This critically acclaimed broadcast is every Wednesday evening at 7-8pm, 
a series of hour long live interviews with people working at the edge of 
contemporary practices in art, technology & social change; discussing 
events and controversies, exhibitions, artworks and their social 
contexts. http://www.furtherfield.org/programmes/radio

Jake Harries has been making music in Sheffield since the 1980s and is a 
sound artist, musician/producer, composer and field recordist with a 
strong interest in media art and the practical use of Open Source 
audio-visual software. He was a member of electronic funk band Chakk 
which is best known for building Sheffield's first large recording 
studio, FON Studios, in the mid 1980s. He is currently one of “freestyle 
techno” trio Heights of Abraham and The Apt Gets, a band which uses 
guitars and only Open Source software on recycled computers to create 
songs from spam emails. He is Digital Arts Programme Manager at open 
access media lab, Access Space, and the current curator of the LOSS 
(Linux Open Source Sound) a website dedicated to music made with FLOSS.

Felicie d'Estienne d'Orves is a French installation artist who explores 
the meaning and impact of light through her work. She uses light and 
sound technologies to create a mysterious art of beauty and power, 
challenging the boundaries of her materials and our own perceptions of 
them. The resulting kinetic work appears frameless and seems to possess 
a life of its own. Her audience is invited to engage in both the works' 
seductive simplicity and delve into their complex layers of mystery. Key 
examples of her work include 'Gong', a resonant, pulsating, often 
frightening work from her Cosmos Series in 2009, and 'Monolithe', 2008, 
which stands like a futuristic needle-point purity surrounded by ancient 
spiritual drama. Felicie has had several public commissions in France, 
and has shown at the Nuit Blanche in Paris and at the Pierre Berge Yves 
Saint Laurent Foundation.

Also featuring 2 tracks from 'Explorations in Sound, Vol. 4 The Sound of 
Live Performance - Various Artists' by Furthernoise 
(www.furthernoise.org). Violin Plucked and Bowed - Alan Sondheim & What 
Is The Past But A Dream Of The Future? - Sara Ayers.

The live sound and music performance is like no other medium for 
expression and unpredictability, frequently yielding interesting sonic 
results, both on, and off stage. Sound checks, sound failures, the 
misassigned patch, unintended playing outcomes, FX overloads / 
calibrations and pinnacles of performative exploration can all create 
sources for eclectic new material.
