und im anschluss mit einer landpartie durch verschiedene interferenzen.

[english]

travelling the spectrum. first with david haines who is floating with us through antipodean fields in new zealand:

"This piece was recorded in Dunedin New Zealand and in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales, Australia. I thought I would climb Mt Analogue with this piece, instead I found a deep and dark sandstone gorge. This is where I live, not far from the Wollemi, which for the local indigenous people translates as 'look out country'. Electro-acoustic and electromagnetic undulations tear open the firmament to reveal a thin sliver of the multiple scales of an infernal roar." [D.H.]

the piece is in parts a collaboration with joyce hinterding.

afterwards, we'll continue the travel with mobile radio aka sarah washington and knut aufermann by passing through multiple interferences:

"An intrinsic feature of radio broadcast is on the verge of extinction: interference. Artists have always loved interference. Early memories convey intoxicated sweeps of an old valve radio dial, simultaneous capture of two shortwave stations, the swashing sounds of the in-between as a prerequisite for sleep. The new interference is reduced to metallic distress at the breaking point of digital transmission; the new silence of buffering and disconnect presents a wholly characterless absence. What happens now? Will people forget what a rotary dial is? Will the radio band become an endangered species?
Whilst digital audio technology tries to emulate the analogue sound wave as closely as possible, digital transmission renders the radio spectrum inaccessible. The bits in-between are reallocated or discarded. The noise that changes when you touch the aerial is out of reach. Maybe the caller on the Harmon E. Phraisyar show Album One is correct when she says: 'You and your stupid radio programmes, I'm fed up. Tell me this you stupid radio worms: radio interference, often it is that I am getting the interference. Why is it that the interference is always more interesting than the programme itself?' Endangered Radio Band is a performance by Mobile Radio, voyaging the vocal and electromagnetic spectra in search of an answer to this question." [S.W./K.A.]
