Fog Cast

[Repeated from Wednesday 11.30pm.] A series of late-night isolationist soundtracks curated by Robin The Fog. Tonight: we present highlights from Auris Festival in Manchester, featuring four spatialised multichannel works. We begin with T1/2 (Half Life) by Vicky Clarke and Kamila Narysheva – a multichannel sound installation that explores the acoustic memory of the Semipalatinsk Nuclear Test Site in Kazakhstan through field recordings of soil, water, air and architectural remnants made in December 2024. Next is Seven Sisters, a participatory multichannel installation by festival co-curator Wajid Yaseen - incorporating vintage test tone wide range oscillators to be adjusted and manipulated by the audience to create square and sine wave crossings. The installation is an act of listening effectively activated by the listener as they move around it and we hear participants engaging with the oscillators over the fifteen or so minutes of this live recording made inside the installation. Then, from the festival's Spatial Audio listening room (delivered on Bernard Steer’s Microcosm System), we hear Arconic's The Quiet Work Of Trees, and Lull by Mick Harris. While a stereo broadcast could never fully capture the full impact of these multi-channel spatialised work, there is still much sonic richness on offer here, so as always, come drift into the night with us. An alternative version of this programme was first broadcast on Resonance Extra on 10 October 2026. Further details at: robinthefog.com.

Late Lunch with Out to Lunch

[Repeated from Wednesday 2pm.] Polemic, politics, mouth jazz and spontaneous music with Ben Watson.

Clear Spot

[Repeated from Tuesday 9pm.] Theory of Voice by agf. How soft is the power of voice? Does the voice have the strength to transform power relations? Can we say voice is a technology in itself?

This show leads with a collaboration by agf and Hidden Songs – a group of young women in Taliban controlled Afghanistan who record their raps under highly controlled circumstances. It relates to agf's work on theory of voice and research commissioned by TIMES (The Independent Movement for Electronic Scenes) project, "Pitch, Pigeon, Puerta" in which Antye Greie-Ripatti conducts interviews with travelling musicians asking about source, territory and power of voice. The interviews can be heard at rec-on.org/voice.html.

Calling All Pensioners

[Repeated from Monday 1pm.] Magazine programme with Tim Hamilton, addressing issues which affect pensioners across London. This week: Age UK’s campaigner, Jade, reacts to proposed changes to the State Pension Triple Lock from 2030, reassuring you that nothing is changing straight away and the State Pension will continue to go up every year. Independent Age responds to Andy Burnham’s speech about replacing the Triple Lock Guarantee on the Basic State Pension stating any changes must ensure no current or future pensioners on a low income lose out. Sharon Graham, General Secretary of Unite the Union, strongly condemns the announcement to alter the State Pension triple lock, calling the move "morally wrong". Our further musical tribute is to the "Singing Milkman" Craig Douglas, a British pop singer of the late 1950s and early 1960s. Produced by Deptford Action Group for the Elderly.
