Introduction Darren Copeland (NAISA) & Neil Sandell (CBC Radio's Outfront)
Deep Wireless commissioned artists Christian Nicolay, Micheline Roi, Damiano Petropraolo and Debashis Sinha
This spring, the CBC Radio 1 program Outfront and New Adventures in Sound Art (with residencies at Charles Street Video) collaborated and co-produced the fourth Deep Wireless commissioning/residency programme.

Introduction Darren Copeland (NAISA) & Neil Sandell (CBC Radio's Outfront)
Deep Wireless commissioned artists Christian Nicolay, Micheline Roi, Damiano Petropraolo and Debashis Sinha
This spring, the CBC Radio 1 program Outfront and New Adventures in Sound Art (with residencies at Charles Street Video) collaborated and co-produced the fourth Deep Wireless commissioning/residency programme.

Wireless Imagination
with Tetsuo Kogawa & Kathy Kennedy
Showing the history of the Mini FM movements in Japan in the 80s, Tetsuo Kogawa will demonstrate how it anticipated the end of the dichotomy of "sender" and "receiver" and will argue a new relationship of art with technology. Radio art and Wireless art will be re-defined.

In addition, he will discuss why even the radio we like is bad radio. Expect forays into the history of mysticism and the theories of Gilles Deleuze.
Deep Wireless Panel
Introduction Darren Copeland (NAISA) & Neil Sandell (CBC Radio's Outfront)
Deep Wireless commissioned artists Christian Nicolay, Micheline Roi, Damiano Petropraolo and Debashis Sinha
This spring, the CBC Radio 1 program Outfront and New Adventures in Sound Art (with residencies at Charles Street Video) collaborated and co-produced the fourth Deep Wireless commissioning/residency programme. Four artists were chosen to produce radiophonic artworks for broadcast on Outfront, and in performance as part of the Deep Wireless Festival. During this session, the participating artists will play excerpts from their commissioned pieces and talk about what they discovered about creating works that will work on the radio and in live performance.
Wireless Imagination
with Tetsuo Kogawa & Kathy Kennedy
Showing the history of the Mini FM movements in Japan in the 80s, Tetsuo Kogawa will demonstrate how it anticipated the end of the dichotomy of "sender" and "receiver" and will argue a new relationship of art with technology. Radio art and Wireless art will be re-defined.
Kathy Kennedy will discuss her performance pieces that use low watt radio transmission. These specifically involve site-specific performances, using the radio receiver as a device for displacing and recontextualizing the original audio source.
Radio of the Future
moderated by Magz Hall with Neil Sandell, Charlotte Scott and Tetsuo Kogawa co-presented by the British Council
This panel will discuss questions such as how new technologies play a role in new approaches to form and content; will access to the radio of the future be limited to those with a computer; who will be the creators and who the receivers of the radio of the future?

