Album Notes & Community Reviews

A fascinating auditory experiment by the acclaimed Canadian visual artist and musician, utilizing the radio itself as a performative instrument. Capturing spontaneous manipulations of the dial, the album delves heavily into concepts of indeterminacy and free improvisation. The resulting soundscape is an entirely unpredictable, avant-garde exploration of broadcast frequencies and static.
