In September 2024 the LCB creative programme focuses on all things audio
The season showcases music, sound art, radio, podcasts, and other audio made in Leicester/shire and beyond by established sound artists and audio producers, as well as emerging talent from DMU’s Music Technology course
We’re super excited to have been able to commission lead artists @shortwavecollective who have produced Edge of Transmission (borrow a radio and discover transmissions around LCB and the Cultural Quarter) and are running workshops- find out more in Events below. You can find out about all the artists involved below
Exhibitions are at LCB Depot and Phoenix and gigs across the Cultural Quarter. The season runs from Monday September 2nd to Friday September 20th . You can keep up to date via social media @lcbdepot

Mon 16th, 3pm, Open Wave-Receiver Workshop. Shortwave Collective invite you to make a very simple radio with us! Working with a basic set of materials: wire, clips, tent pegs, and chosen or found objects, we’ll become co-researchers and experimenters, attaching our radios to metal structures as makeshift antennas and searching for signals. As radio waves travel vast distances at sunset, in the evening we will be able to listen for transmissions from near and far. Limited tickets now available via https://lcbdepot.ticketleap.com/openwavereceiverworkshop/
