Radiophrenia 2026 ▾

A full schedule can be found here

In making this year’s selections Radiophrenia was assisted by guest curator Semay Wu. Through a public engagement programme Radiophrenia has been working with seven different community groups to realise a new series of sound and radio works.

As in previous years the majority of the programme will be made up from selections submitted to an international open call for sound art and radio works. This year Radiophrenia received so many submissions that we felt it necessary to extend our broadcast across an additional weekend just to squeeze it all in.

The station aims to promote radio as an art form, encouraging challenging and radical new approaches to the medium. Radiophrenia first began broadcasting in April 2015 with subsequent editions in 2016, 2017, 2019, 2020, 2022, 2023 and 2025.

The schedule for today's broadcasts:

Pedro Figueiredo - Scattering

11 September 2026 12:00 am - 12:30 am

This piece focuses on the kind of radio most people imagine when thinking about radio: AM and FM radio. They are cheap to operate and listen to, and very much present anywhere in the world. I was fascinated by my grandfather's radio. It was a wooden box almost my size, with the names of dozens of unknown cities written on a giant dial. We shaped and reshaped radio to make voices clearer. In the process we coloured everything else. I have always loved the way the medium colours the content flowing through it. A radio transmission will face several obstacles. Variations in air pressure, poor weather, and more often than not a literal mountain. All these expose its weak points and introduce randomness and faults. But there is some comfort in the noise, and the sense of a small victory when you point an antenna to the right spot. Artist bio: Pedro Figueiredo is a sound artist and software developer living in the southeast coast of England. His work stems from a love of imperfections, repetition, and stillness; on the verge of breaking but not quite. He creates listening experiences and site-specific works, by bringing together warm electronic sounds, field recordings, and tape hiss. He releases music as Stray wool.

duncan harrison & marc matter - OK, Well – Interesting

11 September 2026 12:30 am - 1:15 am

The collaborative piece Ok, Well - Interesting is a language-based sound work conceived, composed, and produced by Duncan Harrison and Marc Matter during the pandemic. Far from being just another reflection on this isolated and strange period, it is a verbal and sonic rumination on communication in the age of online platforms and social media, on the listening practices of users, of genuine YouTube genres and list-like pseudo-narrative created by digital tools and services (AI transcriptions, Fiverr, data organization tools - and online videoconferencing). It proudly features guest voices Angela Sawyer, Lexie Mountain, Charmaine Lee, and Gregory Whitehead, along unknown individuals who provided their voices as a gig-economical service, and computer voices known from internet memes. While the generation of the texts and the composition implemented state-of-the-art consumer technologies, some of them seem already outdated since the overwhelming AI boom of the last years.

Artist bios:

Duncan Harrison, artist from the United Kingdom working with recorded sound, voice, text, actions, images, ideas…. Active for 20+ years, mostly within obscure experimental/noise/weird undergrounds, evidenced via activities hosted by the likes of Regional Bears (UK), Joy De Vivre (ITA), Chocolate Monk (UK), Index Clean (AUS), De Player (NL), Colour Out of Space (UK), Tusk Festival (UK, Click Festival (DK) and LUFF (CH).

“Marc Matter first came around as part of Institut fuer Feinmotorik, The Durian Brothers, diskant label and Salon des Amateurs and has been politely shoving vocal recordings through various sorts of blenders ever since." (Angela Sawyer)

Jahan Xanlü - 'Disgusting Window (extended)'

11 September 2026 1:15 am - 1:45 am

Jahan Xanlü is a Swiss-Iranian-Central Asian writer and artist, currently based in Naarm. Building on his work in linguistics, they uses a linguistic lens to explore ancient tradition and mythologies and merge them with modern contexts to dream of futures that engage with the degrading ecological realities of the present. Jahan typically mixes Central Asian instrumentation with industrial and doom-metal motifs within traditional improvisational frameworks. They advocate within the internationalist community radio movement, featuring and hosting shows on HKCR, 3CR…but in contrast they often work with found objects (physically or digitally) as a means of representing the locale.

Paul Rooney - Axing for It

11 September 2026 1:45 am - 2:00 am

Amongst brooding electronic drones, and discordant strings, the voice of a tree with low self-esteem tells of a tree-loving human called Franz, who leaves letters at her base and has entered her dreams of self-oblivion.

Artist bio: Paul Rooney is an artist based in Liverpool who makes installations, videos, and records, all with writing as their common basis. He has shown work at Tate Britain; Tate Liverpool; BALTIC; The Arnolfini; and Whitechapel Gallery; and has exhibited internationally at places such as Museo Tamayo Arte Contemporáneo, Mexico City; Centro Andaluz de Arte Contemporáneo, Seville; Kunst-Werke, Berlin; and Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid. Paul Rooney’s sound work has been broadcast by John Peel (Radio 1), Ian McMillan (The Verb, Radio 3), Huw Stephens (Radio 1), Stuart Maconie (6 Music) and Tom Service (Music Matters, Radio 3).

Nikita Novogodniy - The Seasons II (2:05)

11 September 2026 2:00 am - 4:00 am

I am writing "The Seasons" to capture the important stages of my second life. The work uses audio recordings of my travels around Georgia. They appear at the joints between recordings of improvisational sessions of my play on a broken piano in an underground passage in Kutaisi. The instrument forces me to break my own patterns, to treat playing not only as a musical performance, but also as a plastic, sensual one. All I can do is try and adapt. With almost no playing skills, no deep knowledge of music theory. Through self-acceptance and the realization that only I can make this instrument sound this way. We reveal each other's uniqueness. It is a symbiosis of two broken things. An underground passage is a transition from one thing to another. But what if this momentary frame had a sound and a duration?

Artist bio:

I was born in Russia in the city of Kostroma and then moved with my mother to St. Petersburg.
At 16, I got a guitar and started writing songs. I quickly stopped succeeding because I didn't like studying and thought I knew everything there was to know.
At 20, I started trying to make electronic music. Since then, I've been writing dance tracks and meta-ironic mixes.
In 2023, I emigrated from Russia and began learning about contemporary art.
As a sound artist, I am interested in the fundamental nature of sine waves and properties of music beyond its musical content.

Conduction Series 14

11 September 2026 4:00 am - 5:00 am

The 2025/6 Conduction Series Bildungsroman 1/3/2025 Betsey Biggs, August Black, Peter Courtemanche, Jeff Economy, Jimmy Garver, Maximilian Goldfarb, Virginia Mantinian, Rodrigo Ríos Zunino, Tom Sherman Emphasizing live radio, interactivity, and media archaeological methods, The 2025/6 Conduction Series explores themes of migration, noise, feedback, speculative fiction, transmissive theatrics, and recreational aesthetics. The collective comes together on the first Friday of every month at 3:02pm ET using custom-made software. Some sessions don't have a description and the one on October 3th doesn't have even a title. However, some have a more detail description as in The Spiral: The record groove or a strip of tape moves forward by circling, slipping into another layer each time. That coiling motion echoes how time forms paths that don’t quite repeat. The spiral frames the way patterns return at different scales, from tiny biological curves to movements that shift light, air, and weather. A shared structure keeps resurfacing and shows how things grow and reorganize, how memory drifts, and how repetition comes back slightly off axis, opening another turn. Artist bio: The Conduction Series is a collaborative live radio broadcast produced by sound and transmission artists across the Americas on Wave Farm’s WGXC 90.7-FM Radio for Open Ears in New York’s Upper Hudson Valley. Artists names are: Betsey Biggs, August Black, Peter Courtemanche, Florencia Curci, Jeff Economy, Anna Friz, Jimmy Garver, Maximilian Goldfarb, Virginia Mantinian, and Rodrigo Ríos Zunino. The Conduction Series is syndicated on Radio MonteAudio in Montevideo, Uruguay, Radio Tsonami in Valparaíso, Chile, Radio CASo in Buenos Aires, Argentina, CITR FM in Vancouver, Canada, New Adventures in Sound Art in Ontario, Canada, and on Radio 1190 in Boulder/Denver, USA. https://conduction.wavefarm.org/

1 Lidiia Griaznova and Sergei Komarov -Truth Table (13:12)

2 Radna Rumping - Moving, Repetition (13:52)

1) Lidiia Griaznova and Sergei Komarov -Truth Table

Initially, this piece was created as our contribution to the group installation "Phenomenon and Paradoxes of Information Transmission", presented as part of CYFEST: Midpoint at the Yerevan Botanical Garden (Armenia, 2025). This piece born from a long-term interest in radio subcultures, particularly cataloguing of number stations and the 1970s phone-phreak milieu, with specific attention to Evan Doorbell. Sergei’s section is based on generative FM experiments, while Lidiia’s part is constructed using an online version of the speech program SAM for the Commodore C64, combined with modular synthesis improvisations. There is an imagined unidentified number station with endless transmission where the composition evolves from fragmented polyrhythmic textures repeatedly interrupted by coded messages hidden in plain sight. It is not even necessary intended for human hearing. Only the one who recognises the message as addressed to them can fully possess it. But no one prevents eavesdropping and listening.

Sergei Komarov is an engineer, sound artist, and curator. He co-founded the band Kurvenschreiber, develops CYLAND MediaArtLab installations as a Max/MSP programmer, and produces independent sound works. He lives and works in Yerevan. Lidiia Griaznova is an artist and designer working across publishing, sound, and media art. Her practice uses sound, archival fragments, and experimental book forms to question dominant constructions of time, space, and the body. She holds an M.A. in Curatorial Studies from Bard College and works between London and Yerevan. Since 2024, she has co-curated the CYLAND Audio Archive and the CYFEST sound program.

2) Radna Rumping - Moving, Repetition

Over and over.
Time and time again.
She has seen that shape before.
The expected still strikes unexpectedly.
Delayed response.
How do you move a feeling?

Moving, Repetition (2025) is an audio piece that takes the form of a spontaneously edited collage. A story recorded by Radna Rumping (recalled from memory) describes a group performance and the experience of navigating repeated power dynamics. This narration is interwoven with music by The Raincoats, reworked into loops by Levi Lanser. The composition is framed by quotations from Sara Ahmed’s Living a Feminist Life and Madeline Gins and Arakawa’s Architectural Body, voiced by Angeliki Tzortzakaki and Lorenzo García-Andrade.

Radna Rumping is an Amsterdam-based artist, curator and writer. Her practice is relational and collaborative, engaging with public space, experimental archiving, forms of gathering, and conditions of (in)visibility. She is drawn to artistic practices that defy categorisation, with a special interest for performance art. Radio and sonic exploration run as a continuous thread through her work. In 2015 she co-founded Ja Ja Ja Nee Nee Nee, an online radio platform dedicated to the arts. Between 2010-2020 she hosted the radio show Future Vintage at Red Light Radio.

1 Adam Buffington - True Blue (for a hot mess) (12:04)

2 Catherine Clover - City Making Practice (3:09)
3 Miguel Antonio Contreras Hincapie – Akallabêth (18:28)

1) Adam Buffington - True Blue (for a hot mess)

True Blue (for a hot mess) originated as a 3-minute track sampled entirely from Calibre Auto Recording discs, and was released by Brighton-based label Chocolate Monk on their compilation Calibre Five in December 2025. This newly extended version excavates the same sources to generate a slowly cascading series of samples that congeal to form a washed-out mesh of jittery pops and oscillating chants. By utilizing a minimal set of material, True Blue (for a hot mess) generates a suspended yet stirring mood.

Adam Buffington is a composer and musicologist traversing the boundaries between practitioner and scholar. Specializing in contemporary art and music in Iceland, his research focuses on issues concerning interdisciplinarity, transnationalism, historiography and aesthetics. His artistic practice, rooted in musique concrète and DIY underground aesthetics, is an ongoing exploration of memory and identity’s entanglements with material and sonic culture. His sound work has been released on labels such as Chocolate Monk, Industrial Coast and VEC Audio.

Buffington earned a Ph.D. in Musicology from The Ohio State University in 2020, and is currently based in Reykjavik, Iceland.

2) Catherine Clover - City Making Practice

This field recording is an informal participatory voicing based on the songs and languages of five migratory songbirds, the Common Reed Warbler, Spotted Flycatcher, Swift, Chiffchaff and Blackcap that migrate between the capital cities of London, Windhoek, Lilongwe, Lusaka, Dakar and Addis Ababa, all shaped by British and European colonialism. The event took place in the Camley Street Nature Reserve in Kings Cross, London. The workshop was part of Quiet Urgency, a symposium in 2024 organised by Gascia Ouzounian, John Bingham-Hall and Diana Ibáñez López (Soncities x MA Cities, Central St Martins) that considered the need for new frameworks of sonic urbanism that can work with, amongst other urgent urban issues, the more-than-human world and its vitality, without silencing or controlling it.

Catherine Clover’s multidisciplinary practice addresses communication through voice, language and the interplay between hearing/listening, seeing/reading. Using field recording, digital imaging and the spoken/written word she explores an expanded approach to language within and across species through a framework of everyday experience, including the use of extant material and found footage. With listening as a key focus and the complexity of the urban as a shared sonic space, the artworks prompt transmission and reception through the fluidity, instability and mobility of voicing and languaging. The artworks are social in nature and frequently involve collaboration with other artists and with audiences.

3) Miguel Antonio Contreras Hincapie – Akallabêth

"Akallabêth (The Downfall)" is a sound art piece that draws a powerful analogy between the fall of Númenor —the myth of pride and ruin recounted in The Silmarillion— and contemporary socio-natural disasters in Venezuela. The work builds an auditory cartography of the crisis, where the sounds of torrential rains, landslides, and affected communities blend with discourses of power and narratives of geopolitical aggression. This composition creates an immersive atmosphere that investigates the relationship between human greed and extreme climatic phenomena. From a non-hegemonic perspective, the piece invites reflection on the invisible forces —social, political, and environmental— that, acting like a collapsing system, precipitate the fragmentation of territory and memory.

Miguel Antonio Contreras Hincapie develops a transmedia artistic practice focused on sound art and expanded poetics. His sculptural research and dual training underpin a critical approach to the body, space, and narrative. His award-winning work unfolds through hybrid strategies, from museum installations to urban interventions. He has participated in international festivals such as Sur Aural, Tsonami, the Encontro Latino-Americano de Arte Sonora, and Punto y Raya. In 2023, he deepened his research through residencies at Lab Productora (Argentina) and Art Session Innopraktika (Russia), exploring intersections between the physical, the digital, and the situated

1) Marc Perez - Sounding My Voice

This is a piece surrounding the concept of communication barriers and the lack of accessibility that tends to exist not only in the teaching of language but in attempting to understand individuals as well. There is a process of unlearning here, unlearning to sing, unlearning what is pleasing to the ear & unlearning the focus on "I".

marc perez is a west coast based composer, performer, improviser, author, curator and organization leader whose work is concerned with freedom of agency, interdisciplinary arts & improvisation.

2) Tom Williams - Of Clouds and Clocks

This acousmatic composition explores the conceptual tension between orderly determinism and the irregular, indeterminate realm of ‘clouds,’ drawing on the philosopher Karl Popper’s metaphor of ‘clouds and clocks’ and its musical reimagining in Ligeti’s Clocks and Clouds (1973) for chamber orchestra and choir.Translation operates as a guiding principle—moving between philosophical constructs and sonic experience, and transforming the mechanical precision of a clock into diffuse, spatially articulated sound structures. The work unfolds in a single movement articulated in two contrasting parts: an opening section dominated by cloud-like textures—formed through processes of granulation and spectral diffusion—followed by a second part where clock-derived materials assert greater clarity and rhythmic presence. The town clock in New Bern, North Carolina, provides a recognisable point of reference within a sound world otherwise shaped by obscured metallic and environmental resonances, their identities dissolved into atmospheric ambiguity. Through this interplay, the piece proposes an experiential continuum where temporal

3) Yuna-lee Pfau - isopod smoke

Isopod smoke is an audiobook that takes the listener on a sonic and lyrical journey through the landscapes of the Estonian oil shale industry.
The naration is based on a travelogue by the artist that combines their personal experience of their visit with theoretical thoughts and questions about oilshale extraction through following the symbolic figure of an isopod.

Yuna-Lee Pfau is an interdisciplinary artist from Cologne who explores landscapes and marginal zones in their audiovisual video essays and installations. Yuna's central interest is how human-caused disturbances affect native ecosystems and how the network of multispecies stories can be narrated without centralizing the human perspective. They approach this question by combining documentary and fictional methods, which are transformed into videos, soundpieces, installations, and texts.

4) Michala Henderson - Rehearsal for Company Phantasmagoria

An ambient track recording a stage performance rehearsal of the fictional theater troupe Company Phantasmagoria. Set in 1913 London, the Company puts on movies, stage performances, and recitals that are Horror themed. This audio piece is connected to a greater Visual Novel game concept-project that is currently in development.

MaylaMuse (Michala Henderson) is an Atlanta based artist specializing in Illustration and concept design. She has received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of North Georgia, with experience in both digital arts and acrylic painting. Mayla enjoys being involved in current pop culture scenes via social media and vending as an artist at regional conventions for the past several years. Her professional work focuses on the creation of diverse characters with heavy theming, vibrant environments, and whimsical scenes. She is the creator of Company Phantasmagoria, a visual novel game concept.

