Greetings from the wire bender here at radio on Berlin march 2026
This months show features the work of Michael Hodgson aka Misled Convoy and half of Pitch Black
Black Mountain Transmissions is an audio series by Misled Convoy: long-form atmospheric dubs crafted live in surround sound and then refined into stereo.
This the fourth edition, The Beings, is a multi-generational collaboration with ambient artist Ludus, first performed live at the final Splore Festival, held in Tapakananga National Park, Aotearoa in February 2026. Michael Hodgson (Misled Convoy) and Emma Bernard (Ludus), performed an hour long live 4-way audio-visual show that traversed different themes and tempos, with the audio swooping around an audience lying on bean bags and mattresses while visuals were projected on to the ceiling. The quadrophonic recording data was then refined in the studio to create a stereo composition for ultimate listening pleasure.
The Beings grows organically and dramatically, engaging the listener in a constant floating motion, with atmospheres changing almost as soon as they’re settled. Nothing lasts: melodies emerge and evaporate, notes chime and cascade, rhythms build and breakdown, basslines drop and disappear. Ludus’s keyboard flourishes bring character and body to Mike’s more abstract soundscapes, colouring in the edges and elevating the mood.
