Jeff Kolar and I are super pleased to be chosen for Experimental Sound Studio‘s Sonic Pavilion Festival at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion in Millenium Park, Chicago. Artists created work for the 24 channel speaker array in the Pritzker Pavilion, which will be presented on August 9 (1-4pm) and August 18 (5-8pm), 2025.
Our work, The Other Spectrum, draws inspiration and material from archivist Rick Prelinger‘s personal radio listening archives and our own collections of transmissions, evoking a radiophonic world of conversations between people and between devices. We tune and detune the ordinariness, the urgencies, and the intimacies of everyday radio communications, exploring the musicality and the geographies of transmission ecologies by spatializing overheard radio, such as air traffic control chatter or trains being moved, weather stations and police scanners, that reveal ways that radio is a site of labour, is implicated in systems of state command and control, and also a space of potential and connection, however fleeting.
