Carrier was premiered at Fabricca Europa festival in Florence. Documentation of the installation will follow soon.

Carrier is a mechanical and auditive choreography of rotating fm radio receivers. The installation explores basic properties of communication technologies as a musical and spatial instrument. The sound installation consists of 2 rotating fm radio receivers and 4 static fm transmitters broadcasting within a limited radius of a few meters. The receivers are attached to a rotating horizontal arm that is suspended on a stand 2.5 meters from the ground. The transmitters are placed around the receivers in the four corners of the space. As the rod is turning the receivers constantly move between the electromagnetic fields created by the 4 transmitters, so that the signal they receive changes depending on which field they are in at any given moment. Each transmitter sends a different signal thus creating a constant shift in reception on the receivers. To visualize the connection between the transmitters and receivers all modules are equipped with a flickering light. The intensity of the light is controlled by the amplitude of the signal that is either being transmitted or received at that point in space. By comparing the light on a receiver to the lights on the transmitters, the relation between the different devices and the perceived sounds can be further investigated.

Plane scape in The Hague  again with my fellow colleagues Wolfgang Bittner, Lyndsey Housden and Yoko seyama!
