"This episode of Faded Discs will be a little bit different than previous episodes. Tonight, you’re going to hear nearly an hour of original music interspersed with interview clips from the Faded Discs archive. Inspired in-part by something my siblings and I would do as kids, where on the weekends, we’d watch cartoons on the television, mute the TV volume, and play music from the radio or our favorite CD’s. We would find pure joy in the moments where the music and image would seem to align in a way that felt like synchronicity or something supernatural. Even if things didn’t “line up” so to speak, it was a fun way to engage with familiar sights and sounds in a new and child-like way. I was also partly inspired by Eric Eberhart’s youarelistening.to project, which started in 2010. This online project allows users to generate soundscapes by mixing the sounds of airport traffic security and police scanners with ambient music from across soundcloud. It’s a wonderful project that I encourage people to check out, and was something on my mind as I worked on this alternative way of sharing Wendy Connors’ UFO radio archive. Here, I combined snippets of the old radio broadcasts she collected with my own original music. So, please enjoy what I’m currently calling Faded Discs: In-Flight Music."

Following the news at midnight, Faded Discs is a collection of radio broadcasts about the UFO phenomenon. Spanning more than 40 years and 200 hours of recordings, this show is a tribute to the work of independent researcher Wendy Connors, who originally shared these recordings on CD-ROMs from her homemade website.
