Podcasts surveying the history of sound collage since the begining. The program mentions three types of sound collages. Sequential sound collage that uses an editing technique that is not dissimilar to film editing technique which later developed to Electroacoustic and Acousmatic music. (most Musique Concréte, cut ups, Negativland, Cassetteboy etc) Sound collage that augments a particular rhythm, musical and narrative theme (some hip hop, bastard pop, 2manyDJs, dancefloor mash ups, most music that has elements of sound collage) Simultaneous sound collage which superimposes layers of different musical sources over each other. The last category is the one this podcast focuses on for the latter half of the 20th Century until today. Warning:: PART ONE is a bit more of a difficult listen due to the experimental and conceptual nature of the sound collages in the early days."

"What does it sound like to look for a lost loved one? This art installation doesn't look away from the horror and pain of that reality. At University Museum Contemporary Art in Mexico City last year, multiple speakers wrapped visitors in a sonic collage, recorded from a group of civilians, made up of mostly women, who search the desert for "clandestine graves" of missing loved ones."
