Transmission Ecologies: Episode 5 - Cameron Perry Fraser (Audio)
In this episode, Afroditi Psarra invites artist and composer Cameron Perry Fraser, who uses the techniques of RF & EMF transmission, radio frequency demodulation, and electric and magnetic field reception to produce Eliane’s Dub (referring to Eliane Radigue).
Cameron Perry Fraser is an artist and composer from Chesapeake, VA. He is a Graduate Student in University of Washington's DXARTS Doctoral Program. He received his masters from Columbia University in the Sound Arts program where he worked at the Columbia Computer Music Center as a research assistant and technician. Cameron designs unique acoustic/electric instrument hybrids and instillations. His work often employs ecoacoustic strategies, indeterminate music and feedback systems. His instruments echo the Aeolian harp, band organ, calliope and player piano. In his work microcontrollers take the place of the piano roll and solar panels replace steam players.
Curated by Afroditi Psarra, "Transmission Ecologies" explores the turbulent world of radio signals which propagate around us. Each show features a guest sound artist who broadcasts their radio experiments using EMFs, interference patterns from devices, HAM, RF field recordings, satellite signals, space astronomy research, etc. to formulate their interpretations, compositions, and translations of the invisible and unheard layer of telecommunication technologies.
