GARDEN INVICTA. A NEW M-CORP ALBUM. Download: m-corp.bandcamp.com Compact Disc: /m-corp/releases/garden-invicta-album Stream: A continuous body of surface water flowing within the beds and bank of a channel THERE WILL BE A LISTENING PARTY ON BANDCAMP: FRIDAY APRIL 17, 8PM BST. The album MAY pop up on Spotify et al that very same day. Now feels like the right time to release this album after 18 months of quiet hard work... partly because it's a bright, laidback spring/summery kind of vibe, and partly because it was finished last week. The attached slides and audio previews hopefully provide some context as to what the hell we were thinking. Trust the M-Corporation, and get this round of Kentish electronic jazz music down your gullet. Thank you and enjoy. #newmusic #electronicmusic

SINE WAVES ON SUNDAY Sunday 17 May 2026, 1500 BST @voicefmradio ‘Sine Waves On Sunday’ looks ahead to a host of exciting electronic live events happening across the central south of England over the next few weeks. There’s an introduction to ‘bonk wave’ from producer Ordos Mk. 0, who’ll be co-hosting the latest in a series of underground dance music nights in Bournemouth on Friday 22nd May, called ‘Music Is The Answer’. Modular masters Bea Brennan and Loula Yorke represent next weekend’s Acid Horse Festival, which takes place at the unlikely location of Wiltshire’s Barge Inn. And ahead of their gigs on the South Coast in a few weeks, we present early highlights from synthpop pioneers, Kraftwerk and Heaven 17. Also on this week’s programme: we celebrate David Attenborough’s recent 100th birthday with a soundtrack piece from the BBC Radiophonic Workshop’s Elizabeth Parker, and there’ll be spins of some new tracks by KOGG, Minotaur Shock, and local South Coast artists PiNG and Simon Aulman. Elizabeth Parker - ‘Worlds Apart’  @koggmusic - 'Doing Things' @bea_brennan - 'Can You?' @iamloula - 'aym mixtape (excerpt)' @ordosmarkzero - 'Electric' Simon Aulman - 'hitching into frisco' @minotaurshock - 'Deliberation Three' @heaven17official - 'Let's All Make A Bomb' @ping.uk_ - 'Fragment 005' @kraftwerkofficial - 'Airwaves' The Voice of Energy - ??? #electronicmusic #sinewavesonsunday #bournemouth #southampton #acidhorse

SINE WAVES ON SUNDAY Sunday 10 May 2026, 1500 BST @voicefmradio What will happen when we hand control of Voice FM over to the Poole-based noisemaker and genre-defier Tempered Truth? What will happen when one half of the Chemical Brothers forms a supergroup with the Norwegian pop artist AURORA? What will happen when Francis Heery puts the moves of a seminal chess match between man and machine to music? And yes - just what WILL happen when a lad from Ramsgate uses a self-built modular synthesizer to write this year’s British Eurovision entry? On this week’s edition of ‘Sine Waves On Sunday’, Voice FM’s electronic music show, some of the above questions may be answered. Tempered Truth is in fact a one-man band led by Steve Kermode, who plays guitars and synths, and occasionally collaborates with poets like Jez Sugars, in a quest to create ‘alternative-electronic-indie that is both current and nostalgic’. He opens his specially prepared session with a valid warning against the dangers of pigeonholing music into a select genre, and then proceeds accordingly to experiment across genres, creating a mind-bending wall of sound with a mixture of synths, MIDI and CDJs. Possibly the noisiest session to be heard so far on ‘Sine Waves’ - but not one to miss. Also on the show: new works from Southampton’s State Azure, German producer Harmonious Thelonious, and the British-Iranian improv band From The Lips To The Moon, plus a nod to the recently deceased Polish noise artist Dawid Kowalski (aka Purgist). @setfiretoloraine @mihohatori - 'Flatline' @state_azure - 'Surface of Thought' Francis Heery - 'Game 6' @tomora - 'MY BABY' @temperedtruthmusic - 'I Am Software (Glitch Reprisal)'* People Like Us - 'Teaser for new People Like Us release' Purgist - 'Alloplastic Adaptation' @lipstomoon @pouyaehsaei @tim_etchells - 'And Heavier' @stefanschwandermusik - 'Made In Italy' @temperedtruthmusic - 'Do More, See More'; 'Cake'* @lookmumnocomputer - 'Eins, Zwei, Drei' @flamingpines @hyperdubrecords @rowlands_audio_research @auroramusic @illegalartlabel @bureaub_hamburg @akazibrecords #sinewavesonsunday #electronicmusic #southampton #bournemouth #newmusic

