After catching up to the present, live sets from the following episodes will be collected in an additional, gradually expanding album, totalling approximately three hours.

RIP Pita. The title Additions Megabus was originally intended as a tribute to the sense of freedom and possibility that Peter Rehberg and Editions Mego's activities put into the world, and I can only hope that these tracks inspire somebody in the same way.

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.

“The result of all that came before, are we. Bound to a legacy of inherited trials and tribulations. Music shapes our space and time; dissolved within its solution, emotion, memory and magic. Transporting us, altering time; past, present and future. It looses us in a stream of forever; the now crumbles into what was and what could be.” – Richard Bundy

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.

Aspects of scuppered research continue to be explored ad nauseam in this fourteenth instalment of Asphyxia, in which the narrator yields to the drift of distractions like a carrier bag in the wind.

This episode boasts not one, but three difficulties: (1) The ongoing hum in the left-channel seemingly spreads to an audio repairperson's own left ear, (2) a fallen tree prompts consideration on the clichéd obstructiveness of those wooden timewasters, and (3) a newspaper report from over a decade ago - heavily critical of Pure Volunteering - is torn apart in still-burning righteous fury.

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.

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

This episode features music and field recordings capturing the sounds of Berlin and Mexico City, courtesy of Jana Irmert and Mabe Fratti.

In the first hour, Jana probes the intrigue of Berlin's streets and experimental music scene. Using cutting edge recording technologies, she offers us an unconventional angle on the city's soundscape, from the electronic signals surging through power boxes and neon signs to the subtle movements under the ice covering the Spree River.

In the second hour, Guatemalan cellist and composer Mabe Fratti takes us across Mexico City. Her mix features a selection of tracks from artists living and working in the city, combined with recordings of the everyday music that floods its streets: parents and children singing together, musicians improvising in bars and on street corners, and taxi drivers cranking up the radio to share their favourite songs.

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.

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 episode delves into the visceral intersection of sound art, performance, and extractive politics with Bolivian artist and researcher Guely Morató Loredo, director of the Sonandes.org platform. Her latest work, Rare Earths, takes the form of a performative dinner where guests are invited to gather around an edible landscape that evokes the actual extraction in the Andean Altiplano and the Lithium Triangle (Bolivia, Chile, Argentina).

Using transducers embedded in the table to transmit infrasound and a multichannel soundscape composed of field recordings from the territory, Guely Morató transforms the act of eating into a ritual of confrontation. The work not only documents resource exploitation but seeks to re-tune the participants' bodies to the invisible forces and cycles of sacrifice of the land, making the abstract violence of global supply chains tactile, audible, and tasteable. Guely Morató's trajectory, anchored in the direction of Sonandes since 2014, underpins this exploration of deep listening as a political act.

For Morato, listening is a form of resistance against the logic of acceleration and individualism by demanding unhurried attention—an embodied stance that cultivates empathy with the "other," whether that is a person, a community, or the territory itself. In this conversation, we explore how Rare Earths functions as an open score that can be reimagined in other contexts of ecological sacrifice, utilizing the gathering around the table as a rare space where hierarchies soften and solidarity can emerge from the simple, radical act of sitting down, eating, and truly hearing one another.
