In this episode:

"suspended ragamash, vocals and sirens"

Weekly compositions, sketches and motifs by Anastasia Freygang.

Field recordings, experimental narration, ragamash mixes, big time polyrhythmics including fantasy language and hearsay from IRL and the World Wide Web.

In this episode, Dronica meets Lucia H Chung, curator at Happened, London.

Lucia H Chung is Taiwanese experimental artist based in London. She performs and releases music under the alias ‘en creux’ where the sound creation springs from her fascinations in noise generated via feedback on digital and analog equipment, and her role as a ‘mediator-performer’ in the multifaceted relationship between the sonic events incurring within the self-regulated system.

She also works as an independent curator, producer and broadcaster at Happened.

Lucia presents a selection of experimental electronic music from Asian female artists that loosely follows the trajectory of her listening habit and her own creative development as an artist as well as an independent curator. The selected music features artists who are a huge influence in Lucia's own work, some who she has worked with at Happened, and others whose music she simply enjoys.

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

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

Floating Field Research, in two pieces by Gabi Schaffner.

The first piece is Kukka Shop Overdrive (2021). The location: A small kiosk selling flowers and eggs, next to a heavily trafficked road on the island of Lajasalo in Helsinki. The shop has been in the neighborhood for the last 20 years I was told, but egg sales occur only on Wednesdays. They are sold in trays by 40 pieces only.

The weather was gritty, slush and gravel spurted from the cars in the road and form the overall backdrop of the ‘kukka’ shop conversations. The recordings: All recordings originate either from the site of the ‘kukka’ shop at Lajasalo and another flower shop in Mäntta – and finally a private greenhouse in Taiwan. Additional sounds derive from the frying of several eggs and a visit to a chicken shack in Ruovesi to collect more eggs.

Field Recordings and composition: Gabi Schaffner. Voice Taiwan: Margaret Shiu, Bamboo Curtain Studio, Taipei. Chicken: Tyyra Jukka, Ruovesi.

The second piece is Schweben | Floating (2023)

Schweben is an invitation to immerse you in a series of short narratives about body musings. The narratives have been collected on the legendary art ship MS Stubnitz, located at Hamburg harbour. Schweben takes ‘float(ing)’ literally: Guests, passers-by and members of the Stubnitz staff were asked about their experiences in floating or hovering in the air…

Other bodies of water and air whirl alongside, from vitamin tablets to ship ventilators. The piano belongs to the MS Stubnitz. We listen to it in an improvisation played by the crew’s cook, Renard.

Stimmen/Voices: Claudia, H.W., Karim, Jann, L., Mathias, Tina. Piano: Renard. Field recordings: Gabi Schaffner. Other: Ein Zimmer voller Sterne, Schaffner, 2020.

Gabi Schaffner works as an interdisciplinary sound artist and curator. Her artistic practice is determined by the methods of poetic ethnography in connection with fluxus-like mise-en-scènes, radio-making and sound art performances. Much of her work originates from journeys.

Next to her radiophonic productions, Schaffner creates speculative musical genres and inserts them into music history in order to raise awareness for cultural, gender-related and/or geographical conditions. Schaffner has been realising award-winning productions with Deutschlandfunk Kultur, radia.fm, Hessian Cultural Radio and ABC Australia. Since 2012 she maintains DATSCHA RADIO, a nomadic transmission project that links the medium of radio to current ecological issues.

Many thanks to Gabi Schaffner for Floating Field Research. And we also say thank you to her artistic collaborators, contributors and donators – especially to Augustin the cat!

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.

Field Notes

Feat. FAREWELL TOUR recorded at Chicken House. Farewell Tour is a new rock band project by Joe Wilson and Chanelle Collier developed throughout 2023 and 2024, mixing field recordings and long form psych rock, with Joe on guitar and pedals and Chanelle on vocals and samples.

