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.

This episode features João Polido, a Portuguese musician, composer, and lecturer who investigates cultural memory, tradition, sound technology, and the socio-political history of music. The title of this talk, “Spectral Lore of Tradition”, emerges from his observation that, as oral memory fades from contemporary life (paradoxically aided by recorded media), traditional music and folklore become suspended in a kind of temporal loop.

Shaped by structures of power in Portugal’s history - particularly during the military dictatorship and its aftermath - these forms reveal complex dynamics of aural remembrance, abstraction, and reference. Framing remembering and forgetting as intertwined acts, Polido explores spectral processes in audio as both remediation and a strategy in the face of the failure of recognition. As Nagel and Wood write in “Anachronic Renaissance”: “There was no ‘original’, in other words, until someone tried but failed to replicate it.

The original was the creature of the replica.” This talk was held as part of the programme of OUT.FEST’s 21st edition, at Casa da Cidadania Cabós Gonçalves in Barreiro, Portugal, on the 3rd of October of 2025. The podcast is bookended by the tracks “Contours” and “Prova de Existência” by Polido, taken from his 2024 album Hearing Smoke (Holuzam).

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.

This episode is dedicated to my late grandmother Chrisanthi Miliopoulou Gavriilidou. She was my main influence growing up and a strong female figure. She was born in Istanbul in the 30s. She used to climb the huge cargo and oil tanker ships in the Bosporus sea, and dive from incredible heights. She was a storyteller...

She is still remembered as a historical figure in the area of Paşabahçe Turkey. Her late husband was a well-known doctor and they both had a huge impact on the local community, which was made up of many different nationalities and ethnicities. She taught me to respect people and to be a citizen of the world.

She bought me my first spray cans for my first graffiti and supported me in all my ventures until the last day of her life. She was an immigrant, a fighter and a strong maternal figure to many. She did not fear death, not even cancer. She will always be with her loved ones and with me forever.

In association with the Chilliwack Office of Leisure.

This episode focuses on the strangest releases from the Soviet major label Melodia, which could be characterised simply as ‘Non-music’. Some records shocked me, some made me cringe — but these tracks seem to form a curious narrative on the verge of a numbing psychedelic journey.

So, within an hour you will hear reconstruction of a concert on mammoth bones, advertisement of the famous Lithuanian hoover ‘Audra’ and car fluids of Soyuzbytkhim factory, field recordings of crickets, toads and even fish singing, pioneers' signals, monologues of parrot Gosha and a patient with nonsense casual relations syndrome, and also hypnotherapy for alcoholics. Happy travelling!

Uzbekistan-based DJ and boss of the experimental TOPOT label Eugenie Galochkin presents rare vinyl rips from the Soviet Melodia label. Melodia has released music from all around the world: from obscure Baltic electronica and free jazz from Siberia; to synth-pop from Tajikistan and academic avant-garde from Ukraine. The series will explore how national and cultural characteristics are embedded in musical language.
