Radiophonic Travel Agency
The Radiophonic Travel Agency uses sound to enable listeners to explore the whole recorded world from the comfort of their home. To travel the world, all you need is a set of speakers or a pair of headphones. Bells in a Sri Lankan temple, pigeons in Milan’s Piazza del Duomo, the Atlantic Ocean spraying over the rocks of a Cornish beach. Sound has the power to immerse, surround and transport us. Freed from guidebooks and narration and, with only your imagination as companion, listen to the world in joyous new ways.
Kenneth Murray is a writer and campaigner, originally from Easterhouse in Glasgow, who writes for film, TV and theatre.

Ella Kay is a composer, sound artist and saxophonist based in Manchester. She is influenced by the intricacies of humanity and life, and her work aims to interpret these often complicated areas through the realms of experimental sound. She is the recipient of the 2022 Oram Award.
