The Lake Radio

We’re back from holiday and ready to add new sounds to our flowing radio stream. This time, we’ve been blessed with a selection by composer and drummer Greta Eacott, known for projects such as G-Bop Orchestra, One Take Records, and, most recently, composing ballet for children.

Her selection takes you on a journey through archival recordings of steam trains, contemporary classical works, Welsh avant-garde theatre, and much more.

About the mix, she says:

"WARNING: this mix contains extreme range of dynamics, do not adjust your

soundsystem :)"

As a genre-fluid post-pop duo, Laikka loves to break with the conventions of contemporary electronic pop music. Their music is wild and full of energy and combines the experimental with pop, big drama and catchiness. The duo’s live performances are particularly impressive.

GbClifford (as part of the SHAPE+ platform for innovative music and interdisciplinary art )

shares some of their cute picks from their favourites, newfound gems, friends and beyond.

No specific genre, only sensitive music full of samples, mash-ups, guitars and love.

In Residence With is a podcast series that delves into the creative processes of sound artists during their residencies at Sound Art Lab in Struer, Denmark. Each episode offers an intimate glimpse into the artists' explorations, experiments, and reflections as they develop new work.

In this episode, we meet composer and instrument builder Laurits Jongejan, just as he completes Sun Chariot—a striking 2x2 meter electromechanical instrument assembled from more than 2,000 parts. Drawing inspiration from the Danish Bronze Age and the cryo chambers of quantum computers, Sun Chariot blends aluminum gongs, speaker plates, and mechanical mallets into a sculptural sound machine.

Laurits explores his newly born instrument as its metallic resonance marks the beginning of its sonic life. Not built for the stage, but for immersive exploration, Sun Chariot invites us to rethink what an instrument can be.

A conversation with Bureau for Listening on their performance Borgerservice for Listening during Struer Tracks 2025

Welcome to the birthday edition of MHIYH. Yes I'm turning 50 next week, which calls for a music celebration with some new tunes and a litttle súrprise. I remodelled the inkjet to fly us into a happiness of strobes. Time to get hard like a smiling worm and release. Your eyes will drink water to the healing tones of a santur and karma will make you a miniboss, as the authorities have failed us. Recovery is near and we fly through a big void and we're gone gone gone, into the music sphere, where we can recognize ourselves. A place where humanity means fairness and kindness. Leo is in the sun and is shining on us. Be brave!

Stefanie Egedy composes music for subwoofers and created a large-scale installation with massive subwoofers at the harbour during Struer Tracks 2025. The Lake’s Timmy Olivia Thygesen and Louise Tandrup Esbensen met her in autumn 2024 during her residency at Sound Art Lab in Struer, where she was developing the project BODIES AND SUBWOOFERS (B.A.S.). In this interview, Stefanie talks about her creative process and the ideas behind B.A.S., exploring the physical and emotional power of low-frequency sound.

We meet Maryia Kamarova & Kunrad, two of the artists at this years’ Struer Tracks for a chat about their installation “Hulko” exhibited at this year's biennial.

The Lake – Struer Tracks AirChoir no. 2 with Anouk Kellner

The Lakes Jan Høgh Stricker talks with Belgian artist and radio producer Anouk Kellner about the origins of Airchoir and the role of the organ in her artistic practice. In Airchoir No. 2: Dirges for (26) Coded Organ Voices, inflatables breathe through organ pipes like living beings, blurring sculpture and sound. Kellner reflects on composing for this unconventional choir, the dualities it evokes, and the role of live activation in shaping the work.
