This mix is composed of three tracks. All of them arise from improvisation with electromagnetic sound. The first and longest one is part of a rehearsal with the main set consisting of 4 radio-TV, 1 TV pattern generator, 1 light sequencer, 2 calculators, 1 stroboscope and 1 plasma ball. The second one was made with the portable travel set of only 3 radio transistors, 3 light bulbs sequenced with a drum machine and 3 neons. The last track is the introduction of the first rehearsal made applying Victor Nubla's Objective Composition Method (M.C.O.) to my process. This method is based, among other things, on capturing radio signals totally blind and sampling them. Nubla's music sequences the light bulbs that interfere with the transistors and neon lights of the portable set. Another transistor picks up the radio signal that a Casio SK receives and sometimes, in the background, fragments of Victor's music appear as a sound collage.

Curated by Afroditi Psarra, "Transmission Ecologies" explores the turbulent world of radio signals which propagate around us. Each show features a guest sound artist who broadcasts their radio experiments using EMFs, interference patterns from devices, HAM, RF field recordings, satellite signals, space astronomy research, etc. to formulate their interpretations, compositions, and translations of the invisible and unheard layer of telecommunication technologies.

"Transmission Ecologies" is commissioned by Stegi Radio / Onassis Culture.

Afroditi Psarra is a multidisciplinary artist and an Associate Professor of Digital Arts and Experimental Media at the University of Washington where she runs the DXARTS Softlab. Her research focuses on the interweaving of art and science through the creation of artifacts with a critical lens. In her projects she explores energetic phenomena like electromagnetic radiation, and technologies such as radio-frequency sensing, fractal antennas, and software-defined radio. She is particularly interested in the use of the body as an interface of control, and the revitalization of tradition as a methodology of hacking existing norms about technical objects. Her art practice builds on and extends the work of Cyber and Techno-Feminism(s) and the idea of bodies as archives of information, and manifests through e-textiles and wearables, performances, installations and sound art.

She has exhibited her work internationally in venues such as Onassis Stegi, Bozar, Laboral, EMST, Ars Electronica, Transmediale and CTM, Eyeo, Amber, Piksel, and WRO Biennale between others, and published at conferences like Siggraph, ISWC (International Symposium of Wearable Computers), DIS (Designing Interactive Systems), C&C (Creativity and Cognition), and EVA (Electronic Visualization and the Arts).