5) Simon Opit - slowly closing aperture

Field recording based soundscape exploring a narrative of neglect, loss and the problematic coexistence of the human and non human. Our shrinking and denigrated natural habitats offer less and less. And with it, our attentive practices and especially that of listening. Our imaginative horizons are growing dimmer. Our collective memory grows weaker. The slowly closing aperture of my life can draw little solace from the lengthening shadow.

Sound artist originally from Australia but living in Scotland for 25 years having spent even longer exploring its high and empty places.

6) Paul Collins - Radio Spots - While They Last

This is a series of 17 one-minute radio-spots that use the radio itself as the primary source material. Random FM stations, in both Canada and France, were recorded and then manipulated using a variety of experimental methods and techniques. These one minute radio-spots are not designed to be played as a continous piece, but as individual elements, punctuating a day's programming or broadcast. A minute here, a minute there.

Paul Collins is a Toronto-born, Paris-based visual artist and musician. His paintings are represented by General Hardware Contemporary, Toronto. His prints are published by Michael Woolworth Publications, Paris. His most recent recording, Bez Vremena (2025), with Quentin Rollet and Marija Kovacevic, is now out on Astre d'Or Records. Collins is an active member of the Paris experimental music scene, playing frequently in such venues as Les Instants Chavirés, La Guillontine, Le Non_Jazz, Le Chair de Poule and Le Peine Perdue. He was a member of the Glenn Branca Orchestra.

Rita Pacheco & Harry Irvine - Kelvin River Walk

11 September 2026 7:30 am - 8:00 am

Kelvin River Walk is a site specific sound collage created while walking along a stretch of the River Kelvin in Glasgow, made for the Radiophrenia Open Call 2026. The piece weaves together improvised conversations between Rita Pacheco and Harry Irvine about global warming, mass extinction and the climate emergency, while also reflecting on childhood experiences of religion and the relevance of spiritual ecology. Both are free improvisers, musicians and poets, contributing spoken poems, field recordings, instrumental textures and sung passages, all captured on a TASCAM recorder or, occasionally, a mobile phone. They mention David Abram’s The Spell of the Sensuous and incorporate quotations from Rainer Maria Rilke and Gary Snyder, echoing the book’s ecological philosophy. The resulting experimental composition is an intimate, thought provoking conversation that situates sound, poetry and ecological reflection in dialogue with the river’s more-than-human lived environment.

Artist bio:

Rita Pacheco & Harry Irvine are Glasgow based free improvisers who explore sound together. Their practice blends spontaneous composition, field recordings and spoken poetry, turning everyday objects and natural surroundings into collaborators. In 2025 they recorded an album that captures their emergent, process driven dialogue. They share a studio in the Outerspaces network, using it for experimental sessions. In the latter half of 2026 they will host gatherings exploring connection through play and sound making, complemented by nature walks, food making and film screenings that invite reflections rooted in curiosity and respect for the more-than-human and the Living Earth.

2) Yasmeen Al-Qaisi - May my tears moist your salt, Dead Sea

Synopsis of piece: In the centre of this underwater sound fable is a shāʿir’s melisma in a hammam in Ottoman Istanbul, who does everything possible to get in the hammam at night so he can mourn the future loss of Dead Sea. He manages to enter the hammam by walking in the city at night without a torch which was an act punishable by night patrols with forcing one to work in the furnace. The furnace worker helps him sneak into the bath-house to mourn. While singing the melisma and the words Baynans 3ysh wa millh بيننا عيش و ملح "We have shared bread and salt", the poet’s tears drop in maqam rhythms. While walking out of the hammam, a pair of Desert owls become the confirmation that his cry is heard. The shāʿir foresees our murderous geopolitical present: the diversion of Jordan River and potash extraction in the lowest place on earth.

3) Tristan Rhys Williams - Llech-Tal-Môn (Lôn y Bwbach)

One of two companion ambulatory sound works on Ynys Môn, designed as slow walks through landscape, listening, and deep time. Hauntological in character, they approach place obliquely—through echoes, textures, and residues rather than clear narrative—treating movement itself as the work’s focus. The pieces are distinguished by their recording sites: Lôn-y-Bwbach near Llanddyfnan, layered with historical and folk memory, and the beach below Castell Mawr at Traeth Coch, where tides, river flow, and birds shape an exposed acoustic field. Across both, field recordings intertwine with the artist’s compositions and worn fragments of Welsh song, appearing like eroded sonic artefacts. The shared title draws on the myth of Llech-Tal-Môn as preserved and elaborated by Wil Ifan o Fôn in Bonedd y Cymru neu Lyfr Hynafion Byd, which describes an ancient cave system imagined as secretly linking road, farmland, hill, and coast—an unseen subterranean architecture mirrored in the works’ shifting, tunnel-like sound world.

Tristan makes soundworks based on the psychogeographic charge from Ynys Môn (the isle of Anglesey). They work towards a ritualistic, degraded aesthetic informed by the elements and ancient sites in the environs. Recent works have appeared on the ‘Listen to the Voice of Fire’ collections: ‘The Shining Pyramid’, ‘The Surface of Past Time’ and 'Dylan Eil Ton'. Discreet Archive released YrbrydMôn in 2025 and Tristan collaborated with poet Rhys Trimble on the album Ynys Dywyll released by Ty Cerdd.

2) Wolfgang Pérez - I AM TRANSFORMING

In a Workshop with the great Meredith Monk I received the following task: "Choose any form from the outside world that strikes you. It can be natural (for instance, a tree) or manmade (for instance, a building). Take a picture of it. Study its structure. How is it put together? What are its units? What is the relationship between the units and the whole? Use that structure as a template to compose a 3-5 minute piece." This is the result. I took a photo of beautiful cliffs in Portugal (Aljezur) and was inspired by how they look like frozen waterfalls. They look static, frozen in time, but really they are always transforming, shaped by the waves - over millions of years - deep time sedimentation.

I carefully chose 6 notes on my Juno 60 each one entering after 30 seconds + some harsh piano attacks to symbolize the heavy waves.

3) Ellie Cherry - We All Became Moss

"We All Became Moss" is a soundscape created entirely from field recordings gathered in the Scottish Highlands. Rather than present the field recordings in their literal forms, I wanted to shape them into something more representational of the abstract emotional landscapes I often find myself wandering when returning to memories of the mountains. Shapes shift; emotions blur. Flora, fauna, my flesh, and the ferns all dissolve into something old and strange.

Ellie Cherry is a composer and sound artist whose work is a surreal amalgam of acoustic and
electronic elements that explores the nebulous spaces between reality and perception. Fascinated
with the microscopic subtleties of natural phenomena, her artistic practice incorporates found
sound and improvisation, embracing the duality of acceptance and control, questioning notions
of ownership and exactness in how we create and experience sound.

4) KAZUYA ISHIGAMI - Beyond Houge Houge-Jaku

"Houge-Jaku" means to throw away one's attachments. "Houge" means to throw away. "Houge Houge-Jaku" means to throw away "Houge-Jaku".
In order to live comfortably, we should not be attached. However, if we are too concerned about not being attached, we may end up becoming attached to it.
Furthermore, beyond attachment, where do we go?

KAZUYA ISHIGAMI (b. 1972, Osaka/JAPAN) is a composer, sound designer, sound performer and sound engineer in the field of Electroacoustic/Acousmatic/Post-Acousmatic/Ambient/Noise, etc.
Since 1992 he has created under the name of DARUIN. He began using computers for composition and improvisation in 1994 with the programming language Max/MSP and others.
His pieces have been performed at CCMC (Japan), FUTURA (France), MUSLAB (Mexico), SILENCE (Italy), ICMC (2015_USA/TEXAS), Music From Japan 2020 (USA/NY) among others. He has an independent label, NEUS-318, and has released more than 100 works.

Neolithic Cannibals Radio Club Eastbourne

11 September 2026 9:00 am - 10:00 am

Neolithic Cannibals is a socially engaged sound art project explored through the deep time history of Neolithic sites. Simon originally co-created the project with education equality campaign group Class Divide and young artists in Whitehawk for an exhibition at Brighton Festival 2024. For this second iteration, Simon shared his practice on the Neolithic causewayed enclosures and barrows of Eastbourne, working with young artists to listen deeply to the unheard through a series of sound workshops in August 2025. The material gathered through experimental fieldwork sessions was sequenced live for this radiophonic collage and includes field recordings and fragments of a pop up spatial sound installation, a flint knapping demonstration, poetry and stone drum machine workouts.

Artist bio:

Simon James is a self trained artist from a working class background listening to the unheard and underheard. On this project he collaborated with Vanessa, Mollie, Corey, Daisy, Jess, Kitty, Harper and Florence.

Features the voices of flint knapper Grant Williams and archaeologist Steve Patton.

Co-prodruced with The Devonshire Collective. Supported by the National Trust and the Changing Chalk Community Grants Scheme, and funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund, with thanks to National Lottery players.

Angus Carlyle Six or Seven Conveyor Belts in an Arctic Coal Mine

11 September 2026 10:00 am - 10:45 am

The closure of Gruv 7 mine in Arctic Svalbard in June 2025 ended a century of coal extraction on the archipelago. Just before the final shift, the Svalbard Museum’s Anatolijs Venovcevs and Haakon Unhammer Kvaale negotiated access and the miner Tarjei provided an expert ear. Deeper underground the tunnels got lower and the temperature dropped, each three-hour trip was experienced in a pulsing red zone of intensity yet I was only recording the edges of things - not working there for 10 hours straight on fourteen-day shifts with responsibilities for my own and my co-workers' safety. The sheer ferocity of the environment frequently defeated my field recording abilities, often too panicked to focus on the microphone or the recorder settings, these recordings of the six (or seven) conveyor belts clip and distort, surge, falter, harshness that contrasts with several conversations that share knowledge, care, awe and occasionally laughter. Artist bio: Angus Carlyle researches environments and atmospheres as embodiments of stress and relief, with listening becoming writing, recordings, photographs and films (and rarely performances). He often works alone but also shares creativity : since 2011 he engaged with Kozo Hiramatsu and Rupert Cox on projects related to civilian and military overflights; between 2005 and 2025, he collaborated with Cathy Lane and others on the Creative Research in Sound Arts Practice (CRiSAP) research centre; since 2021, he explored the Shoreham coastline with Simon James; and he worked with Katrin Losleben, Za Barron, Paula Ryggvik Mikalsen and Britta Sweers on Arctic Auditories.

Daniel Warner - An Exercise in Analysis, A Digital Radio Opera

11 September 2026 10:45 am - 11:00 am

An Exercise in Analysis is an electronic operatic setting of a 1917 play by Gertrude Stein. The play resists easy explanation, using fragmented, repetitive language and unconventional structure--numbered "Acts" and "Parts" instead of specific characters--that challenge traditional notions of dramatic presentation, thus forcing the reader to experience Stein's writing process itself. Here the reader must use "causal, semantic, and reduced listening" (see Michel Chion) to engage Stein's stream of consciousness--shifting contexts, changing voices, double entendres, and erotic word play, rather than being passive recipients of dramatic "meaning." My librettist Adam Frank made a treatment that used four actors performing the play, recorded on four separate audio tracks. I then took up the task of transforming their "speech" into "song" using analog and digital sound processing, including vocoders, pitch shifters, and pitch correction. As to what it means, I refer you to Stein's own words: "I have given up analysis." Artist Bio: Traversing classical modernism, experimental music, progressive rock, free jazz, and post-techno electronica, Warner's musical career has militantly transgressed musical boundaries. After starting out as a drummer in garage bands, Warner decided to become a composer upon discovering Edgard Varèse through the early music of Frank Zappa. He attended Princeton University, earning an M.F.A. and Ph.D. in computer music and composition with Milton Babbitt and Paul Lansky, and experimental music and improvisation with J.K. Randall. Warner has studied, taught, and performed widely in places such as NYC, Helsinki, Buenos Aires, Rome, Aarhus, Denmark, and most recently at CalArts in Los Angeles. danielwarnercomposer.godaddysites.com
Rebecca Wilcox and Hannah Ellul - Knot

11 September 2026 11:00 am - 11:30 am

Knot knits ideas around laboured language with moments of affective rupture—encounters where the material world and the sensing body come up against each other in unexpected ways. Working with voice, field recording and sound synthesis, we hone in on speech and sound as rhythm, depth and distance. We are interested in strategies of repetition, in the echo, the copy, the cast, the rehearsal, the mimic, the parrot, the ape. We are curious about the spatial and affective relationships of the copy–how intimacy and distance, attachment and detachment co-exist there. And in its time, too, in how it comes to be a kind of asynchronous conversation, with its own boundary-maintaining tendencies and commitments. Artist bios: Rebecca Wilcox lives in Glasgow and works with writing, audio and performance, often using voice as a tool. She's interested in apperception, infrastructures and the poetics produced between sensory engagements and the written and spoken word. Hannah Ellul is a Glasgow-based artist and musician working across forms, mostly in sound, publishing and performance. She often works collaboratively, including as part of the project Psykick Dancehall, which produced cross-disciplinary explorations of sound and aural experience with other artists and collectives. Together they have produced work for Broadside Gallery, Glasgow; Experimental Sound Studio, Chicago; BBC Tectonics Festival; Takuroku; and Radiophrenia. Website/social links hannahellul.com

1) Ernests Vilsons & Ada Ruszkiewicz - swing of the day - Lazaretes iela II

This "catalogue of noisy swing recordings" is an expanding catalogue of recordings that capture noisy swings co-created with Ada Ruszkiewicz. The catalogue is made up of several dozen sound recordings featuring squeaky, creaking, screeching or otherwise noisy swing sets. The reasons for swing noise are various – loose connections or fasteners, aging of the materials used in the construction of the swing, weather conditions affecting them, as well as the load and overload to which the swing is subjected. Although most of the recordings feature swings that only minimally differ in terms of mechanics, construction and materials used, their noise is never identical, providing a sound testimony to the environment in which the swing is placed. Swinging, photos – Ada Ruszkiewicz; Idea, recording, editing and mixing – Ernests Vilsons.

Artist bio: Ernests Vilsons is a Latvian composer living in Rīga. He writes music for acoustic instruments and electronic means, creates sound installations and performances, and collects field recordings. He is interested in harmony, time, silence, chance, representation and transcription.
E. Vilsons studied at the Institute of Sonology at the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague. His master's research project “Well-Structured Vocalizations: An Attempt To Imitate Birdsong” was awarded the Konrad Boehmer Foundation Prize in 2020.

2) Vanessa Rossetto - de geest

From the album 'The Professional'

Biography:
Vanessa Rossetto is an American composer and chipper-shredder, processing whatever sounds cross her path into sprawling, long-form narratives. Trained as a painter, Rossetto began working with sound in 2007 as a way to incorporate the element of time into her work. If you have met her, she probably recorded you.

3) Amble Skuse - All Who Are Weary and Heavy Laden I Will Give You Rest

Amble and Bosko explore what burdens we carry as disabled people. Bosko picks up burdens in the form of stones, weighting down his body and transforming his movement and physicality. We recorded Bosko moving rocks on a beach, dragging them to the shore. Using body sensors, Bosko's movement blends a series of audio interviews and videos on the theme of burden, weight, disability and mental health.

Artist bio: Amble is a composer and sound artist who uses disability theory, body sensor technology, spoken word interviews and electronics to create unique sound works. She is interested in the interface between the disabled body and the exterior world, and has explored this through numerous sound walks using her wheelchair. Amble is a Royal Philharmonic Society Composer 24/25, recently won a Special Commendation Daphne Oram Award for her work in electronic music, and was selected as Scotland’s representative for the International Society Contemporary Music Festival 2024.

4) Sophie Sleigh Johnson - Bishop Ooze

From the album 'Nuncio Ref!' - the first-baked tape works of one Sophie Sleigh-Johnson.

A collection of tele-vision canticles and psychic reportage from the bleary shores of Southend, featuring hotly anticipated fragments from the unearthed transcript of Leonard Rossiter’s lost Mystery Play.

As Rogation Ceremonies became obligatory again, the main technical problem was Bishop Ooze tracing time on damp walls: so, might these same tracks yet index the whereabouts of Mr. Prance, DJ?

And lo, from the rumblings of this grim chorale, you’ll get your fair share of the Reel Artikel, as much an inflammatory Kelp Pit Synod as the apostate’s mandate to walk in Big News.

Holsten?

5) Tony Morris – Dark red id

Tony Morris has been a fixture on the Glasgow underground music scene for the past several years and dabbles in most of the genres that typify it: from the avant garde to dance music. He sees himself as a kind of deviant cabaret artist who spills his guts on stage to a soundtrack of electronica. Being 73 years old, he has listened to an awful lot of music in his time and channels those memories into his act which is a compendium of tropes from Ready, Steady Go, Chicago blues clubs, his own dreams and whatever venue he happens to be playing in. He specialises in 1-minute duration ‘kind of’ songs – often with accompanying videos. There are hundreds of them on his Instagram account. This is one of them.