Microradio Sound Walk: Hallwalls
341 Delaware Avenue | Buffalo, NY 14202

Microradio Sound Walk is a experimental media art event and walking tour of Buffalo’s airwaves utilizing transmission tools to create a soundscape that responds to both the architecture and sonic phenomena of the space surrounding Hallwalls.
Microradio Sound Walk consists of three transmission stations–“Local Frequencies,” “Environmental Nature,” and “Social Spaces” –situated along a loosely defined route inside the new Hallwalls space at the former Asbury Delaware Church and branching out throughout the immediate neighborhood. Participants who encounter radios or are lent radios with headphones proceed through the route in the order of their choosing, as they move farther away from one station and grow closer to the next, the signal they receive too will shift. This sonic progression maps the spatial qualities of the airwaves and provides a tangible example of their ubiquitousness.
Three artists, 31 Down, Matt Bua, and Radio Ruido, are placed roughly equidistant from one and other. Each will microcast his signal on the same FM frequency. As visitors take the Microradio Sound Walk the three signals fade in and out depending on the listeners’ movement.
View a QuickTime excerpt of the event
Local Frequencies – 31 Down
31 Down's station will be focused on the local airwaves themselves. Using radios, wireless microphones, cell phones, walkie-talkies and scanners as well as locating Bluetooth and WIFI signals, this "Local Frequency" station will feature works that make use of the local airwaves by sampling and 'playing' them back.
Formed in 2001 by Ryan Holsopple, 31 Down is a radio-transmission based theater company from Brooklyn, New York. The vision of the company lies in the hybridization of modern technologies with older technologies, systems, established genres, and forms. The theater company uses radio transmissions, wireless devices, and home security technology to expand and contract traditional theatrical spaces.
Recent projects include: wwwSomnambulator as part of Surge, an online transmission exhibition presented by Rhizome and free103point9; Wanderlost as part of Airborne, presented by free103point9 and The New Museum for Contemporary Art, Spring, 2005.
www.31down.org
Environmental Nature – Matt Bua
In Environmental Nature, Matt Bua will use contact microphones to wire the Hallwalls environment. Some microphones will be easily spotted while others will be concealed. The signals activated by the audience will produce one element of this sound walk montage.
Matt Bua makes drawings, films, videos, installations, and performance art pieces. Bua’s “Suitcase Orchestra” is a self-contained, partly/fully automated sound creator, which uses precariously prepared instruments, animal talk, electronics, and motors. His frequent collaborations with Jesse Bercowetz take form in large-scale fantastical, sometimes aggressive, spaces that redefine and re-imagine found objects as functional elements in architecture.
Bua has shown work internationally at exhibition and public spaces including: the University Museum at Albany, New York; Grizedale Arts, Cumbria, England; Art Omi, New York; Cambridge Art Council Gallery,
Massachusetts; and Feigen Contemporary, Masiimo Audiello, Brooklyn Museum, Gavin Brown’s Enterprise, Derek Eller Gallery, Governor's Island, and Jessica Murray Projects in New York City.
www.overcoat.org
Social Spaces – Radio Ruido
Performed by Radio Ruido, the third and final FM station concentrates on Social Spaces in order to highlight the discursive properties of radio. This will include site-specific works that explore a phenomenological approach to the 'sound walk,' or work which focus on physicality of the performance area, local histories, idiosyncratic voices, audience interaction/play, and storytelling.
Radio Ruido encompasses radio projects initiated by artist Tom Mulligan. Working both solo and in collaboration, these projects entail both composed installations as well as various improvised live sound situations. Often site-specific in content, they seek to challenge conventional concepts of radio as well as exploring and challenging the physicality of the performance space.
He is currently hosting Triangulation, a weekly Online Radio show Tuesdays live from the free103point9 Project Space in Brooklyn, New York. The ongoing focus has been presenting a live forum for experimental sound cultures.
Radio Ruido has performed live with the audio-visual collective Dimmer and designed sound for Teatro Chinampa. He has recently exhibited at Deitch Projects, White Box, and Participant, Inc., in New York; at the
Contemporary Museum in Baltimore; and the Center for Contemporary Art Ujadowski Castle in Warsaw, Poland.
www.free103point9.org/artist.php?artistID=4
Microradio Sound Walk premiered in 2004 with free103point9 transmission artists Damian Catera, Matt Mikas, Michelle Nagai and Tom Roe. It was presented in conjunction with Spectropolis: Mobile Media, Art and the City, a three-day event in New York City that highlighted the diverse ways artists, technical innovators and activists are using communication technologies to generate urban experiences and public voice. In May 2005, free103point9 presented its second Microradio Sound Walk at the Center for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle in Warsaw, Poland.

