Christie Blizard: The New World

This was recorded live using all analogue synthesizers and electricity. I was trying to evoke the space beyond life and death. Produced by Christie Blizard.

Dirk D’Hulster: Tellurian Bell

Tellurian Bell is the second instalment of the audio-visual installation Bell Officium based on the Nieuwpoort carillon near the Belgian coast. (The first is Harvest Bell). It contains geophonic recordings, percussion sounds and datasonification of photographs of the carillon. In addition, spectral sound of the different bells with overtones are added with great detail. The sound part consists of an 8 channel track system and can be performed on various speakers. This is the stereo version made for radio. The carillon is extensively documented with photographic collodion glass plates in the book, Harvest Bell.

Assembling Land: Episode 2. Storytelling: Who Owns The Narrative?

From synchronicity to asynchronicity, affect to effect. In movement and stillness. Through somatic practices, we initiated a circular form of being together in space, sharing stories in non-linear ways. As a result, an ever-moving chain of sonic and written matter was assembled, creating a mode of sharing agencies and stories from sender to receiver; from receiver to receiver. This episode invites listeners to attend our chain of correspondences and letter-making, as reflections of personal and worldly perspectives—gestures of staying together. Assembling Land: Rehearsals Towards Place-making is de Appel’s COOP study group at DAI Roaming Academy which unfolded throughout 2024.

Prepodavatelsky Sostav: Birds Of Ruins

To describe the concept of the performance, it is necessary to tell a little about the independent exhibition Zabroshka. This cultural event regularly takes place in Yekaterinburg in abandoned territories. Initially, the exhibition was a self-organized flash mob of street art artists of the city. Later, institutional artists, art groups and musical communities joined it. Artists choose the location, theme of the exhibition, distribute places among themselves and for a month paint on the walls and make site-specific installations inspired by the authentic look and features of the territory. The exhibition lasts one day. The performance of Prepodavatelsky Sostav consisted of an experiment with a combination of electronic noise, female voice, romantic poetry and mixing all the components with delay effects to achieve a psychoacoustic effect on the listener. Prepodavatelsky Sostav (Teaching Staff) is a spontaneous collaboration of sound artist and noise musician Viktor Sapronov (Ryeshta), poetess Anna Sitnikova (Leleyapoems) and musician Tatyana Trachevskaya (blcb8a).

Toni Dimitrov: Graz Sketches

This is the seventh in the series of field recordings pieces from the field recordist and sound artist Toni Dimitrov dedicated to a city. After the field recordings from Athens, Milan, Ioannina, Belgrade, Bucharest and Berlin, this time the sound sketches were recorded in Graz, during his stay in the city while participating at Interpenetration festival at Club Wakuum in autumn of 2024. In the piece you can hear recordings from Graz streets, parks, galleries, the noise from public transport, fountains, interweaving subtly, blurring the line between field recording and sound art. Concept, field recordings, editing and directed by Toni Dimitrov File under: field recordings, soundscape, sound documentary.

Lucas Norer: Der Lange Atem

"Der lange Atem" is a sound art and research project focused on "celebration" and "hero organs", instruments used as sonic monuments during the Nazi era. Built between the 1920s and 1940s in Germany and Austria, these organs were often dedicated to the victims of WWI or featured in National Socialist ceremonies. Many were installed in churches, Nazi festival halls, or secular spaces like schools. Only a handful of these instruments remain today. The 15-minute sound piece explores three of the remaining organs through on-site recordings of their sound, acoustic environment, and the organists playing them. It also includes excerpts from a 1985 SWR radio program dedicated to organs from the Nazi era. Produced by Lucas Norer.

Jess Hamilton: Sink

Takayna is covered in sinkholes. Over thousands of years, rain seeping into the soil dissolves the dolomite rock below, slowly forming hollows and voids above ground. Soil and rock fall inwards and are washed away and the void grows deeper. To our eyes, the sinkhole’s surface is still and reflective, obscuring the orchestra of life within its water body. With one ear above and one below the surface we listen to frogs, birds, the wind through the trees, aquatic insects buzzing like tiny fireworks, burrowing invertebrates and clawing crustaceans. Takayna holds the largest ancient temperate rainforest in Australia and one of the last undisturbed Gondwana rainforests in the world. Like many forest sites in Australia, it is threatened and surrounded by logging. Gratitude and respect to the palawa pakana traditional owners. Dedicated to the forest defenders. Produced by Jess Hamilton.

