unknown sounds: noa and rory on unknown sounds

unknown sounds: noa and rory on unknown sounds. (Jul 17, 2025)

Produced by Elena Botts.

"unknown sounds" is intended as a radio archive of experimental artists’ interior worlds, these that are externalized through their work, and the interchange through artist communities. This is an contemporary archive of experimental art-making in communities around the world, the inherent politicism of art, and the social change this may or may not represent. In short, it is intended mostly as a look into these small worlds, with the idea of generating more thought on both human fallibility and potential, and how art can engender hope. Each section here is meant as a studio visit, but also a glimpse into the doings of a wider community and the cultural, political repercussions of experimental sound and art-making.


this  month’s guests noa amson and rory spencer are creative collaborators, forming the duo VC2RL. their partnership is centred on documentation in every form and treats artistic practice as an industrial, industrious, and necessary action. the three presented works are currently (but not limited to) a trilogy, built on a process using the central dogma of writing->installation->performance. the works are public, the works are free, and the works are an attempt at capturing something very close to real life. you can usually find them (noa and rory, or the works, or at least one of the above) in the southside of glasgow.
