TOMS HOUSE - JACOB DWYER

Tom’s House is a one person performed audio-drama. It incorporates voice, live foley, field recordings and an original soundtrack composed by K.Freund, Kareem Lotfy, Jacob Oostra and Zuza Banasińska.

In Tom’s House, we listen to the diaristic meanderings of someone who’s returned to the UK for the first time in 15 years. Walking up Haddon Drive he spots the house of an old friend, Tom. The front door is open, so he goes inside. Wandering around the empty Tudor cottage –making cups of tea, rearranging CD collections and zoning in on the minutiae of domestic space– he ruminates on ideas of emotional intimacy, friendship and grief.

Jacob Dwyer is an artist based in Amsterdam working with audio, moving-images and writing. His work often centres around personal encounters that could equally be seen as fables or heresy. He has presented in art spaces and music venues, including Cafe Oto (London), David Dale Gallery (Glasgow), Good Children (New Orleans) and De Appel (Amsterdam). In 2022 he released The Devil Museum on vinyl with Mana Records and has since published Notes on Devils with Building Fictions. Most recently he has released his new audio drama, Tom's House, on South of North.

REAPING THE BOUNTY - MITRA KABOLI

Reaping the Bounty is a multimedia performance that explores the tenets of Shaker life. Largely using cutting room material and additional concepts, the performance is an accompaniment to my documentary, Making Utopia. This interactive performance takes a deeper look at Shaker life and examines what lessons can be brought into our modern lives. With the central Shaker tenet of, hands to work hearts to god, the audience is put to work to see what bounties can be reaped in this time of precarity. One part lecture, one part mugging and one part karaoke sing along, Reaping the Bounty will guarantee your place in heaven.

WHAT’S IN THE AIR? A PERSONAL HISTORY OF EARLY RADIO

“My granddad Sydney Wright was a pioneer of early radio, before the BBC, when Manchester's regional station was still known as 2ZY. My graphic novel 'What's In the Air?' reimagines his life in the early 1920s, and how he met my grandmother at the studio at the Metropolitan Vickers works. I bring this personal history of broadcast to the cabaret stage through atmospheric sonic performance.” JUDE MONTAGUE

Jude Montague is a writer and composer who produces the weekly show The News Agents on Resonance FM 3pm-4pm Saturdays.

RADIO LIMBO - PETE HAZELL

Radio Limbo returns to St Leonards for another guided audio-trip — an unusual quest through original music, collage, soundscapes, and disembodied voices. The show celebrates radio as a shape-shifting portal to other worlds, a wilderness of its own, and its unique qualities of companionship. Join Pete for this curation and performance of surreal scenes and sonic experiments, using local intrigue and lost histories as the jumping-off point.

Pete Hazell is a music and audio artist based in Bristol. His various projects fall under the ‘Limbo’ umbrella, known for their signature blend of curious music, sound design, storytelling, and collage. His cassette label Limbo Tapes focuses on releasing music, monthly residency on Bristol’s Noods Radio is both a mix of new , and in 2024, Pete self-produced and released the audio series Limbo Calling as a podcast, expanding the Limbo universe through character, voice work, and surreal audio fiction.
His latest focus is performance — bringing Limbo sonics to a live audience.