Andrew O’Connor: Tune In: Homer

A recorded excerpt of a site-specific sound installation for radios and low watt FM transmitters created in Homer Alaska at the Bunnell Street Arts Centre. Multiple transmitters are set up in an array throughout the landscape, each broadcasting (on the same frequency 89.1FM) a unique collage of sound and story about the immediate surrounding. As you walk through the landscape with a radio tuned different signals fall in and out of range, each signal a unique collage of sound and story that explores the resonating history and memory that animates the landscape. Each collage is of a slightly different length and plays on a loop 24/7 creating a structure in constant flux, a narrative work with no fixed order that is never the same twice. The recording submitted is a snapshot of the work up and running, made on site through a radio in the streets and beaches of Homer. Produced by Andrew O'Connor.

Dorka Szender Kisfaludy: A Drift A Shore

'a-drift-a-shore' is a body of work featuring a 24′38″ soundscape that contains multilingual spoken excerpts from individuals who have experienced migration. This workshop series explored storytelling through the metaphor of a drift seed. Participants engaged in creative writing, sculptural building, and collective map-making, revealing personal stories as a form of introspection and healing. The project aimed to open a dialogue on the complexities of migration and diasporic experiences, amplifying historically marginalized voices. Recorded sessions took place at the Glasgow School of Art, the Garnethill Multicultural Centre, the Maryhill Integration Network, and MILK between autumn 2022 and spring 2023. Produced by Dorka.

Dinah & Molly Mullen: Echo Sister Audio Essays, Locating Echo

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.

Dariusz Mazurowski: Vanishing Signs On The Sky

Vanishing Signs on the Sky is the fourth part of a large-scale electroacoustic composition The Destroyer of Dreams, a very personal work, dealing with thoughts of happiness. It contains a large collection of various sounds – synthesized, concrete and others. In this particular case, the whole sonic spectrum has been processed with both analogue and digital tools to gain rather complex, hybrid textures. Composed and recorded at the De eM Studio between April 2015 and June 2017. Produced by Dariusz Mazurowski.

Budhaditya Chattopadhyay: A Nomad’S Guide To Listening

This radio piece consists of two components, weaved together by a common thematic strand of migration, de-territorialisation, nature, and the lived environment. It starts with a performative reading from the artist’s recent book The Nomadic Listener - an augmented book on migration, contemporary urban experience, and sonic alienation. The book is composed of a series of texts stemming from psychogeographic explorations of major contemporary cities through situated writing and field recording. Produced by Budhaditya Chattopadhyay.

Leonie Roessler & Mark Vernon: No Fires Or Floods Required

A meditation on memory and loss – lost things, lost data, lost memories – and the impulse to hold onto and preserve our personal past through objects, keepsakes, mementos, words, sounds and photographs. The things we can’t bear to be parted with for fear of losing some part of ourselves. Produced by Leonie Roessler and Mark Vernon during a micro residency at Studio LOOS, Den Haag in November 2023.

Tom White: An Awful Energy

The Oare Marshes Nature Reserve in Kent was once used to manufacture gunpowder for the first world war effort. On 02 April 1916 a series of massive gunpowder explosions took the lives of 108 people (including White’s Great Grandfather, Sydney Clubb) and injured many more. The blast left a crater 40 yards wide and 20 feet deep. The explosion was so huge it was reportedly felt in Norwich and heard in France. Remnants of the site remain to this day among the rich ecosystem of birds, insects and non-native marsh frogs. An Awful Energy attempts to draw connections with the past and its present inhabitants/uses of the space; the tragic consequence of a singular event and the development of a very different ecology. Through site specific recordings and actions tracing fading lines in the landscape; a sonic demarcation or archeology can be felt. Produced by Tom White.

Simina Oprescu: Green Hermeticism

This binaural composition, inspired by Green Hermeticism by Peter Lamborn Wilson, intertwines spoken word and psychoacoustic phenomena, guiding listeners through a narrative on consciousness, matter, energy, and spirit. Drawing on key citations from the text, the work explores unconventional belief systems, where the symbolic becomes real, and nature is seen as a perceptive entity. With references to Ilya Prigogine's theories and Novalis' hermetic science, it delves into how consciousness shapes the natural world, unfolding through rhythm and transformation—from mineral to plant, animal, human, and divine. This journey reflects hermetic principles of unity and creation, as consciousness seeks itself through all metamorphoses. Narrator's voice at the beginning: Zach Hart. Recorded, designed and composed by Simina Oprescu. Produced by Simina Oprescu.

