Portland Dreams

Suzi Lamb first visited Portland in the early 2000’s, as part of a DIY west coast tour with a band from her, (at the time) home of Brighton UK.
When she saw the option to work with a piece of Portland audio for this latest Cities and Memory project, something resonated, connecting me to the idea of distance between then and now in my own life, and that of her bandmates. That sense of how things move forward, inevitably, but that an aspect can also remain, that can be conjured up, and reconnected with, like a talisman or a map.
Sonically, she was drawn to create a piece consisting of several distinct movements, utilising a broad range of sounds, and a narrative that draws in the listener. She welcomed in happenstance, and several aspects came about by what my former A’level art teacher would refer to as ‘a happy accident’, including some of the vocal work between Suzi and collaborator Nicky Rushton - these were nice surprises, and Ishe kept them in the final piece.
Elsewhere, she used small sections of the original recording, sometimes rhythmically, others atmospherically, and at others to inform melodic phrasing.
She called the work ‘Portland dreams’ in reference to the original audio, and in the way that a dream is a kind of memory, but can also be a vision for the future. Portland, or rather, the symbolism of Portland, can still be that place full of possibilities and freedoms she experienced for the first time back then, despite all the many changes in the world and herself since.

This XMTR Radio Hour features Tom’s House an audio drama created by British born - Amsterdam based artist Jacob Dwyer.

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.

The Limbotopia Workshop presents... The Widow

This was made as a promotional micro-drama for the album "Walk With The Militia" by Damos Room (Limbo Tapes 2026).
Inspired by the artist's world-building lore about a Horse Militia, and the title of the last track "Widows" I made this for their show on Radio Al Hara in celebration of the release.
It features the cloned voices of David McCallum, Georgia Ellis, William Conrad and Dick Bentley. In the debate about voice cloning technologies, I offer this in memory and admiration of those actors no longer with us, and the era of audio that they starred in.

Inspired by a serendipitous late night listen, this was made for a recent In The Dark event in Bristol. The event was subtitled: The Sleepwalker's Guide To The City, featuring audio work by Dinah Mullen and Michelle MacMahon.
Late one night on the run up to the event, Pete stumbled across a BBC production of "Rope"By Patrick Hamilton, in which Rupert Cadell (played by Alan Rickman) delivers a melancholy monologue that focuses on the city at night.
It was just the kind of thing he was looking for and this resulting piece opened the second half of the event, held at The Wardrobe Theatre.

Kreuzkölln
Samuel Robinson (UK 2026)
Samuel Robinson (UK 2026)
19mins
Kreuzkölln is a three-part audio drama following a personal and professional entanglement among three people over the course of a year.
Each part moves forward in time and shifts its narrative perspective: first told in the third person, then in the first, and finally in the second person, where the voice turns back on itself. As relationships overlap and shift, people find themselves closer to some, and further from others.
Rather than offering a single account of what happened, the piece presents different interpretations of the same events, shaped by position, responsibility, and emotional exposure. What feels reasonable or careful to one person is experienced as withholding, hurtful, or unfair by another.
Kreuzkölln is not concerned with who is right or wrong, but with how people make sense of situations from within them, and how personal relationships are affected when power, work, and intimacy become difficult to separate.
Written, produced, and edited by Samuel Robinson.
Music composed by Daniel Wilson.
The Narrator is voiced by Samuel Robinson. Franzi is voiced by Allie Cheroutes. Tom is voiced by Brian Stack. Simeon is voiced by Daniel Wilson. Sarah is voiced by Megan Kieldsen.

XMTR Radio Hour #41: Sounding Colossus
Social Broadcasts (UK 2026)
Produced by Social Broadcasts (UK 2026)
67 min / Episode 41 of 41
This XMTR Radio Hour is a little different. Lucia speaks to Garry Hunter the director of arts and heritage organisation Fitzrovia Noir - and composer/violinist Jack Campbell about a new commission from the educational foundation that has grown out of the Tommy Flowers community pub in Poplar, East London. The pub’s namesake Tommy Flowers designed and built Colossus, the world’s first programmable electronic computer, to help decipher the encrypted messages sent by the German High Command during WW2. 23-year-old composer and musician Jack M.Campbell has recently written and extensively performed a piece inspired by Alan Turing’s Bombe. With a bursary from TFF, he has now composed a score responding to Colossus, the computer built by Tommy Flowers to greatly expedite the reading of Lorenz traffic. The code was cracked by mathematician Bill Tutte, who, after the war, went on to teach at two universities in Canada, Jack’s home country. Following the conversation about outsiders, music, algorithms and maths, is an exclusive rendition of this composition: ‘Colossus’ by Jack Campbell.

Riley In The Closet

This is a story about the time Hannah’s friend Riley, who is trans, lived in their closet for two weeks. Outside, it was 70 degrees and sunny, a true California endless summer. But in the closet, it was fall. They played jazz, sipped tea, and left only at night to eat a loaf of bread. Listen like you are in the closet with Riley, as they describe their fall-themed teenage breakdown, inspired by Donna Tartt’s The Secret History. Sometimes, identity can only be formed in isolation.
