TRANSMISSION ART ARCHIVE
Radio Organ
2015
Ed Bear
Bear’s experimental array of 60 microradio transmitters is a massive multichannel synthesizer with 180 voices, transmitting to any and every station across the commercial FM spectrum. The “organ” will create a large physical space, where every station on 'your FM dial' is composed. During his residency, Bear will research the conceptual and technical precedence for this new instrument and installation. He will also compose, record, and begin mixing a set of long and short form pieces for the radio organ.