Founded three piece improv band "Madhar" in 1987.
Besides this, has been members of many other units
like "Mongoose", "Bject", "Nijiumu" "Amephone",
"Hikyo String Quartet" and recently "Satanic Abandoned
Rock'n'Roll Society".
After releasing the first solo album "Relator"(slub music, 2001),
in which used an acoustic guitar with a mixture feeling of country blues
and free improv, plays solo more than ever in styles
of both acoustic and electric guitars, turntable without records,
etc. Using a prepared resonator guitar with a Samurai sword,
released the second solo "Resophonie"(a bruit secret, 2002)
which can be described as sonic sculpture only by the guitar.
In 2003, third solo "Don't Forget to Boogie!" (idea records)
was released. Tribute to the instrument, playing in minimal one chord
Boogie/Rock/Blues guitar style with a vintage electric guitar tone.
In the same year, made a collaboration work with a Japanese
young painter, Yoko Naito, contributing tape-delayed electric
guitar music for her wood block paintings.

Naval Cassidy & the Hands of Orlak
impeachment of the oversight quilt
If Chaluala Bankhead ever existed, she would not have had anything to do
with Naval Cassidy and the Hands of Orlak. They make Instant Cinema right
before your very eyes, with cameras, electronics, video clips, and lots of
props. This special program is a collision of damaged human collateral
and broken, forgotten artifacts of today's age gone tomorrow.
Uncle Woody Sullender
Under the not-so-clever moniker of "Uncle Woody Sullender", Woody Sullender
performs improvised banjo music, playing with and against the cultural baggage
of the instrument. While alluding to the "traditional" musics of his home
states of Virginia and North Carolina, he explores a diverse plane of plucked
string music from around the world as well as incorporating punk, noise, free
jazz, etc.

Tetuzi Akiyama
Born in 1964 in Tokyo. Started playing guitar when
13 years old. After some influences from Folk, Rock
and Blues, started playing Improvisation in 1981.
Founded three piece improv band "Madhar" in 1987.
Besides this, has been members of many other units
like "Mongoose", "Bject", "Nijiumu" "Amephone",
"Hikyo String Quartet" and recently "Satanic Abandoned
Rock'n'Roll Society".
After releasing the first solo album "Relator"(slub music, 2001),
in which used an acoustic guitar with a mixture feeling of country blues
and free improv, plays solo more than ever in styles
of both acoustic and electric guitars, turntable without records,
etc. Using a prepared resonator guitar with a Samurai sword,
released the second solo "Resophonie"(a bruit secret, 2002)
which can be described as sonic sculpture only by the guitar.
In 2003, third solo "Don't Forget to Boogie!" (idea records)
was released. Tribute to the instrument, playing in minimal one chord
Boogie/Rock/Blues guitar style with a vintage electric guitar tone.
In the same year, made a collaboration work with a Japanese
young painter, Yoko Naito, contributing tape-delayed electric
guitar music for her wood block paintings.
A document live album from 2005, "Route 13 to the Gates of Hell: Live in
Tokyo"
(headz) was selected in the 50 albums of the year by the Wire magazine.
Recently, started releasing "official bootleg series" from labels like
Esquilo (Portugal)and Utech Records (Milwaukee).
Beside these, has played and recorded with many musicians in and outside of
Japan and has released a lot of albums. Recently touring around U.S.A.,

Naval Cassidy & the Hands of Orlak
impeachment of the oversight quilt
If Chaluala Bankhead ever existed, she would not have had anything to do
with Naval Cassidy and the Hands of Orlak. They make Instant Cinema right
before your very eyes, with cameras, electronics, video clips, and lots of
props. This special program is a collision of damaged human collateral
and broken, forgotten artifacts of today's age gone tomorrow.
Uncle Woody Sullender
Under the not-so-clever moniker of "Uncle Woody Sullender", Woody Sullender
performs improvised banjo music, playing with and against the cultural baggage
of the instrument. While alluding to the "traditional" musics of his home
states of Virginia and North Carolina, he explores a diverse plane of plucked
string music from around the world as well as incorporating punk, noise, free
jazz, etc.
