Acra, NY—Wave Farm announced today the artists and projects selected for the 2021 Wave Farm Residency Program. This year the program will focus on new radio artworks intended for FM broadcast. The 2021 program received a total of 114 submitted proposals, originating from 12 countries and 25 U.S. states. Each selected artist (or collaborating artists) will live and work on-site at the Wave Farm Study Center for ten days during the residency season, which spans June through October.

In 2021, Wave Farm welcomes sTo Len (Glendale, NY); Temar France (Queens, NY); KHONSU X (Harrisburg, PA) and Titan (Gilboa, NY); Neo Gibson (Jackson Heights, NY) and Charles Stobbs (New York, NY); August Black (Boulder, CO); Kamikaze Jones (Norwalk, CT); Claire Serres (Paris, France); Sadie Woods (Chicago, IL); Ricardo Iamuuri Robinson (Pittsburgh, PA); and Quintron (New Orleans, LA).

The Wave Farm Residency Program provides artists with a valuable opportunity to concentrate on new transmission artworks and conduct research about the genre using the Wave Farm Study Center resource library. This year applicants were asked to propose a specific radio art project, which they will complete while in residence and premiere on Wave Farm's full-power FM radio station: WGXC 90.7-FM Radio for Open Ears.

Wave Farm Executive Director Galen Joseph-Hunter said, “This year we are focusing on works explicitly made for FM broadcast. During the COVID-19 pandemic we were reminded of the unique power and presence of terrestrial radio. Throughout the past year, so many listeners, new and old, expressed their deep gratitude for independent and experimental content on their FM dial via Wave Farm's WGXC-FM. In response, we are especially thrilled to support these ten artists/collaborations who approach FM radio with both creativity and a healthy sense of adventure; and, we look forward to bringing the resulting 10 new radio artworks to public audiences in New York's Upper Hudson Valley and across the globe.”

WAVE FARM RESIDENCY PROGRAM SELECTED ARTISTS AND PROJECTS
(in chronological order)

sTo Len (Glendale, NY)—Live Streaming
June 4-13, 2021
Centered around conversations with streams and rivers, sTo Len will use divining rods, fishing rods, hydrophones, contact mics, and radio transmitters to connect with the local waterways of Greene County, NY through sound rituals. Len will visit with the streams near Wave Farm during his residency and document the journey. Live Streaming will live stream on the internet in spontaneous events, and a final audio collage will be presented for FM broadcast at the culmination.

sTo Len is a genre-fluid artist with interests in printmaking, installation, sound, video and performance. The cross-disciplinary nature of Len's work often centers around collaborations with bodies of water that transform waste into art materials and the public commons into an art studio and performance space. His sound work incorporates contact mics, analog effect pedals, cassette players, samplers, solar panels, drum machines, household appliances, and the đàn bầu, a one-string Vietnamese instrument. sTo Len is based in Queens, NY with familial roots in Vietnam and Virginia, and his work incorporates these bonds by connecting issues of their history, environment, traditions and politics. Len was recently the first artist in residence at AlexRenew Wastewater Treatment facility in Alexandria, VA and is a member of Works on Water, a group of artists and activists working with and about water in the face of climate change and environmental justice concerns. stoishere.com

Temar France (Queens, NY)—The Black Garden Project
June 18 - 27, 2021
The Black Garden Project is a documentary radio play that takes music and sound texts (interviews, field recordings, recorded lectures, etc.) into a critical investigation of black queer life ecologies. The program will specifically examine the process of creating nourishing spaces for black people in institutions of higher education. Inspired by stories of activism in response to anti-black and indigenous racism on college campuses, this piece will poetically mix elements of newspaper theater with radio interference to gesture towards the ephemeral instability and impossibility of structuralizing nourishing spaces for black life in the contemporary world while exploring the simultaneous capacity of radio to enact real structural connections through vulnerable Black communities that are creating new sites for black resistance politics, black life gardens, and futures.

Temar France is an interdisciplinary artist and scholar whose research-based practice considers black feminist ecologies, queer world-making, sexuality, and healing. Their recent work focuses on radio broadcast and live performance, combining interviews, field recordings, poetry, and music to construct and amplify narratives that explore questions about black queer ecological succession, community, and rebellion. France is currently in graduate school at Brooklyn College studying performance and interactive media art. temarfrance.com

KHONSU X (Harrisburg, PA) and Titan (Gilboa, NY)—Defiant Masculinity
July 2 - 11, 2021
Defiant Masculinity is a radio theatre production born out of The Broken Bois Series–a compilation of transmissions exploring how social constructs of masculinity have been historically warped by media. Through dissonance, intermodulation, and resonance, the play follows a trans-man and his trusty radio as he traverses a sea of cultural influences. A three-hour soundscape will be developed during the Wave Farm Residency, incorporating five nights of live broadcasts and recording sessions with WGXC listeners guided by curated audio prompts. The final product should be a puzzle left unsolved, spurring the mind to continual thought and dialogue about how masculinity presents in our world today through diverse male perspectives.

