Craig Hunter: Bits
"I met someone in London this year who seemed embarrassed that he was doing 'bits and pieces', rather than an established career. I love doing bits. Here are some of them. The backbone of the piece is an unedited recording from Ta Van village in northern Vietnam. I was struck by how well the dog was keeping time. This is overlaid with various other aural memories from the past two years, including squelching through a swamp in Finland, the rumbling of trains through Germany, cafe chat in Hanoi, Warsaw and Valencia, and a chorus of cicadas as I walked through the latter. Regular life also features via a barbecue, the Langside Road bird choir, wrapping a customer's belongings for a house move and working on a short film with friends.” Produced by Craig Hunter.

Sonic Rituals By The Dyski Rosemerryn Sound Collective
In 2024, Drs. Sally Rodgers and Steve Jones undertook a Dyski artist residency in West Cornwall. Situated in woodland near Lamorna Cove, amid neolithic caves and standing stones, their project "Sonic Rituals" took participants on a sonorous journey deep into the landscape and its histories. For Sonic Rituals, Rodgers and Jones employed various techniques - including sound art lectures, workshops, deep listening exercises, and performative rites - designed to invoke our primordial connection with sound and landscape. This experimental radio mix, created by Sally, features audio, sound, and music developed during the residency by both the artists and participants. It includes excerpts from workshop materials such as Hildegard Westerkamp's "Kitt's Beach" and works by John Cage and Murray R. Schafer. Other contributions come from participants Peter Rice, Adam McCreedy, Luanna McCallum, Charlotte Bourne, Liv Bartlett, Laura Irvin, Dan Cippico, Tom Gecim, Toby Edwards, Maria Shevchenko and Dyski founder Dion Star.

Dinah & Molly Mullen: Echo Sister Audio Essays, Thank You For Listening
When New Zealand’s border closures prevented sisters, Dinah and Molly Mullen from meeting in person, they began an online exchange, resulting in a cyber-feminist reworking of the myth of Echo. In the male-authored myths, Echo is depicted as being punished, deprived of her communicative agency; absorbed into the earth she must forever return the sound made by others. These sonic fictions explore the possibilities and politics of online communication, exploring the generative potential of echoes as intimate entanglements of sound and stone that are essential to processes of sensing, locating and relating. Picking up where the Greek and Roman myth-versions leave Echo, the two audio tales suggest she has long inhabited the rock beneath the earth’s surface, causing earthquakes, volcanoes and provoking continental shift in her grief, trauma and rage.

A reading with musical underscoring and sound effects of the Soviet writer Sigizmund Krizhizhanovsky's surreal 1926 short story "Quadraturin".

Phew: Jamming 2025
As a child I travelled the world on BCL radio and was fascinated by the music and languages of distant countries with fading phenomena. Once, while checking the shortwave band, a 'pheeew' noise passed by. The frequency range was very wide and the overall frequency was heard to rise in a continuous sequence of changes. What was that sound?Jamming 2025 is an attempt to recreate that experience from memory.“ Produced by Phew. Visit phewjapan.bandcamp.com.
12:45pm - 1:00pm
Magda Lampropoulou: When In Kitchen
"This composition was made with some sculptures of my recent sound installation "twist" which was presented in June 2024 at the Subset Festival and the Athens Epidaurus Festival. Sound sculptural constructions of objects and shapes with a feminine accent (bowls, plates and cutlery, faux pearls, seeds) are twisting and turning in a synchronized dance balancing between the fragile nature of materials such as glass and the tenuous dynamics of their sounds. The outer shell of metal, paper, glass and ceramic surfaces and their inner elements create diverse qualities of sounds. Utilizing the kitchen tools and equipment as my musical instruments, I aim to give them the voice to say loudly our feminine song." Produced by Magda Lampropoulou.

Charo Calvo: Qualia
Five women artists living in Brussels; all raised in several languages; each one from a different cultural background.

Charo Calvo: Phonobiographie #1
It was a winter day in Madrid. I took the express train “Puerta del Sol” to Brussels. At that time, Hendeva was the last station for our trains. The Spanish tracks and the French tracks were not the same width. A little defensive measure taken by Franco’s government. We got out of the train, suitcase in one hand, the other gripping our passport. In the middle of the night we crossed this space, open to the sky, fenced in with barbed wire, 'tierra de nadie' (no man’s land). On the other side, was waiting for me at least 26 years of another life and I thought that I could already make it out. That day, I was only 26. But before that day, there had been other days, thousands of days, that I can still hear… Phonobiographie #1 , 17 min creative documentary by Charo Calvo Produced by ACSR, Brussels.
3:00pm - 3:45pm
Duncan Mac Leod & Steve Ely: Orasaigh
Commissioned by Taigh Chearsabhagh Museum and Arts Centre, Orasaigh is an acousmatic setting of Steve Ely’s eponymous poem, inspired by the landscape surrounding the tidal island of Orasaigh, located off the coast of South Uist, in the Western Isles of Scotland. Ely’s visionary poem, while firmly grounded on the island, explores a wide range of themes, including sea level rise, the 'sixth extinction' crisis, history, culture, politics, conflict, and class. As with Ely’s poem, the composition is rooted in the landscape through the presence of soundscape compositions, utilising immersive field recordings captured on location. Elsewhere, material for clarinet and highland bagpipes, along with creative reimagining of archival sound recordings from Uist, draws upon the Isles' rich musical heritage through Gaelic song and pibroch (an art music genre associated with the great Highland Bagpipe). Produced by Steve Ely and Duncan MacLeod.
3:45pm - 4:00pm
Alëna Korolëva: Sunset At The Marble Quarry
Sunset at the bottom of a giant abandoned marble quarry. Pigeons circle in the lower levels, offering the sound of wings, while starlings and swallows gather near the mouth of the pit, 50 meters above. The natural acoustics of the steep walls allow each bird cry to resonate in a living echo chamber, as if there were thousands not hundreds of birds gathering. Recorded in Borba, Portugal. October 12, 2022. Produced by Alëna Korolëva.

