radio & guests

The inaugural psychedelic ambient event, Resonance is an exploration of the harmonic relationship between light, sound, and settings in some of the Calderdale (West Yorkshire) most ethereal and intriguing spaces.

Taking place at 9A Projects featuring John Haycock (Kora, woodwind + electronics) on January 27th, with accompanying visuals by Jamie House (crystal motion projector and refractor).

These events will highlight the natural reverberation of the spaces themselves as musical instruments and explore how their acoustic architecture interplays with the space and visuals.

Resonance DJs continue the ambient flow into the evening and we are really happy that NTS host AHRKH (of the Golden Ratio Frequencies show) will close after John with his selection of mind-expanding, transcendental deep vibrations.

The Resonance theme will continue with further events held in different locations throughout Calderdale, West Yorkshire and we are excited about hosting the first of these experiences at 9A Projects, Todmorden within the historic walls of Robinwood Mill.

A free event although donations are very welcome to help continue the series.

John will play at 4pm

Resonance w/ Adam 21/01/24

A live recording from Wainsgate Chape, Resonance 003, 'Drone Bath'. As an extension of a more familiar Gong or Sound Bath (which exists as a contained healing experience) the idea was to create a continuous performance of ambient sound from multiple practitioners. Adam started the proceedings with a drone set, that incorporated original field recordings taken from the chapel in 1951.

Adam live at Resonance, Wainsgate Chapel (25/05/24) 07/07/24

2 hours of trance inducers, stress reducers, sonic meditations, sun salutations, deep vibrations, drone emanations and setting you up for a weekend of re-calibration. Keep it horizontal, keep it locked.

Golden Ratio Frequencies w/ Resonance 240824

our inaugural mix in a series that represents the celestial exploration between light, sound and setting,

for this, @kenny-gipton-junior (frazer) gifted us a striking fusion of sound. He took the opportunity to build it using albleton live, which is a method he hasn't previously used.

the software allowed him to layer multiple tracks on top of each other, meaning the process felt more like a composition than a traditional DJ mix. He wanted to purposely blur the lines between individual tracks, and take the opportunity to play with combinations, tones and textures in a more considered way than using regular decks, or a more linear method of recording a mix. 

ultimately he is aiming for consistency of mood, and a sense of flow, despite using tracks spanning the last 50+ years (the oldest track on this collection dates from 1970). He is particularly happy with the inclusion of the track ‘Nike’ from the seminal ‘Deep Listening’ release (by Pauline Oliveros, Stuart Dempster, and Panaioitis), which feels very aligned with the ethos behind the resonance series of events. He is delighted to give the Nigel Mullaney track (‘TSL Set 2’) an airing too, which uses Carl Sagan’s Pale Blue Dot speech to great effect: it’s good to have a reminder of our insignificant place in the cosmos.

the artwork is a collaboration between mark wagner @mark_wagner_33 and adam. mark creates cymatics from his sonic experimentation, and with each instalment of the series we will explore turning a fraction of sound into light. 🎨

episode III ~ w/ Luca

Alex Murray (narrator) is the librarian and archivist at the Swedenborg Society in Holborn, a 200-year-old institution dedicated to promoting the thought and influence of the Swedish C18 scientist and mystic Emanuel Swedenborg. 

This wide-ranging talk, recorded at The Burning of the Clavie at MKII in January 2025, summarises the philosophy and teachings of Swedenborg, his relevance to resonance, and introduces Sam Mcloughlin and David Chatton Barker’s @folklore-tapes performance of their electro-acoustic work ‘Heavenly Realms’, which was written and conceived after their residency at the Swedenborg Society.

Swedenborg’s most renowned work, Heaven and Hell (1758), synthesised years of dreams, trance states and ecstatic communications with angels into a complete vision of the afterlife and the spiritual realms. In it Swedenborg meticulously details a stratified order of the heavens, an ultimate reality within which physical matter relates to spirit through divine correspondences emanating from a highest, purest echelon, God.

The duo approach this vision of eternity through music created entirely with a collection of antique clock chimes and harmonics, and as Alex outlines in his talk, the music is a living embodiment of Swedenborg philosophy.

@syberkid creates a journey through the flames, leaving us with the burning embers of an eclectic mix of drone and ambient harmony. This was recorded live at the ‘Burning of The Clavie’ at MKII in London, on January 11th 2025.

episode V ~ w/ adam

A celebration of the most vibrant spring in recent memory. 

