Walking with Sebald: Austerlitz and the East End ▾
Patrick and his guests walk from Exchange Square behind Liverpool Street Station – where Austerlitz first arrives to London on the Kindertransport – to Brick Lane where Stephen reads a poem dedicated to Altab Ali and Bill Fishman. From there they continue to Alderney Road – where Austerlitz lives in the novel and also home to the oldest Ashkenazi Jewish cemetery in the UK – and finally arrive at Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park behind St. Clement's Hospital where Sebald's character spends a long period of recovery.
Sound recorded by Milo Thesiger-Meacham and photography by Karen Lacey-Holder. Thanks to Leonard Shear of the United Synagogue.
In this extended programme Patrick Bernard follows in the footsteps of W. G. Sebald and his eponymous character Austerlitz as he explores the East End of London with poet Stephen Watts (a friend of 'Max' Sebald who accompanied him on many of his walks). They are joined by Nadia Valman and David Anderson from Queen Mary University of London as they visit many of the locations in the novel to uncover the layers of history hidden beneath the surface of the city and Sebald's text.

ENGLAND'S COUNCIL OF LEGISLATION AND GOVERNING BODY OF HYPERREAL SIMULATIONS AND CONSTRUCTS #1 ▾
"I heard a bird's song and sang it as my own for the rest of the day is the name of my first mix to resonance FM and also is a phrase which I sadly am not able of recalling the origin of. it is composed of interferences that resemble Opeth from the Seventh Heaven channelled using artificial technology to Opeth from our dimension and everything in between."
Conceptually, it's a study and praise of one's usage of the music of 'others', it opens with one of the best examples I have heard. this marks the beginning of a series, a friend who is smarter than me advised me to do so. Kanye 2024.

Ràdio Web MACBA presents Probes #1 ▾
In the late nineteenth century two facts conspired to change the face of music: the collapse of common practice tonality (which overturned the certainties underpinning the world of Art music), and the invention of a revolutionary new form of memory, sound recording (which redefined and greatly empowered the world of popular music). A tidal wave of probes and experiments into new musical resources and new organisational practices ploughed through both disciplines, bringing parts of each onto shared terrain before rolling on to underpin a new aesthetics able to follow sound and its manipulations beyond the narrow confines of ‘music’. Probes tries analytically to trace and explain these developments, and to show how, and why, both musical and post-musical genres take the forms they do.
This inaugural episode sets the scene and investigates early reconsiderations of pitch: probes that postulate new scales to be constructed through the ever-greater subdivision of the inherited intervals of equal temperament. For more information on this episode, visit RWM Curatorial.

First Light's Third Space #17 - Liis Ring & Ayami Suzuki ▾
This episode features mixes by Liis Ring (Rapina, Estonia) and Ayami Suzuki (Tokyo).
In the first half of the episode, Liis Ring sketches us a sonic portrait of Räpina - a small town in the South East of Estonia. In among field recordings collected on her walks around the town and original music recorded in her grandmother's shed, Ring shines a light on the musical heritage of the area via folk tunes (sung in the local dialect) and new adaptations of traditional pieces.
The second half sees Ayami Suzuki explore the sounds of life in Tokyo; the hum of train station platforms, the buzz of cicadas in the forest, the summer tradition of the Awa Odori dance. Nestled among these sounds are selections from the city's contemporary experimental music scene.
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.
