This is a volume of writing, poetry and artwork, edited by artist Richard Porter for Pilot Press and including work by Eley Williams, Sarah Schulman and Verity Spott.

Sofia Lemos, Curator of Public Programmes and Research at Nottingham Contemporary, recently launched a new issue of The Contemporary Journal. Her essay ‘Listening to time at sound's limit’ offers a nuanced and insightful introduction to the idea of ‘sonic continuum’.
