Sound artist Frenchbloke, curates 24 hours of previously unheard music donated exclusively for The Dark Outside FM 2017 by musicians and producers from all over the world. The site-specific radio transmission will be of specially composed work, forgotten recordings and alternate versions of existing work, none of which have been heard in public before. These sound works will be on air for the duration of the broadcast, then deleted. They may never be heard again.

Tune into 87.7 FM. Listen in your car, or on a portable radio. Visit The Dark Outside FM broadcast HQ at the top of Murray’s Monument for a friendly chat, a comfy sofa and a fantastic view, then sit back, relax and hear the transmission at The Dark Star Lounge deep in the Forest.

The Dark Outside FM radio broadcast can only be heard by travelling to the site with a radio, there is no streaming or recording and all files are deleted after being played.

The Dark Outside FM is exploring a new way of working in a remote area with digital contributions from artists from all over the world. In 2015, 193 artists worldwide contributed new digital works to The Dark Outside FM   Click through for contributing artists 2015
