5th
March 2008: Water
Cycles | Dallas Simpson
A binaural evocation of the cycling water in our environment. This involves water cycling through us all of course, and all living things, and indeed through any use of carbon as fuel, for it is sometimes forgotten that water is released along with carbon dioxide on combustion.

12th March 2008: Future Worlds: Tricorn Init | Julia Lee Barclay
Future Worlds: Tricorn Init! is a cut-up of official and unofficial words found inside the Tricorn Centre in Portsmouth, just days before the complex was demolished.
Although the Tricorn Centre was voted Britain's ugliest building -- Prince Charles apparently likened it to "a mildewed lump of elephant droppings" -- it was also one of the only Portsmouth venues for punk and alternative music in the 1980s and its passing was mourned by a small but vocal minority in the town.

26th March 2008: A Walk Down Consulado | Martin Williams
Consulado is one of the main residential thoroughfares in the district of Central Havana in Cuba. It's part of a grid of narrow streets whose songbirds, kerbside congregations and constant strains of music give the impression of everyday life being lived out of doors, on the street.
All recordings made on Consulado in December 2007.

2nd April 2008: Watering | Maja Bugge
We use water all day. Every day. With the piece Watering I am interested in exploring the sounds of our 'everyday' interaction with water. To accompany these water sounds I have been using a crotales (a pitch-based percussion instrument).

Simon Duff is a writer and composer based in London.

30th April 2008: All Day Monday and Tuesday | Richard Youngs
All day every Monday and Tuesday I hang out with my son, Sorley. He's 16 months old and, among many things, likes adventure, people, walking and cooking. This is a celebration.
7th May 2008: 24/7/52 | Bill Aitchison
A radio snapshot of Bill Aitchison's recent performance - a show about time: how we experience it and how we tell it.
Performances of 24/7/52 are made with the assistance of James Dunn and Boris Kahnert.

14th May 2008: From Signal to Noise | Justin Spooner and Sylvie Wright
Everyday things - heard, folded up and heaped on one another. Patterns from our noise, signals of every type of life.

12st May 2008: Igelboda, Sweden | Maike Zimmermann
A field recording made in Stockholm, Sweden in winter 2007/2008.
Imagine a rail track in a residential area. On its right side is a parking space (where I am recording) and small blocks of flats and on the left side is a motorway. There is a train signal at a pedestrian crossing leading over the rail tracks. There is something about it I really love, especially sitting by the half-open window in the evening with candlelight and hearing the train signal from a distance. It's a signal that interrupts time regularly everyday. It reminds me of certain nostalgic feelings. And this gives it a kind of beauty for me.
28th May 2008: Tock Tick | Wolf
Tick Tock is a piece of process music devised by Clive Painter, otherwise known as Wolf. The piece is constructed using a variety of tape-looped recordings and found sounds such as a telefunken clock, an old recording of Sputnik and a voiceover by Microsoft Sam. This work echos the constant rotation of ever-present forces that unfold every day on planet earth.

4th June 2008: (all)(day)(everyday) | Octavio Carmargo and Brandon LaBelle
With the cigarette, the small noises of manipulating something, hanging around the same place, kids, some talk, some music going on far away, and an excited monologue in a strange language... And the overlapping of here and there, of that night with this day, and the morning light, but still dark, like echoes or small myths, and the streets full of laughter.

18th June 2008: Tartu Sound | Murmer
In February 2008, Maksims Shentelevs and Patrick McGinley led a workshop in the southeastern Estonian city of Tartu, entitled Sound as Space/Sound as Language, with a group of 15 Estonian and Finnish university students. The work focused on a development of deep listening skills and on the use of sound as a communication tool, or as a way to describe or create real or imaginary spaces. Only acoustic objects, brought in by the participants, and elements of the space itself (floorboards, walls, windows, chairs) were used during the two-day workshop. This piece, intertwined with reactions by a few of the participants, was composed by Patrick McGinley using recordings made of the workshop exercises.

25th June 2008: Boots Brown: All Day Everyday | David Grubbs
The Swedish improvising group Boots Brown takes its name from a pseudonym once used by the clarinetist and saxophone player Jimmy Giuffre. Guiffre came up with the name for a recording session in order to sidestep the demands of a recording contract. The current Boots Brown is premised on the perhaps impossible melding of free improvisation and the kind of US West Coast jazz for which Jimmy Giuffre was a key figure.
This short programme, Boots Brown: All Day Everyday, takes as its subject a set up and soundcheck prior to Boots Brown's concert on 25th April 2008 at the Bunker in Bielefeld, Germany. It is inspired by the series of documentaries that Luc Ferrari and Gérard Patris made for French television in the mid-1960s under the title Les Grandes Répétitions. These five documentaries about musicians in rehearsal baeutifull capture the sounds of the comparatively empty time that leads up to a performance. I've also admired Leonard Cohen's idea on Live Songs of recording the final song on a live album in his hotel room after the show. The live recording was made prior to the concert.
Boots Brown consists of Mats Gustafsson on saxophones and electronics; Magnus Broo, trumpet and, at least during this soundcheck, opera singing; David Stackenäs on guitar; and Johan Berthling on double bass.
On the day of this performance, Jimmy Giuffre died at his home in Massachusetts at the age of 86.
