What is the difference between data driven music and data sonification? When sound esthetics meet science and technology.

This report presents several sound pieces that were composed with the use of data by scientist-artist Daniel Maszkowicz. The pieces are presented with evocations of scientific and esthetic considerations, collected from several sources and materials, with references to other works by himself, or his inspirations

Welcome to walkplacedistancetime.

Walking, movement in place, in air, distance through time.

Today’s episode is Kittiwake Triptych No. 1: Cullernose.

This is the third of a triptych of recordings of my walking to “the same place” – a Kittiwake colony – twenty minutes sitting at the place and my walking away back to my starting point. The three “same places” are one in rural Newfoundland and two in rural Northumberland. At each site, on another day, or at a different time of the same day, each recording would have been different.

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.

Discrepancies is a global showcase of disparate music with a focus on earthly field recordings and international sounds, curated by the Discrepant record label, presented by Gonçalo F Cardoso.

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 episode is a conversation about how practices and philosophies of listening emerged within the context of CRiSAP and through the situated stories of each contributor.

Throughout the discussion references from art, politics and literature are drawn upon. The role of listening within education and workshop settings is also considered along with reflections on how to listen to that which we might not know to listen for.

Contributors: Angus Carlyle, Victoria Karlsson, Cathy Lane, Salomé Voegelin, Mark Peter Wright.

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

In this episode, get ready to listen to the weirdest and most mind-blowing covers and drifts of One of Us by Joan Osborne. There's no order, no lists, only stilted and exclusive material.

Gregorian monks, electrocombia lovers, metal minds, hardstyle dancers, satanics followers of Anton Lavey, sexy sax… all are welcome in Shuffle formula radio mode.

Shuffle by Agnès Pe is a formula radio programme taken to the extreme: repetitive, obscure and humorous. Each episode presents obscure covers of a single song. “Anything that spreads by imitation or spreads by bodily reproduction, like genes, or by viral infection is a meme” - (Richard Dawkins, 2013).

This episode was created entirely by the AI. Stop! Not quite. There was a painstaking search and editing process. And all the lyrics were handwritten by Drone Operatør. But yes, all the music here was invented by a machine brain. Of course it learned from humans. Illegal data extraction, blah blah blah....

But this is it. Here we are! When the cold, damp smell of the rehearsal room hits your nose and the smoky, smelly pub concert creeps into your brain, just enjoy the ride. You've never understood exactly how sound travels on radio waves, to begin with, so what? This is our testament. The AI testament.

(Sorry, no tracklist av-AI-lable)

Intertwining themes of motivations and justifications form the central nervous ganglia of this instalment.

Loosen your tolerance threshold and listen in, as some of the loose ends regarding the new genre 'creepbeat' (introduced previously) are tied up, followed by rantings at the TV, then a phone call of dubious audio quality is received from a friend who formerly worked at Oxford Street's HMV where a strange diary was discovered inside an abandoned bungalow on the roof of the iconic music store.

If the aforementioned has not whetted appetites, meat is provided in the form of reports of Pure Volunteering workplace trespass incidents. Pure Volunteering is a mode of work which mocks the divide between the employed and unemployed, causing untold fuss.

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.

A 22-hour radio project in 7 episodes by Milo Thesiger–Meacham. An unnamed narrator moves house and pieces together a world of recording devices, names, crime, real-world characters and media from across the globe, featuring 10-second audio extracts from over 6000 individual videos found online, original sound recordings, music, hand-held camera audio and writing. Commissioned by the European Capital of Culture, Esch2022 for the temporary radio art station Radio Art Zone. Follow Fox Neame for more.

This episode features seasonal film scores by Popol Vuh, Fabio Frizzi, Gene Moore, Basil Kirchin and Ennio Morricone.

The inspiration for this piece came from the idea of treating the radiowaves as a living environment, a complex landscape just waiting to be explored. Applying field-recording methods to the shortwave signals of the radio highlights its various sceneries, and its diverse inhabitants.

From radio amateurs to state propaganda, and from entertainers to religious freaks, all types of discourses can be found here competing for attention. Surrounding these voices is an equally fascinating ocean of electronic sounds : magnetic storms, carrier waves, interferences, radio-jamming, hum and buzz. The aether is an infinite synthesizer. The natural tones and human-made noises of the airwaves represent an inexhaustible source of sound material and inspiration.

This piece has been composed with the help of the scordinator, a computer program devised by martiensgohome during a residency in the Q-O2 workspace in 2023. The program generates a graphic score for multiple musicians to follow, suggesting dynamics, entry points and pauses for each performer. Designed for live performance as well as for decision making in the studio, it is both a game and a tool. It reconciles conducting and improvisation insofar as it doesn't tell the musician what to play, or how, but lets him make creative choices within a timeframe.

martiensgohome is a radio-art collective based in Brussels and has been active on the air since 1996. They operate every week on Radio Campus 92.1 FM where they produce a one hour-long improvised show, using field-recordings, electronics, objects and guitar. They also perform live whenever possible, preferably in special settings, composing site-specific interventions or playing unconventional venues.