Tony Morris will be performing with his leaf blower as part of our live-to-air performances on Saturday, the 19th September. Tickets available through Eventbrite – see the Radiophrenia website for more details.

YoshimiO - Gutta ta Aaata（グッタタアアアータ）

11 September 2026 12:00 pm - 12:40 pm

I love spending time at home. For nearly 10 years now, right in front of our house has been a forest of evergreen broad-leaved trees in the satoyama. I can observe the lives of creatures other than humans there. During the rainy season, moss clogged our gutters, and the sound of raindrops falling through them began to create an unpredictable rhythm. I played the electric piano in my room while listening to the rhythm of the raindrops. My family recorded it on Zoom. When the “Higurashi” cicadas start chirping, the rainy season ends. It’s always like that. Collecting the sounds of my home and jamming with them soothes my sound-filled mind. The snoring of a friend who sleeps well at our house sounds like a didgeridoo player offering a prayer for a good night’s sleep. There are moments like my solo performance at YoshimiO at Shiso-kan, a place dear to us. And sometimes I go to a studio with people I trust and pour out my desire to bring all these sounds together. I love singing while channeling my breath through a flute—sometimes a KHEAN, sometimes an ARGOZA.

わたしたちの家で過ごすことが好きです。もう10年ちかく家の目の前には里山における照葉樹林の森があります。人以外の生き物の暮らしを観察することもできます。梅雨のあいだ、家の雨どいに苔がつまり、雨どいを通って落ちる雨垂れ音は予測のつかないリズムを刻みだしました。うちの雨垂れビートを聴きながら部屋の中でエレピを弾きました。家のひとはZOOMで記録しました。ひぐらしが鳴き始めると梅雨はおわります。いつもそう。家の音の収集とその音たちとのセッションは音にあふれたわたしの脳を癒します。うちでよく寝れた友人のいびきは良き睡眠がとれますようにと祈りのディジリドゥー奏者のようです。わたしたちの大事な場所、四三館でのYoshimiO solo演奏など。そしてときどき気の知れたスタジオにいき、それらをまとめたいという想いを吐き出します。わたしはわたしの呼吸を笛に通しながら歌うことが好きです。ときには KHEANに、ときにはARGOZAに。

IRIDE PROJECT - Core de Mamme (Mother's Heart)

11 September 2026 12:40 pm - 1:00 pm

Core de Mamme (Mother's Heart), is synonymous of nurturing motherly love, but sometimes is used ironically...
This hilarious Audio Drama takes place 70 year ago in a small southern Italian rural village.
A widowed mother praises her only daughter as virtuous and dedicated housewife.
The woman, very proud of herself, tells a lady neighbor how, with the help of the priest, she arranged a wealthy marriage for the girl in spite of their limited means.
The nosy neighbor is obviously very interested in knowing all details, and inquires about the whole negotiation. Only afterwards, with the nonchalant ease of an experienced gossiper, she reveals to the poor mother that everyone in the village knows that the marriage must be celebrated but only because her “virtuous” daughter is pregnant.

2 Norhan Hawala and Max Levin - Silence (3:48)

3 Paloma Klisys and Cíntia Molter - Frecuencia3TriadIIPieceI (10:12)

1) Tara Guram - Coral Reef

i: Shimmer, 2: Jellyfish (1:31), 3: Shoals (2:30), 4: Bubbles (3:31), 5: Sea Statues (5:34), 6: Undercurrent (6:58), 7: Pulse (9:14), 8: Sky (10:40)

I prepared my piano inserting blu-tack between its strings.

The intention was to create a muffled, underwater soundscape, completely submerged from the world above.

The core material (Shimmer, Shoals, Sea Statues, Pulse) elicits the muffled shimmer of the shallower waters of the coral reef. Suffused light, the delicate movement of flora and fauna, and the gentle playfulness of the waves are depicted by the rhythmic drive and melodic figures used.
The other four pieces involve extensive electronic manipulation.
Jellyfish wobbles like the transformational movement of the jellyfish.
Bubbles evokes a deep-sea dive, with the pitches popping like bubbles through the background “breathing”.
Undercurrent has a sinister feel depicting the frightening, immense power of the ocean.
Sky is a meditation. It has “glints” of sound, as if lying on the coral bed, watching the sun glinting in and out of focus through the clouds, and subverting lens of the water.

Initially a geneticist, Tara Guram (b. 1971) was subsequently a prize-winning postgraduate composition student at the Royal College of Music. Her music has been played from the Southbank Centre to Carnegie Hall, and has been broadcast by the BBC, and by television and radio stations worldwide. Guram’s pieces have been recorded and released with Sargasso Records, Navona Records, Ravello Records, NMC Recordings and Media Tracks.

2) Norhan Hawala and Max Levin - Silence

Silence is a track made in collaboration between Norhan Hawala in Cairo, Egypt and Max Levin in New York, United States during early covid. The collaboration relied on correspondence via email and other social platforms and based on a fresh friendship that was established right before the pandemic hit in Washington DC before the two collaborators' unexpected departure from the city. Both were dealing with unfamiliar kinds of grief and navigating the isolation of early covid that left a lot of room for reflection. After long conversations, Max shared a track that he's been working on , Norhan improvised and recorded Silence in a one improvisational session and sent it back to Max. After a bit of back and forth, the track was finalized and released.
A sculptor, illustrator, dancer and songwriter-from Cairo,Egypt. Born in 1991, Norhan spent her childhood daydreaming and listening to imaginary narrators, turning the mundane to the magnificent. Writing roba3iat along with her drawings, never she thought of pursuing singing until one -open mic-night where she joined her friend Freddy on stage with his band. Soon after that she joined the Afro-punk band in Washington DC, naming it “Kushari”, Writing and singing in Arabic. Just as the band was about to record their music, Freddy passed away. Norhan wrote “you Left Early” which would be later the first song of “Always Here”

3) Paloma Klisys and Cíntia Molter - Frecuencia3TriadIIPieceI

A condensed radio work focused on listening, presence, and the materiality of sound, emerging from an ongoing process. Built through a precise architecture of 42 layers, the piece establishes a singular phonographic landscape in which the specific cadences of Cuban and broader Latin American discourses are stitched into field recordings captured under unusual conditions and scenes of everyday life. As the first sonic work of a second artistic triad, this composition presents itself as a hand-crafted assembly of cross-border listenings — a convergence between Caribbean and Latin vocal densities, radio interferences, and the abstraction of a signal in motion.

Frecuencia 3 is a poetic, interdependent process by writer/artist Paloma Klisys and multi-artist Cíntia Molter, open to collaborations. Now in its 4th year, this long-term project was selected for Tsonami (2023), Irradia (2024), and the 15th Havana Biennial (2025). Paloma Klisys acts as the architect of sound montages, crafting high-density phonographic landscapes that merge technical precision with absolute sound presence.

1) Roy F Guzmán - Criollismo

The work corks with Puerto Rican folkloric instruments in an acousmatic idiom that is informed by complexity and the use of one shot sampled material. The work develops different sonic energies and propositions that are characteristically dense, sparse and complex. The word Criollismo is like mulato or mestizo, a mixed race.

Roy F Guzmán - Poet, conceptual and sonic artist, composer and improviser born and based in San Juan, Puerto Rico -1987. His compositions are primarily exploratory and work with alternative modes of musical communication. He develops the use of sound scores within the concept of "transduction/abstraction". He currently explores instrumental spectral music using non standard synthetic chaotic function's sonic spectrum as base material, "música a lo pobre", non-duality, multipolarity, axioms, Puerto Rican and Caribbean folklore in contemporary classical music and acousmatic music, the liminal state between sound art and music regarding eternity as a common link, and fictional artistic philosophy based on creative deductions from Taíno/Boricua abstract metaphysics.

He has performed and/or presented works in The Hague and Amsterdam- The Netherlands, Bratislava-Slovakia, Budapest-Hungary, Vienna-Austria, Rhode Island, Boston, New York, California-USA, Banff-Canada, Poas-Costa Rica, Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Ecuador, Colombia, Italy and Switzerland

2) Nils Loret - Dance Without Eyes - Episode 1 : Transmettre

In May 2025, at the Centre National pour la Création Adaptée in Morlaix (France), choreographers Nathan Arnaud and Saïd Gharbi, both visually impaired, conducted research into dance composition without the use of sight. Together, they explored modes of transmission based on voice, breath, body sounds, and touch. This work is part of the long-term Dance Without Eyes laboratory, which opens up new choreographic paths by creating a space for artists affected by visual impairment to meet.
Very quickly, the idea arose to create a resource for sharing this unique experience. The Dance Without Eyes podcast, produced with the complicit ear of Nils Loret and enriched by the sound creations of sound designer Clément Mandin, will give listeners a glimpse of the stories, practices, and reflections that fueled this first laboratory.

Nils Loret is an author, sound director, and performer. His work explores the power of intimate narratives and is rooted in a queer approach to writing. He points his microphones toward those whose voices are too often marginalized, seeking to capture the uniqueness of their experiences and the beauty of their flaws.

Louisa Fairclough - The world went out of tune with itself

11 September 2026 2:00 pm - 2:30 pm

The sound piece draws from a written testimony in which I have endeavoured to convey the distinct logic of my thought processes and the associations I was making during a lengthy psychosis. The monologue is non-chronological and echoes my fragmented memories. My spoken voice overlays a digital soundtrack in which I have woven together vocal pieces and music that I made on my computer whilst experiencing mental distress: an archive of that time.

Artist bio:

‘The world went out of tune with itself’ is part of a wider auto-ethnographic project exploring Louisa Fairclough’s lived experience of psychosis funded by an Arts Council England DYCP award, and will be performed at Figments: Madness, Health & Creativity conference at University of Glasgow, June 2026. Louisa’s solo show, Mental Falls, was at Danielle Arnaud Gallery (2024) and MIRROR Arts University Plymouth (2025). To coincide with Mental Health Awareness Week, Louisa curated Welcome to my World, a weekend programme of artists' screenings, performances and talks at the Arnolfini in Bristol in May 2025. Louisa is co-founder of BEEF (Bristol Experimental & Expanded Film).

Deafnode - Xenofield Notes

11 September 2026 3:00 pm - 3:30 pm

This work tells the story of xenobiologists exploring new territories and life forms on an alien planet broadcasting the events in an aesthetic of lost radio waves and a fragile documentation being retrieved from an extraterrestrial archive. The concept deals with topics that is the focus of my work: documenting a fragmented world against the backdrop of my sensorineural hearing loss, recognising and reflecting on how we deal with the unknown as a mirror of how we deal with our identity. It approaches the idea that when confronted with the utmost strangeness, we may encounter ourselves and gain insight into the ideological beliefs, fears, and prejudices that influence us. The aim is not to cement the dualistic poles between otherness and self, but to attempt to overcome them - and maybe to create a new identity?

Artist bio:

Deafnode is the sound and research practice of Hamburg-based artist Gaetano Rago. He is researching how the severe sensorineural hearing loss he has lived with since early childhood shapes hearing and perception and combines ethnographic methods with experimental sound design. Working with modified tape machines, looping systems, and custom Max patches, he explores how sound transforms and distorts as it passes through machines, memory, and the brain. He work primarily with dancers and visual artists and is part of the international collective Exposure Therapy, which explores the politics and poetics of auditory experience.

John Barry & Charlie Findley - Distant Thunder, Invisible Generation

11 September 2026 3:30 pm - 4:00 pm

Invisible Generation is a previously unpublished audio collaboration between Glasgow based artist John Barry and composer producer Charlie Findley, mashing time travel experiments of William Burroughs with revolutionary proposals of Glasgow born Alexander Trocchi. Burroughs believed constructed sound tracks could influence and create events, imagining the invisible generation as unseen agitators creating holes in time. Barry and Finlay's work uses Burroughs belief in time travel extrapolation to extend Trocchi's Invisible Insurrection of a Million Minds, a coup de monde, a cultural revolt that would outflank national governments using a million potential “technicians of change”. Using archive footage and field recordings the work makes links to climate activism and the right to protest today. Conceived as part of a larger body of work called Distant Thunder, Invisible Generation recreates protest actions of the Roberts Arudel Strike 1967,68 that radicalized protestors, a long standing action that almost led to a general strike. Artist bios : John Barry artist and writer is passionate about human stories and working class culture, inspired by individual's determination to overcome adversity. I make work that overlay systems, revealing structures that lever change in communities, exploring psychological power structures and imbalances that often underpin progress.

1) Alexandre Sperandeo Fenerich - The Report of Stones and Shells

The piece poetically tells the visit to Madam Romana's ranch on the city of Natividade, in the center of Brazil. It brings sound elements from the Brazilian cerrado - an almost desert landscape of that region - from sound recordings made on 2025 at the Jalapão State Forrest Reserve, and also at the city of Natividade. It has the author's perspective - a skeptical musician touched by Madam Romana's devotion and her spiritual mission.

Alexandre Sperandéo Fenerich is Brazilian composer, flutist, teacher, and sound designer. He holds a bachelor's degree in composition from Unicamp (2001), a master's degree in music from UFRJ (2005), and a doctorate in musicology from USP (2012). He works with musical composition on digital media, focusing on live electronics. He has participated in international projects as a composer and sound designer in Germany, Portugal, and Brazil, as well as in several music and digital arts festivals. He has released the albums: “Música Eletroacústica: 10 anos” (2014), “Coleção Peripatética de Sons” (2019), and “Fragmentos de Caminhos (2024).

2) Florence-Delphine Roux - Cime

Cime proposes a disruptive ascent into the soundscape of one of Quebec's most mysterious peaks, Mont-Saint-Hilaire. Embedded in the collective imagination of the residents of Montérégie, this mountain has inspired numerous legends, with myths that endure, fueled by new beliefs related to the paranormal. The artist will navigate between capturing ambisonic soundscapes, natural very low-frequency radio signals, and analog and granular synthesis.

This work draws from phonographic archives created as part of a performative research project on extrasensory literacy and disruptive listening of the Gault Nature Reserve.

Florence-Delphine Roux is a digital and sound artist originally from Quebec City and based in Tiohtà:ke/Montreal. Her work explores the intersection of art, science, and technology, with a focus on the medium of radio. Her creations take the form of listening experiences, immersive sound installations, performances, video art, and radio works. Driven by a sound-based practice, largely sourced from material stored from outdoor recordings, Florence-Delphine Roux's work is significantly based on the possibility of playing with textures that are not perceptible to the eye, particularly electromagnetic fields, thus contributing to a disruption of reality.

3) daria baiocchi – Gelb

Wrapped in noise, the opening of this work draws the audience into a raw environment with an evolving texture. The various sections, bound together by the fil rouge of pure sounds flecked with varied repetitions of white noise, are followed by repeated sounds with differing envelopes—sounds that recount a lunar myth in which the sonic material acquires reverberations and echoes of distant memories. The memory of the sonic material is allegorically transformed and interspersed with impulses encircled by filtered elements belonging to the primordial matrix. The suspended shadow of a sonic line sways between timbral sounds and delay times, multiplying and ultimately returning upon itself.

4) Carey Lin and Gabriel Gilder - Listen Lab Sound Club (California, 2016–2018)
This sound piece is a collage of various field recordings we made around California from 2016–2018. It was originally created for the 2018 group exhibition ‘California Walkscapes’ at Incline Gallery in San Francisco. Our California soundscape includes recordings of antique pinball machines, squeaky doors, subway musicians, tossing rocks down a hill, angry squirrels and more. Listening to these layered field recordings without any visual cues is like walking through a place blindfolded — picking up the details, the background you might otherwise overlook, the laughing strangers walking by, music from a passing car.

Carey Lin and Gabriel Gilder are San Francisco-based visual artists who have collaborated since 2016. Their practice has taken the form of film and video, animation, sound compositions, publications and interactive walking tours. Recent work has been showcased at the San Francisco Independent Short Film Festival (2021); APAture Festival’s Visual Arts Showcase (2023); the West Virginia Mountaineer Short Film Festival; and “Exquisite Corpse” at Millenium Film Workshop (2025).

6) Dominic Pillai - 500 KHz: Above the Sea & Below the Sky

This sound work engages with Dover's South Foreland Lighthouse from which Guglielmo Marconi sent the first international wireless transmission in 1899.

Dominic Pillai is a multidisciplinary artist working across moving image, sound and the written word. Trained as a visual anthropologist his work is often ethnographic in nature, depicting subject matter informed by cultural environment and lived experiences through themes of cultural identity, memory, psychogeography and sensory experience. He has currently showcased work at Cannes Film Festival, Tate Liverpool, Manchester Contemporary and The Lowry. Dominic also creates music under the name THAMBI (தம்பி), with tracks that have been released on experimental record label Industrial Coast and broadcast on Stuart Maconie’s Freakzone on BBC 6 Music.

7) Berk Yagli - False Awakening on a Mediterranean Island

This piece is a personal journey through the experiences of being born and growing up on an island with complex cultural, political, and historical roots. An identity crisis, the hegemonic competition among political actors over culture, political narrative, and the collective subconscious, with its consequent decay, contrasts strangely with the beauty of the island and its warmth. After leaving the island at 18, this became further problematised through the questions of what home is. I felt strong connections and disconnections between where I grew up and where I lived afterwards, realising that identity and belonging can continue to evolve in subtle ways. Making every moment of interaction with the space and culture dynamic, as the individual affects the space, and in turn, it affects the individual. I aim to connect my journey and realisations with the ongoing social and political decay going on in the world.

