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 fourth instalment of Asphyxia begins to interrogate the distractions which beset the British Library Suppressed Safe research.

By focussing and exploring the exact nature of the individual elements in the web of frustration, an experiment in 'drift' ensues, whereby any clues to possible research angles are gleaned, and synchronicities sought. Some brass bells are found in a bin, as well.

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.

This episode features sonic goodness from Michael Ranta, Ekolali, Bear Bones Lay Low and more.

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

In this episode, Dronica meets Jody DeSchutter.

Jody DeSchutter is a multi-disciplinary artist hailing from Canada, now living and working in London. She is one half of BAG, a spoken word and sound duo, alongside her partner Dan Allison. DeSchutter writes and performs in conversation with the immersive sound crafted by Allison, the two merging familiar and unknown, and ultimately building new landscapes and contexts.

DeSchutter practices painting and sculpture in tandem with spoken word and sound, working at their intersections and allowing edges to dissolve. She is interested in exploring these 'in between' and ever-shifting spaces.

In this episode, DeSchutter has collaged some favourite and formative work, ideas, and inspirations in anticipation of two BAG albums currently being moulded and burnished: a collaboration with sound and visual artist Charlie Behrens (BAG X BEHRENS) followed by a collaboration with producer, musician, and artist Laima Leyton (BAG).

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

With music by ShadowmastΞr, Iamtheshadow, Tones on Tail, Gross Prophet, Mark Shreeve, Negra Branca, Julia van der Piller, The Radiophonic Workshop, Blacklight, Dissolved, Shatterfreak, Mirrorring, 4T Thieves and The Cure.

Phantom Circuit is a show of strange and wonderful sound waves - featuring music that is alien, electronic, exotic, essential.

Ancient texts. Stone monuments. Forgotten artifacts emerging from the mist of time.

Just a few months after the "Substunce Sans Scrupule" collaborative LP with Jean-Marc Foussat, Georgios Karamanolakis returns to Coherent States with the genuine ingredients that created it. "Sacred Path" is an immersion within four mystical compositions, using an EMS Synthi, Modified Yamaha TG33, Roland Space Echo, Casio FZ10M, SY35 Vocoder Synth, cassette tapes and toys.

Ίσως το τώρα να είναι χτες.
Ίσως να ήμασταν απο πάντα εδώ.
Ίσως κάποτε να βρεθούμε εκεί.
Ίσως να επιστρέψουμε ξανά στη Γη.

Explorations of the inner city sounds of Athens and surrounding areas through lucid soundscapes and site-specific transmissions.

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.

PROBES #2 continues to explore probes into pitch, examining alternative tuning systems based on the naturally occurring harmonic series, opening up a potentially infinite series of customised Just Intonation scales.

This episode showcases music with a distinctive atmospheric feel, music that evokes a sense of times long gone, or times to come.

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.

In this edition of Shuffle, get ready to listen to the weirdest and most mind-blowing covers and drifts of Hello by Adele. There's no order, no lists, only stilted and exclusive material. Squirrels, electric toothbrushes, reague fanatics, babies, mermaids and newts… all are welcome in Shuffle formula radio mode.

This episode features a special guest, Milo Thesiger-Meacham.

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).

Mateo Amaral is a multidisciplinary artist who develops his work using techniques such as drawing and painting, three-dimensional digital animation, distortion of video through software errors, exploration of audiovisual noise and production of electronic music.

His research leads him to experiment with hypnotic audiovisual landscapes, drawing parallels between primitive digital aesthetics and the individual construction of the reality model. All his work revolves around "Una piedra negra", an expanded feature film project that produces short films, paintings, installations, virtual reality pieces and live audiovisual performances.

In 2016, he was the winner of the first Virtual Reality award within the ITAU prize for visual arts. In addition to his individual work, he formed the artistic collective Oligatega with which in 2003 he was a scholar in the program of workshops dictated by Guillermo Kuitca and participated in the work clinics of Diana Aisemberg.

His work was exhibited at the Cultural Center of Belgrade (Serbia), Museum of Modern Art of Buenos Aires, at the festivals ArtFutura, Mutek, Sonar, Robot and Trimarchi, at Artists' Television Access (San Francisco, USA), Museum of Contemporary Art of Castilla y León (Spain), Art Basel (Switzerland) and the Experimentation Center of the Teatro Colón (Buenos Aires).

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