A journey through experimental sound textures and rhythms.
Symbiosis is a space for your to find noise in silence and silence in noise. It is a forum of contradictions and experiments with sound.
You’ll find everything from low-bpm beats to idm & minimal tech, field recordings, microsound, lowercase, and much more!
Reconfigure your neural and aural pathways and expose yourself to unusual sounds from around the world!
Headphones recommended.
I am always looking for new sounds. Drop me an email or give me a call on the show – I would love to hear from you.

Next week:
30th August 2006: This week I chat with Jason Kahn, on the phone from his home in Zurich. Jason has been working with percussion and electronics since the mid 90s (following a decade of musical practice in other areas before that). As well as talking about Jason’s music we will be focusing on his label Cut in the return of the Symbiosis label focus.

“Part of my nature recording is capturing earth and solar system
phenomena using a variety of home-made instruments, some being
non-microphonal. Here is a stereophonic radiotelescope recording of a
strong lightning storm that gets momentarily overwhelmed by a powerful
solar radio burst.
Recorded using two dipole antennas as sensors connected to two modified
shortwave radios tuned at slightly different frequencies to get a stereo
field. Audio captured into a panasonic stereo VHS recorder.”

“‘Sounds of Sands’, strives to explore the sounds of coastal areas in terms of both the environment and the effects of habitation by humans. The field recording part was made on 3rd of October 2004 at the small coastal seaside village of Bellingham, located on the North Coast of Tasmania. The actual recording location is a little known area where the beach runs for a number of kilometres in length, with many sand dunes along its foreshore.
This recording was made in the mid afternoon on a fine spring day, and just after having a picnic there. My daughter, Emma, and her friend Charley, both girls of almost twelve years old at the time can be heard through out, with their laughter, while they sat on the rocks edge watching the waves roll in to bite at their toes.
To this, I added an improvised synthesised section. By setting up the arpeggiator to a pleasant pattern and holding down a chord while adjusting real time parameters such as filter cut-off and format filter control values I am able to create the textured sounds that I feel would fit in with the original recording.”
