about

Out of a happenstance recording I made while in a guesthouse room in my first week in Bangkok (at the beginning of a 6 month journey through Southeast Asia in 2008), I found the inspiration to practice a kind of methodology for recording.

This included a hand held short wave radio and digital recorder I had brought with.

I would hold the radio and begin recording, scroll through channels, and move the radio closer and farther from the recorder, also picking up sounds from the spaces around.

These hand held portable shortwave radio were recorded during May-October in 2008 on location in Java/ Bali/ Lombok (Indonesia), Myanmar (Burma), Thailand, and Japan.

Also, occasionally included, are a few others;
direct recordings of fascinating radio transmissions picked up through the radio, a television, and, a kind of hanging mobile instrument I made with bits of coral tied together using fishing line.

All effects (delay/phasing) are the product of radio frequency anomalies.

When recording in a living space I imagined using the radio as a kind of sound-maker or musical instrument to create sounds which integrated with those in the environment. I envisioned myself as a connector between the sounds unseen and broadcast and those which occured around.

And now, these are combined, performed live in place, assembled into a single composition, and delivered to your space.
