Produced by Bianca Biberaj, in collaboration with Wave Farm Radio Art Fellows and Artists-in-residence.

On this episode of The Radio Art Hour, we will hear a radio edit of transmitter2ears, a live performance and site specific installation by Fabian Lanzmaier and Andreas Zißler. The performance took place in Summer 2024 during Lanzmaier and Zißler's residency at Wave Farm.

transmitter2ears is a live performance/installation with two parabolic speakers, binaural microphones, radio transmission and a synthesizer. Together they form an audio-feedback loop, open to the sounds of the environment. A performer/musician equipped with binaural microphones, is interacting with the audio-field of the highly directive speakers. In the performance, Lanzmaier and Zißler and their collaborators actively blur the lines between performer, listener, musician and landscape, turning the whole ecosystem of the site into an instrument. The sounds picked up by the binaural microphones provide an audio stream from the "perspective" of the performer which were broadcasted for the radio audience on WGXC 90.7-FM and wavefarm.org/listen.