Berk Yağlı (born 1999) is a Cypriot guitarist, composer, and producer. His mission with his music has been to address social, political, and philosophical matters, inviting listeners to reflect on these topics. He is working on hybridisation between electroacoustic music and metal as part of his PhD at the University of the Arts London. His works have been presented internationally at over 100 festivals in more than 30 countries. He regularly composes his music in studios around the world. He won more than 15 awards in international composition competitions.

8) Ramin Takloo-Bighash - Woman, life, freedom
This piece weaves several found and recorded clips centering around women’s struggle for the recognition of their personhood, originally intended to be use for the films that I have worked on. This transmission features sound recordings from a Woman, Life, Freedom protest in Iran, the sound environment of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, excerpts from “The Feminine Mystique”, of my daughter humming to herself, etc.

Ramin Takloo-Bighash (b. 1974, Iran, MFA University of Illinois at Chicago, 2023) is a queer Chicago-based multi-disciplinary artist. In his work, Ramin explores immigration, war, trauma, isolation, and imprisonment—experiences that are very personal to him. A basic question that Ramin grapples within in his practice is: what happens to language in the face of trauma? Persian calligraphy, and its, often wordless, incarnations in painting, sculpture, and cartography, forms the core of Ramin’s artistic practice. Other than calligraphy, painting, and sculpture, Ramin’s practice also includes writing, music, sound, photography, and film.

9) Paul Collins - Radio Spots - Sécurité Sociale
This is a series of 17 one-minute radio-spots that use the radio itself as the primary source material. Random FM stations, in both Canada and France, were recorded and then manipulated using a variety of experimental methods and techniques. These one minute radio-spots are not designed to be played as a continous piece, but as individual elements, punctuating a day's programming or broadcast. A minute here, a minute there.

Paul Collins is a Toronto-born, Paris-based visual artist and musician. His paintings are represented by General Hardware Contemporary, Toronto. His prints are published by Michael Woolworth Publications, Paris. His most recent recording, Bez Vremena (2025), with Quentin Rollet and Marija Kovacevic, is now out on Astre d'Or Records. Collins is an active member of the Paris experimental music scene, playing frequently in such venues as Les Instants Chavirés, La Guillontine, Le NonJazz, Le Chair de Poule and Le Peine Perdue. He was a member of the Glenn Branca Orchestra.

Velvet Vulva - Clownscape (live in the studio)

11 September 2026 5:00 pm - 5:30 pm

The piece I’d like to propose for Radiophrenia 2026 is ‘Velvet Vulva – Clownscape’ a live broadcast/performance exploring the maiden archetype through memory, nostalgia, and distortion. Using children’s toys as instruments such as plastic keyboards, toy microphones, bubble guns, small percussion — I weave a fragile sonic tapestry that draws on the textures of memory through sound.

The noises start soft, lullaby like, Lynchian and sentimental, then expand and descend into cinematic noise. Clownscape moves between tenderness and overwhelm, holding girlhood as fragile, sacred, and sweet. The piece reflects and celebrates the fleeting fragility of youth, where nostalgia can comfort and unsettle all at once.

Spoken word and playful poems drift through memory, looping, breaking, repeating. Dressed as a clown, I can (if possible) move through the space, letting the performance spill into the room. It is my intention that the piece be an immersive experience ,where memory is ignited and the maiden archetype shimmers strangely and unsteady.

Artist bio:

Clare/Speculum Bunny’s practice spans performance, sound, video, and embodied ritual. Drawing on her background as a bodyworker, somatic sound artist, and magickal practitioner, she works with repetition, endurance, and sensory layering to explore emotional thresholds, female archetypes, and transformation. Her performances often engage the audience, embracing the uncomfortable through absurdity, collapse, and invocation, blurring softness, control, and immersive catharsis. Improvisation is central to her work. She has released over six albums as Speculum Bunny, performed the four-hour durational piece BANSHEE at Tramway in 2023, and is developing larger, more immersive performances in 2026.

Selenium Dust Particle: Klankhof / Soundgarden

11 September 2026 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm

Klankhof / Soundgarden is an adaptive installation built around the sonic language of Selenium Dust Particle. It is conceived for a garden in Nieuwpoort, the hometown of Selenium Dust Particle.  The work presents sound as an architectural force: patterns expand, contract, and reorganize themselves in response to visitor movement. By integrating sensor-based interaction with generative sound algorithms, the installation operates as an acoustic ecosystem.  Selenium Dust Particle’s soundscapes—known for their granular detail and evolving layers—form the primary material from which this system grows.  In Klankhof / Soundgarden, the visitor/listener enters a continuously shifting environment where sound behaves like a natural organism, creating a space for contemplation, exploration, and heightened auditory focus.

Sasha Baraitser Smith - Shabbat Time (live stream / in the studio)

11 September 2026 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm

Shabbat Time is a weekly radio performance that I broadcast live from my living room in Glasgow’s Southside. It begins on Fridays, 18 minutes before sunset, when I open my microphone. I read out loud from a score that I write during the week. I also leave gaps. You hear the space as much as my voice.

Shabbat Time began as practice-research alongside my dissertation project Weak Times. Currently the scores are tied to this research, interested in time(s) of study, reading and writing, but the work is responsive and personal so its focus shifts.

Shabbat Time builds on Ensemble Radio Reading (ERR), a reading practice I have experimented with for some time, and Radio With Palestine which I make as part of Soundcamp (see bio).

Artist bio:

I am a performance maker and creative geographer studying in Glasgow. I work through writing, ecological performance and activist radio. My practice is spatial and textual, exploring the interactions between humans and the more-than-human worlds we inhabit. As a creative geographer, I try to work between fields of enquiry, with the outputs of my work being a mixture of live performance, radio work and research papers. I am also a director of the arts co-operative Soundcamp, with whom I make Ecological Activist Radio, produce our annual festival and mix the 25-hour radio broadcast Reveil.

1) Amar Ruiz - Comment on l'a regardée

Comment on l’a regardée (How she was looked at) is a sound piece stemming from an ongoing research project called story of a singer with no voice, aboutaf Kadoudja, an algerian singer from the XIXth century. In the sound piece we ear a rearranged song from Kadoudja, played by sampling tapes, and followed by a voice telling her story. This piece questions the archives that were left about her and how she was portrayed in them.

Amar Ruiz is a multidisciplinary artist born in 1998 in Grenoble (France), and based in Brussels (Belgium). With a practice mainly sound-based, taking the form of installations or performances, he is interested in the narration of History, and the History of the Algerian diaspora.

2) Matilde Meireles – Three

Three compiles raw biodiversity recordings collected around Stranmillis Weir into a looping, exploratory narrative that examines the rich yet incomplete nature of field recording. The recordings include animal calls, animal movements and the occasional sound distortion. A narrator catalogues both recorded species and those present but absent from the sound files — exploring the gaps between actual presence and what technology can document in a fleeting period of time.

DRIFT was a collaborative floating architectural installation and public space that fostered new perspectives on city-river connections along Belfast's River Lagan during summer 2024. As part of this exploration, Wild Belfast—a Belfast-based conservation advocacy group—documented biodiversity around the pavilion using a Wildlife Acoustics Song Meter across a 4-day period within a 500-metre radius. DRIFT was commissioned by Belfast City Council and brought together OGU Architects, MMAS Architects, and myself.

Matilde Meireles is a sound artist and researcher who makes use of field recordings to compose site-oriented projects. Deeply exploratory, blending improvisation and other sonic flows with multiple approaches to recording, her work takes shape through live performances, installations, album releases, community-driven projects, workshops and both academic and creative publications.

3) Sean G. Meggeson - The Capacity to Be Alone: Spoken Word & Soundscape

The Capacity to be Alone is a spoken word and soundscape suite of tracks comprised of fragments, broken utterances, trace narratives and everyday sounds that interact in an ecology of place, affect and selves. Part memoir and self-analysis, Capacity is an exploration of psychic conflict, recovery and acceptance. The Capacity to Be Alone is a direct reference to the 1958 psychoanalytic paper of the same title by Donald D. Winnicott in which he posits the notion that the capacity to be alone is not achieved through isolation but rather from the childhood experiences of integrating one’s self in the presence of another whereby a child develops an internal capacity to be alone when having to confront actual isolation later in adult life. Without this internalization one suffers but hopefully can build one's own internal capacity to be alone. Capacity is an invitation to feel and think about this struggle.

Sean G. Meggeson is a poet and video/audio/spoken word artist, living in Toronto, Canada where he works in as a psychoanalytic psychotherapist with his dog, Tao. He has been published in Antiphony, bethh, Die Leere Mitte, Ice Floe, Version9Magazine and others. He won the League of Canadian Poet’s Spoken Word Award in 2024. Meggeson has published three chapbooks, Cosmic Crasher (Buttonhook, 2024), ta o/j, and soma synthesis (both from lippykookpoetry, 2025). Forthcoming: a full-length poetry collection, j: poems (primitive press, Toronto, 2026). Video poems forthcoming in IceFloe, and Infocalypse Press.

1) Yuxin Hu - After Work

The piece uses the sounds of office workers and office supplies to create looping structures, through which I try to explore the shifting relationships between social individuals and the objects surrounding them:
What kinds of gaps exist between you and the tools you work with?
Do certain loops continue even after you leave the office?
And what is the loop—or the distance—between your social self and your after-work self?

Yuxin Hu is a sound artist based in the Netherlands. or you can call her a noiser. She creates experimental music, sound installations, and free improvisation, or interdisciplinary artwork based on an acoustic-electronic approach. "Acoustic" means all the sound sources are from realism, while "Electronic" lets it lean a bit to surrealism. Currently, she is a music master in Sound of Innovation, ArtEZ University of Arts. She is doing research on making free improv based on daily life objects such as Bluetooth mouses, cups, shelves, etc., aimed at speaking for daily life objects and freeing them from their default functions.

https://yuxinhu.com/

2) Olivia McCannon - 'Tablet' from The Lives of Z

'Tablet' is a sound piece grown from one of the poems of The Lives of Z (Pavilion Poetry 2025). I turned to sound to create after-lives for the poems, as I wanted to keep them moving, to retranslate their presence beyond the page. If a poem is owned by the cyclical, recycling energies of Earth, where and how might it decompose and transform?

Each of these poems is speculatively imagined as an object or artefact unearthed from an environment in which humans are a toxic trace, a remixed memory or a misplaced presence. They respond to a need to imagine alternative ways of being, with and within the extractivist ruins of English, and the landscapes and lives it has shaped and devastated.

My sound project-in-progress seeks to question the place of human authority and offer poems as polyphonic experiences, whose voices belong to complex human and more-than-human soundscapes.

Olivia McCannon is a writer of poetry and fiction and an emerging sound artist. Born on Merseyside, she has lived in Paris, London and elsewhere.

Her sound pieces have so far been heard and performed at The Engine Room (Morley College), Liverpool University, London Arts-Based Research Centre, Galway (ASLE), and on a cassette produced by Dasein and premiered at Artspace Juraplatz in August 2025 (Bienne, Switzerland).

Poems from The Lives of Z have appeared in Dark Mountain, Shearsman Magazine and the Forward Prize Anthology, and the book was published in 2025 by Pavilion Poetry (Liverpool University Press).

3) Paul Collins - Radio Spots - That Ol'Time Religion

11 September 2026 9:30 pm - 10:00 pm

The idea of this media project is an immersive intimate experimental audio play. The work provides a listener with an experience of intimacy and fosters closeness between the sounding and the consumer. Motivation for the choice of a project is a long time interest in exploring the genre of audio play. Moreover, this project becomes a next step in a personal ongoing research on extended vocal practices and human voice as an instrument. The work on this project includes research on the genre specifications of an audio play, areas for experimentation and approach to script writing; deepening knowledge on vocal exploration methods; developing approaches and techniques that provide intimate experience through sound; defining overall sound aesthetics.

Artist bio:

I come from a background in academic painting and contemporary fine art, having originally worked in painting, sculpture, and moving image media. My creative journey has taken me through six universities, ultimately leading me to discover my passion for the intersection of visual and sonic art and, ultimately, to sound art. So far i've been working with sound on its own, exploring its agency, as well as body+sound explorations.

3 Marc-Antoine Granier - To cross (11:14pm) (6:58)

1) Rei Loci - Storm Requiem
Storm Requiem is a radiophonic memorial built from the language and sound of extreme weather. As oceans warm and storms intensify, the work centres on the practice of retired storm names—those removed from circulation after causing exceptional loss of life or damage. These names are recited as a memorial reading, marking absence rather than classification. The piece traces the evolution of storm naming systems, from coordinates to names, through bureaucratic retirement rituals, to the moment in 2020 when climate-driven storm frequency exhausted prepared lists and forced the use of Greek letters, signalling a system pushed beyond its limits. Composed from synthesis, vocal monologues, meteorological transmissions and hydrophone ice recordings, the work blends human and natural sound through spectral processing. A continuous Shepard tone underpins the piece, creating the illusion of perpetual escalation, echoing how “unprecedented” events become normalised. Melodic fragments surface briefly before dissolving into radio noise, mirroring systemic collapse

Rei Loci is the musical moniker of Craig Ritchie Allan, having varied acclaimed releases of electronic music on imprints Seventh Sign, Headspace, Downlow Music, Bosconi and Partout; A further 3 eps were released under the Numbercult banner in 2009, the name 'Numbercult' later solely becoming the repository of his A/V and artistic work, this work investigates how algorithmic thinking can be transformed into meaningful audio-visual experiences, this work has included developing real-time generative animations for the likes of Max Cooper, modular synth guru Richard Devine and building interactive VR immersive environments for the Sonica Festival.

2) 53 CM - Le sentier au-dessus des villes
I imagined this sound piece as a walk through an imaginary city, blending different sound sources (urban noises, sounds of nature, drone elements, etc.). I used several samples that I repitched, detuned, and reworked using distortion and heavy reverberation. By playing with stereo space, a dialogue emerges between the different elements, forming a coherent and immersive soundscape.

53 CM is an electronic musician and producer based in Le Havre(France) crafting a personal sound that moves between ambient and noise. He is a sound artist who often collaborates with visual artists to create sound design for exhibitions and performances. He works from materials they provide — texts, images, or conceptual cues — and transform them into immersive soundscapes.

3) Marc-Antoine Granier - To cross (11:14pm)

This is the story of one night. Or several nights. One night a week, at midnight, for the past two years, I have been coming to place my microphone in a specific spot in the city.A secret place that I am particularly fond of. A place that tells a personal story for me, but above all, a place where sounds resonate beautifully. I settle down, record and leave.
Recording begins at the appointed hour. Water is also present in the night, like a tension that is breaking down. You have to cross it, swaying like a drunken boat, carried by the incessant ballet of our footsteps. The wind rubs against materials, creating surface effects.

Marc-Antoine Granier is a french sound artist, radio artist, composer and sound producer.
For more than twenty years, he has been recording and composing with all the sounds that pass through his instrument : the microphone.
His creations, in which intimate stories resonate with sounds, are at the crossroads of documentary, musical narration and sensitive writing. They explore the fragility of humanity, our relationship with the sound environment and our own stories. His work reflects a constant curiosity and a mixture of genres.

4) Emma Bowen - Morgawr

Inspired by some grainy black and white photos sent anonymously to The Falmouth Packet newspaper, in 1976, this short experimental soundscape attempts to bring to life the mythical Cornish sea serpent , Morgawr. This historic sea serpent sighting could be reinterpreted as evidence of real environmental threats, representing monstrous acts of human impact rather than natural creatures.
Made by recycling and piecing together old recordings and second-hand found sounds, a bit like an exquisite corpse, this sonic arrangement becomes a dreamscape for the photographs to inhabit.

Emma Bowen is an artist and facilitator, based in Scotland. She works collaboratively on bespoke learning, social care and AV art projects. She has made noises with and for other people at Edinburgh Art Festival, Glasgow International and Sci-Fi Theatre in Liverpool. She was awarded an honorary mention and best experimental audio - for 2 years - at Black & White Festival International Audiovisual, Portugal. She exhibits and screens work locally and internationally.

5) Colonial Skyway - Nike Sites Adjusting
For the last 10 years, Matt Anderson has been creating a form of drone soundscape music under the name Colonial Skyway, attempting to convey a sense of loneliness and space - something humans and nature both experience. In contrast, this work also gives voice to the forgotten machines and ignored systems of mechanized domestic service. At its basic form, this music is a celebration of unmelodic sound without the noise and hollering.

Sound sculpture made of stones and strings
Sound piece created from recordings of the stone and string sculpture built at the Land Light Festival. Teruel, 2025
Stones ring out, strings are plucked and rubbed, all of that and the surroundings appear soft but are still there. How do stones sound? How do I relate to that sound in the distance and what sound possibilities can be drawn from that material?

