Meira Asher’s work challenges accepted conventions of practice and genre, even within the supposed open-minded circles of the avant-garde. A composer, performer and human rights activist, she freely oscillates between, through and beyond the fields of sound art and radio art.

In the past 20 years her artistic practice has been focusing on in-depth and long- term projects, and she has been working assiduously, amassing many different projects in different veins. She is the producer of the independent Radioart show radioart106 since 2014 and a former lecturer at the University of Haifa's Art School (2012-22).

Her works were released on Crammed, Sub Rosa, Auditorium, Raash Records and Ultima Ratio labels, but mostly independent through her own platforms. Her recent works include TANSIKتنسيق for Radio Reina Sofia Madrid, a Hebrew version of Antonin Artaud’s radio essay Pour en finir avec le jugement de Dieu and Sonic Voyage of Resistance for Radio Art Zone.

Twice-monthly broadcast showcasing electronic music produced by members of the female:pressure international network of female, transgender and non-binary artists practising in the fields of electronic music and digital arts.

This month we have a special guest curation from the Othermen crew, featuring music from the sewage works, sand bag and brain cell

Text from Othermen:

"And just because I'm Smyling
Doesn't mean that it's happy.
And just because I'm laughing
Doesn't mean that it's funny.

Do you know how Real that is!"

Commissioned new work from contemporary sound practitioners and other audio choices from experimental electronic collective The Spirit of Gravity.

We’re back with new music for the first time this year! After laying the foundation for the show throughout last year we have decided to explore a new route: as we are a collective of individuals and not strictly a homogenous ensemble this year we’d like to use the platform to explore each members individual practice.

Every couple of months or so a member will “take over” the sessions for the month and guide us in the work we produce. For this month, we have taken early anarchist texts as inspiration and material to work with and against the music we make. Each member reads a text in their native language and we explore the dynamic of knowing and not knowing through improvisation.

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.

This episode showcases Argentinean duo Whisky. María Pérez and Macarena Fuentes decided to join forces in an experimental project where the music triggers other artistic experiences. Inspired by viral videos and absurd regional beliefs, they make their songs with synthesisers and voiced subliminal messages.

They like to tell personal, intimate stories through lo-fi videos that they make themselves, in which they blend everyday situations with moments of fiction and dance. The music breeds a desire of contemplation and the videos, a desire of dance. Between rhythm and noise, take a sip of this experience.

A selection of the most vibrant and exciting new sounds of Latin America's emerging talents.

In this episode, Dronica meets Lucia H Chung, curator at Happened, London.

Lucia H Chung is Taiwanese experimental artist based in London. She performs and releases music under the alias ‘en creux’ where the sound creation springs from her fascinations in noise generated via feedback on digital and analog equipment, and her role as a ‘mediator-performer’ in the multifaceted relationship between the sonic events incurring within the self-regulated system.

She also works as an independent curator, producer and broadcaster at Happened.

Lucia presents a selection of experimental electronic music from Asian female artists that loosely follows the trajectory of her listening habit and her own creative development as an artist as well as an independent curator. The selected music features artists who are a huge influence in Lucia's own work, some who she has worked with at Happened, and others whose music she simply enjoys.

Nicola Serra, founder of East London's experimental music festival Dronica, presents new and archival material.

In this episode, acousmatic vibes and musique concréte set pieces. Innovators and new-schoolers massage our eardrums into the deepest recesses of sound mangling. Radiophonic mass pieces, trips to the Italian coast and fears of drowning all make an appearance. Classic avant-garde? More like gourmet music sounds, old and new.

Discrepancies is a global showcase of disparate music with a focus on earthly field recordings and international sounds, curated by the Discrepant record label, presented by Gonçalo F Cardoso.

A Mad Woman's Tale explores the surreal and often chaotic nature of daily life. Drawing on a range of everyday sounds, including a washing machine, a sewing instructional audio, and live radio sampling, the work invites the audience to immerse themselves in a world of familiar noises, creating their own interpretation of the piece.

Leonie Roessler is a composer and performer raised in Germany and the US, now based in The Hague, Netherlands. Leonie captures her environment with field recordings, which she uses for radio pieces, sound installations, and instrumental compositions. She runs the radio branch of Studio LOOS in The Hague. Her works have been released through Musica Dispersa (Spain/UK), and Noise á Noise (Iran) and have been physically archived in the British Library.

In this episode we dive deep into ambient experimental music, shining a spotlight on long form tracks and textural, sonic soundscapes that exist in their own time.

We’ll be listening to tracks that tell stories with no words, that paint pictures with sound, and take us somewhere new and different, out of our regular surroundings and into the unknown.

A monthly show exploring our innate connection to sound, and how we express that through music, showcasing work that connects to our body and minds through rich compositional choices, through intricate processes in the studio, or music that is inspired by the way we interact with the outside world. Connections to Sound journeys through downtempo, electronic, ambient and beat driven music, featuring tracks from artists all around the world. Presented by Kayla Painter.

This episode is a contribution by Radio Helsinki.

There are two kinds of dedicated radio listeners.Those who head for their FM Soundscape while, working, reading living and those who head for numbers and morse-code on short wave. Distracting at least one of these groups may seem like an achievable aim. While we are discussing pipeline-holes and ripped interbet-cables in the Baltic sea, the neo-rebellion in Iran and drones in circles, it had all been broadcasted beforehand.

This show is dedicated to numberstations, a way of broadcasting encrypted information via serieses of numbers or letters, using either automated voice, Morse code, or a digital mode. A methode that has been used since WW I and is still used as this signals are not sensitive to any distortion and disturbance and reach out via aether into the air and water. Foreign intelligence agenciesunder water or overseas keep on useing this practical methode of informations transportation.

Nida Live-Performance from Sept 28th 2022 was developed during a residency at the Nida Art Colony of Vilnius Academy of Arts and performed there.

Numberstations was performed again at Wien Modern, November 24th 2024 as part of a project of the collective Institute for Transacoustic Research.

Thanks a lot to the Nida Art Colony and its team especially Vasilisa Filatova and Egija Inzule.

Exploring sound discovery in the internet era with Robin Buckley AKA rkss.

To showcase the development of their new project Swan Song (working title), That Travis presents a series of live sessions in Resonance Extra's studios. As part of their practical research, they share music that has influenced the project, perform live and invite guests to share their work.

In this first live broadcast they share Cantonese pop music, paying respect for their heritage and the popular culture they grew up with.

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.