Titan and Khonsu X formed the Broken Bois Collective in 2019, after months of traveling cross-country with only FM-radio for entertainment. Over pundits and disco, a white trans-kid from Schoharie County, and a Black transman from central Pennsylvania combined their creative practices, finding radio as the coagulant. Using storytelling, poetry, music, and cultural commentary, they focused their joint practice on the production of artworks that seek to revolutionize understandings of masculinity. Outside of the studio, Titan and Khonsu X can be found tending radical land projects, producing Clubhouse Radio on WGXC, and playing with their beloved pitbulls. brokenboiscollective.tumblr.com

Neo Gibson (Jackson Heights, NY) and Charles Stobbs (New York, NY)—Image Broadcast
July 16-25, 2021
Image Broadcast, focuses on FM’s material nature, the broadcast will suspend visual works in air, allowing them to interface with the sonic and visual landscape of the residency’s location. In addition to images produced on site, the broadcast will contain a number of images from various participants, whose inclusion in the broadcast is informed by research conducted during and prior to the residency. The broadcast will be made visible through the use of a real–time “waterfall” spectrogram read-out.

Neo Gibson is a musician, releasing music under the alias 7038634357. Charles Stobbs is a part-time lecturer. Together they have produced radio broadcasts and installations under their own names, and as Maitre D'. Previously they have been hosted by Veronica, the Jacob Lawrence Gallery, and Montez Press Radio. Recently, their work has prioritized the compression and translation of non-audible sensory data into sound. This sound is prized, but only as the outcome of an intentionally organized process of transmission. Their interest in FM radio lies in sharing the experience of moving through the material bubble of that transmission’s radius. waiting-all-my.life

August Black (Boulder, CO)—Radio Research
July 30 - August 9, 2021
At the heart of August Black's residency period is a prototypical web application that aims to catalyze new forms of live interactive radio for the purpose of growing communities, making speculative acoustic situations, and enabling grassroots initiatives. The software allows multiple constituents to fluidly participate in broadcast-like scenarios through their mobile devices at the flick of their thumbs. It works in a browser, requires no downloads, and is meant to be frictionless, quick, and easy. Black will host workshops on-site (covid permitting) with the software, solicit ideas and interaction from the local community, and conduct daily radio experiments outside the studio with various local and remote participants (TBD).

August Black is a hybrid practitioner of art, design, and engineering. He builds instruments in hardware and software for the sake of enabling expressive spaces of potential acoustic and interactive outcomes. august.black

Kamikaze Jones (Norwalk, CT)—Over and Out
August 13 - 22, 2021
Over and Out is an experimental radio play that mines the history of—and utilizes—CB radio to sonically investigate the underrepresented legacies of gay cruising culture in the trucker community. CB radio in the United States has historically subversive connotations: primarily as a tool to evade police detection during the 1973 oil crisis, in which a nationally mandated speed limit hindered truck drivers’ productivity and earnings. CB radios were further implemented as a means of organizing blockades to protest the speed limit and, concurrently, to discreetly facilitate sex work. The implicit risks of chance homosexual encounters on the open road (exposure, arrest, persecution) were significantly reduced by the ‘misuse’ of these devices. For this piece, in addition to the manipulation of archival and field recordings, Kamikaze will quite literally ‘cruise the airwaves’ of the Hudson Valley and incorporate the raw recordings of his encounters to explore the innately queer hauntologies and dissident materialities of CB radio. How does CB radio, an arguably outmoded tool that is nevertheless still used today, continue to inform sexual ideologies? Has the lineage of these technologies moved further away from—or closer to—a homosocial syntax? To what extent have these devices permanently sculpted the semiotics of queer consciousness? It is Kamikaze’s objective to immerse himself in these conceptual inquiries as both an active participant and a sonic medium, to receive and transmit some of the spectral mysteries that exist within these obscured correspondences.

Kamikaze Jones is an interdisciplinary artist whose work often explores extended vocal technique, queer hauntologies, and ritualized erotic transcendence. His recent practice has been focused on cultivating both sonic and sculptural sanctuary for the ghosts of public sex. He is a co-founder of The Anchoress Syndicate, a poetry and performance collective based in New York City. instagram.com/kamikazejoness

Claire Serres (Paris, France)—Serpentine waves
August 27 - September 5, 2021
Serpentine waves is a live incantation in front of microphones, combining lyrical voices, whistle, spoken words, and breathing. This poem as sensual as it is monstrous, relates the molt of the mythological snake woman, the wyvern demoness. In this performance, the voice is a vehicle between our outer and inner worlds, a crossroads to explore desire in a deep airwaves dance. A live radio performance, Serpentine waves, will be performed outside the studio, outdoors, with a public audience.

Claire Serres is an artist performer, vocalist and radio director. Most of her practice talk about transformation, gesture and improvised voice. She plays and records the lovsong series, contextuals ballads for the street, museums, and radios in Europe. Since 2020, she has composed for a choir of women. ligie.org

Sadie Woods (Chicago, IL)—The People’s Radio
September 7 - 16, 2021
The People’s Radio explores radio as a technology developed and pioneered by the U.S. military industrial complex as political warfare and public radio as a conduit for Black expressive culture and radical imagination. This broadcast is created from a variety of sources, including cultural media, ephemeral and symbolic sounds, political speeches like "Power Anywhere Where There’s People" by Fred Hampton, excerpts from Motown’s sister label Black Forum releases like "Black Spirits: Festival of New Black Poets in America," and oral histories propelled through Black music. The People’s Radio emphasizes resistance during times of social unrest in aims to recuperate and make legible repressed histories, reminding us of the political dimensions under the surface of Black life.