I am an Argentine composer, guitarist, singer, cultural producer and trainer residing in Barcelona since 2017.
In recent years I have dedicated myself to research within the framework of sound art, ASMR and contact microphones and deep listening to territories, motivated by combining the sound of my electric guitar and my voice with materials not intended for sound, taking space as sound poetics.
Experimental instrument making and the construction of sound sculptures are part of my practice.

8) Max Foucher - scarp and counterscarp
'scarp and counterscarp' samples a karaoke Adele and buries her chopped-up vocals (the scarp) inside a cacophony of shrills and ghostly wails (the counterscarp). It pits melody against discordance, singer against music industry. Ensnaring the voice, it offers a dark opinion on the trap(pings) of fame.

Max Foucher is a Scots/French composer of ambient and electro collages, regularly releasing short tracks, with video accompaniments, on Instagram. His debut album, 'Music For Landfill', featuring field recordings captured in Dubai, is expected later in 2026.

9) Una Walker - Mycelium sounds

I was reading about mycelial networks, how every fungal cell has the ability to develop into its own individual network and how every single hyphae creates its self in real time. The hyphae create the network at the same time as also carrying the water and nutrients allowing the network to grow in three dimensional space. And I asked myself what this might sound like. Mycelium sounds is one of the outcomes.

Una Walker is an artist and writer based at Flax Art Studios, Belfast. She has exhibited extensively in Ireland and internationally, making site and context specific installation, audio and video works, and works on paper. Many of these works have dealt with aspects of individual memory and on the construction of collective memory. Site specific installation works have been constructed in diverse locations including: military fortifications in Ireland, Scotland and Finland: a derelict factory in Poland; and a cathedral in Wales. Her audio and video works have been included on numerous broadcasting platforms and in international festivals including In Sonora,

10) philippe neau - payysages.mouvements

« payysages.mouvements.» is a sensitive and vibrant soundscape. Hearing opens to natural sounds. A haunting yet discreet melody sets the rhythm for the wandering. The result of a collection of field sounds, this piece emerges as a “sound painting” of a composite and experienced space surrounding the house. The forest, the garden, and the distant sounds of the city intertwine to “give life” to a composite, dense, and organic space. This site, through its very substance, makes itself present and resonates within us.

philippe neau, born in 1970, lives and works in Mayenne.
All my work attempts to shape an imaginary landscape. An attempt to create a "mental space." My music seeks to evoke these imaginary spaces through a non-narrative form.
The atmosphere can be dense. The contrasting sound palette plays with twilight hues. It envelops the listener/viewer, immersing them in the experience of an intriguing sonic space.

11) Jake Sandridge - FM Devotional

"FM Devotional" explores the topics of memory, distance, geography, and community. The foundation of this work is a series of field recordings and altered versions of those recordings. The field recordings are presented in both minimally edited forms and in highly altered forms. A primary manipulation of the field recordings involves a technique where the original recordings are broadcast over FM radio, while simultaneously being recorded through a radio receiver, thus introducing noise and distortion into the original recordings. Throughout the work, a sharp contrast is created by juxtaposing the distorted radio alterations with the original recordings. The field recordings serve as documentation of places and times, and the recordings being processed through the radio, along with the introduction of pitch elements, parallels the haziness and imperfection of one's memory of those places and times.

Jake Sandridge is a composer, educator, installation artist, and pianist. His interests lie primarily in experimenting with ways to incorporate interactive technology into sound, investigating ways in which sound and technology can create and strengthen community, and creating works that encourage audience and performer agency.

13) Water Feature - Various Birds - eurasian bog tit
A collection of somewhat convincing birdsong and foley created entirely on a small battery-powered drum machine. Many imaginary and fanciful 'species' including the Pond Bather, Golden Nuthatch and Brown Yipper are featured. A long-form sound collage of many species is the central work, and 'close-ups' are also included. In one sense the project is a sincere tribute to bird identification records and tapes one would find in garden centres in the 90s, of which the artists have a large collection. In another sense it is an uncanny objection to a contemporary relationship with nature that romanticises and objectifies it from a safe distance. The sounds have been sampled in records by other artists, used in an extended arrangement for an installation in the Jardin Des Plantes in Paris, presented with narration by a supposed ornithologist, and are played constantly via an internet radio station.

Water Feature is a 'collage band' formed of several contributors, creating utopian, absurd and low-fidelity environmental(ist) music. There is a strong reactionary and naive spirit to the project which aims to replace lifeless, boring, synthetic ambient music with an alternative chaotic, colourful and organic musique concrète. Recording and composition revolves around improvisation with cheap gear, tape-splicing and other uncivilised practices and accidents. 3 records (including Various Birds) have been released through the DIY Morsels label/collective.

robrrr - i like to be with animals / radar sem z živalmi

11 September 2026 11:00 pm - 11:30 pm

A jumble of sonic images of animals and humans interacting with them collected and mixed by robrrr_. Field recordings, clips from television and appropriations from social media form the basis of an exploration into the way we spend time with animals, play with them, parody them… The sound samples are manipulated, arranged and interwoven with original music to create a warm and playful ramble around the various ways we represent animals and use images of them to expose things about ourselves and our lifeworlds. In the clips, we sense the love and happiness that emanate from the interactions but, at the same time, the animals’ presence is often reduced, indirectly heard or otherwise cryptic, leading us to question if the subjectivity of the animals is given the space they really deserve. Originally broadcast on Radio Študent, Ljubljana, the title contains wordplay in Slovenian referring to its experimental sound platform 'RADAR'.

Artist bio:

Robbie Hopper is a musician, biologist, audio technician, curator and sound artist, working under the name robrrr_. Whilst originally hailing from the Scottish Borders, they have been living and working in Ljubljana now for almost a decade. They find making abstract compositions a comforting way of making sense of worldly wonders and horrors, and are currently particularly interested in radio and noise as subversive conduits for rebellion against oppression of various kinds. They invite you to greet your pet on their behalf.

Jim Lloyd - Night Community

12 September 2026 1:00 am - 1:30 am

This piece was produced for the 2024 Heritage Open Days event in, St. Mark’s Church, Ninebanks, Northumberland, England, which had the theme of ‘community’. The community I had in mind was the creatures of the night that inhabit the same physical space as us and yet we tend to be unaware of them. I recorded bats and other sounds overnight in the church yard using an ultrasonic microphone. I then slowed these recordings down to so that they are within the human audible range. Some of the slowed bat calls are discernible as their social or echo-location calls, whilst others are stretched to extremes using the PaulXStretch software to produce a drone-like sound. There are also calls of owls and shrews in the piece. I layered and combined these various elements to make a composition. Everything in the piece is derived from the overnight rural churchyard recordings.

Artist bio:

Jim Lloyd was a winner in The Rialto ‘Nature and Place’ poetry competition (2020). His poems have appeared in many places including: The Rialto, Stand, One Hand Clapping, Poetry Wales, and Nine Pens Press. He has an MFA (distinction) in Fine Art from Newcastle University, and has just complted an art practice-based PhD at Newcastle University which consider how we can imagine being an animal. This research uses multiple methods, including creative writing, drawing, photography and field recording. He lives in Northumberland, UK.

1) Aitana López Rodrigo & Sara Santana López - Malicious Track

This year, Sara has spent many hours copying the book Malicious Damage in the library of the Museo Reina Sofía. The only copy available to the public in Madrid is held there under the category of special materials, subject to a restricted regime of preservation and consultation. Her project Malicious Copy brings this story out of storage and back into circulation, reclaiming its legacy and updating its strategies.
Sara invited Aitana to create a piece documenting the process of copying. To do so, she composed a 40-minute audiovisual work in which the background noise of Sara’s study room is transformed through the manipulation of audio frequencies, highlighting the musicality, arbitrariness, and monotony of the copying process and intertwining them with Sara’s murmurs.

Sara Santana López is a visual artist. In her work, she explores the idea of a shared library as a flexible and participatory space in which, as a reader, she can simultaneously occupy the positions of author, mediator, and audience. To do this, she uses conversation and small scale, establishing a correspondence between the intimate and the collective. She lives in Madrid. Aitana López Rodrigo is a visual artist and filmmaker. Her practice spans different mediums, exploring mainly the concepts of value and labor through artistic interventions within workplace environments. She lives in Rotterdam.

2) Marcin Dymiter - Thousands, millions of meters of lost, recorded tapes

A sound collage "Thousands, millions of meters of lost, recorded tapes" dedicated to the cassette tape. The cassette tape was like papyrus, paper, or a notebook. It allowed content to be recorded—radio programs, songs, albums, but also (audio) letters, lectures, music rehearsals, poetry, and diaries.

Marcin Dymiter moves in the field of electronic music, field recording and improvised music. He creates sound installations, radio plays, exhibitions and public spaces. Author of the books “Field Notes” and “Machines for Silence”. Independent curator of sound art. Member of the Polish Association of Electroacoustic Music.

3) Catherine Noa - Release That

Release That explores my auntie's outcry to ease the weight on my siblings and myself from our late mother's decisions and shortcomings on what would be her 55th birthday.

Catherine Ashley is a Black multimedia designer and performance artist working across sound, installation, performance, and moving image. Guided by process and play, her work moves fluidly across disciplines. With a background in film, projection, theatre, and object-making, she creates layered environments that explore gesture, memory, and systems of transformation emphasized by visual and auditory experiences. Ashley has exhibited work across the Northeast and internationally, and holds an MFA in Digital + Media from RISD.

4) seah - between the lakes

"He died in a car crash between the lakes" was the official report on my younger brother's death last year. "between the lakes" refers to a stretch of land between Alcova and Pathfinder, in the mountainous high plateau lands just outside of our parents' home in Casper, Wyoming, USA. It's desolate. The day after my brother died, I flew to be with my parents. I drove out to the land "between the lakes" trying to find a trace of my brother's energy... hoping he would communicate with me or that I would at least feel him. There was nothing, just desolate. In the weeks the weeks following, I did the rituals and meditation as described in the Tibetan Book of the Dead. I never felt him, just emptiness ... yet, I kept the rituals and meditations going for the prescribed time. This composition is a meditation of that feeling space.

seah is the artist name for Chelsea Heikes, an artist and writer whose work focuses on Critical Feminist Posthumanism, the body, and reimagining relational ecologies. Having trained in somatic movement practices such as Butoh, Body Weather Laboratory, and Noguchi Taiso, seah uses the cultivated awareness of sensation to explore the posthuman body as a conduit within the myriad of ecologies on this planet. These movement practices embody Deleuze and Guattari’s nomadology, the shifting terrain of the psyche - a beingness that is fluid, always in transition, “becoming”. seah approaches sound from this space.

1) Ana Sorina Corneanu - Lyre Bird

The Lyrebird is an intimate, poetic audio drama following a woman who navigates illness, dementia, lost love, and the fragile boundaries between memory and identity. A delicate, lyrical piece about remembering, forgetting, and the human need to fly free. A 15-minute audio drama that immerses the listener in the fragmented consciousness of a woman nearing the end of her life. Living with the residues of cancer and the advancing fog of dementia, she prepares to leave her home for the Netherlands, where she has chosen euthanasia as a final act of clarity and dignity. Her mind fractures into three temporal selves — Happening (present), Diluted (past), and Metamorphosis (future) — each revealing a different layer of her memory and emotional landscape. Through lyrical monologues and vivid soundscapes, she revisits a love story with Nicole, a turbulent teaching career, her tango lessons in Argentina, and a deep, symbolic connection with Marcel.

2) Adrien Howard - Speaking A (for two voices)

Central to the work is a set of improvisational frameworks created for vocalists Axel and Christian Schneeberger to interpret and enact through predominantly non-linguistic modes of vocalisation. Shifting between ambient hums and moments of deliberate composition, the vocalists navigate a traversal of the voice—its internal contours and its relationship to the other. Axel and Christian’s improvisations work with both slippage and resonance as well as thresholds of instability through the different textural registers of the voice. Originally presented as a 4-channel audio installation, Speaking A (for two voices) has been adapted for different listening experiences.

Adrien Howard is a writer and artist, working independently and with others to shape interdisciplinary projects often embodied through writing, printed matter, voice, sound, and performance. They live and work on the Isle of Seil, on the west coast of Scotland. Their practice moves through the edges of language and the body—attuned to how they are held, shaped, and spoken within dominant structures. Often site-responsive, their work drifts between physical places and more intimate thresholds: the page, the voice, the body—each a site of inquiry and expression.

3) Douglas Marshall - Like Regular Chickens

This is the first track from an album released last month. It is inspired by the work of David Lynch, this track in particular is based on Eraserhead. Lynch's work has a lot of repeated motifs, one of which is the appearance of electricity in various forms, which I've incorporated here in the form of static and radio signals, which is why I'm sending this one to you. The vocal part is a poem written by my wife as part of her own similar project.

I'm also working on transforming this track in to a live version that I can actually play, this is a work in progress but it will incorporate the same sort of soundscape but without the vocal component and with additional live generated radio and EMF noise, I would be able and happy to stream this version if you would prefer that to the recorded track.

An electronic and sample based musician from Scotland, Unthank began releasing solo music in 2020 after a number of years working as a part of other groups. His work spans a mix of different genres including ambient, trip-hop, IDM, breakcore, electro, rock, and jazz never fully alighting on one thing for long. In recent times he has moved from purely recording music to the creation of art and sculpture featuring audio components and has exhibited in open calls at Glasgow's Six Foot Gallery, as well as producing videos on streaming platforms.

4) Adjowa Karikari - Meditation of the Electronic Drum

In this piece I am exploring experimentation with using my dj controller as an instrument. I have been researching the history of the talking drum from Ghana in connection with drums from China and Nepal and how they are connected. I wanted to display the sounds of the drum as a call and response mixed with the experimental highly digitized sounds of sin and cos waves by Ryoji Ikeda. I see electronic music at the frequency level similar to the rawness of the drum in which it invokes emotion that consist of comfort yet sometimes discomfort. I also wanted to show the connection between the meditation of Nepalese monks in the temple with the abstractness of noise music. We are increasingly merging our digital and natural worlds, this sound collage was an example of how that relationship is in my head. Hope you enjoy!

Ghanaian Toronto-based DJ, archivist, and curator, @999adj traces Black music histories through a forward-facing lens, where breaks collide with electro, jungle dissolves into techno, and rhythm becomes narrative. Founder of 999HEARD and the archival radio platform 999HEARDRADIO, 999ADJ’s selections are sharp, percussive, and emotionally charged.

1) Elisabetta Senesi•Ilaria Palloni - 50•91•Passaggi (in)Permanenti

The project is based on the theme of transition in everyday life as individual either as a community, and is focused on our first working experiences evolving in many ways over time. How have they changed us? What remains? How can we translate them into sonic thoughts? All these existential passages with their social implications can be transcribed, reimagined, and interpreted in new forms, abstract/ephemeral besides tangible/concrete. The piece is a partial released, ongoing soundwork, bringing together graphic scores, synthesized sounds, field recordings, acoustic clips and reshaped music, rhapsodically mixed and open to further sonic investigation in experimental composition.

Elisabetta Senesi - Artist and academic, she explores the relationship between sound and image, the everyday sonic spaces and aesthetical critical listening. Her work includes mixed media installations, public arts interventions, audio interactive works and experimental sonic compositions.

Ilaria Palloni - Flutist and musicologist, she collaborates with research groups in Italy and abroad, carries out her instrumental activity in various formations of chamber music, she teaches flute at some cultural associations with which she organises musical courses for children.

2) Phaune Radio - Promousse pour le Temps Flottant

Some languages trace themselves through the air; others are born in the night. Here, you will encounter words that exist nowhere else: spores, invented fragments, shards of perception not yet shaped. You do not need to understand them. You can let them pass. You can listen as one walks through a landscape, without searching for a map.
Promousse pour le temps flottant is a sonic piece structured in seven movements, where voice, sound and listening venture together into a porous territory. Language loosens its grip on meaning and becomes a material to inhabit rather than decode. The voice does not narrate; it advances by touches, pauses and slight displacements. Words appear, drift and dissolve, as if overheard between waking and sleep.
At the heart of the piece lies promousse, an invented word naming a fragile emergence: a moment when something begins to grow without yet taking shape.

Phaune Radio is an independent webradio founded by sound artist Floriane Pochon. Broadcasting 24/7 since 2013, it functions as both a curated stream and a laboratory for original sound creations, exploring listening as a relational and ecological practice beyond anthropocentric narratives and linear time.
Through sound pieces, soundwalks and site-specific works, Phaune Radio brings together soundscapes, voices, music, science and fiction. It cultivates porous dramaturgies and attentive modes of listening, often emerging from liminal states and off-peak temporalities, creating shifts in perception at the edges of habit and certainty.
Here, radio is a shared space for attention, imagination and care.