Side A - Lover’s Cheekbone

“I saw you standing. Long days long nights waiting on the stage and those hallowed lights. Screaming to the wild and dancing with the wind, just as it starts, it always ends. This could be the last time I see you, this will be the last time I see you. I saw you standing through the window of your apartment, saw you standing naked in your beautiful garment. Garment, yeah! All this trouble and the devil we have”. (distortion/delay)

Side B - In Defence of Submission

Notes on a Sound Art Practice: MIXTAPES

Sound is a time based medium and is therefore about time. A site specific music that incorporates field recordings. Each sound has a location in time and space, that repeats again in a kind of nietzschean time travel. Playback, delay, and looping are the eternal recurrence. It is this life, now, living in terminal diagnosis. Living with an acute awareness of the limitation in the availability of time. The here and now is filled with the presence of time and mortality, ART and DEATH.

Sound art in the medium of mixtapes: a practice combining textiles and sound. It is for those wanderers willing to make a sidestep to embrace resistance, agency, or refusal. An intentional pause for creative procrastination inspired by a Situationist spirit. It is anxiety and method, irreverent of its resources. This practice, only a labor for love, ingests, internalises, and releases. This is mechanical reproduction via cassette, which is an un-living agent, a prop, and a gift. Through cables sprawling to construct a signal chain where authority resides in the binary input and output solution. Companions consenting to a noise domain, Heavier Than A Death In The Family. A sound ambition that finds the silent friendship of grief. A Farewell Tour rock band project. – Joe Wilson

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.

Although Mitamine Lab has been a little slow and absent lately, that doesn't mean we've vanished or ceased operations. Instead, we continue to be active, advancing with fresh concepts and initiatives. According to modern author and philosopher Yuval Noah Harari, "music is a form of manifestation, evolution, and resistance." We are thrilled to share our belief in the transformative and resilient power of sound with you today.

We have chosen to incorporate into our performance Mexican axolotls — the fascinating, incredibly rare and elusive amphibians known for their remarkable capacity to regenerate limbs and tissues. We're embracing rarity, resiliency, and the underground vibe, just like these amazing creatures.

To add even more significance to this episode, we've included some promos we've received recently, along with hidden gems we've discovered through ninaprotocol.com. We're returning with a rarer, more underground, and more enthusiastic energy than ever before.

The background image is a painting by Chucho Reyes, one of the most original artistic personalities of 20th-century Mexican visual arts. Antique dealer, decorator, set designer, he was recognized by figures such as Luis Barragán, Mathias Goeritz, Juan Soriano, Paul Westheim, Octavio Paz, and many others, as well as Picasso and Chagall, who admired the inventive strength and the vividness of his painting.

Mitamine Lab is a culture laboratory based in Mexico City which blends sound archives with contemporary music and literature.

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.

Asphyxia's delirium continues in this episode with excerpts from a 1921 paranoid etymological tract - 'Puss in Pye Corner' - jutting into commuter-friendly low-budget podcast matter and dictaphonics.

Finally, a chance to inspect a British Library Suppressed Safe book is presented: 'Diving for Treasure' (1926) by G. Williams. Meanwhile, BBC Radio 4 implodes under its own gravitas, birthing a new star in the form of 'spoken word newspaper reports' from the early 2000s.

These mishaps befalling the narrator - filtered through newspaper bastardy - rehash quondam-embarrassments associated with bin-diving and aggressive Pure Volunteering.

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.

Since 2005, CRiSAP has pioneered new approaches to practice and theory by exploring sound and listening in relation to the environment, gender, technology, feminism, activism, conflict, text, pedagogy and voice. For Resonance Extra, CRiSAP members and friends, past and present, host a range of discussions and soundworks that cover key themes and areas of research across art, performance, symposia, publishing, curation, archives, education and more.

This first episode discusses the creation of the research centre and its early years in terms of the people who were involved, the institutional home that supported (and hindered!) us, our individual and collective creative and scholarly activities and our connections to the wider field. Excerpts are included of a performance of Unknown Devices: The Laptop Orchestra (2009), of Peter Cusack’s Pigeon Whistles in the Sky (2007) and John Wynne’s Hearing Voices (2005).