Sadie Woods is an award winning post-disciplinary artist, independent curator, and deejay. Woods' work focuses primarily on social movements, cultural memory, and producing collaborations within communities of difference. Woods received her BA from Columbia College and MFA from The School of the Art Institute. She is a 2020 recipient of the City of Chicago’s Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events Esteemed Artist Award, the Co-Founder and Artistic Director of The Petty Biennial, Faculty at the School of the Art Institute and Curator for Bond Creative Advisors at the August Wilson African American Cultural Center. sadiewoods.com

Ricardo Iamuuri Robinson (Pittsburgh, PA)—BLACKBODY, WHITE NOISE
September 24 - October 3, 2021
BLACKBODY, WHITE NOISE is an experimental noise radio art composition using two vacant structures and sound reproduction technology. Each structure will bear a single hole allowing sunlight to penetrate and reflect throughout the interior space. During the course of the residency records of temperature, movement and shape will be documented. The collected data will compose a sonic relationship with excerpts from Frantz Fanon’s highly acclaimed literary work, “Black Skin, White Mask.” This project sets out to suggest and translate a correlation between the life of the Sun and struggles against the age of enlightenment and environmental racism. Sounds selected will portray a common ancient narrative and a new future, solar language.

Ricardo Iamuuri Robinson is a conceptual sound artist. His works attend to patterns and forms in sound and space, using deep listening techniques and reproduction technologies for engaging sonic influences and reforming social self awareness. He calls this artistic practice “Sonarcheology.” A creative art practice merging improvisational listening with environmental archeology. By way of this method the art attempts to relisten to the interrelationships between sound and shape, sonic information and sonic place…or what he calls “the ancestry of sound.”

Quintron (New Orleans, LA)—On The 1s
October, 2021
With On The 1s, Quintron continues to explore "audio mirrors" of the external world, in real-time. On The 1s will collect traffic-data input (microphones plus online traffic data), which will then be transformed into analog synth “music” for radio broadcast throughout the day. The project will do for traffic what Weather Warlock did for the weather at Wave Farm.

Quintron has been inventing electronic gadgets and creating genre-defying noise, soundscape, and house rocking dance music in New Orleans for over 20 years, much of it in collaboration with artist / puppeteer Panacea Theriac aka "Miss Pussycat." He is a Grammy-nominated song writer with dozens of full-length albums, as well as a frequent collaborator with a wide swath of the American musical landscape, including The Oblivians, Steve Riley and the Mamou Playboys, and New Orleans RnB legend Ernie K-Doe.

In 1999, Quintron helped to foster a DIY analog synth revival with a patented instrument called the DRUM BUDDY, a light activated analog drum machine which creates murky, low-fidelity, rhythmic patterns. These experiments eventually led to Quintron's focus on a weather-controlled drone synthesizer called Weather Warlock and a website devoted to streaming its music called Weather For The Blind. weatherfortheblind.org

Radio Intensive Workshop for Grownups!

Presented in three sessions:

Sunday April 18, 3-4 p.m.
Tuesday April 20: 6-7 p.m.
Sunday April 25, 3-4 p.m.

Following the success of this workshop for youth, we are pleased to offer a version for adults.

Led by Wave Farm's 2020/2021 Radio Artist Fellow, Jess Speer, this workshop takes its focus from the 1992 radio artwork Redefining Democracy in America, Part 6: Leap of Faith by artist Jacki Apple, produced in collaboration with writer, poet, and performer Keith Antar Mason. Both were based in Los Angeles at the time, the radio work was made in the wake of the L.A. uprisings set off by the verdict in the Rodney King trial. Almost 30 years later, the piece is as relevant now as it was then. In the workshop, the group will listen to the piece closely and have a discussion about both its content, context, and form. Jacki Apple will visit the class to talk about making the piece, and answer questions. Participants will then either partner to work in small groups or work singly to create a radio art piece that responds to our experiences of history in our lifetimes, whether through music, poetry, interviews, radio play, or more abstract sound productions.

Oh so many New Radio Shows!

Your Voice Touches My String

Music performed solo with one string instrument and/or voice.

Hosted by Mayuko Fujino. (Ulster County)
1st and 3rd Wednesdays from 11 a.m. to 11:59 a.m..
Premiering February 3, 2021!

Your Voice Touches My String explores the beauty of solitude and strength that comes from quietly sitting down with oneself. The show focuses on music performed by one person playing one string instrument and/or voice: from traditional music such as Joik in Scandinavia, Sasandu in Indonesia, and Tsugaru Shamisen in Japan, to contemporary experimental voice performances. I want personal, individual, quiet voices to be heard on this show rather than collective and loud ones. In the darkest nights of life in which you stand all on your own are times to exercise introspection, which would help you flourish when the morning comes. I hope to deliver music that would be there for people in such times. https://yvtms.tumblr.com/

Vinyl Freedom

Rock, funk, punk, old school reggae, soundtracks, and more.

Hosted by DJ Paddy Boom. (Greene County)
1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month from 12:00 p.m. to 2 p.m.
Premiering February 2, 2021!