3) SASOR – ROSAS (LADO A) (17:57)
ROSAS marks the tenth anniversary of SASOR — the SAS Orkestra de Rádios — a collective that transforms antennas and radios into sculptural musical instruments activated through touch and real-time tuning. Founded in 2013 by Sónia Moreira, Ana Trincão and Simão Costa, the group works through a horizontal, co-creative structure that merges visual arts, performative movements and sound. Built from the collective’s personal and unpublished archive of recordings, the project revisits a decade of experimentation shaped by white noise, industrial acoustics, murmurs, disorder and the inherent unpredictability of radio waves. These volatile instruments generate loops, feedback and chance interactions between technology, DIY practices and performative gesture. Over time, SASOR incorporated rhythms, sampling, voices and natural elements, expanding its sonic vocabulary while maintaining its core radio-based identity. ROSAS culminates in new studio recordings that consolidate this trajectory and broaden the collective’s reach to wider audiences.

SAS Orkestra de Rádios (SASOR) is a meta-orkestra that builds and performs with unusual instruments made from analogue antennas and modified pocket radios, treated as sculptural sound objects that interact with radio waves. Touch between skin and antenna functions as the central sound modulator. Founded in 2013 by Sónia Moreira, Ana Trincão and Simão Costa—artists trained in Visual Arts, Performance and Music—SASOR developed a transdisciplinary, co-creative and horizontally directed identity. Its experimental practice embraces noise and improvisation, shared with audiences through concerts and hands-on workshops. In 2020, the group founded Circuito–Associação Cultural to further support its artistic projects.

1) The Catmull-Rom Players - Gears (Red Button) (17:49)

These sounds come from a chance-based installation by John Roach and Joe McKay. When a visitor presses one of three buttons on a console, a game appears on a screen that they can play – in this case the red button initiates “Gears.” When the game launches, two sound files created specifically for it (one with words and one with music) are randomly paired and become the soundtrack for the player’s actions. This special edit presents all of the words and music created for “Gears”.

WORDS in order:

Koray Caliskan, Matthew Rohrer, Otto von Busch, Evren Uzer, PJ Gorre, Anna Tsing (read by John Roach)

MUSIC in order:
Serena Stucke, Ranjit Bhatnagar, Thessia Machado, Sujae Jung and Wolf Stratmann, Six Lauture, Conncetta Abbate

We recommend that you listen while playing the game. It can be found here:
https://www.joemckaystudio.com/gears

The Catmull-Rom Players is a group that were invited by interdisciplinary artist John Roach to donate words or sounds to be used in conjunction with three games designed by media artist Joe McKay. The range of contributors is intentionally broad:
biologist, painter, poet, sound studies scholar, jazz composer, sound artist, percussionist, arts writer, urbanist, violinist, literary critic, electronic musician, etc.

Ross Whyte - Misophonics #1

12 September 2026 7:00 am - 8:00 am

Misophonics #1 is the first in a series of works which utilise recordings of unwanted, unpleasant, or distressing sounds (in this case a screeching seagull) and are transformed into ambient compositions. The project is inspired by my experience of misophonia (a disorder in which certain sounds trigger a fight-or-flight response) and the need to find control over sonic triggers, and to find beauty in something ugly.

Artist bio:

Ross Whyte is an award-winning Scottish composer who writes for film and theatre. He completed a PhD in Musical Composition at the University of Aberdeen. He later co-founded the duo WHYTE, an ambient electronic act known for modernising traditional Gaelic songs. The duo won the prestigious Scottish Gaelic Award for Arts and Culture in 2019. Ross currently performs with A New International.

mtld_meireles (instagram)

4) Linda Rae Dornan - Transcription: LoveLanguageLoss

This is an audio art piece about dementia and caregiving recorded over many years as I cared for my partner, John Asimakos. Transcription reverses text from my journal, uses cutup techniques and constant repetition collaged with John’s own voice as he tried to communicate. Constant repetition references the incomprehension and deterioration of language evident within the gradual decline of dementia patients.

The audio work attempts to share an interior space of intensity and tenderness within the isolated world of dementia.

Linda Rae Dornan’s art practice is performative and interdisciplinary, inclusive of video, installation, performance, sound and writing. Each feeds into the other exploring how we speak/communicate and connect to each other, and the land around us. She has screened her videos and created performance artwork in China, Europe, and the Americas, and has attended many artist residencies. She is the recipient of the Linda Joy Media Arts Award for NB, the Stratbutler Award, The Sheila Hugh McKay International Artist Residency Grant and has been recognized by multiple arts grants. Since 2017, she has co-organized PERFform Biennale.

1) Root Coiled - Merely Mended / Sterile Cap

A visit to the endodontist. A root canal is paid for. You open your mouth, they lock the jaw open.

ROOT COILED is a sound art project of Pittsburgh based artist and educator, Dylan John Sidoriak. The project utilizes field recordings, ambient noise, and audio collages, to reflect and immerse oneself into the state of; sometimes forgetting about the center. Dylan John Sidoriak is involved with other experimental sound projects; The Ill-Fitting Party, and Stare Rail.

2) Paul Collins - Radio Spots - Phone In, Phone

3) Water Feature - Various Birds - cream-faced loon

A collection of somewhat convincing birdsong and foley created entirely on a small battery-powered drum machine. Many imaginary and fanciful 'species' including the Pond Bather, Golden Nuthatch and Brown Yipper are featured. A long-form sound collage of many species is the central work, and 'close-ups' are also included. In one sense the project is a sincere tribute to bird identification records and tapes one would find in garden centres in the 90s, of which the artists have a large collection. In another sense it is an uncanny objection to a contemporary relationship with nature that romanticises and objectifies it from a safe distance. The sounds have been sampled in records by other artists, used in an extended arrangement for an installation in the Jardin Des Plantes in Paris, presented with narration by a supposed ornithologist, and are played constantly via an internet radio station.

4) Kate Paul - Grasses Interlude

'My sadness is so joining and deep. The sky looks down at this plate of us with a strange
expression, like it must have entered the wrong room.'

A poem on dependency and existential threat in tall grasses, with sound by Ezra Berrnico and Carle Gent.

Kate Paul is an artist and writer based in Glasgow. Her work with text, audio, facilitation, and performance has been exhibited/published with NoBounds Radio, Fieldnotes, Presse Books, NTS Radio, Hot Potato Magazine, Phytology, Ruskin School of Art, South London Gallery, Market Gallery, the ICA, and Conditions Studio Programme.

1 DinahBird - Surface Bruit (19:00)
2 Joel Supple - Undertow (4:50)

1) DinahBird - Surface Bruit

Surface Bruit explores the sonic and sculptural potential of handmade shellac records.

Using custom shellac recipes, silicone moulds, and recycled shellac discs, each 7" record is produced by hand and contains compositions built from field recordings documenting lacquer production in India. Air bubbles, skips, loops, and other imperfections created during the process become part of the performance itself, with the records played across turntables, Pyral discs, and gramophones.
This is a 19-minute live-to-air performance recorded for Π-Node radio in September 2024.

DinahBird is a sound and radio artist living and working in Paris. Her practice question the notion of diffusion, transmission and memory and is highly responsive to place. Her work includes broadcasts, soundworks, installations and audio publications that are often inspired by early communication technologies and archives. Current interests include old weather, shellac and high frequency trading. Her creations have been played on BBCRadio4, France Culture’s Atelier de Création Radiophonique, Resonance FM, Kunst Radio, through the Radia network, and have been presented at radio festivals in over twenty-five countries around the world.

She is presently employed by the Paris Museum of Modern Art to develop a programme of sound workshops with vulnerable people in correlation to the exhibitions.

6 Rebecca Wilcox - Old MacDonald has a room (3:22)

3) Jakov Munižaba - A cage, a vast cage rattling

This string of sounds, or rather sound symptoms, came into life through ideas of the ever-growing collision of dark triad rulers and young pure mass of resistance, specifically but not exclusively the student movement in Serbia, together with people with us. The sound emanated through vintage power of analog synthesis (EMS Synthi 100) in acousmatic reality in mind and with electrons thinking and fighting on the same lines with the resistance. The sound and field recordings from the movement itself are excluded but were internally guiding this piece - except the authentic recording of minute of silence of tens of thousands people at the very end.

The audio work is accompanied by a photo collage of two analog photographs taken by the author. The collage was executed by visual artist Jelena Šušnjar. The composition was constructed entirely from recordings of an EMS Synthy 100 and a single field recording captured during the major protests. The harmonic structure was crafted by layering one frequency at a time, utilizing a dedicated oscillator for each tone and identifying notes manually by ear without a keyboard. This manual process was highly deliberate, resembling a gradual, meticulous assembly on a massive analog synthesizer in a manner of knitting. Subsequently, the piece was edited and mixed digitally using only basic tools.
Sound designer of over 100 films, many of which have screened at Cannes, Venice, Berlin, and Sundance. Directs radio dramas, composes film music, teaches sound in Belgrade and Podgorica, and collaborates with Radio Belgrade's EMS electronic music studio where one of the EMS Synthi 100s lives.

4) Supplex - Lilliputian

Lilliputian - sound work grown from the quiet intelligence of fungi. All sonic material originates from mushrooms recorded through contact microphones placed directly on them as they grew, metabolised, and decayed. These micro-rhythms, clicks, hums, and electrical textures were shaped into a living composition that unfolds as an organism rather than a track.

Layered throughout is a spoken narrative recorded during the cultivation process, reflecting on how the mushrooms were grown, how their sounds were captured and transformed, and the wider histories and futures of fungi as ecological collaborators. The voice moves between practical process, cultural history, and speculative ecology.

Lilliputian explores scale, sensitivity, and attention, inviting listeners into the hidden networks beneath our feet and questioning which forms of life are deemed worthy of being heard. Created specifically for radio, the work leans into transmission as intimacy, amplification as care, and listening as an ecological act.

Bristol-based sound artist, radio maker, and sonic alchemist whose work dwells at the nexus of ecology, ritual, and transmission. Drawing from field recording, experimental composition, spoken narrative, and deep listening practices, their work interrogates non-human life, hidden worlds, and the porous boundaries between matter and meaning. Recent projects include immersive sound journeys born from mushrooms, ancestral sound research, and radio experiments that expand the medium’s capacity for intimacy and attention. With roots in underground DIY culture and community radio, Saint creates work that is curious, careful, and tenderly attuned to the subtle voices often left unheard in

6) Rebecca Wilcox - Old MacDonald has a room

One slice of an attempt to zoom in and out of recent rhythms of private and public life. Made in the slipstream of life with a baby, it's pile up of sound and sing-song language grown from new and unabating atmospheres.

Rebecca Wilcox lives in Glasgow and works with writing, audio and performance, often using voice as a tool. She's interested in apperception, infrastructures and the poetics produced between sensory engagements and the written and spoken word.

3) Ernests Vilsons & Ada Ruszkiewicz - swing of the day - Lucavsala II

This "catalogue of noisy swing recordings" is an expanding catalogue of recordings that capture noisy swings co-created with Ada Ruszkiewicz. The catalogue is made up of several dozen sound recordings featuring squeaky, creaking, screeching or otherwise noisy swing sets. The reasons for swing noise are various – loose connections or fasteners, aging of the materials used in the construction of the swing, weather conditions affecting them, as well as the load and overload to which the swing is subjected. Although most of the recordings feature swings that only minimally differ in terms of mechanics, construction and materials used, their noise is never identical, providing a sound testimony to the environment in which the swing is placed. Swinging, photos – Ada Ruszkiewicz; Idea, recording, editing and mixing – Ernests Vilsons.

5) Ji Youn Kang - Cross-wired Xylophone (2023)

The analog instruments employed in this performance have been crafted at the intersection of time-continuous (analog) and time-discrete (digital) signal computations. The performer tries to traverse the circuits, interlinked with a Xylophone and the performer’s body, in search of unusual, non-standard combinations that expand their innate characteristics by deliberately introducing ’errors.’ The exposed breadboards and the Xylophone also facilitate active, and musical alteration of the signal flow throughout the performance.
Félicia Atkinson - Wilhelmina, Glaciers Chasms

12 September 2026 12:00 pm - 12:45 pm

Following her commissioned pieces Ni Envers Ni Endroit Que cette Roche Brulante (INA GRM 2022) and Thinking Iceberg (CTM 2024), the French composer Félicia Atkinson comes back to her interest for nature and its preservation, as well as her interest in painting. Wilhelmina, Glaciers Chasms, is an electro-acoustic piece for voice, field recordings, fender rhodes and electronics, inspired by the paintings of Wilhelmina Barns-Graham, especially ‘Glacier Chasm’ from 1951.

Transparencies, blue and grey, super-positions, free forms, resonance and sustains will infuse in this new electro-acoustic piece dedicated to the XXth century female Scottish painter.

A Radiophrenia Live-to-Air commission first broadcast on 23rd November, 2025. Recorded live at the Glad Café, Glasgow.

Biography:

For Félicia Atkinson, human voices inhabit an ecology alongside and within many other things that don’t speak, in the conventional sense: landscapes, images, books, memories, ideas. The french electro-acoustic composer and visual artist makes music that animates these other possible voices in conversation with her own, collaging field recording, midi instrumentation, and snippets of essayistic language in both french and english.

Her own voice, always shifting to make space, might whisper from the corner or assume another character’s tone. Atkinson uses composing as a way to process imaginative and creative life, frequently engaging with the work of visual artists, filmmakers, and novelists. Her layered compositions tell stories that alternately stretch and fold time and place, stories in which she is the narrator but not the protagonist.

Atkinson lives on the wild coast of Normandy and has played music since the early 2000s.

Harry Josephine Giles and Callie Rose Petal (ⁿᵒᵗBorges) - Attis In Caledon

12 September 2026 12:45 pm - 1:00 pm

This experimental Scots translation of Catullus 63 tells the story of a young athlete driven mad by the Mother Goddess, driven to become an orgiastic priestess in the wild mountain woods, in a cacophonous reimagining of the Latin classic as a trans hymn to the Caledonian Forest. "Attis in Caledon" uses the full force of Scots to create a contemporary version of galliambic metre, the ancient poetic form of Cybele's centuries-long trans priesthood, and the poetry is complemented by original music and archival material woven together into a new work of noise alchemy. We ran through the ancient pines of Coille Choire Chuilc in the foothills of Beinn Os to bring you this magic.

Words and Performance by Harry Josephine Giles, Music and Sound Design by Callie Rose Petal (ⁿᵒᵗBorges)

A Radiophrenia commission produced with the support of Creative Scotland.

4 Domenico De Simone - CHANCE (7:10)

1) Randa Megahed - Afkar Motakatea

Afkar Motakatea is a sound work rooted in research around listening, resonance, and feedback. Formally, Afkar Motakatea exists between stability and instability. The piece unfolds through subtle variations in texture and intensity, moving through moments of balance, rupture, and saturation, before settling into a state of fragile and unstable equilibrium. Rather than seeking control or clarity, the work embraces fluctuation, resonance, and the loss of mastery, inviting the listener to engage in active, attentive, and embodied listening. This piece represents the chaos in my mind, unfinished thoughts, and the violence that surrounds us. Feedback, echo, and resonance are approached as closely intertwined phenomena, all based on transformation through repetition, reflection, and instability.

Randa Megahed (1997) is a sound and visual artist based between Paris and Cairo. Her practice spans installation, performance, video, image, and sound sculpture, exploring obsolescence, fragility, memory, and the poetic and political potential of residue. She works with degraded images, family archives, repurposed electronics, and unstable sound devices. Megahed holds a Master’s in Musical Creation and Sound Art from Université Gustave Eiffel and INA GRM, a Master in Fine Arts from ESÄ Tourcoing, a Bachelor in Media Design from the German University in Cairo, and a pedagogical diploma (CFPI). Her work has been shown in Berlin, Marseille & Cairo.

2) Victoria Morton - Vita Minerals

Vita Minerals is a sound collage of field recordings and improvised instrumentation. One central motif explores the acoustics of an industrial goods lift, proposing alternative structures for intuitive composition. Concertina doors become a musical instrument. Darkness and light, emptiness and potential claustrophobia are suggested by the sounds of mechanical motion and function. Natural sounds from the yard outside occasionally filter through. Vita Minerals was mixed by Luke Fowler and features on Grow Easy Love an LP by Onde de Bouche.

Based between Glasgow and Frossombrone, Italy, Victoria Morton is an artist and musician known for her expansive approach to painting which sometimes extends into sculpture, textiles and sound works. Her work as a visual artist sits alongside her musical practice both solo, under the moniker Onde de Bouche, and in many collective initiatives, such as the art performance group Elizabeth Go, all female band Muscles of Joy, Sound of Yell and the music project Sotto Voce with Luke Fowler.

4) Domenico De Simone - CHANCE

CHANCE begins in apparent innocence: fragments of recorded sound move with the freedom of improvisation, as if unaware of structure or consequence. This fragile play is gradually interrupted. Intrusive textures enter, destabilising the field, displacing what came before.
The piece does not resolve this conflict. Instead, it sustains a volatile exchange in which sounds construct and dismantle one another. Forms emerge only to collapse; tensions accumulate, then scatter. What seems playful becomes precarious. What seems destructive generates new openings.
Rather than illustrating a concept, CHANCE stages a process: a shifting sonic environment where balance is temporary and unpredictability is central. In the context of radio transmission, this instability becomes physical — attention is pulled, redirected, unsettled.
CHANCE invites listening as an encounter with flux, where structure and disruption coexist without hierarchy, and meaning arises from their continual collision.