Contributors: Angus Carlyle, Cathy Lane & Mark Peter Wright.

CRiSAP (Creative Research in Sound Arts Practice, UAL) celebrates its 20th anniversary with 20 unique episodes for Resonance Extra.

This episode of Third Space features sonic explorations of Brussels and Manchester, with field recordings and local music curated and compiled by Adriaan de Roover and Hayley Suviste. In the first hour, Adriaan walks us through the Belgian capital via found sounds and music.

In a novel take on the Third Space format, the musical elements of Adriaan's mix have been drawn from a single artist - Brussels hip hop collective, STIKSTOF - whose work he has sampled and stretched into beautiful ambient pieces.

The second half of the show sees Hayley Suviste weave an assortment of standout tracks from Manchester's kinetic electronic music scene through a tapestry of sonic portraits documenting the city's ever-changing landscapes - from its near-wild edgelands to the heart of its inner-city development projects.

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.

This episode channels the airwaves with special guest Martin Clarke on saxophone and manipulated field recordings. Remote sounds flickering like moths across the water.

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 first episode features interviews with composer Simon Scott and artist and academic Cathy Lane. The pair survey the field recording scene today and discuss their practices.

The Field Recording Show is a programme exploring the soundscape, recording, listening and composing hosted by Kate Carr and Luca Nasciuti.

This episode features a two-part guest mix by EURO TV, an ongoing sound collaboration between artists Nicholas Cheveldave and Will Sheridan Jr which began in 2021.

Field recordings made from a familiar assemblage of urban and inner city noise are pieced together in an attempt to emphasise a rhythm of ‘Interpersonal Sound’.

The second part of the mix comprises an audio piece from the duo titled Side A, which was premiered live in June at Emalin for the launch of Will Sheridan Jr's artist book, How Did You Want Me To Behave.

"What does a city sound like when you sleep

A night bus hauled through empty streets

Cash registrars opening and closing

Breaking glass

The sound of a journey through night,

In and out of bars and clubs

Cars and transport

through, soberness, romance, belligerence, and exhaustion

Voices that fade in and out

You can't remember when or where only that they existed"

Worthwhile Unions is a radio series by Anna Clegg with a focus on meeting points. Often collaborative and pulling heavily from online sources, the series works to extract a kind of cinema of feeling, contradicting and evasive, from dense combinations of music, sound and samples.

This broadcast with artist Víctor Mazón Gardoqui is the first chapter in a project to document the Earth's windscapes. Using a network of microphones and acoustic sensors, we are creating an audio record of remote environments, starting here in Antarctica and traveling toward the North Pole. Our precise starting location is: Doumer Island, South Bay, Antarctica Latitude: 64∘52′55′′S. Longitude: 63∘35′03′′W.

Our journey begins with a long-duration night recording from the Yelcho Research Base, a Chilean scientific station. This location is of significant ecological interest, situated in a rare transition zone that offers close access to both rich marine ecosystems and the sparse terrestrial vegetation of the Antarctic Peninsula. First established in 1962, the station was inactive for sixteen years before being reactivated in 2015 to support new lines of scientific inquiry.

Gwaith Swn's Sonic Darts is a London-based sound art collective presenting new sound works, performances and discussions.

Named after one of my favorite hip-hop pieces (by Mantronik vs. EPMD) and inspired by an enquiry – during an ice-cold dialogue with an acquaintance in front of a vault in an auction house located in central London – about which piece I would never consider selling, this mix is a personal study of my relationship with the financial world of art and with who and how we share our 'art'.

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.

Lepke B is hard to find. Lepke B is an idea derived from science-fiction. Lepke B is the missing dimension in the world of matter and anti-matter. His brain is a neuronic network spread out over melodies and words that have been transmitted since the beginning of times.