A lucid dream-like journey, recorded beside a stream in the beauty of the Calder Valley. Resident of ambient leaning artistic collective 'resonance', adam presents a glimpse of resonance in West Yorkshire for our springtime Bloom Loops sonic journey. 

Beside a quiet and peaceful spring between Todmorden and Hebden Bridge, adam has incorporated field recordings of 'the pond', blending these with a selection of deep listening ambient tracks, and otherworldly field recordings of springtime. The running waters of the valley, the birds, bees, and a bunch of friends.

adam is a key member of the resonance crew - a network of gifted souls who produce journeys between light, sound, and setting with their local community as well as showcasing the gifted artisans and the magic of the valley to events further afield, most recently in London and Manchester.

BLOOMLOOPS 014 - resonance w/ adam

recorded at live natural endings, todmorden 12042025

we’re honoured to host this live recording of thorn wych. the event was a magik gathering for the community and we want to thank everyone involved.

artwork is a blend of mark and adam creating a cymatic synergy of local elements and sound.

episode VI ~ w/ Thorn Wych

ahead of our next gathering, resonance regular @ahrkh, a.k.a, alex macarte founder of golden ratio frequencies label, nts host, and member of psych-noise veterans gnod has gifted us this 2 hour resonance mix, recorded live at a secret outdoor location in late April, just outside of hebden bridge, west yorkshire, during what was a beautiful blooming spring!

this heady mix is a journey through sounds and genres that tunes into the frequency of this very special secluded space, which we will soon visit for a mysterious gathering of souls…

“when resonance invited me to record a live dj set, outdoors, in a private secluded off-grid location this spring, I obviously jumped at the chance! I knew if Resonance were involved, there would definitely be some magic afoot! And I was not wrong. Surrounded by streams, trees, birds, flowers in bloom and blue skies and sunshine, this was little slice of utopian paradise! 

with only a handful of us laying back to enjoy the natural surroundings and with no plan as to what I would play, I could really zone in and just melt into the environment, going with the flow as the sounds of the the birds, water and leaves in the spring breeze intertwined with music, creating a symbiotic sound world or rest and peace.

a little private portal place that I’m happy to share with you all now. I look forward to being back there!” 

to get a flavour of his upcoming set at said gathering, lock in and ride the ambient, ethereal journey with us, through the dripping waters of the calder valley, with field recordings from the recording location mixed into the sounds from an array of artists, from home and further afield.

episode VII ~ w/ AHRKH

a recording from the pond gathering this summer,

reflecting upon his live set on the saturday, dan said,

"i'm feeling a lot of tension in parties, enjoying ourselves, meeting incredible people in beautiful places, alongside so much geo-political despair and hopelessness, and most notably of course, genocide. i think there is a need to seek escape from this, in many of the ways we know how, but we must also not ignore the abuses we see. we should embrace the beauty and love that some of us are able to feel simultaneously with our grief, fear and compassion. and with this mix i wanted at least to try and touch on some of the challenges we face personally and communally, as well as the sadness, and hopefully some of the joy as well, the bubbling of optimism we feel when we unite against evil. we need to be aware of these contradictions, and feel everything as much as we are able to, and hopefully from there imagine a better way, accepting the light and dark and making steps to a way of living. i tried not to labour this too much, but it was very present in my mind when preparing the set, and when playing it - of course to some this is just a mix, but it's a form of communication that you're free to experience however you see fit x"

episode VIII ~ w/ Dan Thorman

ASFON#2 adam (Live) @ Renae 31.08 Astral Industries x Sferic x resonance x ASFON

Hooley is a Leeds based DJ and the founder of Sound Logo, a bi monthly event at the listening bar Holding Patterns dedicated to ambient techno and psychedelic soundscapes. He is a resident and staff member at Narr Radio, has appeared regularly at city favourite Club Cosmos, and friend of resonance, he has contributed at many of our events.

“This mix offered an opportunity to present the softer and more reflective music that informs my listening at home. While not strictly ambient, and avoiding the more rhythmic deep techno that features in my usual sets, it still carries that influence. I value being able to contribute to such a great community, one that has really helped me find my footing early on, and I appreciate the continued support. This has been one of the most enjoyable sets I have assembled, playful yet intentionally slow burning with a few surprises throughout.”
