"Listening to the Inbetween" by Andrea-Jane Cornell is featured this week. Shortwave transmissions recorded between April 2017 and September 2020 in Punta Delgada, Azores, Louisville Kentucky, and Midcoast Maine, intermingled with synthesized tones and an occasional field recording. Scanning the shortwave radio spectrum is an exercise in tuning into the unknown, Cornell writes. Whether you are looking to find an actual broadcast signal, or listening to the pops and tones in the spaces in-between, all sounds could be signals emanating from somewhere beyond the horizon. it's an exercise in listening with intention and intensity.

Welcome to "The Radio Art Hour," a show where art is not just on the radio, but is the radio. "The Radio Art Hour" draws from the Wave Farm Broadcast Radio Art Archive, an online resource that aims to identify, coalesce, and celebrate historical and contemporary international radio artworks made by artists around the world, created specifically for terrestrial AM/FM broadcast, whether it be via commercial, public, community, or independent transmission. Come on a journey with us as radio artists explore broadcast radio space through poetic resuscitations and playful celebrations/subversions of the complex relationship between senders and receivers in this hour of radio about radio as an art form. "The Radio Art Hour" features introductions from Philip Grant and Tom Roe, and from Wave Farm Radio Art Fellows Karen Werner, Jess Speer, and Andy Stuhl. The Conet Project's recordings of numbers radio stations serve as interstitial sounds. Go to wavefarm.org for more information about "The Radio Art Hour" and Wave Farm's Radio Art Archive.
