TRANSMISSION ART ARCHIVE
Tune(In))) CD (AD011)
Tune(In))) (AD011) Cover.
Audio Dispatch 11 is a compilation of live performances from from Sybarite, Carlos Giffoni, Matt Valentine + Erika Elder, 100% Storms Ensemble, 31 Down, Skyline, Transmaniacon MC and Michelle Nagai during free103point9's Tune(In))). On March 1, 2003, over 60 performers played into six transmitters during free103point9's sixth anniversary benefit Tune(In))) at the New York Center for the Media Arts.
There was no sound in the space. Performers performed into transmitters. Attendees received a radio with headphones, to access the performances. They also received a "schedule" listing what performances were on which frequencies throughout the evening. Attendees then chose to listen to those frequencies, other commercial frequencies available, or the minimal ambient room noise.

Originally written as a piece for solo clarinet and harmonic pedal by Jennifer Morrison, "Radio Suite" is reimagined here as a pair of interchangeable quartets.
