Bi-monthly insights into the activities of the European project tekhnē, which started in 2023. The series showcases a selection of artists who share and discuss their work and listen to recorded material. By putting the focus on the user rather than the developer, this project aims to explore the emancipatory potential of technology in music and sound art. Technology as an art of craft, appropriating and transforming existing tools, to imagine multiple ways of creative misuse. tekhnē is a collaborative project, co-funded by the European Union.

Morita Vargas is an experimental music producer and performer from Argentina, part of a new Latin American movement of women who inspire curiosity and deep listening. She explores new sonic pathways for a more sensitive society, crafting hypnotic atmospheres and textures in each track, singing in an invented language.

She has released two albums: 8 (published by Hidden Harmony Recordings - Estonia) and Mandrágora (published by Autogénesis Magazine - Germany), both rooted in ambient, dream-pop, and fantasy soundscapes.

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.

And so everyday life begins. A subtlety made up of sounds that we recognise but so often ignore. It’s just background noise. Today, there are no witches — there is guilt. The voice as a mirror of discomfort, of coughing, of screaming. And the bells, always there. In the distance, persistent, like an entity dictating the pace of our steps. At a time when “freedom” has become a fragile word, we whisper, we murmur, we chant — and we become the crowd that, for a moment, makes itself heard above the bells.

It was from this attentive — and restless — listening that, in March 2025, a group of curious sound enthusiasts gathered in Braga for a radio art workshop, promoted by Braga Media Arts, as part of Braga 25 — Portuguese Capital of Culture. Under the guidance of Sarah Washington and Knut Aufermann (Mobile Radio), a broadcast was created from this soundscape.

When thinking about the sound identity of Braga — marked by a notable religious presence, which earned it the epithet ‘Portuguese Rome’ — one always comes back to bells. They inhabit the towers of the city’s countless churches, mark time, sing sacred melodies, call people to prayer. And sometimes they seem to scrutinise souls in search of sins. Because they exist — and because they make themselves heard — bells inevitably shape our daily lives.

The bells and chordophones heard in this piece were recorded during rehearsals and performances of the artistic project ‘Novos Ecos de Uma Paisagem Sonora’ (New Echoes of a Soundscape), by the Percussion Group of the University of Minho, directed by João Dias, accompanied on the Braguesa guitar and cavaquinho by Luís Capela.

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

Side A - Oh Petal: New Material

(Anthony Hodgkinson - Guitar; Joe Wilson - Guitar and Vocals)

"Sleep, my love. Lay down for another day. It cuts me deep, into my bones. Soon my love, I will be home. All this trouble, that we make; the pains, we take. That tall tower, it awaits; and all that power never fades. Sleep, my love. Lay it down, your burning blade." – Joe Wilson.

**Side B - Oh Petal: Cicatrice **

(Anthony Hodgkinson - Guitar; Joe Wilson - Guitar and Vocals)

"When a cut pierces the skin,

the body repairs around the site—

restructuring its inner form.

Our body accommodates the wound,

reorienting to serve

a new shape within.

The scar is forever a part of you,

like the blood flowing, through your fingertips.

New lines,

New traces."

– Anthony Hodgkinson, Jan, 2025

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 a guest mix by Berk Icli.

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

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.

A fever takes hold over this episode, but the willpower to continue researching persists. When these two things collide, you can be sure that you're in for one hell of a rollercoaster of ride full of spills and thrills without a moderating pragmatist for miles.

Fever effects are unusual; perceptual loops present themselves, of varying tiresomeness. A loud music event outdoors prompts our poorly breathless narrator to trace the source of the sound.

This gives rise to what may become a recurring theme in Asphyxia: namely, a new genre of music called 'creepbeat'; where, like breakbeat, music is sampled, albeit from an unreasonably long lonely distance away. When banging tunes lose their definition, they thrum.

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.

In this episode six CRiSAP researchers, past and present, discuss and play examples of their wide ranging artistic and practice-based research into and with archival materials.

Mention is also made of the archives that CRiSAP has worked to secure in collaboration with the Archives and Special Collection of University of the Arts London, namely the Her Noise Archive, the London Musicians Collective (LMC) Archive and the Lindsay Cooper Archive.

This episode of Third Space features Suny and Ikea Customer Service. The first half of the show sees Suny pay homage to the natural spaces and creatives that make them feel close to the city.

In the second portion of the show, Ikea Customer Service explores what Oslo has meant to them since moving to the capital mid-pandemic.

In their own words: "This is a very simple solipsistic mix in the end; a mix of field recordings from long pram walks, bus rides and lullabies, some songs I’ve written to stay sane, and some songs of others that have kept us afloat. And lots of our daughter being a massive beacon of light."

Sheltering from the rain under a bridge by the canal we encounter joggers, the odd curious dog, and the soft booming of nesting pigeons. We stand still, entranced by the swirling water and subterranean echoes, and our thoughts slowly turn to benches, the weather and recent storm warnings.
