Issue 86 (Magazine)
Audion 86 arrives as a concentrated blast of deep listening culture, a 44-page A4 issue that treats the margins of rock, jazz and experimental sound as its natural centre. First published on 6 February 2025 in simultaneous printed and pdf editions, the magazine continues Audion’s long-running refusal to follow fashion, pursuing instead what its editors call “explorations in sound and music” - the points where history gets strange, regional scenes bloom in isolation, and aesthetics mutate far fro…

Issue 72 (Magazine)
Audion 73 is where Audion Magazine’s global circuitry really starts to glow. First published on 3 March 2023 as a 48‑page A4 pdf, the issue threads book criticism, deep historical reappraisal and present‑tense scene reports into one restless survey. It opens, fittingly, on the printed word with “A Fistful of Spaghetti” - an extended book‑review section that uses recent titles on Italian cinema, music and counterculture as a prism, talking through how giallo soundtracks, spaghetti western scores …
Issue 71 (Magazine)
Audion 71 catches Audion Magazine in full cartographic mode, tracing how progressive, psychedelic and experimental tendencies have leaked across borders, labels and generations. The issue opens with a feature on Acid Rooster, cast here as “new space-trekkers from Germany”, picking up the kosmische thread with extended jams that feel closer to orbital slingshots than retro homage. The piece listens closely to their long-form structures, guitar textures and rhythmic drift, showing how they tap int…
Issue 70 (Magazine)
Audion 70 catches Audion Magazine in full investigative mode, tracing unlikely connections between avant-garde improvisers, 1970s label culture and the latest mutations of progressive rock. At its core is a substantial feature on AMM / AMMMusic, treating the ensemble not as a distant academic reference but as a living fault-line in post‑war sound. The article unpacks how AMM’s radical non-idiomatic improvisation, tape abuse and volume-as-material approach rewired the language of collective playi…
Issue 69 (Magazine)
Audion 69 opens on a sustained chord of Italo-symphonic grandeur and slowly fans out across Europe’s most fertile borderlands, using a handful of key case studies to prise open the archive. At its centre is an extended feature on Banco del Mutuo Soccorso, here framed unapologetically as “the Italian masters of classical rock” during their 1970s peak. The article doesn’t simply rehearse the usual praise quotes: it walks album by album through the original run, unpicking how Banco welded conservat…