SINE WAVES ON SUNDAY Sunday 3 May 2026, 1500 BST @voicefmradio As the duo Boards Of Canada prepare to release their much-anticipated fifth album - their first new material since 2013 - this week’s ‘Sine Waves On Sunday’ explores some highlights from their discography so far. Expect the beloved sentimentality and Sesame Street samples of their acclaimed 1998 debut, ‘Music Has The Right To Children’, as well as more sombre, introspective pieces from subsequent follow-up albums, ‘Geogaddi’ and ‘Tomorrow’s Harvest’. It's a sonically rich journey down a musical and hauntological memory lane, regardless of your past familiarity with the music of Boards of Canada. Also featuring on the show: a love letter to the Weymouth coastline in the form of ELECTRONIQUE’s latest single, a unique melancholy blend of electronica and country music from Severed Heads, and a modular synth improvisation recorded during a live demolition by e.m. arson. Plus new music from Seefeel, Cate Francesca Brooks, dee eye why, Lime68k, feeo and OID… @electronique_band - 'Here We Go' @seefeel.signals - ‘Ever No Way’ @e.m.arson - ‘it's all just noise’ @oid111 - ‘Fwell’ @lime68k - ‘For field sight’  dee eye why - ‘Autonomous’ @boardsofcanada - ‘Roygbiv’; '1969’; 'Nothing Is Real’ @catebrooksmusic - ‘Secure Environments Ltd’ @_feeo_ - ‘Win!’ Severed Heads - ‘Ugly Twenties’  @warprecords @lorecordings @ad93rec #sinewavesonsunday #southampton #electronicmusic #boardsofcanada "Orange"

There’s also a dive into the world of African electronic music via the work of Serokolo 7 and Abdou El Omari, a birthday celebration of a classic Orbital album, the exclusive premiere of a new track by the aptly-named Electronic Scone, and other new releases from Sweden’s Conny Olivetti and Portsmouth-based noise-maker Keith Seatman.

SINE WAVES ON SUNDAY Sunday 19 April 2026, 1500 BST @voicefmradio Triangular Wave: in the context of ‘Sine Waves On Sunday’, a sequence of 3 pieces of electronic music, representing a specific artist/topic, or chosen by a special guest. First to take part in this new occasional feature is Roberta Fidora, who accurately describes herself as ‘the most interesting Isle of Wight musician you’ve never heard of’. Having previously recorded under the name Curxes, more recently she has set to work on a forthcoming 8-track EP under her own name, in order to further explore her interest in strange art-pop that falls ‘somewhere between Bet Lynch and David Lynch’. She directs and animates all of her own music videos, even curating the ‘Animation Array’ show for The Indie Beat Television, and is a staunch champion of federated social media and the independent music system. The works of Mort Garson, Sparks and Björk are particularly special to Roberta, as she explains in this week’s edition of ‘Sine Waves’. Also on the programme, we preview this month’s Ambient Afternoon at the Museum of East Dorset, via the work of Andrew Heath and James Osland. There will also be an introduction to the Southsea-based experimental techno band LIPWORMS, an instant tea jingle by Daphne Oram, odes to the skies of Rome and Jutland by Ogle & Mugwood, and a nostalgic track 35 years in the making from Nylon Futures… Roberta Fidora - ‘Mover’ @oglemusic @_mugwood_ - ‘Leaves Carried Away’; ‘Andoral Part 2’ @lipworms - ’Teeth’ Nylon Futures - ’2061’ Daphne Oram - ‘Nestea’ Roberta Fidora’s Triangular Wave:     @sparks_official - ‘Tryouts For The Human Race’     @bjork - ‘Army Of Me’     @mort.garson - ‘Plantasia’ @the_vi_artist - ‘Love in the Forest Glade’  @jamesoslandphotography Andrew Heath - ‘I Could Smell Summer In The Sea Air’ @subexoticrecords @strongislandrecordings @paradigm_discs @onelittleindierecords @evergreenmusicuk @elm_records #electronicmusic #sinewavesonsunday #southampton #portsmouth #isleofwight

