    Colliding Lines #20 - Helicotrema Again (part 2)

    Colliding Lines present live sessions, cross-genre collaborations and left-field recordings drawn from the London, UK and international experimental scenes; a long-form love letter to recorded audio as soundtrack, as sound art and as storyteller. In honour of Helicotrema’s 10th recorded audio festival, coming up September 29th, today’s show revisits a playlist previously curated for broadcast by the festival’s organisers (the collective Blauer Hase). Inspired by the first decades of radio, Helicotrema is set up like a screenless film festival. Gathering in-person in venues which vary year-to-year, audiences are invited to immerse themselves in radio plays, narrative sound works, audio documentaries and poetry. Colliding Lines are delighted to contribute material to this year’s festival – more on this soon. This month we are also delighted to feature works from Stephan Barrett, Sylvia Hallett and Nichola Scrutton. Colliding Lines airs on Resonance Extra on the third Thursday of every month, with listen back options for all of our shows on Mixcloud, Soundcloud, and wherever you get your podcasts. TRACKLIST Nichola Scrutton – Dwelling Encounters (live excerpt) Stephan Barrett & Sylvia Hallett – Zero Crossing Hannah Dean – The Piano Tuner Valentino Russo – Hanna-Barbera Presents Magali Daniaux & Cédric Pigot – The Bip of the Soul Salvatore Piras – Ginepro Galia Bezukladnikova – Lo Specchio Sebastiane Hegarty – Rain Choir Variation

    Colliding Lines #18 - Nettles and Chalklines

    Colliding Lines present live sessions, cross-genre collaborations and left-field recordings drawn from the London, UK and international experimental scenes; a long-form love letter to recorded audio as soundtrack, as sound art and as storyteller. This month marks the release of River . Pathway . Static, upcoming album by Stephan Barrett and Sylvia Hallett produced by Colliding Lines. The two musicians find themselves nestled within field recordings of the River Lea, Tottenham Marshes, and Downhills Park, drawing the listener between the cracks and into hidden corners; into the rich background worlds that surround us daily. The two musicians first met and collaborated as part of Littoral Transmissions, a broadcast with Stephan here on Resonance Extra. For Sylvia, whose musical approach can be best described as “violin moving outwards,” to bowed bicycle wheel and vinery, this piece follows Tree Time and Bolt and Latch. For Stephan this follows on from sound collage and invented language project Abrasion Tapes, from long distant collaboration Blitemotes. We round out with a replay of live work performed and composed as part of 2020’s live series Reanimation, which featured artists Ingrid Plum, Bell Lungs, Martin Clarke with Derek Yau, and Merlin Nova to name a few.

    Colliding Lines #17 - You Don't Know (part 2)

    Colliding Lines present live sessions, cross-genre collaborations and left-field recordings drawn from the London, UK and international experimental scenes; a long-form love letter to recorded audio as soundtrack, as sound art and as storyteller. This month we speak to poets and veteran podcasters Lizzy and David Turner about You Don’t Know, their collaborative literary, visual and audio series. Combining original writing with hand-made publications and podcasts, their series is a place to experiment with project ideas and push each other creatively – a process which has involved among other things robot voices, poetry printed on acetate sculptures, and NFL commentator found poems. Co-presenter Theresa Elflein returns bringing an eclectic selection of independent artists found out there in the wild web and collected for you, and Nick Murray scores poems from our recently released anthology H O M E. Colliding Lines airs on Resonance Extra on the third Thursday of every month, with listen back options for all of our shows on Mixcloud, Soundcloud, and wherever you get your podcasts.

    Colliding Lines #16 - You Won't Find Me Here (part 1)

    Colliding Lines present live sessions, cross-genre collaborations and left-field recordings drawn from the London, UK and international experimental scenes; a long-form love letter to recorded audio as soundtrack, as sound art and as storyteller. This month we celebrate the release of H O M E, a new anthology of visual poetry featuring eleven collaborations between designers and poets. Graphic artists reinterpret the poets’ words into a new visual piece, created between the two mediums, so this month we started with the question: what makes meaningful design? Introducing some of our poets to their corresponding designers for the first time, the show features work by Nikki Marrone, Daisy Thurston-Gent, Iris Colomb and Wesley Freeman-Smith. The anthology is scored in an audio interpretation by Nick Murray, and we are joined by featured poet-musicians Antosh Wojcik and Aidan Baker – talking about Nadja’s new record Luminous Rot. Colliding Lines airs on Resonance Extra on the third Thursday of every month, with listen back options for all of our shows on Mixcloud, Soundcloud, and wherever you get your podcasts.