Omara Poppe: Moyo

"Two years ago, my father returned to his homeland Togo after 30 years. He left to set up a beer brewery 'Moyo Brasserie'. I had no idea if I would ever see him again. My father's life has always remained a dark stain. I became accustomed to him avoiding my questions as the years went by, though frustration and curiosity about his story grew more. In January, I went to visit him for a month. Through the answers he finally gives me, I try to understand why he made certain choices and why he never wanted to talk about them, including why he decided to leave and leave us, his family, behind. This audio documentary is set in an artisanal brewery on the warm beach of the of the Gold Coast. Together with my dad in the hammock, with his chickens, cats and his dog Moyo." Produced by Omara Poppe.

Mark Vernon: Drowned Villages Of The Derwent Valley

In the cold mists of the Derbyshire Peaks, beneath the leaden waters of Ladybower Reservoir, there are whispered legends of Derwent and Ashopton—the drowned villages. Once, they nestled quietly in the valley, their spires reaching upward as if in prayer. Now, the waters have swallowed them, murky and unyielding. Travellers along the reservoir’s edge sometimes claim to see shapes beneath the rippling surface: the suggestion of walls, the outline of roofs, a long-submerged memory surfacing for just a fleeting moment. Produced by Mark Vernon.

Jean Baptiste Masson: Rémanence

Rémanence is based on found materials, recorded by amateur sound hobbyists in France and Germany between the 1960s and the 1990s. The tapes and cassettes were collected in the two countries in Summer 2023, while on trip to investigate the sonic practices of French and German sound hunters. People were interviewed and sonic material gathered. Sound hunters were amateurs interested in sound, who from the 1950s, started to produce radio programmes, to organise national and international contests, to edit magazines, to gather themselves in tape recording clubs. This piece documents and poeticises their activities, that ranged from family recordings, to musique concrète, to the recording of bird songs, to the soundtracks of amateur films, to music, interviews and audio documentaries. Short electroacoustic compositions by me link and sometimes frame sound hunters’ recordings. The tapes and cassettes of this piece were collected thanks to a funding from the Deutsch-Französischer Bürgerfonds. Produced by Jean-Baptiste Masson.

Xentos Fray Bentos: Dream Escape Hatch

Radio is still the only location you can walk in a perfect circle and never arrive back at the same spot - and perhaps the only place where the face in the mirror is never expected to present the same image twice. Working both in and outside the unique coterminous space that radio offers us, Xentos Fray Bentos presents a series of concrete possibilities designed to disrupt, delight and facilitate a seamless exchange with multiple uncertainties. Dream Escape Hatch: as we journey from the surface of the moon back to a Waitrose shelf stocked with cans of bargain baked beans, we encounter a captive King Charles, a lyrical conundrum from the days of the Fab Four and discover an opportunity to dissolve in a ribald concussion of the senses.

(yes its about the environment)”. Produced by gobscure.

Dave Madden: We Three Nephites

Per The Book of Mormon, Jesus Christ visited the Americas during the three days between his death and resurrection. While there, he (sic) ordained twelve disciples, three of which asked for and were granted immortal life. Known as The Three Nephites, they have used the last 2000 years to lead souls unto Christ, all the while remaining anonymous and evading physical harm. Since the founding of Mormonism in 1830, its members ashamedly clamor for their visitations. Less elusive than Sasquatch, these persons will generally appear to someone in comparatively dire straits and produce a miracle. Further, the Three tend to materialize and then vanish either without warning or in a spectacular manner that leaves the audience frozen - as if tasting God’s time. This project began as an historical recording of the journal of my Great x5 Grandfather, Warren G. Child, which he kept between December 1872 and February 1905. Produced by Dave Madden.

Mark Vernon: A Loop Within A Loop

The Glasgow underground is a simple circular, concentric route travelling in both directions. The Inner Circle or the Outer Circle are the only choices - and if you plumped for the wrong one it takes only 24 minutes to do a complete circuit. Although at times incredibly noisy (you sometimes leave the train feeling mildly traumatised by the sound) the subway is undeniably one of Glasgow’s best-known and most familiar soundmarks. A Loop Within a Loop re-imagines the sounds of the subway network in an exploration of circularity, repetition and looped systems. Featuring field recordings made on the underground and interviews with former train drivers - voices and sounds, loop and repeat, come and go, ebb and flow - evoking the sensations of the subway - the rhythms, sounds and smells, the motion of the train, the grinding repetition experienced by the drivers, the impenetrable darkness and the light at the end of the tunnel. Produced by Mark Vernon. Visit meagreresource.com.
