LIVE PERFORMANCES
The closest you will get to a sonic storytelling variety show with an binaural ghost story by Dutch collective URLAND, a live shape-shifting radio performance from Radio Limbo, an interactive live Reddit experience with Kyla Jardine and Felix Ford and friends will make you feel whole again with a 90’s banger sing along!

PROCESSION
In celebration of iconic feminist and freedom fighter, Queen Marie-Louise Christophe of Haiti who took holiday residence in Hastings in 1822, we present an alternative Haitian carnival brass procession.

HEADPHONES LISTENING INSTALLATION
Celebrating the amazing momentary space created under the pier twice a day, The Pier Sings captures the sound of the waves and resonance of the structure at high tide and plays it back binaurally in the same position at low tide.

LISTENING EVENT
Join Audio Flux to hear Circuit 08: Confection Finalists! Together we'll listen to all 12 Finalists, vote on top choices, and revel in the power of short form audio to inspire all the feelings. And we'll snack on special sweet treats by local confection queen Poppy Smadja.

SHOW + TELL/ LISTENING
Why do some sounds stay with us for decades while others disappear the moment we hear them? Why do some listeners build vivid mental movies from sound while others experience none at all? And if no two people hear a story in quite the same way, what exactly are audio makers creating?

PERFORMANCE
Inspired by a visit to Derek Jarman's garden, his film The Garden, and his diaries Modern Nature, the track, album and accompanying performance explore listening with garden spaces, considering them within a broader sounding environment of human and more-than-human encounters that shape not only the garden itself but also its surrounding environments and communities.

PERFORMANCE
A one-woman performance that moves between 1650 and now, two timelines that refuse to stay separate. Live voice and audio converse across time and space. Built from personal testimony, ancestral history and the political noise that frames certain women's lives as peripheral, as missing something, as not quite the right shape.

BINAURAL PERFORMANCE / TALK
Soundscaping and world-building in Dolby leads to curious questions about proxomity, dimensions and time. How do you begin to tell a story when the stereo field expands beyond Left and Right? Join Axel as they present something between a live performance, workshop and show and tell, exploring the binaural possibilities of storytelling.

SHOW + TELL
Why Hindenburg PRO is different from every other audio editor. The inspiration for Hindenburg PRO didn't come from a recording studio, a software company or an investor meeting. It came from a mission to connect people through storytelling.

TALK
Invisible hands is an oral history project, a collection of silent stories from women working in all aspects of the recording industry, from fabricating discs and the record-players themselves, to meeting the women who assemble the minute parts that make up our microphones, tape-heads, tone-arms and radio sets. These are the tools we have been using to make radio, but where do they come from and, more importantly, who made them?

DROP-IN WORKSHOP
Remixing History is an audio zine making workshop by Applied Stories and The National Archives which has been touring the UK for the past year. Participants are invited to browse real archival records from the Second World War, brought to life by actors, then cut, mix and edit them together in new combinations, along with sound effects and music of their choosing.

WORKSHOP/LISTENING
What happens to us when we listen together?
In a world where we mostly listen alone, scrolling, streaming, plugging in, WE will start from a simple provocation: there is no listening unless it is shared. Listening is relational: tuning your body to the bodies around you, to the room, to the environment.
