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.

Radical Translations is an interdisciplinary project which explores the role of translation in the spread of radical, democratic ideas during and after the French Revolution. The students translated the manifesto during a series of workshops led by the poet and translator Cristina Viti.

They also interpreted and adapted the text to the stage with the help of the dramaturge Simon Hatab and the French theatre collective La Phenomena, in a dialogue with the work of Jean-Jacques Rousseau and the philosopher Jacques Rancière, as well as the music of Mozart in The Marriage of Figaro (1786), culminating in a performance at Sands Films Studio in London.

An audio essay and documentary which follows a group of students from King’s College London as they translate The Manifesto of Equals (1796) by Sylvain Maréchal from one language, time and context into another, but also to the stage in the presentation of Performing Utopia. Written and produced by Patrick Bernard, it explores how politics, theatre and translation transform our understanding of the world, and reflect a desire to make words and ideas manifest. For more information visit Tenement Press who are publishing an anthology of radical translations, An Anarchist Playbook, in January 2024.

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.

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.

The fifth episode of VARIATIONS explains how as art and industrial practitioners formally map out the discipline, hip-hop's discovery of digital sampling technology in the mid-80's provided a reintroduction to its original roots in block party DJ collage. The international success of the new genre then prompts a legal backlash against the art form, with a rash of lawsuits filed against both commercially successful pop artists like De La Soul, Biz Markie & 2 Live Crew and left-field provocateurs like the KLF, Negativland and John Oswald.
