Dispatches from Radiotopia was recorded during a four-day radio summer camp with radio transmission artists on board the MS Stubnitz in the waters of Hamburg in 2022. These four pieces guide shortwave frequencies into a portable modular system for signal transmutation. Understanding or decoding is not the point, but rather these signals act like any other voltage in the system: one to be manipulated, one that can travel through the wires to modulate another parameter. Paired with algorithmic generation of melodies, the piece manifests a merging of generated and captured voltages from around the world. - Described by Wave Farm Radio Art Fellow 2023, Lia Kohl.
