Radio Resonance FM

Resonance FM is a London arts radio station devoted to creative uses of sound, music and speech. Founded in 2002, it is a project of the registered charity London Musicians' Collective. Volunteer engineers and programme-makers contribute to a schedule in which experimental music, discussion and performance can all have room beyond a conventional entertainment format.

Debbie Golt's The Outerglobe connects African music with arts and cultural discussion. Frank Malachi's Rogue Planets brings together ideas, interviews and field recordings. Clear Spot provides space for one-off creative broadcasts, allowing projects outside a conventional recurring show to reach the air.

The station describes more than 105 creative broadcast series each week, involving local and international artists, makers and specialists. Contributors retain substantial editorial freedom within broadcasting requirements. This approach helps explain why a sequence of music can be followed by experimental speech, a sound work or an extended discussion rather than a standardised presenter-and-playlist format.

Resonance broadcasts on 104.4 FM in central London and on DAB across Greater London, with online listening extending its reach. Listener donations and support from organisations including Arts Council England and The Wire contribute to its work. Collaborations with Radiophrenia and Radia place it within a wider network of radio art. The service's purpose is to give creative voices access to broadcasting, including first-time programme-makers as well as experienced artists. Its identity rests on that open artistic brief and the individual programmes it enables, rather than on a fixed music genre.
