It starts broadcasting from May 1st at 5pm. Expect the unexpected from what New York's Village Voice calls the "Best Radio station in the world".

Programmes made by artists who represent the diversity of London's arts scene, including Savage Pencil, Gavin Turk, Matthew Glammore, Caroline Kraabel - and of course HUNDREDS of musicians from London and beyond, doing what they want to do. Resonance promises to bring a multitude of experimental sound, new music, radio art and interaction to the airwaves.

On air between 5pm and 1am daily, and noon till 1am at weekends, Resonance 104.4 FM is the only station of its kind in the UK providing access radio for the London arts community. "Imagine a radio station like no other. A radio station that makes public those artworks that have no place in traditional broadcasting. A radio station that is an archive of the new, the undiscovered, the forgotten, the impossible. That is an invisible gallery, a virtual arts centre whose location is at once local, global and timeless. And that is itself a work of art. Imagine a radio station that responds rapidly to new initiatives, has time to draw breath and reflect. A laboratory for experimentation, that by virtue of its uniqueness brings into being a new audience of listeners and creators. All this and more, Resonance FM aims to make London's airwaves available to the widest possible range of practitioners of contemporary art." --Ed Baxter, project co-ordinator Announcing the Resonance 104.4 FM Launch Party.
