In this episode, sounds and stories from Alkaline. This is the journey of a collective creating space for sounds, art and community in Guangzhou, China.

Alkaline: We're not a club, nor an art space. We're a collectively-built, hands-on reality. A body conceived in the city's nooks and crannies, constantly sublating, growing, resonating.

Vague Wanderings is a bi-monthly collaborative live show from the 24-26 cohort of School of the Damned, exploring imagined spaces, temporary autonomous zones, collecting field recordings and the fertile topsoil of vague terrains.

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).

Certified Tonk showcases improvised music as a shared act of discovery, where meaning appears without being forced, and ego drops away for creativity to take over. This series is an invitation to listen differently, stay present and let the music lead. Andrew Backhouse is an artist and radio geek based in North Yorkshire who has always loved radio and sees it as a place for exploration, not answers.

In this episode, a new sound artwork composed during a blitz session in Studio Loos (Den Haag) by Leonie Roessler and Hagai Izenberg in November 2022.

A Mad Woman's Tale explores the surreal and often chaotic nature of daily life. Drawing on a range of everyday sounds, including a washing machine, a sewing instructional audio, and live radio sampling, the work invites the audience to immerse themselves in a world of familiar noises, creating their own interpretation of the piece.

Leonie Roessler is a composer and performer raised in Germany and the US, now based in The Hague, Netherlands. Leonie captures her environment with field recordings, which she uses for radio pieces, sound installations, and instrumental compositions. She runs the radio branch of Studio LOOS in The Hague. Her works have been released through Musica Dispersa (Spain/UK), and Noise á Noise (Iran) and have been physically archived in the British Library.

Radio Concrete by Hagai Izenberg is a monthly experimental radio show focusing on live mixing and processing of field recordings together with contemporary music and soundscapes.

In this episode: does music have to be serious? Does music have to be rational? Does music need to conform to the rules? According to contemporary postmodern artists, no.

Postnew is a modular theory, describing the fluid development of aesthetics. Every movement has a post-movement, every end is a beginning, every post-aesthetic will be followed by a post-post-aesthetic. Join the mailing list here.

This episode focuses on the rare experimental and deviant music that can conceptually be called the "dancefloor destroyer". Its narrative unfolds from early electronic, synthesizer and computer music and we discover that the only Soviet major label without any censorship boldly released music in the genres of EBM and no-wave, sympho-prog, acid-opera and even “post-pop”.

This episode is less about the music of all the countries of the Soviet Union – only focusing on Estonia, Latvia and Russia – but is rather my personal poetic statement, representing the diversity of Soviet experimental music in the late 80s and early 90s. This music sounds extremely modern right now. I chose the neo-romantic twist of Nochnoy Prospeckt's Antidisco Song as the main motif of the release, which opens and closes the show.

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.

This episode stems from a recent series of dreams. These include amulet messages, jumps between dimensions, showers of candy gummies, visits from family and pets, surreal markets, and healing under rain. Bachelard's L'Eau et les Rêves describes water as the source of daydreams, mixing the everyday with the cosmic. Jung's archetypes help explain the amulets and symbols we receive rather than create. Breton's surrealist automatism supports the non-linear logic of dimensional jumps. Animist beliefs hold that ancestors, family, and pets share the same dream space, finding healing at the edge of rain.

The selection includes Federico Durand's music-box-like temporality, Félicia Atkinson and Christina Vantzou's dream-like soundscapes, J and the Woolen Stars' domestic pieces, OMMA & Taiga Ultan's self-dismantled compositions, Brian d'Souza's acoustic ecologies, Shakali's deep-listening phonography (along with Mitamine Lab's latest mix), M. Geddes Gengras's modular unpredictability, Alan Watts's philosophy of dissolving boundaries, and Archypness and Abo Abo, with their sci-fi textures from DE RIO, Florence.

Mitamine Lab is a culture laboratory based in Mexico City which blends sound archives with contemporary music and literature.

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

As a guardian of the Slice, Stephen Shiell is exploring and understanding the site as both a public sculpture and a private environment that sits beyond the boundaries of the usual. These radio shows are recordings of live events, happenings to explore the tensions that exist between the public and private.

Curating the series around his own love for experimental electronics and improvisation is a way for me to bring communities into this setting, a chance to celebrate an underground London culture in a place that hasn’t been commercialised or capitalised, even though it lies in the heart of these very environments.

‘Naus’ refers to the Ancient Greek word for ship, and also recalls the word nausea, a ‘ship- sickness’, that reflects the artist’s feelings towards the neo-liberalist landscape surrounding the ship. The sounds created here are a form of electronic improvised noise resistance.

This episode features Tom Hirst, Elif Yalvac, & Mohammed Rowe. Recorded live by Ian Thompson.

Stephen Shiell is a London-based sound artist, composer and improviser working across experimental music, radiophonic art and site-responsive process. His work explores listening as a social, ecological and political act, engaging sound as a way of understanding place, environment and human presence.

A show of improvised electronics recorded live on board A Slice of Reality – a vertical section of an ocean going sand dredger that stands on the foreshore of the Thames at North Greenwich in London, since its placement there 25 years ago. Originally conceived of as a sound bite of lost industry to mark the turning of a millennium, the realities the ship witnesses are now very different - the high octane leisure industries of the Millennium dome and the docks, and the global finance district at Canary Wharf.

PINS is a game for all anonymous egos, everywhere, made through repositioning and reproducing old dreams and documents. PINS is a game that rejects the word “practice”, a ponderous barrage balloon of a word, one with a thin skin that can be undone with a pin prick, revealing an awful lot of hot air. Leave it for the doctors and lawyers.

Or call it “praccy”. PINS favours the word “process”. Process can mean the slow deconstructing of making art. Process also means something that can be tracked. It means repeated and unglamourous toil, uncertainty, silence, private actions with no hope of public validation, multiple failures and misunderstandings, and – eventually – something or other. In the 1960s you could enact “death by Process”. There is rarely a plan, just an idea. Chance, whim, accident and other people play a role in the end result.
What does Richard think about PINS?

Richard often feels between worlds. He remembers the congealed boredom of the analogue industrial past. He is often wary of the earnest, yet fly-by-night present with its assumed importances and digital fevers. Like Syd Barrett, he is “much obliged” to contemporary life for regularly “making it clear that he’s not here”. Richard realises that being between these worlds is both his natural state and his opportunity to act. Between 1840 and 2023 he spent an incalculable amount of time looking out of bedroom windows, or sitting in pubs listening to builders, plumbers and middle managers telling him what real art is. Now he wants to bring those worlds he saw together, somehow. He feels he has a lot to do, even if his work may not make much sense.

Back in 2004, Richard painted out all the images he didn’t like in hundreds of 12” record covers. Only those that momentarily interested him stayed. The record covers are still more interesting than Richard’s actions. They are now under the spare bed. One day he may photocopy them. Now for the RULES, and ILLUSTRATIONS: both here and at the Museum of Photocopies.
