This episode of Radio Roaming features a special radio edit of Teresa Time, by 2026 Wave Farm Artist-in-Residence Camille Wong. We'll hear recordings from Wong's performance onsite at Wave Farm on June 13, 2026, including excerpts from the audience activation of a low-power FM installation woven throughout the forested paths of Wave Farm's Art Park. 

Teresa Time explores pirate radio as a method of resistance, focusing on the unlicensed shortwave broadcasts transmitted from Taiwan into mainland China during the 80s. At the center of this conflict was the beloved Taiwanese pop singer, Teresa Teng, whose voice became the symbol of the Broadcast Wars, enticing Chinese listeners to defect to Taiwan. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) attempted to maintain strict control of the incoming media by banning, jamming, and disrupting the radio stations. Listeners in China resisted by adjusting the frequencies and recording live broadcasts onto cassette tapes.

Using micro FM-transmitters embedded throughout Wave Farm's grounds, Wong simulated the broadcasts of the Voice of Free China by transmitting “yellow” music at Wave Farm.