After the local news, DJ Paddy Boom spins a live show pulling from his 40+ years of collecting vinyl for a genre-shake-down of choice cuts of rock, funk, punk, junk, reggae, rare groove, soundtracks and oddities. Paddy was the original drummer in Grammy-nominated Scissor Sisters. Death By Comfort is his most current work as a drummer/songwriter/producer. Photo: Alice Teeple.

The Course Catalog

Hosted by Zack Wilks. (Columbia County)
2nd Wednesday of the month from 10 p.m. to 11:59 p.m.
Premiering February 10, 2021!

The Course Catalog is a monthly music program. Inspired by DJ Lynnée Denise, broadcasts will take shape as musical essays that are each organized around a specific theme, phenomenon, idea, or approach to sound-making. The Course Catalog is not devoted to any particular genre, decade, or tradition. Rather, broadcasts will traverse constellations of styles and experiments and mistakes in sound and music. There will be some speaking as well, occasionally with invited guests. And although the show’s intended to be pedagogical in a notional manner, it won’t be pedantic — more like a seminar with an instructor who brings wine, or a late Wednesday night (from 10 p.m. to midnight, in fact) in the living room of that one friend who has a decent hi-fi system.

Wave Farmacy
Talk show for musical engineers.

Hosted by Jen Kutler (Green County) and Tim Light. (Ulster County)
4th Tuesday of the month from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m.
Premiering February 23, 2021

Wave Farmacy is a talk show where callers bring emotional/relationship/life problems to be discussed from an engineering perspective by engineers. "Wave Farmacy" features guest engineers from different fields and is hosted by Jen Kutler and Tim Light.

Champ Sound

Hosted by Guy Weltchek. (Columbia County)
First and third Fridays 10 p.m. - midnight
Premiering February 5, 2021!

An open-format mix show focusing on the Jersey club, techno, house, and experimental genres. Original long-form DJ mixes from the host, as well as regular guest segments from contemporary dance producers and DJs. Committed to freeform style, the occasional jazz, reggae or punk record will be thrown into the mix for good measure.

Ear Candy

Hosted by Brad Monkell. (Greene County)
2nd and 4th Thursdays from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m.
Premiering February 11, 2021!

A mix of jazz, funk, and soul with some sparse commentary.

All Things Cage

Hosted by Laura Kuhn, Executive Director of the John Cage Trust. (Dutchess County)
Saturdays from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m.; Mondays from 4 a.m. to 5 a.m.
Premiered January 2, 2021

All Things Cage is a weekly program featuring conversations between Laura Kuhn, Director of the John Cage Trust, and Cage experts and enthusiasts from around the world. If you’d like to propose a guest or a topic for a future program, write directly to Laura at lkuhn@johncage.org. She’d love to hear from you.

The late Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer Kenneth Silverman once described his Begin Again: A Biography of John Cage (Knopf, 2012) as the hardest book he’d ever written. This was because, as he put it, pick up any rock and there’s John Cage! Indeed, Cage was not only a world-renowned composer, numbering among his compositions the still notoriously tacet 4’33”, but a ground-breaking poet, a philosopher, a chess master who studied with Marcel Duchamp, a macrobiotic chef, a devotee of Zen Buddhism, a prolific visual artist, and an avid and pioneering mycologist. He was also life partner to the celebrated American choreographer, Merce Cunningham, for nearly half a century, and thus well known in the world of modern dance.

No wonder, then, that nearly everyone who encounters the man or his life’s work has something interesting to say about John Cage!

The Radio Art Hour

Produced by Wave Farm Radio Artist Fellows and Artistic Director Tom Roe. (Greene County)
Saturdays from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m.; 2nd Monday of the month from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m.; 5th Monday of the month from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m.; 2nd Friday of the month from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Premiered January 23, 2021

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 and Jess Speer. 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.

Homeschool Radio Intensive Workshop
February 15-20, 2020

Free, Ages 14 and up.

Led by Wave Farm 2020/2021 Radio Art Fellow, Jess Speer, this workshop will take its focus from the 1992 radio artwork Redefining Democracy in America, Part 6: Leap of Faith by artist Jacki Apple, produced in collaboration with writer, poet, and performer Keith Antar Mason. Both were based in Los Angeles at the time, the radio work was made in the wake of the L.A. uprisings set off by the verdict in the Rodney King trial. Apple, a white woman raised in Manhattan, and Mason, a Black man raised in St. Louis, had a conversation about growing up on opposite sides of the American racial divide in the mid-20th century and placing the current events of that time in a larger historical and personal context. Almost 30 years later, the piece is as relevant now as it was then.

In the workshop, the group will listen to the piece closely and have a discussion about both its content, context, and form. Jacki Apple will visit the class to talk about making the piece, and answer questions. Participants will then either partner to work in small groups or work singly to create a radio art piece that responds to our experiences of history in our lifetimes, whether through music, poetry, interviews, radio play, or more abstract sound productions.

The Details

No previous audio experience is necessary.
Participants will need to have access to the internet for streaming and Zoom meetings, and a digital recording device (a phone, tablet, or laptop will work). Access to simple cloud-based audio production software will be available, but participants are welcome to use tools they are familiar with as well.
Participants should expect to spend a minimum of 30 minutes meeting together with Speer and/or the full class each day, and to spend time each day outside of that either listening to or making radio work.

