Will Krauland writes "During my residence in Chicago, I lived across the street from the Chicago Fire Department for two years. I still remember the first time the sirens pierced my windows, redirecting my attention away from the computer screen and toward my neighbors. As time progressed, the sirens began to drone out of my domestic experience. I began to fill my living space with objects that absorbed both the sound and my attention. We were, then, simultaneously present in the same space, but not aware of each other. Two years later, the last thing I removed from that apartment was an old sofa. My friends were going to meet me and take it to their new apartment, which was located down the street from where I was moving. As I waited for them to arrive, a siren once again abruptly entered my attention and slowly faded into the distance, and I reached back into the memory of that first day.

Location concurrently explores the relationships between a sound and its environment, and a sound and the objects located within an environment. Utilizing pink noise as a medium, Location seeks to blur the lines between specific transmitted sounds, coincidental existing sounds, and objects present in a listening environment. This work will be broadcasted twice. The first broadcast of Location will be transmitted forthright, but the later broadcast of the work will be transmitted in reverse—simulating a departure and return. This gesture is thus intended to send the listener off and then welcome them upon their return, creating a loop. Though the sounds transmitted do not change, except for their direction, the things around it do, over time.
