Using a Pico data-logger artist Theresa Schulbert recorded two days of activity of a slime mould sample. The resulting datas was later process by Leslie Garcia in order to compress this readings in a 6 minute format  to be sonified by a digital synthesizer. This experiment was conducted during The MusicMakers Hacklab at CTM Festival in Berlin.

A generous and wide ranging conversation about water, mostly dirty water, with Director of Water for the Environment Agency Helen Wakeham. 

Tackling in detail and giving historical context to the (all too literal) topic of shit in the river, as well as road runoff, farm runoff, PFAs chemicals and plastics. Including practical tips and future ambitions, this is a realistic and well informed deep dive into river pollution, asking what do we want for water, and how much are we willing to change to get it?

Helen lives on a boat in Bristol, enjoys several different river craft, wild swims, and has made a thirty year career in water. Water is her obsession. She is delighted that water is finally getting the attention in deserves, but life at the EA is not comfortable.

Mycelium - {sound} art as underlying network for advanced {deeper} listening
http://mycelium.poemproducer.com/

They grow in secret and yet form the largest living organisms
in the world: mycelia, the subterranean filament of fungi.
In this, the sound artist Antye Greie-Ripatti {AGF} sees a metaphor
for political activism in the age of the Internet.
Here, too, small cells are interlacing in the subsurface to effect the greater.
For her radio composition "Mycelium" Greie-Ripatti therefore sonifies
the vital functions of the forest plants and contrasts them
with voices of activists from all over the world.
This creates a multi-lingual sound network,
which transports a quiet but sustainable utopia: Together we are strong.

Encouraged by Paul Stamets: 6 ways mushrooms can save the world
Inspired by Peter McCoy and Radical Mycology
In admiration for the people's political activism.
