The Sand Hills by Joe Howe - Inspired both by the short-lived ‘Funkoper’ (or Radio Opera) movement of the 1920’s in Germany and British storytelling from the same period, ‘The Sand Hills’ is a Quasi-Operatic Radiophonic work exploring ideas of magic, control and influence through the power of the recorded (and broadcasted) voice.

What You See by DinahBird and Jean-Phillipe Renoult - In June 2016 during a residency in Kilpisjarvi, Northern Finland, the artists came across the crash site of a WWII German Junker bomber plane, brought down in the midst of the bleak Arctic landscape in 1942. Over seventy years later remnants of the aircraft are clearly visible, possible wing parts, piping and rusty metal are fused and fossilized into the stony lunar landscape, like a decaying dinosaur carcass, or perhaps a forgotten memorial to those who perished. The recordings in this piece were made almost entirely on site.
