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 new works by Cadlag, Tacet Tacet Tacet, Andreas Monopolis, zzoneman, Mario Lino Stancati, Guru Bobol, Senking, Anda Volley, While, Oubys, and The Decaf Conspiracy.

This episode opens with a special introduction by Greek composer Savvas Metaxas who chats about his new album For How Read Now which explores the creative and conceptual possibilities in errors. We also take a closer listen to two other error-inspired albums: Kamran Arashnia's Bounds Elimination and Jonathan Higgins' Good Thanks, You? composed via glitching CD DJs.

We also dive into Rubbish Music's forthcoming debut album via a composition based on a field recording of a recycling centre as well as Australian composer Alexandra Spence's new oceanic release on mappa, a mysterious album by Michigan's Lalén Ríos Luna and we celebrate the arrival of agri-ambient with Michael Lightbourne's Slí na Fírinne.

This is the Flaming Pines radio show featuring new releases, mixes and experiments in field recording, sound art and experimental music, hosted by Kate Carr and guests.

Lepke B's blissful disregard for the sacred in life has placed him as one of the testcard knights with a totally unique approach to sound plunderphonics and visual art.

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.

Virgilio Oliveira explores the sonic environment in collaboration with Porto's Radio Manabras, presenting an hour of sound art and field recordings.

In this episode, Wendy Lavone (Sam Hughes / Nancy) subjects his discography to the butchers for an hour of twisted and reimagined versions of his work. Not to be listened to on a full stomach, features exceedingly bloated drones and dread sonics weaved throughout classic writings on depression and blackened soundscapes composed by Kinn. And yet, there is hope for all sick dogs...

Wendy’s LTD run of cassette on An1ma is out now. You can also find Nancy (clothing) at Supreme, Slam City Skates and on their website.

Channelling an array of fervent interests in many genres through different mediums (Film, Music, Sound Art and more), Kinn - the brooding-electronics project of London based artist Freddy Lomas - and his guests use original soundscapes and compositions to weave together an original concept for each month's show.

Ambient, folk, ritual, electronic, dub, free jazz and exploratory works selected by BroodingSideOfMadness.

Jon Leidecker presents an introduction to the history of sound appropriationism in 20th century composition, popular art and mainstream media, and the convergence of these trends in the present day.

If music initially hesitated to follow the lead of the visual arts in the field of collage, it made up for lost time in the sixties. Breakthroughs in high fidelity sound, an influx of consumer level tape recorders, and the continued influence of television building the notion of the Global Village were among the factors that led to an explosion in collage based composition. The most obvious of the shared qualities in these pieces was a tendency towards the use of World music, culled from as many disparate locations as possible. If the new availability of ethnological recordings from around the world had shattered the notion that music was a universal language, musical collage can be seen as an instant response to the rest of the world as it became unignorable – a way to explore things held in common and the potential for hybrid identities.

IDS is proud to present the sounds of The Lily Pond, a large scale sound installation by resident artist Jamie Moore. The installation is based on the works of French painter Claude Monet, and features 7 channel sound alongside three screens of animated artwork, to create an environment evocative of the paintings and Monet's garden in Giverny. It is comprised of both ambient and soundscape work, using field recordings from the garden to transport the experiencer to its environment.

Joe and Chanelle’s audio recordings encompass ambient sounds, conversation, experimental composition and improvised instrumental response. Cassette drones, loop pedals, voice and guitar are used to echo, mimic or bend over bird calls, thunderstorms, night sounds, indistinguishable chatter, museum reverberations and urban movement. These moments captured to tape are presented in two halves as an A-side/B-side format.

Enriched by visual counterpoints for each episode, Bruna’s critical eye forms an ambiguous tonal narrative from Jake's method of stumbling into excellence. Mountain, valley, glacier, and urban horizon are presented in stereo format, to parallel the A-side/B-side format.

This program has been made on the stolen lands of the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, we pay respect to the Elders both past and present.

Project lead and sound by Joe Wilson and Chanelle Collier. Creative direction by Bruna Volpi. Photography by Jake Terrey.

We were kind of happy that day

Screaming and playing hard.

We could see the light up there on the escarpment.

This episode of Third Space features sonic explorations of Brussels and Manchester, with field recordings and local music curated and compiled by Adriaan de Roover and Hayley Suviste. In the first hour, Adriaan walks us through the Belgian capital via found sounds and music.

In a novel take on the Third Space format, the musical elements of Adriaan's mix have been drawn from a single artist - Brussels hip hop collective, STIKSTOF - whose work he has sampled and stretched into beautiful ambient pieces.

The second half of the show sees Hayley Suviste weave an assortment of standout tracks from Manchester's kinetic electronic music scene through a tapestry of sonic portraits documenting the city's ever-changing landscapes - from its near-wild edgelands to the heart of its inner-city development projects.

Each month, First Light Records invites two artists to take an unplanned journey with a microphone around their city to curate an hour-long mix. Each show captures the unique atmosphere of a city from each artist's perspective, through music and found sound.

In this episode Jennifer plays lots of new releases.
