London-based art, music and architecture writer Bobby Jewell plays a selection of ambient, jazz and classical music over two hours.

In this episode, Dronica meets Cerpintxt.

Cerpintxt is an electroacoustic progress report from the cosmic madhouse, through the medium of voice, auto-destruction, wind-guided experiments in protoconversation. Her work is concerned with generating an invented language of a particular strain of softness through phonetic entropy and augmented instrumentation.

The hauntological element of her work explores a form of sonic activism against the weaponization of love in Egypt. She curates the London-based event Boundary Condition. A durational sonic immersion for the rabidly sentimental: investigating the parallelization between dark-jazz, hauntology, and music concrete as nostalgia-centric practices trickling from the persistence and antagonistic fragmentation of certain memories.

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

This episode is a special edition, focussing on the Pacific City Sound Visions label.

Cosmic, transcendent sounds and exploratory electronics with f.ampism.

60 minutes of vivid aural excitement mixed by Ian Murphy.

In the late nineteenth century two facts conspired to change the face of music: the collapse of common practice tonality (which overturned the certainties underpinning the world of Art music), and the invention of a revolutionary new form of memory, sound recording (which redefined and greatly empowered the world of popular music). A tidal wave of probes and experiments into new musical resources and new organisational practices ploughed through both disciplines, bringing parts of each onto shared terrain before rolling on to underpin a new aesthetics able to follow sound and its manipulations beyond the narrow confines of ‘music’. Probes tries analytically to trace and explain these developments, and to show how, and why, both musical and post-musical genres take the forms they do.

PROBES #4 concludes our excursion into portamenti, looking at its use in popular music, before moving on to wholly unpitched probes that begin to map the many aspects of differentiated noise.
