transmissions: a classic theme in radio art. for good reasons – there are always new dimensions, including those that may seem familiar to us, to explore…

in the first part of the show, lona kozik invites us to explore transmissions in multiple ways – literally:

"'Transmissions' is a radio piece that seeks to listen to the past. It is a collage of transmissions voyaging through human broadcast history and reaching past our own galaxy. The first part, 'Imagine' that we are speeding away from the Earth, is based on the notion that everything we broadcast is still traveling from our planet out into space. As we move forward, we can hear our past. This section includes transmissions of all kinds, including Skype transmissions, mysterious numbers stations, broadcasts of rocket launches, interviews, songs, newscasts, popular songs, television themes, public service announcements, etc. The second part, 'Music of Our Spheres', uses recordings made by scientists interpreting readings from the Voyager and Cassini space probes. We hear sounds emitted by Earth (distinct whistlers shooting past and a 'hiss' that sounds like breathing), Mars (small and metallic), Jupiter, and Saturn. The very last sound in the piece is the sound of the Big Bang as interpreted by Professor J. G. Cramer of Washington State University." [L.K.]

Lona Kozik is a pianist, composer and radio maker Find out more at radiopostcards.tumblr.com and at http://lonakozik.wix.com/lona-kozik

afterwards, tetsuo kogawa's live radio performance "inductance" is being broadcasted from japan to germany, where knut aufermann catches the waves and sends feedback loops back to the radio.