Anticipated Schedule

Zoom meeting will start at 4 or 4:30 p.m. and will be kept short and sweet.

Monday 2/15: Ice breaking & Introductions day. Background on the piece. Intro to Soundtrap (production software).
Tuesday 2/16: Listening to Leap of Faith together (optional). Homework (not optional): Listen again on your own at least once (twice if you skip the class listening session), with headphones, possibly while taking a walk or doing something with your hands like drawing.

Wave Farm's 2021 Residency Program
Applications Due Soon!
Monday, February 1, 2021 11:50 p.m.

In 2021, the Wave Farm Residency Program will provide artists with a valuable opportunity to concentrate on new radio artworks and conduct research about the genre using the Wave Farm Study Center resource library. Applicants are asked to propose a specific radio art project, which they will complete while in residence and premiere on Wave Farm's full-power FM radio station: WGXC 90.7-FM Radio for Open Ears.

Radio artists explore broadcast radio space through a richly polyphonous mix of practices, including poetic resuscitations of conventional radio drama, documentary, interview and news formats; found and field sound compositions reframed by broadcast; performative inhabitations/embodiments of radio’s inherent qualities, such as entropy, anonymity and interference; playful celebrations/subversions of the complex relationship between senders and receivers, and the potential feedback loops between hosts and layers of audience, from in-studio to listeners at home to callers-in; use of radio space to bridge widely dispersed voices (be they living or dead), subjects, environments and communities, or to migrate through them in ways that would not be possible in real time and space; electroacoustic compositions with sounds primarily derived from gathering, generating and remixing radiophonic sources.

Artist Fee

Wave Farm Artists-in-residence receive a $700 artist fee.

Eligibility

What do we mean by "radio art"? This is a call for projects that conceptually and formally use radio as an artistic medium. The act of transmission and reception over terrestrial AM/FM airwaves is intentional and integral to the work. Proposals who use radio broadcast in service to another genre, or simply as a means for distribution will not be competitive.

Wave Farm's Residency Program application is an international open call. Artists should make a compelling argument in support of their proposed project, and either possess a significant body of past radio-based work, or demonstrate the technical aptitude and capacity to complete the project. Full-time students are ineligible; however, exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis for career artists who may have returned to school for post-graduate work.

COVID-19 Note

Should physical distancing remain in place during the 2021 residency season, please note that Wave Farm accommodations can easily be designated as a private space for the artist-in-residence. All interactions with staff will take place outdoors and with face masks.

Learn More + Apply!

We are hoping that 2021 will eventually be a time for all sorts of celebration. Among them...

WGXC turns 10 this year!!

We'll be announcing a full calendar of special events soon, in the meantime..

Love Letters, if you please?

In advance of Valentine's Day (which is aligned with WGXC's 10th Anniversary), we are asking you to send a love letter to WGXC, whether it take the shape of text, audio, video, image.

WGXC is turning 10!! We'll be announcing a full calendar of special events soon, but now... Love Letters, if you please.

Wave Farm joins Rethinking Residencies and the Radio Preservation Task Force at the Library of Congress.

We are delighted to announce that Wave Farm has been invited to join these two wonderful groups in 2021, and look forward to upcoming announcements detailing projects and events emerging from these exciting collaborations.

The Radio Preservation Task Force (RPTF), created early in 2014, grows out of the Library of Congress National Recording Preservation Plan (December 2012, see: www.loc.gov/programs/national-recording-preservation-board/), and seeks to: support collaboration between faculty researchers and archivists toward the preservation of radio history; develop an online inventory of extant American radio archival collections, focusing on recorded sound holdings, including research aids; identify and save endangered collections; develop pedagogical guides for utilizing radio and sound archives; and act as a clearing house to encourage and expand academic study on the cultural history of radio through the location of grants, the creation of research caucuses, and development of metadata on extant materials.

Rethinking Residencies is a working group of New York-based artist residency programs. Initiated in March 2014, its members share knowledge and resources, while cultivating critical thinking and discourse about residencies. Collaborating organizations represent a wide range of models, scales and approaches and include: Eyebeam, Fire Island Artist Residency, Flux Factory, International Studio & Curatorial Program (ISCP), Lower Manhattan Cultural Council (LMCC), Queens Museum, Pioneer Works, Recess, Shandaken Projects, EFA Project Space’s SHIFT Residency, Triangle, Wave Farm, and Wave Hill.

New Wave Farm Audio Stream:
Here GOES Radiotelescope
by Heidi Neilson and Harry Dove-Robinson.

Listen in anytime to an audio imagining of space weather data collected in real-time from the NOAA satellite GOES-16.

The sound heard onsite at Here GOES Radiotelescope, and in the streaming audio from Wave Farm’s website, is a ‘sonification’ created from space weather data collected in real time by Here GOES Radiotelescope. It is an audio imagining of the soundscape of solar wind hitting and flowing around Earth, as if it were a field recording of the interaction of energies. The sound changes throughout the day as the spacecraft passes between the sunward and leeward sides of the Earth’s protective magnetosphere.

When seated within Here GOES Radiotelescope (Read more at heregoesradio.com), visitors see the live view of Earth through the satellite's eyes and hear the environment that the satellite is sensing in real time.

