The worlds leading radio art station brings you: a performance, a radio show, an installation, an endurance test.

Rare UK performance by legendary Japanese post punk group during their 4 drummers + synth / vocals phase.
Ken presents his Nervous Magic Lantern, wherein film itself is forsaken for an investigation of hypnotic and trancelike crystaline forms. Eric La Casa works with recordings of everyday occurrences: the background hum of place.