John Roach: Royal Lady Sister
In this interview, artist Desiree Mwalimu Banks discusses the vibrational disruptions to honeybee well-being posed by telecommunication technologies, the need to re-establish the regal and matriarchal role of bees in our world, and the importance of deep listening in drawing nearer to the more than human. The work she describes was developed with sound artist Grant Cutler during their Transmission Arts residency at Wave Farm in upstate NY. Produced by John Roach.

Matt Robin: Petra Hoc’H Eus Kavet? What Did You Find?
"This piece explores memory, loss, and cultural erasure through a phone call with my late grandmother who passed away in January 2024. In the conversation, she recounts her childhood in Brittany and sings “Petra hoc’h eus kavet, Yannig?” (What did you find, Yannick?)—a Breton song passed down orally from her grandmother. Once suppressed in France, the Breton language has now sadly been lost to our family. In my grief, I reach for lost connections, relying on imagination to fill gaps.” Produced by Matt Robin.
6:30pm - 7:00pm
Yulia Carolin Kothe: Poltergeist Or Some Scene Else
Poltergeist or Some Scene Else is an essayistic radio work by Yulia Carolin Kothe that takes the Barras Market's (Glasgow) syntax of artefacts as a starting point for creating an expanding and ever-evolving tableau of intense, uneasy acousmatic atmospheres. The conspicuous and omniscient narrator takes the listener on a rambling walk through the Barras entering private and public spaces, a remote cottage and various ambivalent territories home to disembodied voices and close up traces of life like a wet ring of a coffee cup just plucked from the scene. Kothe's own electronic compositions are juxtaposed with re-articulated oral histories, chopping up DIY recordings on cassettes purchased from the Barras Market, and combining with avantgarde German poems by Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven (1874–1927), Thekla Lingen (1866-1931), Karoline von Günderrode (1780-1806) and Anna Ritter (1865–1921).

Luka Hvalc, Saška Rakef & Mojca Delač: Journey At The Edge Of The Night
Dr Evgen Bavčar has a special ritual. For over 40 years, he has been recording the nightingale singing on May nights in his hometown of Lokavec. Under the nocturnal cloak, in duet and in collaboration with the nightingale, the story unfolds into a narrative of the nightingales' blinding so they shall sing in perpetuity – a reflection on blindness as social castration, on existential proximities and distances, the position of the blind throughout time and the question: why should the pleasure of the night not be equal to the pleasure of the day? Produced by Saška Rakef, Mojca Delač and Luka Hvalc. Visit www.val202.rtvslo.si.
8:00pm - 8:30pm

8:30pm - 9:00pm
David Sappa & Caitlin Kiely: The Walker In The Landscape
The Walker in the Landscape began as a narrative script written and recorded by artist Caitlin Kiely in 2020. The spoken word audio was intended to be listened to as the walker or listener moved through a landscape or environment. The idea being that they occupy the space between the two characters – the Walker and the Narrator — as they temporarily locate the narrative in the physical space they occupy. David Sappa heard Caitlin’s script and began recollecting sonic memories of landscapes and environments they’d experienced, leading to conversations with Caitlin around the research and contexts surrounding her work. Thanks to: Grace Emily Manning - Voice, Narrator; Roland Ross, Voice, Walker; Dominic Lewis - sound assistance in Wales.
9:00pm - 10:00pm
Nils Loret: Derrière Les Dunes (Behind The Dunes)
A documentary that questions love and sexuality by guiding the listener through open-air meeting places threatened with extinction. These rumoured meeting places exist just about everywhere, frequented exclusively by those who know what they are looking for: the fulfilment of a fantasy, the meeting of sexual partners, the excitement of the forbidden. The two characters in the documentary have frequented these cruising grounds together to explore their desires and build their love. They hit it off immediately. Together they defend a queer culture written in the furrows left by the coming and going of bodies in these open-air cruising grounds. Behind the dunes, skin heats up, bodies are lost and desires grow. Behind the dunes a culture is passed on, a heritage is eroded and a love is cemented. Behind the dunes, they show us the places where people cruise in silence. Produced by Nils Loret.
