Broadcast in collaboration with Resonance Extra in London and Wave Farm's WGXC 90.7-FM in New York's Upper Hudson Valley, You- is a 12-hour online event organized by Christof Migone. First in a series of twelve annual events taking place on December 12 from noon to midnight GMT (7 a.m. - 7 p.m. Eastern). Each year the event will move through each word of the 12-word phrase you and I are weather earth fire air of life and death and activate the word of the year in myriad ways.

This year it all starts with you-.

Wave Farm was invited to organize two hours of programming with you- as the sole prompt. Writes Migone, "The result could be a mix of live and recorded (or entirely one or the other)... An open structure welcoming coherent incoherence (or incoherent coherence.) A radio-but-not-really-radio event where you and you and you share the same nonplace."

About Wave Farm Hour One: Jen Kutler, Sadie Woods

Southern Comfort by Jen Kutler with Quintan Ana Wikswo
Southern Comfort is a radio sound piece by Jen Kutler featuring text and performance by Quintan Ana Wikswo. The title Southern Comfort surrounds the queer US/Mexico border experience in its complexity of solidarity and joy in the face of bigotry, violence, hate crimes and the AIDS crisis. Kutler and Wikswo's works invoke a rich, evolving and intergenerational legacy of obscured drag, ballroom, trans, mixed-race and gender queer fissures of deep southern and southwest American Culture through which the whiskey culture forms a through line of recreation and transgression. These rituals transcend the simple imbibing of alcohol.

The sounds are synthetic voices generated from physiological sensor devices worn on Kutler's body to document her response to the emotive narrative. These voices draw from granular synthesis, sine waves, cassette tape loops and stringed instruments.

Jen Kutler is a multidisciplinary artist and performer. She modifies found objects that are cultural signifiers of power, gender, queerness and intimacy to create atypical instruments and sculptures. Her performances feature many of her instruments incorporated with immersive field recordings to explore common and discrepant experiences of familiar social tones in immersive sound and media environments. www.jenkutler.com

Hailed as “heady, euphoric, singular, surprising” by Publisher’s Weekly, “beautiful, horrifying, passionate, and bold,” by Jeff VanderMeer in The Millions, “Rilke’s lost female shadow,” by Conjunctions, and “universal and personal, comforting and jarring, ethereal and earthy,” by Electric Literature, Quintan Ana Wikswo has long been active in the collusion and collision of transdisciplinary art and direct human rights fieldwork. Quintan is recognized for innovative hybrid constellations of work that integrate her fiction, nonfiction, memoir, poetry and essay with her original photography, performance, audio, film and video installation. These projects interrupt sites and trajectories of human rights infractions, hate crime organizing, and global and local networks of the far right. www.quintanwikswo.com

About Wave Farm Hour Two: Agustina Woodgate, Jeff Kolar

Segunda Persona by Agustina Woodgate with Florencia Curci.
A multilingual remix amongst friends. A fabulous and loving speculation about the second person. Where are the words coming from? ¿Cuál es el oldest tú? What if they come from you?
“The spanish Tú sounds like a spit”
“In French, Le Toi also means the roof, the You has this connotation of being something that protects you. You, the entity that gives you shelter, that helps you find solace”
“Nderehe is the guarani for tú. Nderehe are not always humans”
The many ways of saying You explore the many yous possible.

- I care about you. - You will always be vos.
