Communiques from Thanet Tape Centre, Hard drive sludge. audio tidal pools. Music sediment. Friends utterances, sea walls of noise, salt marsh drone.

This is an ecological transmission of DIY ethics, non-hierarchical structures, radical networks, interconnected sensing through sound, text, voice, spoken word, human and more-than-human collaborative practice, patchwork group thinking, and radio art.

This episode is created for the September equinox, when dark and light equalize for a brief pause in the turn of the year, a short moment before the long exhale into the next season. The piece is curated and produced by Stephen Shiell and composed using original material from NSOTA scholars and friends.

The New School of the Anthropocene is a radical experiment in alternative education, away from marketisation and arcane specialism towards co-sensing systems change through creative practice. This is an ecological transmission of DIY ethics, non-hierarchical structures, radical networks, interconnected sensing through sound, text, voice, spoken word, human and more-than-human collaborative practice, patchwork group thinking, and radio art.

Dronica meets event curators, creative directors and labels owners in 2021.

In this episode, Dronica meets Rick Vayo, co-founder and curator of Inveterate, an independent label based in London and founded by Tapefeed.

Rick Vayo is 1/2 of Tapefeed who started the solo project to release music material with no sonic boundaries in order to be able to experiment with sound further by blending genres and giving voice to all his different musical influences.

With Inveterate they will be focusing on releasing and supporting artists that share their sonic views and that can help them shape the label sound further with the aim of pushing the boundaries of techno by inviting producers to break the rules, to think outside the box, pushing creativity, and thus finding new and unexpected elements. Ultimately, they want to bring freshness and novelty to this genre and to their scene.

Inveterate: WE ARE CURSED, MORE THAN JUST A HABIT, MORE THAN AN ADDICTION, WE ARE INCURABLE.

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

Casska is a Los Angeles-based DJ and producer known for heavy-hitting neo acid tracks and high energy. She has been gaining recognition in the underground techno scene, playing around DTLA for Control Room, Techno Fam, 1720 Warehouse's Techno Takeover, Closer, A.Y.C.E., and FFFUUUNNN. She has played as direct support at Atlanta’s Twisted Lines for VCL, and headlined Subterra in Phoenix, AZ.

Twice-monthly broadcast showcasing electronic music produced by members of the female:pressure international network of female, transgender and non-binary artists practising in the fields of electronic music and digital arts.

The exhibition ‘Die Pfeile des Wilden Apollo’ (an exhibition of the art collections in cooperation with the Exhibit Gallery at the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna) explores the transition from the Enlightenment to early Romanticism through the central role of music as a vehicle for spiritual experience and national mysticism: sounds of an early folk movement, Nordic drone scapes as an expression of a new national mysticism, bardic singing and the sounds of cosmic forces.

The video work magnetic fan fiction (The Case of Miss – –) by Liese Schmidt responds to four portraits of so-called ‘clairvoyants’ shown in the exhibition, who are under the influence of a mesmeristic treatment. The work weaves together medical, spiritualist and media-technological narratives into a speculative story of mental transmission, in which primarily female, childlike and colonised bodies appear as transmitters and receivers of thoughts, diagnoses and cosmic visions. In a fictional extension of this narrative, the so-called ‘radio pill’ is hacked to send a patient’s thoughts back into the past. The result is a ‘magnetic fan fiction’ that makes a paranoid inner world audible via invisible frequencies.

The ‘radio pill’ had an inspiring effect on the Vienna Radia Collective and prompted Fabi Lux and Karl H. Schönswetter to develop the idea of a radio station travelling through the body.

With contributions by Liese Schmidt, Fabi Lux and Karl H. Schönswetter

Members of Radia, the international group of independent cultural radio stations, explore new and forgotten ways of making radio.

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.

From the Archive: ISLAND SIX A and ISLAND SIX B; Joe & chanelle were visiting artists at the The Renshaw Gallery Residency and Minjerriba Retreat, November to December 2022.

The Minjerriba Retreat is located 30km east of Brisbane on Minjerriba (North Stradbroke Island), the 2nd largest sand island in the world. Home to the indigenous Quandmooka people, Minjerriba is also rich in flora and fauna including rare and endangered animals. The residency is a two bedroom family holiday shack. Artists are invited to stay without working as a respite from demands of running an art practice.

A monthly programme which blends textured audio from cassette recordings by Joe Wilson & Chanelle Collier with tonal imagery by Bruna Volpi and Jake Terrey. Sound engineering by Ollie Brown.

This episode features music by experimental & ambient artists from Ukraine, some of which are on Injazero Records.

Injazero Records founder Siné Buyuka plays a selection of electronic, experimental, ambient and contemporary classical tracks.

This instalment is almost entirely hogged by a supposéd radio show broadcast by BBC Radio 4 that somehow plops the narrator's inner psyche onto the airwaves as part of its daytime drama entertainment scheduling. Featuring: frustration, shoplifting and things to confuse Ofcom.

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.

Low Noise is an eight part study on a quieter side to noise - as a music or simply as its own aesthetic. Taking form as a collage of sound works from an international roster of artists and composers, the eight hour broadcast is interspersed with esoteric field recordings, film extracts & manipulated sound effects.

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

In this episode, Chantal Michelle takes us on a journey around New York in the first portion of this month’s Third Space. Buskers, sirens and footsteps are caught between and across music that captures the frantic and conflicted relationship of the artist and the city.

In the second half of the show, Cucina Povera engages with the broad palette of sounds found around her. This mix focuses largely on sounds rather than composed music, but the musical inspiration that Cucina Povera finds in the city’s droning bells, natural ambiance and repetitive bird song melodies is pronounced.

"An inexplicable draw, a love affair that can’t end, a refusal. Compounded layers, disharmony, the occasional synchronicity that could be mistaken for meaning. Trying to “block it out” but efforts are futile; a bleeding. Pleasure in discord, fear. Joy when looking out the window." – Chantal Michelle

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.

From the most abrasive to the unbelievably sublime, Hope Valley Cement Works attempts to curate a selection of experimental music and sounds, from collected field recordings and sound collages, to serene ambience, impressive drone and the odd deconstructed club track. A series by Kris Cooper.

shared thoughts

Continuing our study of combining Pauline Oliveros' Sonic Meditations Pacific Tell and Energy Changes, Tarik Haskic (Slovenia) and Littoral Transmissions (UK) attempt to open up telepathic communication across time and space.

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.

This episode features tracks from Yves De Mey, Hyacinth & Aidan Baker, Isobel McKenna, EVOL, Southfacing, Dylan Henner, Hoavi, Inturist, Virusmoto, Glues Browling, and more.

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.

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

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.
