"Curated by Wave Farm: Climactic Climate" is a five-part series of new radio artworks on the theme of weather radio premiering on Kunstradio, and also airing on Wave Farm's WGXC-FM in 2015.

The commissioned broadcasts represent a broad spectrum of reflection on transmission in relation to natural environmental conditions. Participating artists harness weather as instrumentation in performance, celebrate the act of environmental observation as compositional score, or imagine and interpret the scientific impact radio transmission has on weather patterns and vice versa.

"Climactic Climate" features works by five international contemporary artists, each of whom approach and interpret conditions of natural radio distinctly.

Participating artists include Quintron (New Orleans, US); Mark Vernon (Glasgow, UK); Pauline Oliveros (New York, US); Anna Ialeggio (Los Angeles, US); and Zach Poff (New York, US).

Based in New York State, Wave Farm is a non-profit arts organization that celebrates creative and community use of media and the airwaves. Wave Farm programs support artists who engage the transmission spectrum, on the airwaves and through public events and include the Wave Farm Artist Residency Program, and international visiting artist program; and the Transmission Arts Archive, a living genealogy of artists' experiments with broadcast media and the airwaves. Wave Farm's WGXC-FM is a creative community radio station that commits over 60 hours a week to transmission art and experimental sound.

The Wave Farm Residency Program is pleased to welcome Damian Catera and Patricia Kositzky (Jersey City, NJ), who will be working on Strategies Against Communication: NIGHT, a four episode interactive radio performance series, incorporating original composition, theatre and spoken word. The project is the latest in a twenty-year body of work utilizing chance and semiotics based compositional approaches for working with the written and spoken word. For this incarnation, the theatrical poem NIGHT, written by Patricia Kositzky with GE Schwartz will serve as source material for the experimental text processing. During the residency there will be four late night broadcasts consisting of algorithmic soundscapes, live vocals and an interactive component where participants can call in via telephone and internet streaming.

ABOUT THE BANDS:

Once the isolationist bedroom-psych project of Matt Lajoie, the intervening years have found Portland Maine's Herbcraft (Woodsist) sprawling out in many different full-band incarnations. Psychedelic, mantric, free-rock music for the mind and body, featuring freewheeling first-take intensity anchored by the unhinged electric guitar work from Lajoie.

Hailing from Vermont, MV & EE (Ecstatic Peace, Three Lobed, etc.) is the ever-expanding and contracting neo-psych lo-fi collective always anchored by Matt Valentine and partner Erika Elder. Since 2000, the duo has released dozens of recordings, ranging from full-on Crazy Horse-infused wailing, to ephemeral soundscapes threatening to dislodge from their earthly tethers. Pitchfork sums it up well: "a Deep South-meets-the-Subcontinent fantasia."

Pigeons' dissonant-yet-pastoral psych-pop makes use of Wednesday Knudsen's seemingly conflicting strengths: her airy, 60s French pop-inflected vocals, and her tenacious shredding on guitar. Buoyed by Clark Griffin on bass and Rob Smith (also of Rhyton), Pigeons can turn on a dime from gauzy Future Games-era Fleetwood Mac to a riffing psychedelic shredfest.

Inhabiting the space between the minimalist avant garde and psych-folk, P.G. Six (Amish Records, Drag City) has assumed a number of configuration over his long career. First surfacing as a member of Memphis Luxure, the band that would become Tower Recordings (along with Matt Valentine), Gubler's output fuses an unlikely range of influences including 60s British folk, country rock, & experimental music.

Rhyton (Thrill Jockey) is a group of experienced sonic voyagers, comprised of David Shuford (a.k.a. D. Charles Speer), Jimy SeiTang (Stygian Stride), and Rob Smith (Pigeons). Their hallucinatory grooves rework ancient forms, instrumentation and scales of Middle Eastern and Greek traditions, and incorporate them into the context of scorching improvised rock.
