Their work begins with a core belief that all art-making is an act of listening — whether to our individual or collective histories / behaviours / philosophies / traumas / futures.

Lauren Sarah Hayes is a Scottish improviser, sound artist, and scholar who is recognised for her embodied approach to computer music. Her music is a mix of experimental pop/live electronics/techno/noise/free improvisation and has been described as "voracious" and "exhilarating". Her performances stretch, transform, and sculpt sound by manipulating, remixing, and bending voice, drum machines, analogue synths and self-built software live and physically. Her shows are highly gestural, exploring the ephemeral and fragile relationships between sounds, spaces, and audiences. Over nearly two decades, she has developed and honed her live electronics improvisation system, an instrument that allows her to playfully navigate between the realms of responsiveness and unpredictability in both her solo performances and numerous collaborations.Jacob Heart PhD analysis of Lauren’s codeFLucomaGreg Lewis/Greg Jackson – Kill The Cop in Your HeadMaggie Nelson On FreedomEric Clark Ways of ListeningAchille MbembeLauren’s websiteEmbraceMini Savior Opt.Compilation from Hard Return Hosted on Acast.

Lucia H Chung is a Taiwanese artist based in London, United Kingdom. She performs and releases music under the alias ‘en creux’ where the sound creation springs from her fascinations in noise generated through no-input feedback mixing board. The volatile nature of the system and the unpredictable glitch from the excessive energy pouring into the equipment becomes her improvisational and compositional strategy. Lucia’s websiteLucia’s BandcampInner GeographyPhaseBlack Fountain from Studies of Impassable LandscapesRachel Whiteread’s InstagramI Am Sitting In A Room by Alvin LucierAudio-Vision by Michel ChionETEK AD 1223 MixerTapco MIX 260 FXMXR Phase 90 pedalJomox T-ResonatorOTO BAM Space Generator reverb unitTC Electronic Flashback DelayOther NIMB Musicians:Toshimaru NakamuraAndrew Leslie HookerDavid Lee MyersThis episode was researched, hosted, produced, and edited by Jim Reeve-Baker.The photograph used for this episode's artwork was taken by Taotzu ChangThanks for listening.
