Third Transmissions
On behalf of Bureau for Listening, The Listening Biennial and The Lake Radio, we are honoured to present a special programme of international curated audio-works from The Listening Biennial 2025 to be broadcasted the 27th of October. The works are curated by Soledad García Saavedra, Alecia Neo and Suvani Suri together with artistic director Brandon LaBelle, the Biennial’s program foregrounds a concept of Third Listening – a listening together, across difference and exclusion, attentive to interdependence, relational ethics and the urgencies of planetary coexistence.
For this broadcast we frame the selected works through the lens of Third Listening: inviting you to dwell with sonic encounters, to listen–with and alongside diverse perspectives, and to hold the space for more-than-human voices and possibilities. To accompany your listening we have created a score that we invite you to explore.

Invitation to Listening Together:
Dear listener,
You are invited to listen, together and apart.
As the radio carries these works across distances, others will be listening too, in different rooms, cities, and times. Arriving at the listening with different experiences and questions. Each work has travelled through places, gatherings, and formats during The Listening Biennial, they have been affected, offering moments of meeting and exchange.
We invite you to create a setting for listening: at home, outside, in motion, or in stillness. Invite others, human or otherwise to join – or invite yourself to recognize their present in your company. Let time slow down. Let your awareness be in process.
Listening together holds complexity, care, and attention. These works are not meant to be understood as information, but as moments where sharing of sound opens space for imagination, for presence, and for something quietly shared and held.
This broadcast is done in the spirit of Third Listening, a practice of being with what we cannot fully know, a listening done together, poetically and with attempts of care and joy.
