1- MEMORABILIA. COLLECTING SOUNDS WITH.... Andy Votel Part I.

Produced by Matias Rossi

Over the past twenty years, Andy Votel has travelled far and wide in a quest to buy as many records as he could. His main motivation is to listen to music, and the only way to get the music he likes is generally to buy and collect it.

3- PROBES #1. Curated by Chris Cutler

PROBES #1 sets the scene and investigates early reconsiderations of pitch: probes that postulate new scales to be constructed through the ever-greater subdivision of the inherited intervals of equal temperament.

6- MEMORABILIA. COLLECTING SOUNDS WITH... Eric Isaacson. Part I. Produced by Rosanna Arbon

It may seem obvious looking back but Eric Isaacson had no idea that a childhood obsession with The Beatles and an armful of Daniel Johnston cassettes would be the foundation for his work as founder of Mississippi Records label and shop and the keeper of a uniquely free flowing record collection that is detached from time.

7- PROBES #3. Curated by Chris Cutler

This is where pitch becomes weightless and all that is solid melts into air: futurism, noise, electricity, ecstasy and uncertainty. We look at the lure and power of sliding tones.

10- INTERRUPTIONS #15. Cumulative Tails. Curated by Vicki Bennett

Cumulative Tails is a pun upon the 'cumulative tale', where each part of a story relates to that which just preceded and followed it. This radio mix, curated by Vicki Bennett, has been created using that process – a succession of audio tracks picked in conceptual relation only to that which was previously played.
