Show 1065 : Echoes of a Promenade. Presque rien, tout à côté. (for Radio Panik)

Echoes of a Promenade. Presque rien, tout à côté.

Non-linear fragments from an afternoon tracing the northern coastline of Tenerife.
Casual conversations between two friends — about everything and nothing — dissolve into echoes of an impromptu jam session from later that same week. Layered throughout are scattered field recordings: wind, footsteps, passing voices, and the distant roar of La Palma’s Cumbre Vieja volcano, captured during its 2021 eruption and interwoven with snippets of local radio.

What emerges is a strangely coherent dérive — a collage of conversation, environmental textures, and informal improvisation. A radio piece that doesn’t tell a story so much as wander through one.
Echoes of a promenade. Presque rien, tout à côté.

Recorded in Tenerife, May 2025.All music by Paskali and Gonçalo, except a short loop sampled from “Montes Caucasus” by Andreas Tilliander & Goran Kajfeš.Edited by Gonçalo F. Cardoso, Tenerife 2025.

show # 1064 Echo Chamber Of The Woosphere By Aja Ireland (Radio Worm)

Echo Chamber of the Woosphere

by Aja Ireland for Radio WORM

Aja Ireland is an award-winning sound and performance artist making deconstructed club and industrial techno. This radio piece explores the evolution from the Noosphere (the 20th-century vision of a unified global consciousnes() to the fragmented, chaotic Woosphere of today.
100 years ago, scientists imagined a world where human intellect would merge into a divine, collective intelligence. But instead of enlightenment, we’ve entered a gamified reality of chaosmosis—where misinformation moves faster than light, truth bends to algorithmic influence, and quantum woo shapes belief systems.
Through an immersive sound composition, Aja sonified the Woosphere—capturing the dissonance between utopian aspiration and digital-era confusion. Much of the material was recorded in the WORM electronic studio.

Show 1063: Brouillon Jardin, Jardin Brouillon by Sophie Courge-Pinna for Jet fm.

Jardin Brouillon est un pièce-recueil d’un temps passé à arpenter les jardins, à tourner
autour des pots, à les dessiner ; inventer son jardin-croquis, le planifier pour l’explorer.
Ajouter un élément un par un, minutieusement fabriquer son paysage. L’autrice nous fait
découvrir ce qui l’obsède dans son jardin secret : les petits être qui l’habitent, les mondes
cachées sous les feuilles. Ballade musicale, improvisations, poèmes et journaux sonores.

Sketchbook Garden is a sound-collection spent wandering through gardens, drawing them;
inventing your sketch-garden, planning it to explore it. Adding elements one by one,
meticulously crafting your landscape. The author lets us discover what obsesses her in her
secret garden: the little beings that inhabit it, the worlds hidden beneath the leaves.
Musical ballad, improvisations, poems and audio journals.

Sophie Courge-Pinna est autrice sonore, poétesse et dessinatrice. Son univers artistique est
peuplé de créatures étranges, qui poussent ou rampent dans des paysages lointains.
Puisant sa force dans la fiction et le fantastique, elle n’hésite pas à brouiller les réalités
dans ses créations, à laisser parler les voix du merveilleux ou de l’inquiétant. Ses œuvres
sont des micro-histoires, des temps d’immersion dans des univers sans codes et
profondément rebelles

Show 1060: “In the waiting room” by Kyriakos Plsds (Kanal 103)

“In the Waiting Room” is a sound performance first presented at To Pikap record store in Thessaloniki, Greece, as part of the art exhibition Empty Chairs, which took place in April, 2025.

The piece draws inspiration from Giannis Skarimpas short story “Three Empty Chairs” – a ghost tale that subtly shifts between the comic and the uncanny. In this work, Skarimpas’ peculiar language is stripped away to be reassembled through sound, a world of scattered fragments, stray echoes, and uncertain sequences – what is said and what remains unsaid.

Kyriakos Plsds: composition and digital programming, electroacoustic guitar, field recordings, vocals

Eleonora Siarava: voice
Recorded and mixed by Kyriakos Plsds
Mastered by Christos Megan

Kyriakos Plsds is a musician who moves across a broad spectrum of sonic landscapes. His practice drifts between folk-inspired songwriting and experimental fields. He has released many albums and performed live with bands such as Minor Mine, As Never Before, Next & Patient, My Last Spring, The Coal Heart and Πειραματική Ορχήστρα Ασυμφωνίας.

show 1059: Rumbling for Peace (Soundart Radio)


8th May 2025 was marked in the UK as the 80th Anniversary of VE Day–“Victory in Europe”. The plan was to meet that evening at the Soundart Radio studio, and make some noise on behalf of the cause of peace everywhere. As we gathered to cook and eat together beforehand, we accidentally set off the fire alarms and disrupted the peace for everyone around. This set the tone for the improvisation that followed. Featuring Hessel Veldman, Nicole van der Veen, Sam Richards, Phil Harrison, Kerry Priest, Shelly and Otto Love, Lucinda Guy, Chris Booth and probably some others. Produced by Hessel Veldman for Soundart Radio.

Show 1057: martiensgohome – “I really should have seen through the airwaves” – Radio Campus Bruxelles

martiensgohome – I really should have seen through the airwaves
The inspiration for this piece came from the idea of treating the radiowaves as a living environment, a complex landscape just waiting to be explored. Applying field-recording methods to the shortwave signals of the radio highlights its various sceneries, and its diverse inhabitants. From radio amateurs to state propaganda, and from entertainers to religious freaks, all types of discourses can be found here competing for attention. Surrounding these voices is an equally fascinating ocean of electronic sounds : magnetic storms, carrier waves, interferences, radio-jamming, hum and buzz. The aether is an infinite synthesizer. The natural tones and human-made noises of the airwaves represent an inexhaustible source of sound material and inspiration.
This piece has been composed with the help of the scordinator, a computer program devised by martiensgohome during a residency in the Q-O2 workspace in 2023. The program generates a graphic score for multiple musicians to follow, suggesting dynamics, entry points and pauses for each performer. Designed for live performance as well as for decision making in the studio, it is both a game and a tool. It reconciles conducting and improvisation insofar as it doesn’t tell the musician what to play, or how, but lets him make creative choices within a timeframe.
martiensgohome is a radio-art collective based in Brussels and has been active on the air since 1996. They operate every week on Radio Campus 92.1 FM where they produce a one hour-long improvised show , using field-recordings, electronics, objects and guitar. They also perform live whenever possible, preferably in special settings, composing site-specific interventions or playing unconventional venues.

Show 1056 : Les Corbières | Lucien Bertolina (Radio Grenouille – Euphonia)

The initial idea was to work on the site of Corbières in L’Estaque from recordings to restore the current sound panorama.
I knew the place for having traveled it many times during my childhood and having kept in mind a series of scenes and events lived.
When I began the composition I felt the need to bridge between the present and the past, at the time when Les Corbières was not a place of pleasure but essentially of work. A bridge to better understand the incessant flow of becoming, try to situate myself there.

The Tables:

1 The sunrise
2 Sea holes
3 The Waiting
4 The factory 1
5 The Rove Tunnel
6 The storm
7 Passages
8 The factory II
9 Beyond the shore

I thank Luc Ferrari for allowing me to use the recording of 2 sound objects that he had set during his residency at Euphonia / Grenouille in 2OO3, which are part of 2 pieces in: The Anecdotes by Luc Ferrari.
