Wave Farm residents Damian Catera and Patricia Kositzky present Strategies Against Communication: NIGHT, a four episode interactive radio performance series, incorporating original composition, theatre and spoken word. The project is the latest in a twenty-year body of work utilizing chance and semiotics based compositional approaches for working with the written and spoken word. For this incarnation, the theatrical poem NIGHT, written by Patricia Kositzky with GE Schwartz will serve as source material for the experimental text processing. This four-part broadcast series includes algorithmic soundscapes, live vocals, and an interactive component where participants can call in via telephone and internet streaming.

The four broadcasts took place on: Monday August 17, 2015 at midnight; Wednesday August 19, 2015 at midnight; Friday August 21, 2015 at midnight; and Saturday August 22, 2015 at 11 a.m.