SINE WAVES ON SUNDAY Sunday 12 April 2026, 1500 BST @voicefmradio It’s almost that time of year again, where independent record stores up and down the land are inundated, in great numbers, with highly tempting bits of vinyl. This week, ‘Sine Waves on Sunday’ attempts to make sense out of this year’s Record Store Day Exclusives in the electronic category. Not only does this mean a good excuse to play an early Human League radio session and previously rare offcuts from the Orb and Brian Eno, but we also preview - via Loraine James, Holland Andrews and yuniya edi kwon - a new compilation called ‘PIONEERS’, where today’s female-presenting electronic artists write musical love letters to earlier female trailblazers like Björk and Laurie Anderson. And if all that wasn’t enough, ‘Sine Waves’ is also packed with other new electronic releases, including Misterben’s poignant tribute to the snooker commentator John Virgo, an excerpt from a live collaboration between Actress & Suzanne Ciani, Squarepusher’s latest orchestral fusion, and warped pop from the likes of Anne Clark, Cylob, Madeline Goldstein and local act ‘someday, sky’… Cylob - 'In The Bed Of An Ocean' @misterben - 'Six Pockets On The Table' @sqpusher - 'K2 Central' @__a__c__t__r__e__s__s__ @sevwave - 'Concrète Waves London B3' @somedaysky.music - 'Sweet Mother' @madelinegoldstein_ - '1996 Expectations' RECORD STORE DAY MIXTAPE:   @flyinglotus - '1983'   @holland.andrews @yuniya_xx - 'Wind Bathing (for @laurieandersonofficial )'   @brianeno @mrjonhopkins @leoabrahams - 'Surfacing'   @rivalconsoles - 'Future Worlds'   @setfiretoloraine - 'On Time (for @bjork )'   @theorblive - 'Now Here'   @theartofnoisehomeservice - 'Hallelujah'   @humanleaguehq @newmartynware - 'Being Boiled' (BBC Radio Session, 8 August 1978) @anneclarkofficial - 'Poem for a Nuclear Romance'   @myoptik @pingdiscs @warprecords @artoffact_records @mercurykx @cookingvinyl @darkentriesrecords @cherryredrecords @actualartofthis #sinewavesonsunday #southampton #electronicmusic #recordstoreday #rsd2026

SINE WAVES ON SUNDAY Sunday 5 April 2026, 1500 BST @voicefmradio ‘Sine Waves On Sunday’ returns this week to @bournemouthemom with an exclusive recording made at the award-winning electronic open-mic back in February - this time, featuring the improvisational modular talents of Middle Aged Moron. Our latest deep dive into electronic sound also features cutting-edge computer music by Larry Wendt on his 80th birthday, the first ever fully electronic Jamaican dancehall reggae track as realised by Wayne Smith, a classic Venetian Snares song, and new releases by Ladytron, Max Cooper, Analog Tara and Hannah Lew. @ladytron - ‘Sing’ Larry Wendt - ‘Someone’s At The Goddamned Door Again’  Analog Tara - ‘III Of V’  @hannahlew_ - ‘Sunday’ @venetian_snares - ‘Everything About You Is Special’ @maxcoopermax - ‘Pattern Index’  Middle Aged Moron - Live at Bournemouth EMOM, 19th February 2026 Wayne Smith - ‘Under Me Sleng Teng’ #sinewavesonsunday #electronicmusic #southampton #bournemouth #bournemouthemom