Professor of Electroacoustic Composition at the Music Conservatory of Foggia. Graduated in Composition, Electronic Music, Piano and Jazz.
Graduated in Composition at the Accademia Nazionale of Santa Cecilia and in Electronic Music with honors at the Conservatory of Santa Cecilia. He was awarded with the diploma of merit in Film Music by Ennio Morricone and in Composition by Franco Donatoni.

1) Gabriela Serfaty and Gabriel Martinho, in collaboration with Veronica Daniela Cerrotta - Pé hablante

This project was born during Consonar, a sound art residency at Fazenda São João, in the countryside of Rio de Janeiro, within a mountainous body-territory of dense Atlantic Forest—already marked by the climate changes that continue to redraw the landscape.

During a collective walk toward a waterfall, we lost our way before ever reaching our destination. Later, we learned that the spring was experiencing a period of drought, its water now nearly absent.
Four hours later, the absence of water, the deviation from the path, and the body’s limit—each affected the other and cultivated another mode of attention.

The sound recording emerged as a vestige of that encounter: feet on the earth, dry leaves, labored breaths, shared headphones, and scattered beings began to compose a landscape in transformation. Walking, there, ceased to be mere displacement and became a gesture.

Gabriela Serfaty: Artist, psychoanalyst, and psychiatrist. She completed the artist formation program at Parque Lage in 2018. Since then, her work has appeared in exhibitions across Brazilian institutions. Her artistic practice departs from listening, unfolding into experiments in performance and sound art.

Gabriel Martinho: Sound artist, filmmaker, educator, and therapist. He has been involved in international radio art and film projects. His doctoral transdisciplinary research currently investigates listening as both a technology and an act of creation—weaving connections between sound art and mental health.

https://www.paulrooney.info/

3) Sooji - First Loves – Venus

First Loves #1 is recorded on the Sequential Prophet VS from 1986. It is a series of vignettes derived from improvisations from a single session, a brief dive into the capabilities of this instrument and was the precursor to First Loves: Sequential Prophet 10, released in 2022.
Sooji is a Naarm-based musician creating works that explore adventurous sonic territories through performance, composition and spatialised sound installations. Working primarily with synthesisers and electronics, she embraces the unexpected outcomes that arise from collaboration and improvisation.
Influenced by diverse sources such as classical music and Italian electronic composers, Sooji’s intuitive approach to composition creates works that sit outside of traditional genre classification and often manifest as surreal sonic landscapes.

4) Sop - Things I have done for money

An extremely short and simple list of jobs that I have done in my lifetime thus far. Any comment on precarious employment, the hustle, existing as an artist, turning my hand to anything / aka being a pure chancer would not be appropriate for me to make. ; )

Sop is a torn and crooked leaf, a root embedded in the dirt, a shoot reaching to the sky. An artist working in crip-time with sound, performance, writing, film and objects. They work primarily with nature, acting as a portal, to be able to interrogate their own experience of disability and existing in a chronically ill body, and more generally how the chronically ill body interacts with and relates to nature and the natural world. Their work tends to centre modes of sociality, starting with personal narrative, then expanding through dialogue with their crip community to include other bodies’ concerns.

Gardika Gigih - Arung: Soundscape Stories from Southeast Asia and Japan

12 September 2026 2:00 pm - 2:30 pm

Hello fellow listeners around the globe, you will listen to the soundscape stories from Southeast Asia and Japan. I am Gardika Gigih, a music composer and soundscape researcher from Indonesia. In 2019, I made a journey across Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Singapore, and Japan to record and study soundscapes as cultural narratives, as a way for us to see and learn each other through the diversities of daily sounds. You will listen to these soundscape stories, from the sounds of Muay Thai supporters in Bangkok, Thailand; the Hau Dong ritual at Ninh Binh, Vietnam; immigrant workers around Southeast Asia, gathering on Sunday morning in front of St. Paul Cathedral, Singapore; frogs and insects from Tam Coc, Gongs from Wat Pan On, Chiang Mai, Yamadera Temple water in Yamagata, Japan; Akihabara Pachinko noise; and many more. This research is supported by the Japan Foundation Asia Center Fellowship 2019.

Artist bio:

Radio Concrete #59 - Snezhana Reizen - Antenna. The madness of the day..

12 September 2026 2:30 pm - 3:00 pm

Radio Concrete #59 - Snezhana Reizen - Antenna

Introducing a special Radio Concrete episode by Snezhana Reizen.
Antenna. The madness of the day..

“Antenna” is a series of works on transduction with the sole sound source taking place - radio waves. Here I was devoured by discontinuity and discharge inherent to the "miracle of the wireless. the omnipresence.. the overleaping of frontiers” - the radio, like it was marked by R. Arnheim

This piece emerged in two phases: the first one can be called a transduction - a process of conveying potential energy from discharge into a signal. It was a spontaneous live radio-noise set recorded close to the closed shelter. This summer
I found myself stuck in between absence and presence in amplified senses,
confronting the avalanche of the noises erupting on us by this world, facing the chaos, “embracing alienation”, holding a degree of disbelief..
that this "disparity can be modulated”..

Radio Concrete is an ongoing experimental radio art project which combines field recordings and radio re-sampling together with electro-acoustic instruments and unplanned sounds.

SWAMP (the South West Arts & Music Project) - ‘SWAMP: An Interrupted Tour’

12 September 2026 3:00 pm - 3:15 pm

Created as part of Radiophrenia's 2026 Public Engagement Programme.

A wobbly-sounding piano falls into the pages of a book, which morphs into an empty drinks can, which turns into a kettle. Or is it a drum kit? Is that rain, a radio, sticky tape, or tin foil? What’s behind that door? What’s down that drain? How do you get a lion out of a cardboard box? And, where did the bee come from?!

Radiophrenia spent a week in August 2026 with a group of sound-obsessed, creative young people at SWAMP. Equipped only with microphones, headphones, a sense of curiosity and wonder, we set off around the building on Glasgow’s Brockburn Road. This is what we found…

Created and recorded by Hads, Lewis, Nathan and Ross - with thanks to Rosie, Andy, Keith and all at SWAMP.

Facilitation, production and sound design by Alan Bryden and Steve Urquhart.

SWAMP (the South West Arts & Music Project) is a Greater Pollok area based community development trust that uses the arts to bring people together, through a range of free activities including craft sessions, music groups and digital media classes for all ages. SWAMP offers a variety of services that promote community wellbeing.

Creative Recovery Inverclyde - ‘Welcome to Greenock, Paradise on Earth’

12 September 2026 3:15 pm - 3:30 pm

Created as part of Radiophrenia's 2026 Public Engagement Programme.

Creative Recovery Inverclyde is a participatory arts initiative based within Your Voice’s Lived Experience Network, in Greenock.

Our piece considers the arrival of tourist ships at Greenock’s cruise terminal. What happens when hundreds of visitors suddenly arrive in the town?

Mixing documentary and fiction, we follow tourists as they find their way around Greenock, meeting some of the people they might come across along the way, the fisherman, the Wyllieum shop girl, the buskers, the shady local and the good Samaritan.

Seen through the eyes of visitors, our piece asks what Greenock looks like when you’re seeing it for the first time… and, what happens when tourists and local life collide.

Credits: Billy, Callum, Clyde Fisherman, Dana, Dawn, German Tourist, Levi, Martita, Max, Paul, Pinja

Facilitated and shaped with the help of artist Elina Bry.

Paul Currion & Vanja Dabic - An Atlas of Haunted Houses

12 September 2026 3:30 pm - 4:00 pm

An Atlas of Haunted Houses is a spoken word performance about the advent of artificial intelligence. Paul's words take the idea of the ghost in the machine literally, bringing dead internet theory to life and asking what it means to live surrounded by ghosts. Vanja’s soundscape plays between several realities - some physically known to humanity, some only imagined, or being created outside our reach - and balances pessimism with the need for a space for dialogue, unattached to the span of a single lifetime. Behind those incorporeal presences are very real corporations with specific interests - how we can resist their machinations?

Artist bios:

Paul Currion has published fiction in The White Review, Ambit, and 3am Magazine, and his audiovisual installations have shown at the Vienna Biennale, Berlin Soundout!, and TransEuropa Belgrade. He works as a consultant to humanitarian organisations, and co-hosts the Belgrade AI Safety Group.

Vanja Dabic is a Belgrade-based pianist and sound artist. In her musical practice she explores the wide variety of musical forms, from dense repetitions to echoing soundscapes to free improvisations. She is active in collaborative projects across media, and a tutor-player in the Javanese gamelan ensemble Taman Merak.

1) ORKESTRAFRIA – Saltation

Saltation documents two sand dunes in motion, driven by the northeast wind that strikes the city of Atafona. The piece is part of the album EROSION/DISAPPEARANCE that explores the sonorities of an ongoing geological phenomenon, an environmental catastrophe. Atafona is a district of the municipality of São João da Barra, located on the north coast of the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, which is being destroyed by coastal erosion. Since the phenomenon accelerated around 60 years ago, the waves have destroyed more than 500 buildings and fourteen blocks of the town have been completely submerged. Climate change, regional events, the influence of the wind, the characteristics of the waves, the astronomical effects of the tides and the transport of sediment by coastal currents. Scientists believe that the convergence of all these factors in a single location on the Brazilian coast helps to explain what happens in Atafona.

ORKESTRAFRIA inhabits the liminal space between sound art, contemporary notation and experimental electronics. A hostile territory whose boundaries are drawn outside of time and space, yet deeply embedded in both. Limits governed by uncertainty, contamination and contradiction. It all begins with samples of exotic aesthetics, obtained through field recordings, which are later sculpted, remodelled and infused with electronic tones, with conceptual rigour and structural vandalism. Spaces as instruments, where temporality and impermanence embrace dissonance and fragility, reflections of the tragedy of a time when, perhaps, deep listening may be the salvation for blindness. ORKESTRAFRIA is Eduardo Bichinho (Porto Alegre, 1976).

2) Jesse Peter Ash - Emergent Signal

An exploration of the invisible and the organically unheard, mediated with century old analog technology. Dive into an ocean of static and noise to discover the strange electromagnetic phenomena and signal fragments of unknown origins that reside there, swirling around us constantly as we go about our lives. An acousmatic composition comprised of shortwave radio recordings collected in a single evening at dusk, and synthesizers, Emergent Signal investigates the mysteries of both coded signals, the strange noise that surrounds them, and the possibility of deriving meaning from either.

Jesse Peter Ash is a Canadian sound designer, musician, and artist based in Dublin. With more than 20 years of creating collaboratively and individually his work spans theatre, dance, music and installation and has been presented across Canada and internationally. Currently pursuing a Master’s in Music and Media Technology from Trinity College Dublin, Ash’s recent work is focused on sonic investigations of the unheard, and sound out of time.

3) Ricardo de Armas - Liquid Dream

I imagine liquid dreaming as a suspended state of consciousness, a translucent matter where forms slowly dissolve.
Everything flows: soundscapes blend with drones that pulse in depth; voices, sometimes human, sometimes barely echoes, intertwine with referential sounds. Everything converges into a single stream, without hierarchies or contours.
There are no shores and no precise direction. Only a sonic drift, a current that invites one to be carried away by its slowness.
The body enters the diffuse threshold where wakefulness opens into dreaming and dreaming opens into listening.

Ricardo de Armas was born in Buenos Aires in 1957. He lives in Bahía Blanca, in southern Argentina. He studied at the J. J. Castro Provincial Conservatory in La Lucila, Buenos Aires Province. He is an acousmatic composer, cellist, and cultural manager. He was a member of the Provincial Symphony Orchestra of Bahía Blanca from 1988 to 2020. He is the founder and coordinator of the Bahía[in]sonora Cycle and of the real-time creation group ARS[in]sonora. He is the coordinator of the UNTREF Aural record label. He has received national and international awards.

4) Gennaro Foglia - Last Resource

Last resource is a composition between two opposites one is the natural part of
our soul symbolized by melodic instruments and musical loops, which are broken
by a mechanical part with industrial sounds and metal noises that represent the
destruction of the soul.the composition is composed of a part A with worldless
sounds, to create an unknown, new and uncomfortable sound imagery, all to be
explored, then moving on to a part B with both natural and instrumental sounds,
more comfortable and relaxing both for our state of mind and for our listening,
then a return to A and finally B againAll this contrasted with the video which is a
still image that represents the staticity and at the same time the movements that
the music gives to the image itself.

Gennaro Foglia is a 28 year old composer and musician from San Paolo Bel Sito in the province of Naples. He studies at the San Pietro a Majella Conservatory, majoring in electronic music composition, currently in the first year of a master's degree. He has won several competitions, including the SomaRumor-IV Encontro Latino-Americano De Arte Sonora, the Sonic Nomads of Seoul, and Marginali. He plays bass and electric guitar.

5) Hali Palombo - All of You on This Good Earth

"All of You on This Good Earth" is a piece that is comprised mostly from audio files collected from the Apollo 8, Apollo 11 and Apollo 12 space missions sourced from the NASA Historical Sounds archive. It also features self-recorded audio from the BATC & AMSAT-UK QO-100 (Es'Hail-2) Geostationary Satellite WebSDR, guitar, binaural tones and field recordings taken at FermiLab National Laboratory in Batavia, Illinois. The composition is intended to mirror the general unease caused by Planet Earth's current iteration, seasoned with a useless salve of platitudes.

Hali Palombo is a Chicago-based composer who works primarily with found sound and old media formats. Her practice leans on wax cylinders, shortwave radio, CB chatter and Midwestern field recordings - that which most people throw away or ignore, she treats as essential and profound. She recently completed a 2025 residency at Wave Farm in the Upper Hudson Valley of New York where she created Echolalia FM, a one-hour piece centered on repetition, communication, and the strange comfort of echoing sounds inspired by echolalia, a common coping tool in individuals with autism.

6) dagger wound - death forces me to live

What has been living inside of me, the aftermath of experiencing the most unbearable and wretched pain. Of all my insides being twisted and desecrated and dying in the abyss and somehow coming back, somehow surviving. Reckoning with this loss has felt like drowning, capsized alone in the vast void. I wanted to devote myself to making something beautiful and raw for lawu, that can start to resonate with the ache inside of me since their death. With all the love inside of me and the love they gave me, I mourn and transmute. In life and death, intertwined beyond this sinister world, lawu eternally and forever. As death does us part.

Dagger wound (LA) He/ it Harsh noise electronics with extreme performance art including needle play, body stitching, and live blood letting. dagger wound is a noise masochist bringing abrasive sounds with a strong political message and a cathartic and transgressive performance style that slices through reality. he is motivated by his desire for a better world and his lifestyle as an underground traveling trans freak. he has toured nationally and internationally as 1/2 of mirrored fatality and as dagger wound and has collaborated with multidisciplinary queer and trans artists across the world.

7) Andreja Andric - Trashscape (II)

Trashscape (II) (2024) is a brief electroacoustic soundscape based on sounds of trash: dumping trash in bins, sounds of trash compactors, crumpling of trash bags, trash trucks and the like. The piece evolves in many fast-moving layers, resembling a cyclone, where sounds rotate and transform in ever different combinations.

Andreja Andric (born 1973) is a Serbian composer and programmer, living in Aarhus in Denmark. He explores the intersections of mathematical processes, intuition and chance and uses computer programming as key means of artistic expression. With a primary interest in composition and performance for his networked laptop/smartphone ensemble, he is also active as composer of vocal and instrumental music and creator of video and multimedia art. His work has been performed on festivals such as ISCM World Music Days 2024 in Torshavn, Faroe Islands and 2019 in Tallinn, Estonia, ICMC 2022 in Limerick, Ireland and more.

8) Vincenzo Arena - Subterranean Ears

Imagining a microphone placed inside a mole’s tunnel, the piece gathers and transforms barely perceptible underground sounds. A listening practice directed toward what usually remains beneath the surface.

El Wud is an experimental ambient project built on sound overlaps, causal collisions and cosmic echoes.

https://soundcloud.com/el-wud-1

9) Chin Ting Chan - Refractions

Refractions evokes a space where natural and artificial soundscapes converge and transform. Built from archival field recordings made in Kansas City parks (2013–14), it captures both the ambient vitality of nature and the subtle hum of human presence. Interwoven with piano resonances and the timbres of metal, glass, and water, the piece refracts the familiar like light through a prism—bending, dispersing, and reassembling it into a shifting spectrum of sound.

The piece is a study in transformation and distortion—its refracted gestures trace the irregular pulse of recollection, where memory shifts between moments of clarity and dissolution. In this ambiguous space, the boundaries between nature and artifact blur and bend, and echoes of the past shimmer briefly before dispersing into silence.

Composer Patrick Chin Ting CHAN grew up in Hong Kong and came to the United States in 2003. He has been featured in events including Ars Electronica, IRCAM's ManiFeste, ISCM World Music Days, UNESCO International Rostrum of Composers, and Venice Art Biennale, among others. He has worked with ensembles such as City Chamber Orchestra of Hong Kong, Ensemble intercontemporain (France), Ensemble Metamorphosis (Serbia), eighth blackbird (U.S.), Hong Kong New Music Ensemble, Mivos Quartet (U.S.), and New York New Music Ensemble, with performances in more than thirty countries. His scores are published through BabelScores and Universal Edition.

