Colliding Lines present live sessions, cross-genre collaborations and left-field recordings drawn from the London, UK and international experimental scenes; a long-form love letter to recorded audio as soundtrack, as sound art and as storyteller.

In honour of Helicotrema’s 10th recorded audio festival, coming up September 29th, today’s show revisits a playlist previously curated for broadcast by the festival’s organisers (the collective Blauer Hase). Inspired by the first decades of radio, Helicotrema is set up like a screenless film festival. Gathering in-person in venues which vary year-to-year, audiences are invited to immerse themselves in radio plays, narrative sound works, audio documentaries and poetry. Colliding Lines are delighted to contribute material to this year’s festival – more on this soon. This month we are also delighted to feature works from Stephan Barrett, Sylvia Hallett and Nichola Scrutton.

Colliding Lines airs on Resonance Extra on the third Thursday of every month, with listen back options for all of our shows on Mixcloud, Soundcloud, and wherever you get your podcasts.