SINE WAVES ON SUNDAY Synth East 2026 Highlights Sunday 29 March 2026, 1500 BST @voicefmradio “And now… from Norwich…” Having spoken to organiser Robin Vincent back in February about his then-imminent fourth Synth East festival, ‘Sine Waves on Sunday’ returns to Norwich this week, playing exclusive soundboard recordings made throughout the Saturday, which Robin has kindly passed on. The longest recording is a full live set from DIY improv outsider artist e.m. arson, who presented previews of her forthcoming debut EP, due for release later this year, and a range of homages to various femme pioneers of electronic music, from Clara Rockmore to Delia Derbyshire.  Also appearing: the former snooker player Steve Davis, improvising blind with fellow modular enthusiast and YouTuber Starsky Carr as part of the festival’s trademark All-Star Patch Off. You can also hear another live jam between Robin Vincent and Scanner, an excerpt of dub musician Ardler Saint’s live set, and a sneak preview of the new live album from festival headliners, Cabaret Voltaire… @cabaretvoltaireband - 'Nag Nag Nag (Live 2025 Single Edit)' @stevesnookerone47 @starskycarr - 'All Star Patch Off (Live At Synth East 2026)' @robinrimbaud @robinv00 - 'Improvisation (Live At Synth East 2026)' @e.m.arson - 'Live At Synth East 2026' @ardlersaint - 'Live At Synth East 2026' Performances recorded at @norwichartscentre , Saturday 21 February 2026. #sinewavesonsunday #electronicmusic #southampton #norwich #syntheast

SINE WAVES ON SUNDAY Sunday 22 March 2026, 1500 GMT @voicefmradio This week on ‘Sine Waves On Sunday’: an exclusive chat with long-standing techno duo System 7, as they prepare to launch their first new studio album in 11 years with a UK tour, including a show at Southampton’s Brook. Max Williams talks to Steve Hillage and Miquette Giraudy about how they crossed over from ’70s rock to ‘psychedelic techno’, their influences, how music can ‘bring a healthy, positive, spiritual energy to people’, and what keeps them going after 50 years of music-making. The show, in fact, is dominated by cosmic music from all over the world that combines electronics with improvised live elements. Southampton-based producer ‘and.the.ghosts’ utilises a live rhythm section on his new EP, while Iranian-British artists ‘From The Lips To The Moon’ rage against the world with a healthy mix of electronics and bizarre, captivating sound poetry. There are also memorable collaborations - one from Innis Chonnel & Loris S. Sarid, and another between Kaffe Matthews, AGF, Ryoko Akama and the recently deceased Éliane Radigue, as the fearsome Lappetites. And, representing the ambient side of electronic music, Lonetapes introduces a track from his poignant new album, and we travel to a disused Seawatch Observatory on the Yorkshire coast with Scholars Of The Peak. @and.the.ghosts - 'Palmbirds' @lipstomoon - 'Bulldozer' @innischonnel @loris_s_sarid - 'Moshi Likes It' The Lappetites @kaffematthews @poemproducer @ryokoakama - 'Birthday Mister' @lonetapes - 'Feel Sleepy Machines' @bunnyhausen - 'Lights' @system7official - '7:7 Expansion'; 'Habibi'; 'Soft Rain'; 'PositiveNoise (feat. @aguycalledgerald )'; 'Flower Of Life' @scholars_of_the_peak - 'Sparkle Trawl' #sinewavesonsunday #electronicmusic #system7 #southampton

SINE WAVES ON SUNDAY AN ÉLIANE RADIGUE TRIBUTE Sunday 15 March 2026, 1500 GMT @voicefmradio “Work of ashes – Ashes of the illusion that has become light – Descending into the very depths of the sources of life. Where Death comes to life, where Death becomes birth. Actively recommencing – eternity of a perpetual becoming.” - Éliane Radigue, Koumé Sine Waves pays tribute to the French composer Éliane Radigue by clearing the entire show for her 51-minute piece ‘Koumé’, which she wrote in 1993 as the final part of her ‘Trilogie de la Mort’ - a three-part suite exploring a cycle of life, death and rebirth, and now often seen as Radigue’s magnum opus. It’s a strong example of the extremely gradual unfolding of sound which Radigue helped pioneer, and the perfect soundtrack to clear one’s mind on a Sunday afternoon. Join us as we celebrate a remarkable and unique artist… by exploring her own interpretation of wherever it is that she has now headed. Rest in Power Radigue. Éliane Radigue - 'Koumé' (Trilogie de la Mort) #elianeradigue #electronicmusic #sinewavesonsunday
