The London Ear

Moonlighting ghostwriter Ben Thompson shakes up a snowdome of real and imaginary sessions with guests from the far-flung frontiers of musical and literary endeavour. Today: in the second of two special Resonance Fundraiser shows, musician turned academic Simon Crab (of Bourbonese Qualk fame) explores "the irrational roots of electronic music", arguing that those beginnings lie not in 1950s materialist modernism, as Stockhausen and others insisted, but rather as an expression of C19th mystical romanticism - "I don't want to blame Stockhausen for everything but he's an easy target". For further information visit @btfoshizzle on X and find playlists at Ben Thompson's Facebook page. [Repeats Wednesday 3pm.]

Open City Audio

Weekly programmes by Open City. Making architecture and cities more open, accessible, and equitable. Today: InterCities. In this episode, host Owen Hatherley is joined by the Ukranian architect and urban historian Ievgeniia Gubkina. Gubkina was born in the northeastern Ukranian city of Kharkiv and lived there until the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, after which she fled with her teenage daughter and now lives in London in exile. She talks to us about her publication, “Kharkiv Architectural Guide” and we use it as a lens through which to explore the city’s changing architectural iterations. From a university hub to the capital of Soviet Ukraine, the avant-garde scene in the 1920s to the Stalinist-era "reconstruction" of Kharkiv's modernist buildings, we get a deep insight into the city’s past and a sober reminder of its present. First broadcast 29 May 2025. [Repeats Tuesday 2.30am.]

Clear Spot

Klasse Ed Atkins Raum 109. Room 109 at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf has eight-metre ceilings, bare surfaces and a long, unruly reverberation. Conversations blur, words dissolve. Instead of correcting these "terrible" acoustics, we decided to work with them. A site-specific sound system is installed inside cupboard doors, turning furniture and architecture into resonant bodies. Each contributor composed a piece specifically for this setup — responding to the room's frequencies, its echoes, its tendency to muddy and magnify. In the spirit of experimental sound practices that treat space as an instrument, this work lets the architecture shape what you hear. So as you listen, listen to the room. [Repeats Friday 10am.]
