Name: Maphis by Steve Ashby
Duration: 5 min 39 s
Description: Maphis is an exploration of found sound located within the cabin I stayed at while attending Mountain Lake Biological Station's ArtLab residency - wooden wind chime, refrigerator jangles, the ever-present meal bell, and a splash of Puremagnetik's Small Winters plugin.

From my new one out next week! (July 29).

In this program in "This is not a reading / Ceci n'est pas une lecture: Remixes & Conversations from 'There is no soundtrack'", we have two artists: Scanner-Robin Rimbaud and Stephen Vitiello. They are long-time friends who decided to create a collaborative response to "There is no soundtrack", titled "The Image is the Soundtrack"(2021). This program includes the audio-only version of the work, along with a public conversation between Scanner, Vitiello, and Ma recorded on February 10, 2021. The audio-visual version of "The Image is the Soundtrack" can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9yliJpbNwY FMI: www.scannerdot.com and www.stephenvitiello.com

Sounds of Mmabolela transports the listener to the Limpopo bushveld on the border of South Africa and Botswana. With recordings taken during the Sonic Mmabolela residency at Mmabolela Estates, Limpopo in 2017, the sounds have been transformed and sculpted to create an immersive listening experience of the natural soundscapes. Immerse yourself in the sounds of hippos, crocodiles, frogs, birds, cicadas, insects and more.

An imaginative geopoetic concept piece.
As well as the water that flows through the 70 mile pipeline from the Elan Valley in the Welsh uplands to the English city of Birmingham, this piece expresses the idea of a two-way sharing - or flow - of watery sonic ambiences.
Echoes, voices, field recordings, temporal reverberations. Reciprocities.
Atmospherics and hydrospherics of the counterflows.
Rural and urban, and in-between.
Sound art and acoustic ecology.

Big thanks to the sheep farming community of the Elan Valley, especially Dean, Jolene and Esme (Pen y Garreg Farm). Also to Cath and Krysia (CARAD) and Matt (Elan Links).
The soundtrack features 6min composed by Antony, followed by 6min by Nikki.
Both sonic sections incorporate pipe-band samples from Birmingham pipe bands.
The Elan Valley Aqueduct was constructed over 100 years ago by Birmingham Corporation, to supply clean water to a rapidly expanding city. A visit to Rhayader Carnival by a Birmingham pipe band was annual celebratory event for many years after.
The artist residency is hosted by the Heritage Lottery Elan Links project, and is connected to the 'Here Commons Everybody' programme supported by Arts Council England and the CCRI (Countryside and Community Research Institute)

Radio Art Zone was a 100-day radio art station as part of the European Capital of Culture Esch2022. Conceived by Mobile Radio and jointly produced with Radio ARA, it broadcast in the south of Luxembourg. Additionally it was live-streamed, and transmitted to a worldwide audience by a network of international partner stations – reaching upwards of a quarter of a million listeners.

Radio Astral is a flow of imaginative narratives derived from drone and ambient experiments, personal field recording archives, self-generative soundscapes, improvisational gestures and sequences on both conventional and unconventional instruments, as well as decomposition of random media archives.

The sound material aims to deliver carefully sculpted psycho-navigation, suggesting that the memory of the world is an energy compound containing us all—a multi-layered resonant field in constant interaction with the space-time continuum, which we eventually experience as a reality.

This sonic journey consists of 108 tracks. I am sharing with you the first 6 hours, the original 22 hour long broadcast is archived on the Radio Art Zone page, along with other 99 amazing sound artists.
