  1. Margate At One

    Margate At One

    In October 2024, the Radiophonic Institute partnered with Margate Radio to deliver a live broadcast that brought the sounds of Margate into focus. Eight locations were chosen for their sonic footprint and importance to the town. They were all captured at the same time – at 1pm on a Friday afternoon. The recordings were played back simultaneously the following week with the public invited to mix their own soundscape. This was followed by an improvised performance by Moon Zero and Melinda Bronstein who remixed the original recordings. This podcast features excerpts from both versions of the piece, which will be preceded by an interview with Margate Radio’s Paul Camo and Tim Garratt.  Location sounds by Chris Cholmondeley, Jack Goldstein, Clementine Blue, Melinda Bronstein, Chase Coley, Tim Garratt, Paul Camo and Buddy Peace. Location images by Ilia Rogatchevski.   Produced by Ilia Rogatchevski for the Radiophonic Institute.  Listen to Margate Radio: https://margateradio.co.uk Listen to the Travel Agency version: https://li.sten.to/rtamargateatone    Tracklist: Interview with Paul Camo and Tim Garratt Margate At 1 (excerpt) Margate At 1.5 - Moon Zero ft Melinda Bronstein (excerpt) Hosted on Acast.

  2. Scotland Before & After the Highland Clearances

    Scotland Before & After the Highland Clearances

    Taking place in the 18th and 19th centuries, the Highland Clearances saw people from the Highlands and Islands of Scotland forced from their homes, with whole communities having to seek opportunities elsewhere. These events were sometimes violent and led to famine, displacement and mass emigration.   The Scottish writer and campaigner Kenneth Murray, along with the dramaturg Kirsty Housley, produced a script for a Radiophonic Travel Agency episode that explored this period in history through the prism of a fictional sound journey. The award-winning composer Ella Kay produced the sound design based on their script. Travelling through time, we hear Scotland from the 1700s to the present day from the perspectives of different characters. With sounds ranging from blacksmiths and farm animals to waulking songs and Gaelic psalms, this episode allows anyone from across the world to visit Scotland before and after the Highland Clearances.  The journey is preceded by interviews with Murray and Kay, where we discuss their respective creative practices and approaches to this unusual time-travelling brief.
