Tune (In)))s are sound events designed for a virtually silent environment in which listeners experience multiple live performances in individual radio headsets as opposed to amplified sound within a performance space. Audience members encounter other signals on the FM dial as they navigate among the Tune(In))) frequencies thus considering the radio spectrum as a venue in and of itself.

1. 31 Down, "Tune(In))) The Kitchen Information for 1610-AM" Instructions for attendees of Tune(In))) The Kitchen played in the lobby and before the event.
2. Radio Guitar: Peggy Ahwesh + Barbara Ess, "Thrum (Kitchen Mix)"
3. Ben Owen, "04.22.04 live second set" Recording from radio within The Kitchen. Edited 07.12.05.
