dead Space Chamber Music.

A selection of new experimental music and sound work from the international underground network Unexplained Sounds, curated by Raffaele Pezzella (Sonologyst).

This is a three hour extract from the festival, featuring sound art, computer music, homemade instruments, DIY electronics, radio play, noise, data sonification, field recordings, radio art, sound studies, historical anchor points, niches, insider tips, and different generations of Cologne's electronic and sound art landscape.

The FUNKT programme was developed under the project management of Georg Dietzler by Anke Eckardt, Claudia Robles-Angel, Dietmar Bonnen, Dirk Specht and Felix Knoblauch, in cooperation with Sarah Washington and Knut Aufermann.

Thanks to sponsors Musikfonds e. V. with project funds from the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media as part of the special programme Neustart Kultur, Kunststiftung NRW (North Rhine-Westphalia Endowment for the Arts), the Cultural Office of the City of Cologne.

FUNKT was a festival of electronic music and sound art from Cologne, which took place on the 16th, 17th and 18th of April 2021.

Renowned Australian soundtrack theorist Philip Brophy presents 90 minutes of loud and luscious soundtrack dynamite! Across 13 episodes, he covers five strains of film music: Electronic Soundscapes; Big Beat Jive; Hard Rock Freak-Out; Funked-Up Grooves; and Atomic Atonality. In all cases, great tracks that speak for themselves!

This instalment contains opportunistic content made during a 'pure volunteering' trespass into an archival recording facility, where a vanishingly rare - possibly unique - acetate record (originally found in a bin) is digitised, cryptically titled Baz Kromagnum. Varying fidelity ensues.

Fittingly, this old record - nominally skiffle - sings of unresponsive culture, failed endeavour, and perseverance, heralding sympathetic elongated remixes, and philosophical enquiry on the nature of experiment, passion, presentation, and pratfall.

Originally commissioned in 2022 as part of Radio Art Zone's tapestry of 22-hour radio productions, this project by Daniel R. Wilson is re-presented here in episodic form. Asphyxia hacks the antagonising systems which thwart and forestall projects (its name also acknowledges the asphyxiating atmosphere of long-form radio when made by a single person). It is a damaged would-be radio documentary exploring the Narnia of restricted access material and gatekept employment.

This episode features music by Telluric Shock / Yally / Anton Lukoszeviez / Kathy Acker with Nox / Catherine Christer Hennix / Watkins Group / T.Power / Jo Johnson / Sarah Davachi / HLM38 / Anthony Manning / Senking / Mucha & Spatial / Cristian Vogel / Yurii Samson / Cody Brant & Carl Kruger / Gabor Lazar / AOTCI / Lee Ranaldo.

An immersive psychosonic space, where sounds converse, collide and converge, featuring works, selections, edits, experiments, new music, non-music, archival objects, abstract artefacts, sound(system) and A/V art, pop, trash, noise, voice, and the associated mediums, processes and techniques that make up the ongoing audial investigations of Agents of the Culture Industry & OVT, all presented for art not profit.

Then our Theresa Elflein returns with a select collection of eclectic friends – among others featuring Elements of Elephants, Anjali Rose and Lou Barnell.

Colliding Lines present live sessions, cross-genre collaborations and left-field recordings drawn from the London, UK and international experimental scenes; a long-form love letter to recorded audio as soundtrack, as sound art and as storyteller.

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.
