In this episode:

"i am reading from 'The Secret Revelation of John' by Karen L. King. was given this book and plunged in..to the two available translations printed across from eachother from da Berlin Codex, differing slightly. i m reading both I.II. versions out loud, left one first, then the right one, sentence by sentence, till page 49.

have a look at the writing below if you want to know about the context of The Secret Revelation Of John, but i believe it comes across anyway. i loved it. picking up on the many 'intriguing-but-confusing ideas' and the overt criticism of patriarchy ofc. as for aeons the meaning of it invites to enquire about temporalities and timespans, linking this back to the suspension the world is experiencing now.. . for me, really its a question about whether there is any light and if so whether the varying interpretations provide any solace."

Lost in antiquity, rediscovered in 1896, and only recently accessible for study, The Secret Revelation of John offers a firsthand look into the diversity of Christianity before the establishment of canon and creed. Karen L. King offers an illuminating reading of this ancient text--a narrative of the creation of the universe and humanity and a guide to justice and salvation, said to be Christ's revelation to his disciple John.

Freeing the Revelation from the category of "Gnosticism" to which such accounts were relegated, King shows how the Biblical text could be read by early Christians in radical and revisionary ways. By placing the Revelation in its social and intellectual milieu, she revises our understanding of early Christianity and, more generally, religious thought in the ancient Mediterranean world.

Her work helps the modern reader through many intriguing--but confusing--ideas in the text: for example, that the creator god of Genesis, a self-described jealous and exclusive god, is not the true Deity but a kind of fallen angel; or, in an overt critique of patriarchy unique in ancient literature, the declaration that the subordination of woman to man was an ignorant act in direct violation of the "holy height."

In King's analysis, the Revelation becomes not strange but a comprehensible religious vision--and a window on the religious culture of the Roman Empire. A translation of the complete Secret Revelation of John is included.

In the spring of 1745, Johann Sebastian Bach, weary from years of composing and performing across Germany, embarked on an unexpected journey south. Rumors of the vibrant music and golden light of Andalusia had reached Leipzig, whispered by travelers and fellow musicians. Intrigued and seeking inspiration, Bach set his sights on Seville.

Upon arriving, the composer was struck by the city’s intoxicating mix of Moorish architecture, orange blossom-scented air, and the ever-present rhythm of flamenco echoing through cobbled streets. He was welcomed by local musicians, curious about the German master whose music, though foreign to them, stirred something familiar in their souls.

One evening, in a small courtyard lit by lanterns, Bach joined a gathering of Spanish guitarists and singers. They played bulerías and soleás, their hands moving like fire across strings and palms. Bach, fascinated, responded with improvisations on his clavichord, echoing the passionate melodies with Baroque flourishes. The music transcended language. In those moments, the sacred and the earthly met.

Before leaving Seville, Bach climbed the Giralda tower. From its heights, he gazed across the red rooftops and the Guadalquivir River, listening to the distant strum of guitars. He did not write down what he heard—but in his final compositions, there would linger a warmth, a rhythm, and a hint of Spain that no one could quite explain.

And so, though unrecorded in history, Seville left its mark on the master of counterpoint—just as his music left echoes in the alleys of Andalusia.

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.

Considerable efforts were expended on this ninth episode to disguise the identity of a veteran secretmonger who pays a visit to the basement antiquarian bookshop where hesitant steps in unravelling the British Library's Suppressed Safe are under way.

Ferreting around, a rare book is discovered which would be dodgy to mention in this blurb. Quite a boring episode if you're not interested in this sort of thing.

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.

This episode of Third Space sees two First Light Records artists, Louis Giannamore (Barkum Deer/Kinn) and Sean Kinnear, explore themes of space, memory, and nostalgia over the course of two deeply personal mixes. In the first hour, Louis revisits his childhood holidays in the Basque Country of Southern France, trips that are soundtracked in his memory by the heavy metal music that defined his musical youth and the rich coastal soundscapes of the region.

He reinvokes the feeling of these formative moments in a curated mix of his field recordings from the Basque, interwoven with often-overlooked ambient and balladic gems from artists that are ordinarily associated with crushing drums and chugging riffs. In the second hour, Sean narrates a history of his native Salford through music and found sound, as well as exclusive unreleased sonic experiments of his own. From the sounds of textile production to the dancefloor of the White Hotel, from New Order to Machine Woman, Sean’s mix charts a nostalgia-tinged path through Salford’s story and his own.

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, the sound of destruction. Bring items that definitely should get destroyed. Ceramics, glasses, figurines, tech, furniture, kitsch, presents that you never liked, and join the last breath of that rubbish in the ultimate radio show.

In this episode: a short boat ride at high tide brought us to a small man-made island, long since forgotten in the middle of the Channelsea river. Sheltered from London's hurried clock by the ancient flow of water, we became permeated by a slower sense of time, witnessing the inexorable, gradual processes of buildings returning to earth, trees sprouting in their midst, their leaves flickering in the winter sunlight.

Listening, we attuned ourselves to the sounds the currents brought us, our answers carried gently downstream. A great tit's call and heron's cry signalled a shift in the tide, and we returned back to the city as the river began to recede.

Heartfelt thanks to Blanc Sceol (artists Stephen Shiell and Hannah White) for their generous invitation to visit Channelsea Island and safe crossings, and for sharing & performing the Ear to the River score with us, and to Helen Frosi for attentive ears and recording.