10) Michelle gannon – Dissonance

This work responds to taking a train journey across Ireland to access art education, transitioning from early morning West Coast rural landscapes, to immersion in the urban environment of Dublin City on the East Coast, and then back again in the evening, a 6-hour round trip. Sleep deprivation, and the shift between contrasting locations contribute to what can feel like a disjointed reality. Sound recordings capturing ambient sounds of Heuston Station, including the Public Piano, and the surrounds constitute the core of the piece. I am interested in how voices inhabit a space to induce emotional states, without the need for specific words to be decipherable. I also like to bring attention to non-human voices which are marginalised as we forge ahead in our industrialised world, and so the last ‘word’ is given to a resident Raven pair that build a nest each year near my home in County Mayo.

Michelle Gannon is an emerging multidisciplinary artist born and based in The West Coast of Ireland. Recent projects include sculpting solid and sonic material to create work that converts the everyday mundane into art objects, looking for the poetic in diverse media such as soap, toilet paper, and public transport. Current work focuses on Gaelic folklore surrounding ‘An Cailleach’, and how this mythological figure is portrayed in the contemporary world.

Holsten?

3) anastasia freygang - 1day copy radyo

These post-literate incantations reverberate out of time and on a rainy day, imitating the language of exile. They find themselves traversing regions in a 1day copy with resounding fountains in Bulgaria and with London's Turkish Radyo Umut's hickups recaptured in the shell of a boat. Homage and water-borne they are echo-ing : 'for my bottom to be pushing into my shoulders/ so i lower my forehead, and see nothing' from a battery-powered amp.

Artist bio: Anastasia Freygang is suny tobt fum in concert. Fond of creating sonic collisions that initiate movement her creative practice covers language and presence in the widest sense.

By using basic computer functions, fieldrecordings and low-fi feedback principles there is a spatial quality adding to collapsed timelines and song. Currently her experiments with voices, polyrhythms and textures delineate narrative structures live via events she curates, and in support of moving image, performance and radio transmissions.

Katalin Ladik - Spacetime Roe

12 September 2026 6:00 pm - 6:15 pm

"In 1953, at the age of eleven, I began my acting career at Radio Novi Sad, at a time when all programs—including radio plays and radio dramas—were broadcast live. The experience I gained as a radio actress later became an important source for my sound poetry works."

This work incorporates excerpts from the Hungarian-language audio archives of Radio Novi Sad (Yugoslavia, Serbia), originally broadcast on 212.4 MHz between 1957 and 2002.

Audio Engineering: Szabolcs Puha

'Spacetime Roe' is a co-commission between Radiophrenia and Kunstradio produced with the support of Creative Scotland.

Biography:
Katalin Ladik was born 1942 in Novi Sad, Yugoslavia (now Serbia) and is currently based in Budapest, Hungary where she has lived and worked since the 1990s.
Her artistic output is at once sprawling, prolific and singular. Beginning as a poet and expanding into performances in the 1970s she developed her own theatrical language which eventually came to incorporate sound and visual poetry, performance art, experimental music, audio plays, happenings, mail art, collage, and photography.
Throughout Ladik's work and particularly in her performances, the voice and the body (most often her own) converge to become a site in which the personal and political spheres overlap. Making use of diverse sources from mythic narratives to personal and everyday objects, she has consistently sought to investigate her role as a woman in her own Eastern European context, challenging dominant societal, sexual and gender norms.

She began her career with interventions on Radio Novi Sad (1963–77) and as an actress with the avant-garde theatre group Bosch+Bosch in the city of Subotica (1977–92). However, it was the publication of the record Phonopetica (1976) which drew the attention of sound poets abroad including Bob Cobbing, Gerhard Rühm and Henry Chopin who invited her to perform the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam in 1977, and led to her international recognition and prominence within the fields of sound poetry and visual art in which she remains active today.

She participated in documenta 14 in Athens and in 2019 the Italian label Alga Margen released ‘Phonopoetics’, a diverse survey of Ladik's audio work between 1968-1993.

"Poet, actress, and visual artist Katalin Ladik has to be considered as one of the most pioneering artists alive...Her work is bound to feminist matters in Eastern Europe and reflects the personal, social and existential difficulties that female artists must face. Recurrent dual structures and the use of sexually ambiguous figures (androgynes and angels) as well as gender-neutralising elements inhabit her work, which occasionally acquires Shamanic overtones and integrates therapeutic mechanisms of liberation."

— This cracked wall is pregnant with sleeping sickness. Who is this wasp above me? Who is this woman whitewashing inside me? If all that surrounds me is wall, if I am a wasp and inside me this insect is human, then where do I end, where does the human begin?
— I look in the stone, not there. I look in the wood, not there. I look in the stone, not there. I look in the wood, not there.
— Radio Novi Sad.
— Few lived on that mountain. They smoked with sulphur all night long, waiting for the dawn of the Age of Aquarius. Some grave epidemic was raging in the jealously guarded Garden. With bloody wings, with burn wounds, they passed over the snowfields.
Hildegard Westerkamp - The Soundscape Speaks - Soundwalking Revisited (2021)

12 September 2026 6:15 pm - 7:00 pm

It has often been said during this past year of the pandemic that Covid is ‘only the beginning’ and that the much larger crisis ahead of us is climate change. An obvious question to ask then is: What is our relationship to the environment? And is the natural environment interesting enough to us – indeed, do we know enough about it - that we would want to protect and save it from further ravages?

The sound environment has much to tell us - it simply ‘voices’ all activities - and if we dare to really listen, we may sense the depth of the environmental trouble the world is facing.

During the past year I decided to re-examine the many sound recordings I have made since approximately 1977/78, when I got my chops in field recording while producing and broadcasting my radio program Soundwalking on Vancouver Co-operative Radio. Without knowing it then, it formed the base of my recording approach for many years to come. The idea of including my voice while recording the environment was there from the start and was based in the desire to acknowledge my recording presence to the radio listener. In other words, in speaking together – acoustic environment and voice – a relationship between soundscape and human vocal expression was revealed.

Upon the kind invitation from the BEAST FEaST 2021 to create a new sound piece, I decided to use the opportunity to reflect back on my more than 40 years of sound recording and composing with environmental sound. I have brought together many of my recordings and compositional approaches in a fluid stream of listening while also softly speaking my mind about issues of soundscape ecology. The festival’s theme is “Recalibration”. The Soundscape Speaks is an invitation to open yourselves to the complexities of listening itself and the possibilities it may offer to recalibrating your own relationship to the environment.

Composition and Spoken Voice by Hildegard Westerkamp
Premiere: April 24, 2021, the BEAST FEaST 2021, at the University of Birmingham, UK

Live-to-Air Performances - Ji Youn Kang / Duvel Mortgage / Firas Khnaisser / Nat Raha

12 September 2026 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm

Four newly commissioned live-to-air performances broadcast live from our studio in the Gorbals. Ticekts available here: https://radiophrenia.scot/live-to-air/

Ji Youn Kang - machi-nory

This performance unfolds as a live construction of an unstable sonic machine, built from circuits, metal plates, and electromagnetic feedback where sound emerges from shifting relationships between materials, performer, signal and space. Through acts of tinkering, the system reveals the hidden vitality of matter and its dynamic behaviours.

Ji Youn Kang is a Korean composer, performer, and sound artist based in The Hague. Much of her work is informed by the rites of Korean Shamanism, and many of her pieces are written for Wave Field Synthesis systems, exploring the relationship between musical and physical space. She is also active as a solo performer, exploring ways to combine three sound domains on stage: acoustic instruments, analogue and digital sound, using DIY analogue synthesizers and live processing on a laptop. She currently teaches at the Institute of Sonology at the Royal Conservatoire.

Firas Khnaisser - Endless Darkness

Endless Darkness is a thirty-minute live performance and broadcast about persistence: the way bodies, sounds and identities endure through fragmentation and metabolise to form something new while constantly faced with the possibility of erasure.

Firas Khnaisser is a Syrian/Lebanese performance artist and musician based in Edinburgh. His work is informed by themes of colonialism, pop culture, myth and ritual. His practice centres on performance and free improvisation using electro-acoustic instruments, found objects and found sounds. He hosts TFEH, an experimental concert series at the Fruitmarket in Edinburgh, alongside Ali Robertson and Collette Martin. Firas is a member of the bands Off Brand and Vole Invasion, and also sits on the board of the inclusive music charity Sonic Bothy. Current collaborators include Ali Robertson, Armin Sturm, Fritz Welch, Euan Currie, Nikki Moran and Paul Thomson. Has releases on Scatter Archive, Chocolate Monk, Artsy records, Giant Tank, Takuroku among others.

Duvel Mortgage - The Chalcotribe

Ambrose Cadman. Rectilinear chair of The Berrenthorpe Brass Rubbing Society. Devoted husband to Dorothea, much talked about but never seen. Revered benefactor of the most ancient of Huntingdonshire churches, St Asaph’s. A man of impeccable plumage. So why the local murmurings? The wheedling torsional frequencies seeming to emanate from the very flower beds of Cadman’s baronial pile. The grisly demise of Victor Rogers, stalwart pilot of the local omnibus. The inexplicable disappearance of schoolboy detective, Raymond Sleet. The equally inexplicable appearance of Otto Naismith, whose very name might be a clue to the peculiar goings-on.

Duvel Mortgage is the trio of Sophie Sleigh-Johnson and The Bohman Brothers. The group performs a carefully blended mix of offbeat poetics, low-lying music, and sound obstruction using unconventional instruments and household materials. As of late 2025, they have been pursuing a zig-zag course through the United Kingdom.

Nat Raha - Solidarity & House

A sound performance work, surfacing the fabric of collective action and resistant living. Written out of queer and transfeminist worlds, the work addresses the possibilities and challenges of domesticities, desires and of maintaining communities in the face of gentrification, material precarities and care. Through experimental poetics, manipulated word and the electronics, the work inhabits a spatialised soundscape, carrying the plural, polyvocal ‘we’ that inhabits these worlds.

Dr Nat Raha is a poet and activist-scholar. Her work is of an experimental queer lyric, attending to the everyday of marginalised life, hirstories of struggle and resistance to racial capitalism. She works through de/re/materialising sound, form and syntax, on the page and in performance.
Her books of poetry include apparitions (nines) (Nightboat Books, 2024) and, of sirens, body & faultlines (Boiler House Press, 2018). With Mijke van der Drift, Nat is co-author of Trans Femme Futures: Abolitionist Ethics for Transfeminist Worlds (Pluto Press, 2024, finalist for the Lambda Literary Awards 2025).
Nat’s work has been translated in numerous languages. Her critical and creative writing has appeared in Transgender Marxism (Pluto Press, 2021), Social Text, The Funambulist, The Brooklyn Rail, Poem-a-Day, and We Want It All: An Anthology of Radical Trans Poetics. Her performance work includes epistolary (on carceral islands), co-commissioned by Edinburgh Art Festival, Scotland and TULCA Festival of Visual Arts, Galway, Ireland, 2023. She teaches in Fine Art Critical Studies at the Glasgow School of Art.

2 Zak Colello - I Am Sitting in a B325StereoDownmix

1) S. Glass - About That Tidal Wave Research Dream

"About That Tidal Wave Research Dream" incorporates sound collage, electronic processing, voice, location recordings, amplified objects, mass media appropriations, and chance operations. The overall approach consistently hews to a four-track cassette aesthetic and composed tape music, where raw immediacy and surreal juxtaposition intersect.

Public sound — available, inescapable — is a prime influence. Early on, childhood cartoons, call-in radio, and the pre-recorded self-destructing assignments on a well known TV spy show made their mark. Sound collaging flourished at a student radio station with access to multitrack tape. In addition to self-made urban field recordings and found audio sources, Glass adapts practices pioneered by past avant garde mavericks: Cage’s chance operations, private Fluxus-like procedures, machine sounds à la early Industrial culture, and quasi-outsider sounds absent formal training and/or intention.

S. Glass founded Bren’t Lewiis Ensemble and Glands of External Secretion, and from 1986 to 2004, self-published Bananafish magazine. Since 2017, he’s toured the U.S., England, Scotland, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and Canada. Collaborations include Dylan Nyoukis, Bruce Russell, Anla Courtis, Bryan Day, Andrew Zukerman, Cody Brant, Orchid Spangiafora, and others.

He’s released material on Butte County Free Music Society, l’Esprit de l’Escalier, Chocolate Monk, Siltbreeze, Minimum Table Stacks, Krim Kram, Steep Gloss, I Dischi Del Barone, Feeding Tube, Ultra Eczema, Nashazphone, and Starlight Furniture Co., among others.

He will appear at the Reception Festival in Ireland, October 2026

2) Zak Colello - I Am Sitting in a [B325StereoDownmix]

I Am Sitting in a [B325StereoDownmix] is the stereo version of an immersive experience presented in January 2026. The piece is directly inspired by Alvin Lucier's I Am Sitting in a Room. The text is a pretext for exploiting the timbral characteristics of the room in which the experience was presented, and the narrative thread of the work. Acoustic resonances are exploited as sound material and mixed with synthesized sounds tuned to these same resonances. The text offers a reinterpretation of Lucier's work, positioning the resonances of the room as a crisis and the sound of the voice as efforts of resistance in the face of the crisis.
Zak's work lies between sound art, radio art, and acousmatic music. This piece is a variation on a series of works entitled I Am Sitting in a [ ], which is intended to be presented in several contexts, devices, and formats.

Zak Colello (he/him) is a sound artist based in Montreal. He completed his bachelor's degree in digital music at the University of Montreal, then worked as lead audio in the Satosphere at the Société des Arts Technologiques.
He is currently pursuing a master's degree in composition and sound creation and works as a research assistant for the Groupe de Recherche en Immersion Spatiale (GRIS).
He composes works combining sound art, acousmatic music, and radio pieces, with a strong focus on ecology and unique narratives. Occasionally, he designs interactive installations, such as Chœur Factice (2024).

2 Birdman 750 - Keep Listening To Your Radio (5:30)

3 Ivor Kallin - Barra Soap Opera R09_0160 (3:43)

1) Sapphire Goss - Spectres, Skin and Bone

Since its inception cinema has been likened to a "kingdom of shadows"; time frozen, a netherworld between life, death and memory. ‘Spectres, Skin and Bone’ is an experimental documentary that uses the deathly materiality of photochemical objects to explore themes around mortality, memorial, extinction, extraction and decay. It encompasses post-mortem and spirit photography, Thai cemetery cinema, the gelatine of film emulsion as a charnel house of countless carcasses and the Arctic World Archive where digital data is backed up to 35mm film: a haunted tomb of contemporary knowledge. The soundtrack is sonified from film reels; a "Celluloid Synthesiser" using the end of the reels, the edge of the frames, scratches and dust. This is mixed with field recordings and optical archive, all dredged from the cracked terrain of the film surface, oscillating between the material realm and the ether.

I am a British artist working with moving image, photography, installation and sound. My work embodies an ‘analogue uncanny’ where light, time and materials come together in unexpected ways. These are unstable media for unstable landscapes and unstable realities. I treat film and tape not only as a recording device, but as both a material terrain and a skein between worlds: surface and image, memory and ghost, life and its traces. My work has been widely exhibited, including at the ArtScience Museum Singapore, the Barbican, Tate Exchange, By Art Matters Hangzhou, Fermynwoods Contemporary Art, and Millennium Film Workshop New York.

2) Birdman 750 - Keep Listening To Your Radio

This piece started with the eerie sound of Sputnik 1, launched by the Soviet Union in 1957, an event which also launched the space race. It also gave birth to the fear of a nuclear missile attack.
Planning for the eventuality of an attack culminated in the British government's Protect and Survive programme. Originally, this was classified information, only to be distributed in the event of an impending attack. But media pressure and leaks of text and audio material forced the government of the day to publish the pamphlet format, in 1980.
Sampled from the material developed for television, we can hear that central to the plan was the concept of an authoritative male voice broadcasting simple instructions.
So listen to your radio, stay where you are and keep listening to your radio.

Birdman 750 (seven-fifty) aka Hugh Manistre is a field recordist, and works combining this with his background in music, making pieces reflecting place, history and ecology.

3) Ivor Kallin - Barra Soap Opera R09_0160

The work consists of 18 pieces, ranging from ~2 to ~12mins, mainly recorded on beaches on the Isle of Barra, featuring improvised vocal sounds with the sea or path as soundscape. There are also a couple of tracks recorded in Edinburgh on a dampened piano.

I play improvised music using a viola with the London Improvisers Orchestra (and previously with Barrel), bass with the Glowering Figs (and previously with Ya Basta) and electric violina with Electrio. I've been presenting a radio show on Resonance FM on and off for 20 years or so, under the guise of Ambrosia Rasputin.
I have recently had a couple of releases on ScatterArchive, featuring improvised viola and voice and also some Barra beach and Edinburgh 'songs', not included in this submission for Radiophrenia
