Pay attention!

Just a reminder that there's no show this week, as Resonance is broadcasting live from the Radiophonic Festival in Brussels.

Back next Sunday but remember that earlier today we went back onto GMT, so if your country doesn't do that (or you're in the southern hemisphere and you jump the other way) remember to adjust your listening time accordingly.

Now I'm off to the coast. Carry on.

We're back....!

Yep, the news you've been waiting for in your dozens...

Now that Resonance FM have successfully relocated to their beautiful new studios in South London audition The Sound323 Radio Programme will begin its third series from This Sunday 30th September at 7PM (BST)

We are pleased to announce that by popular demand the show has been extended to 90 minutes every week, so you now have 50% more audition to tune into every week, you lucky listeners!

We are fully recharged and ready to go after our summer break. There are many plans being formed for themed shows, exclusive recordings, interviews and possibly some live performances once all of the new studio is up and running. Resonance FM have a new website you can visit at the link over there on the right. You can currently view a film there of the new studio under construction.

To celebrate we have toiled long and hard to completely overhaul the audition website to hopefully bring you a better, easier to use site. There are a few new pages, including full playlist listings in the archive pages, a new audition Exclusives download page, and up and running soon will be an archive of artist and label links from our playlists that we hope will build over time into a useful contacts resource. We have also added half or dozen or so more MP3 recordings of early shows that were missing from the previous site archives.
The site is still very new and likely to have a few bugs and broken links. Please let us know if you find any, either here or via our new email address, which is Mail (at) auditionradio (dot) info.

We still intend to use this blog as much as ever to keep you informed of what is coming up in future shows and to post playlists. We welcome your comments here, please let us know what you think about the new show, the music we play and the new website.

Hope you manage to tune in Sunday. If not, we aim to continue to bring you the Mp3 archive of individual shows.

Thank you for listening.

Alastair and Richard

Hey! It's July! Where's the radio programme, you slackers?

Oops. Sorry.

When I wrote that last post I was 99% sure we'd be back in July. However, events at Resonance - mainly moving to a much-needed new studio - have meant that schedules for the next month or so are, erm, fluid. It seemed best all round to wait until the new studio was all ready - probably August - before scheduling the new series of audition.

So you'll have to wait just a little longer for your fix of new experimental music and old jokes. As soon as we have a date for the new series we'll let you know. Meanwhile you can still check out our archives and catch up on any shows you may have missed.

Update

Hello - just a reminder that, everything else being equal, we should be back on Resonance for our third series at the beginning of July.

The sharp-eyed among you will have noticed that I've moved this blog onto the new version of Blogger. I might make a few other (mainly cosmetic) changes here in preparation for the new series, and Richard's looking to give the website a fresh lick of virtual paint too.

As soon as we have a confirmed date for Show 48, I'll be right back here to let you know. Meanwhile, enjoy the long summer evenings (assuming you're in the Northern Hemisphere).

Thanks

Just a quick note to pass on our thanks to Robert who for the past ten weeks or so has been diligently recording the shows and sending them via email to me so that when I get home from London they await me ready to go up online at the archive. We have managed to get the shows up online regularly every week thanks to this.

The unofficial third member of the audition team, just wanted to say thanks Robert!
