How biographies could be collected and transmitted: Equinox... is a tribute; a binder-curio covering Kenneth Anger’s life and work, decade by decade, through newspaper + magazine clippings, interview extracts, legal documents, and other ecstatic truths and profound undoings. The narrative is in your hands. (Also includes audio cassette tape of two hours duration.)

Numbered + handmade in an edition of 66 copies only; bound papers 466pp+ w/audio cassette tape; no digital.

This series for Resonance Extra is the first time much of the label's catalogue has been available to hear outside of its material form. It accepts the invitation by Resonance on the basis that none of these sounds are stored. If you want to hear it you need to be able to access the radio at midnight every Thursday.

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.

As an introduction to their current residency on Resonance Extra, That Travis presents their opera Elephant Song. They share the stereo version of the sound installation originally exhibited at Gallery 46 in Whitechapel earlier this year.

That Travis is a singer-songwriter originally from Hong Kong. Their background is a mixture of a colonial English education and an indigenous upbringing. While the two worlds fight for representation within their work, they exhibit an organic mixture of all influences primarily with their voice, sonic expressions, lyrics and visual aids.

This episode explores the now abandoned Dorothea Slate Quarry in Dyfrryn Nantlle and the intersection of Loch Harport and Loch Bracadale off the Isle of Skye. The Dyfrryn Nantlle Valley is an incredible landscape.

Ancient hills give way to a man-made valley sculpted by industry and the production of new counters. Davoll explores the sonic potential of this space performing improvisation with the space as well as making field recorders.

Flux aims to explore the themes of liminal space, temporality and boundaries, whether physical or theoretical. This exploration is carried out through field recording and sound design. Each episode invites an artist, performer or sound recordist to create a show in reaction to these themes. Exploring a space or spaces they deem relevant through their own creative practice.

Communiques from Thanet Tape Centre, Hard drive sludge. audio tidal pools. Music sediment. Friends utterances, sea walls of noise, salt marsh drone.

Radio Picnic is a mobile radio art project by zonoff which invites multi-disciplinary artists to create works inspired by the radio medium.

In this episode, get ready to listen to the weirdest and most mind-blowing covers and drifts of One of Us by Joan Osborne. There's no order, no lists, only stilted and exclusive material.

Gregorian monks, electrocombia lovers, metal minds, hardstyle dancers, satanics followers of Anton Lavey, sexy sax… 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).

Tse Tse Fly Middle East was a nonprofit arts and activist organisation that existed from 2015 until 2023. Throughout that time, it presented a monthly two-hour radio programme showcasing sound art and experimental music from the Middle East, India and North Africa.

This episode leans heavily on the mysticlal downbeat side of things, to listen to in between ocean splashes during a now familiar heatwave…Featuring: more Ondness, more Jerry Blue, more Sculpture, more more more…

Cosmic, transcendent sounds and exploratory electronics with f.ampism.

"Nobody is entitled to simply walk into a business and work there. If there were no quality control safeguards in place, we would just have chaos." So grumbled some self-serving 'authority figure' circa 2012.

As if to wave a middle finger at the naysayers' edicts, the narrator continues to pursue 'pure volunteering', and interrogates concepts of "quality", "safeguards", "place", "have" and "chaos" via a palimpsest of found media, ranting, and cool, calculated disgrace.

Parallel to this, research continues into the contentious forbidden book, supposedly locked in the uncatalogued portion of the British Library's Suppressed Safe.

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.

Sound collage, record spinning, havering, ear wonk and general head scratch with Dylan Nyoukis of the Chocolate Monk label.

New music with The Wire Magazine.

"The first electronic music I ever played as a teenager was on a Hammond organ. The drum machine and rhythm generators in particular fascinated me; simplistic devices but somehow very creative, and something in the sound was strangely compelling.

I heard Lee Scratch Perry, Sly and the Family Stone, Cabaret Voltaire and Suicide do some remarkably enduring music with such drum boxes, which of course later went on to become a basic element of electronic dance music in general. With this piece I revisit some of these dusty old machines and also some of the other vintage instruments in the studio at Worm, plus my modular synthesiser and sampler, instruments from Rob Hordijk and some occasional blasts of modulated radio." – Richard Scott

Richard Scott is a Berlin-based creator and performer of forward-leaning electronic and electroacoustic music. Once a saxophonist focused on free jazz and group improvisation, for the past two decades he has been working intensely with a variety of technologies, methods and musical forms. In recent years he has concentrated his energies on creative composition, improvisation and production, with a particular emphasis on analogue modular synthesisers; including those remarkable instruments created by Don Buchla, EMS, Serge Tcherepnin, Émilie Gillet and Rob Hordijk.

Recorded and composed in the Worm/Klangendum Studio, Rotterdam, July 2024, a Worm/Klangendum/Concertzender production.
