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 music and sound works by BASIC TAPE LOOPS & febrile, Alexei Borisov & Vyacheslav Ismagilov, The Lynce Trigger Gate, ASHTORETH & FORESTAAL, Worksite & Workshop, Mark Hjorthoy, Capricorni Pneumatici, and Cognition Delay.

A selection of new experimental music and sound work from the international underground network Unexplained Sounds, curated by Raffaele Pezzella (Sonologyst).

A retrospective of the Radia network’s epochal (and on-going) radio art series.

Pausing beneath a curious domed structure at a rare high point along the lower Lea Valley, the otherworldly echoes render all material surfaces permeable, our minds inexorably expanding with thoughts of soup...

Featuring: Ed Shipsey and Andrew Ciccone Duration.

SEA MANTIS

Littoral Transmissions meander through the sonic landscape of the River Lea from Stonebridge Lock to Leamouth. Recordings from the field converge with layers of sound to create an aural impression of the navigation.

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.

Musical sketches by ENGLAND'S COUNCIL OF LEGISLATION AND GOVERNING BODY OF HYPER REAL SIMULATIONS AND CONSTRUCTS is a monthly mix of curation, recompilation and pseudepigrapha.

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

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 #5 looks at timbre and the many routes to its extension, and then explores the somewhat exotic range of modifications, preparations and ways of subverting pianos that have been tried to date.

Antenna. The madness of the day...

Antenna is a series of works on transduction with the sole sound source taking place - radio waves. Here I was devoured by discontinuity and discharge inherent to the "miracle of the wireless. the omnipresence.. the overleaping of frontiers” - the radio, like it was marked by R. Arnheim.

This piece emerged in two phases: the first one can be called a transduction - a process of conveying potential energy from discharge into a signal. It was a spontaneous live radio-noise set recorded close to the closed shelter. This summer
I found myself stuck in between absence and presence in amplified senses,
confronting the avalanche of the noises erupting on us by this world, facing the chaos, “embracing alienation”, holding a degree of disbelief..
that this "disparity can be modulated”..

Yet, seeking the perceptual transmutation.

Biologists say there are two phases for the perception, so that after transduction of the signal, a transformation should take its place.
Following this logic, the second phase of this work appeared as an improvised procession with effects and filters - a real-time mix-ture, with slight subsequent recombinations.

If there's something one can call a ground for this piece, besides its sound source, it dwells upon a chance. It is a conversation with a present moment beyond the borders by a flying carpet of propagating radio waves.

"Antenna" was created drawing on ambisonic spatialisation with a mixed approach, so that some sounds move through in a chaotic manner, while the trajectories of others were meticulously calibrated. In doing so, I did not seek to determine the exact location or direction for each sound particle, but rather to underline the traces - their nomadic movements within the whole sphere of the revealed ensemble.

Radio Concrete by Hagai Izenberg is a monthly experimental radio show focusing on live mixing and processing of field recordings together with contemporary music and soundscapes.

This episode features location-centred mixes from Berlin-based sound artist Marta Forsberg and Poznań-based composer and sound engineer Aleksandra Słyż.

The show focuses on music from each city, but also nods to the interconnectedness of different music scenes and identities. Although now based in Berlin, Marta is of Swedish-Polish heritage and Aleksandra has lived and worked in both Poznań and Stockholm. Nods to these connections can be heard throughout.

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, Cary presents another Central Appalachia showcase.