The sonification is made from four different space-weather-detecting instruments aboard GOES-16, the data from each contributing voices to the soundscape:

Extreme Ultraviolet and X-ray Irradiance Sensors [EXIS]: Average X-ray irradiance (XRS-A bandpass)

High-pitched chorus in repetitive pattern
Magnetometer [MAG]: Total ambient Earth geomagnetic field (in Attitude Control Reference Frame (ACRF))

Medium-pitched fast-warbling tone
Space Environment In-Situ Suite [SEISS]: Energetic Heavy Ions Sensor (EHIS differential hydrogen ion flux)

Very low-pitched reverberant drone
Space Environment In-Situ Suite [SEISS]: Magnetospheric Particle Sensor – High Energy Range (MPS-HI differential electron flux on electron telescope 3)

Medium-pitched ambient wavering chorus
Space Environment In-Situ Suite [SEISS]: Magnetospheric Particle Sensor – High Energy Range (MPS-HI differential proton flux on proton telescope 3)

Solid slightly wavering electronic tone

New Shows on WGXC: Radio for Open Ears!

All Things Cage

Hosted by Laura Kuhn, Executive Director of the John Cage Trust.
Saturday evenings at 7 p.m. on WGXC 90.7-FM and wavefarm.org/listen

All Things Cage is a weekly program featuring conversations between Laura Kuhn, Director of the John Cage Trust, and Cage experts and enthusiasts from around the world. If you’d like to propose a guest or a topic for a future program, write directly to Laura at lkuhn@johncage.org. She’d love to hear from you.

The late Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer Kenneth Silverman once described his Begin Again: A Biography of John Cage (Knopf, 2012) as the hardest book he’d ever written. This was because, as he put it, pick up any rock and there’s John Cage! Indeed, Cage was not only a world-renowned composer, numbering among his compositions the still notoriously tacet 4’33”, but a ground-breaking poet, a philosopher, a chess master who studied with Marcel Duchamp, a macrobiotic chef, a devotee of Zen Buddhism, a prolific visual artist, and an avid and pioneering mycologist. He was also life partner to the celebrated American choreographer, Merce Cunningham, for nearly half a century, and thus well known in the world of modern dance.

No wonder, then, that nearly everyone who encounters the man or his life’s work has something interesting to say about John Cage!

Hour 3 (9 a.m.): Steve Bates
Hour 4 (10 a.m.): Wave Farm presents: Jen Kutler, Sadie Woods

Southern Comfort by Jen Kutler with Quintan Ana Wikswo
Southern Comfort is a radio sound piece by Jen Kutler featuring text and performance by Quintan Ana Wikswo. The title Southern Comfort surrounds the queer US/Mexico border experience in its complexity of solidarity and joy in the face of bigotry, violence, hate crimes, and the AIDS crisis. Kutler and Wikswo's works invoke a rich, evolving and intergenerational legacy of obscured drag, ballroom, trans, mixed-race and gender queer fissures of deep southern and southwest American Culture through which the whiskey culture forms a through line of recreation and transgression. These rituals transcend the simple imbibing of alcohol.

The sounds are synthetic voices generated from physiological sensor devices worn on Kutler's body to document her response to the emotive narrative. These voices draw from granular synthesis, sine waves, cassette tape loops and stringed instruments.

Spirit Safe by Sadie Woods.
In this radio work, sound artist Sadie Woods takes inspiration from the Scott whiskey term spirit safe, an enclosed control center where the strength and temperature of the spirit is analyzed by distillers without having direct physical access to it. Spirit Safe builds on the experience and instincts involved in the spirit analyzing process exploring impulses, intuition, and receptivity in interpersonal relationships through mixing and blending ethereal sound and electronic music.

Hour 5 (11 a.m.): Wave Farm presents: Agustina Woodgate, Jeff Kolar

Segunda Persona by Agustina Woodgate with Florencia Curci.
A multilingual remix amongst friends. A fabulous and loving speculation about the second person. Where are the words coming from? ¿Cuál es el oldest tú? What if they come from you?
“The spanish Tú sounds like a spit”
“In French, Le Toi also means the roof, the You has this connotation of being something that protects you. You, the entity that gives you shelter, that helps you find solace”
“Nderehe is the guarani for tú. Nderehe are not always humans”
The many ways of saying You explore the many yous possible.

- I care about you. - You will always be vos.

Wave Farm's 2021 Residency Program
Application Open!
Applications Due February 1, 2020

In 2021, the Wave Farm Residency Program will provide artists with a valuable opportunity to concentrate on new radio artworks and conduct research about the genre using the Wave Farm Study Center resource library. Applicants are asked to propose a specific radio art project, which they will complete while in residence and premiere on Wave Farm's full-power FM radio station: WGXC 90.7-FM Radio for Open Ears.

Radio artists explore broadcast radio space through a richly polyphonous mix of practices, including poetic resuscitations of conventional radio drama, documentary, interview and news formats; found and field sound compositions reframed by broadcast; performative inhabitations/embodiments of radio’s inherent qualities, such as entropy, anonymity and interference; playful celebrations/subversions of the complex relationship between senders and receivers, and the potential feedback loops between hosts and layers of audience, from in-studio to listeners at home to callers-in; use of radio space to bridge widely dispersed voices (be they living or dead), subjects, environments and communities, or to migrate through them in ways that would not be possible in real time and space; electroacoustic compositions with sounds primarily derived from gathering, generating and remixing radiophonic sources.

