Andrea-Jane Cornell's InonoutonInoutonin (une ritournelle) is a performed comprovisation inspired by John Cage's use of the broadcast studio as a tool for generating compositional materials. The compositions' theme, attained through a toss of the I-Ching is zhèn, which is translated as "shake" / "thunder". Sonic shock waves emitted by thunder-claps decay over great expanses of time and space, and are shaped by refraction off the elements in the environment. This resonates with this projects' approach to signal processing wherein radio transmission is received and re-transmitted, creating a looping effect that expands the color and texture of the signal as it regenerates and undergoes a drawn out decay. The signal passes through each mode of transmission at staggered time intervals creating an intermediating radio matrix that transforms the broadcast studio and outlying areas into an extended instrument system.
