A journey through Japan’s quietly radical independent underground of the late ‘90s and early 2000s. Drawn from small-run CDs, obscure compilations, and deeply interconnected label networks, reflecting a moment where ambient, glitch, IDM, and experimental club sounds flourished into new forms — shaped by a generation of artists working across clubs, galleries, and record shops.

Antoine Bertin weaves together field recordings and sonifications of data he collects around the world.
Wandering in its own meditative way on the edge of science, technology and sound, the radio show explores where forests begin and when they end.
From listening to the DNA of plants in Japan, to the seismic data of the Stromboli volcano or the movements of rivers in Alaska, The Edge of the Forest seeks to share sensations and ideas that inform our understanding of the natural world, humans included.