Artist Fee

Wave Farm Artists-in-residence receive a $700 artist fee.

Eligibility

What do we mean by "radio art"? This is a call for projects that conceptually and formally use radio as an artistic medium. The act of transmission and reception over terrestrial AM/FM airwaves is intentional and integral to the work. Proposals who use radio broadcast in service to another genre, or simply as a means for distribution will not be competitive.

Wave Farm's Residency Program application is an international open call. Artists should make a compelling argument in support of their proposed project, and either possess a significant body of past radio-based work, or demonstrate the technical aptitude and capacity to complete the project. Full-time students are ineligible; however, exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis for career artists who may have returned to school for post-graduate work.

COVID-19 Note

Should physical distancing remain in place during the 2021 residency season, please note that Wave Farm accommodations can easily be designated as a private space for the artist-in-residence. All interactions with staff will take place outdoors and with face masks.

Learn More + Apply!

Not just on Giving Tuesday, but all-year and especially as 2020 draws to a close.

Wave Farm's WGXC needs your financial support. In these extraordinary and unprecedented times we know there are many worthy organizations in need. We hope that you consider Wave Farm among them.

Please make a tax-deductible contribution, if you are able.

Wave Farm remains tirelessly committed to making the airwaves a participatory medium. A pioneer of the Transmission Arts genre, Wave Farm programs provide access to transmission technologies and support artists and organizations that engage with media as an art form.

These activities are made possible, in part, from state and federal art grants, foundation support, earned income derived from studio rentals and special curatorial/consulting engagements, and from private, tax-deductible, support from individuals like you.

Listeners, attendees, and collaborators support provides a critical piece to keeping Wave Farm programs afloat, and we are grateful to the many individuals who have shown their generosity past, present, and future.

Your charitable contributions make a world of difference, now more than ever!

If you value WGXC, and want to keep it a part of your daily life, we ask that you make a tax-deductible contribution to keep local and adventurous content freely available on the Upper Hudson Valley radio dial. Thank you so much for keeping independent voices and sounds on your radio dial.

Durational broadcasts: Ragas Live Festival + You-. Plus 2021 Residency Program News! p{...

Durational broadcasts: Ragas Live Festival + You-. Plus 2021 Residency Program News!

View this email in your browser

As we prepare to say goodbye to 2020, Wave Farm is pleased to co-present two durational broadcasts: Ragas Live Festival, November 21-22; and You-, December 12, 2020.

Looking ahead to brighter things in 2021, save the application deadline of February 1, 2021 for Wave Farm's Residency Program. In 2021 the program will focus on proposals for radio art projects designed specifically for FM broadcast.

Wave Farm is pleased to serve as a broadcast partner for the 2020 edition of Ragas Live Festival, a 24-hour broadcast featuring over 60 musicians performing in locations around the globe.

The festival was born in 2012, a 24 hour/24 set live radio broadcast on New York City’s WKCR 89.9 FM featuring over 50 musicians. Roughly meaning “color the mind,” raga are musical modes or essences from the Indian classical music tradition. Each raga has its own range of emotions associated with a specific time of day. The music harmonizes holistically with the subtle changes in light and with the various emotions associated with times such as sunset, high noon or midnight. The original concept was to beam out 24 hours of raga which largely conformed to this cycle, but also reflected the innovations occurring within the music today. These innovations have led to what is now has been recognized as a “Raga Renaissance,” and the festival grew to become a popular live event at Brooklyn's Pioneer Works.

In 2020 Ragas Live Festival will expand to include performances from all around the world including Terry Riley (Himitsu, Japan); Zakir Hussain (San Francisco, CA, USA); Toumani Diabate (Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire); Betsayda Machado y Parranda El Clavo (El Clavo, Venezuela); Brooklyn Raga Massive: IN D (Manhattan, NYC, USA); 3G: feat. VIkku Vinayakram & Selvaganesh (Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India); Toko Telo (Morondava, Madagascar); Andy Statman (Manhattan, NYC, USA); Womanly Voices (of Jodhpur RIFF) (Jodhpur, Rajasthan, Inda); Alam Khan (Kentfield, CA, USA); Derek Gripper (Capetown, South Africa); Krishna Mohan Bhatt (Brooklyn, NYC, USA); Raga Maqam: Amir ElSaffar with Brooklyn Raga Massive; Mysore and Karthik Nagaraj (Mysore, Karnataka, India); AACM Percussion Ensemble directed by Swapan Chaudhuri (San Raphael, CA, USA); Dhun Dhora (featuring the Dhol Drummers of Rajasthan) (Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India); Parvathy Baul (Kamardanga, West Bengal, India); Jay Gandhi (Manhattan, NYC, USA); Arun Ramamurthy (Manhattan, NYC, USA); Roopa Mahadevan (Brooklyn, NYC, USA); Prince Nepali (Kathmandu, Nepal); Flute Shashank (Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India); Anantha Krishnan (Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India); Charumathi Raghuram (Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India); Abhik Mukherjee (Brooklyn, NYC, USA); Samarth Nagarkar (Brooklyn, NYC, USA); and Ask Hafiz (Manhattan, NYC, USA.)

WGXC 90.7-FM: Radio for Open Ears

Thursday, October 15, 8 - 10 p.m.
Live from Musical Ecologies: Johann Diedrick

Musical Ecologies returns to the airwaves Thursday, October 15 for a live radio event featuring artist, engineer, and musician Johann Diedrick. The event will be broadcast live from the Old Stone House in Park Slope, Brooklyn on Wave Farm’s WGXC 90.7-FM Radio for Open Ears in New York’s Upper Hudson Valley, and online at wavefarm.org/listen and on the Wave Farm Radio App (iOS). Due to COVID-19 there will be no in-person audience attendance.

Based in Brooklyn, New York, Diedrick creates installations, performances and sculptures that explore the intersection of technology, listening and the environment. He will present recent projects and recordings including his most recent work in development titled Prelude to Wake, a ~20 minute, urgent, mournful, and world-building sonic performance that centers the loss of ourselves and environments due to climate change. The program will begin with a conversation hosted by series curator Dan Joseph.

Now it its extended seventh season, Musical Ecologies is a monthly symposium on music and sound held at the Old Stone House in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Curated and hosted by composer Dan Joseph, each event typically focuses on a single artist who presents a work or project either in the form of a talk or lecture, a multimedia presentation, a performance, or combination thereof. Each presentation is preceded by an extended conversation between the artist and curator.

About the artist:

Johann Diedrick makes installations, performances, and sculptural objects that let you explore the world through your ears. He surfaces vibratory histories of past interactions inscribed in material and embedded in space, peeling back sonic layers to reveal hidden memories and untold stories. He shares his tools and techniques through listening tours, workshops, and open-source hardware/software. He is currently a 2020 Technology Artist-In-Residence at Pioneer Works and a recipient of a 2020 Brooklyn Arts Fund grant from the Brooklyn Arts Council. His work has been featured in Wire Magazine, Musicworks Magazine, and presented at MoMA PS1 (in collaboration with Jonathan González), Somerset House (London, UK), Social Kitchen (Kyoto, Japan), Common Ground (Berlin, Germany), Recess (Brooklyn, NY), Knockdown Center (Queens, NY), and Pioneer Works (Brooklyn, NY).

Saturday, October 17, 8 - 10 p.m.
Live from Roulette Intermedium: Matthew Shipp

Live from Roulette Intermedium. Continuing to hone a singular cosmic musical language, Matthew Shipp began celebrating his landmark 60th year on earth with the creation of a new solo piano recording—The Piano Equation—which is also the inaugural release on the brand new Tao Forms label, released on May 1, 2020. The ongoing celebration of this momentous year continues with his solo performance on this evening at Roulette, and broadcast live on Wave Farm Radio WGXC 90.7-FM.

Over more than half of his lifespan, Matthew Shipp has built up an unparalleled body of work and a wholly original musical language that only becomes more hyper-focused and distinctive with the passage of time. Shipp’s abstract eloquence is on vivid display when he is alone at the piano, brilliantly solving his higher-order musical mathematics, approaching each new unknown from unexpected vantage points as in some form of cubist algebra. Shipp builds his solo music in a cellular fashion, formed, like the building blocks of human life, out of disparate elements that combine and evolve in novel and fascinating forms. “There are billions of different human beings on the planet, all constituted with the same genetic material but all completely different,” he says. “All of these pieces can be generated with a different mother/father idea and the basic cellular material can unfold in billions of ways.”

Classical, stride, swing and the avant-garde collide like so many elemental particles, the aftereffects radiating outward in increasingly complex and intricate formations. The scientific, the personal, the political and the fantastic co-exist throughout Shipp’s work, melding in a radical vocabulary which speaks with its own alien yet familiar logic. Fragments of melody coalesce and transform, dissolve or shatter into kaleidoscopic reveries. While some may have used the arrival of such a landmark occasion as their 60th birthday to look backwards, Shipp will spend the year continuing to move resolutely forward, further evolving a voice that is as intimately personal as it is cosmically adventurous.

Matthew Shipp: The Piano Equation was originally scheduled for June 13, 2020, but was postponed and rescheduled due to COVID-19. Roulette’s Fall season will be presented virtually and available for free on a variety of streaming platforms.

With his unique and recognizable style, pianist Matthew Shipp worked and recorded vigorously from the late ’80s onward, creating music in which free jazz and modern classical intertwined. He first became well known in the early ’90s as the pianist in the David S. Ware Quartet, and soon began leading his own dates – most often including Ware bandmate and leading bassist William Parker – and recording a number of duets with a variety of musicians, from the legendary Roscoe Mitchell to violinist Mat Maneri, the latter another musician who began making a name for himself in the ’90s. Through his range of live and recorded performances and unswerving individual development, Shipp has come to be regarded as a prolific and respected voice in creative music into the new millennium.

Among other shows, having Weather Warlock on is both calming and focusing. Loved the story on how COVID is affecting college radio (my other listening addiction). - Bob, Rhinecliff, NY

WGXC has been an indispensable resource during this time and I want to applaud your devotion to the community. - Justin, Freehold, NY.

Today's Joy Channel was one of my favorite radio listening experiences ever." and then "Driving around empty streets alone in the rain in the middle of our current apocalypse. Half sci-fi half survivalist -- just really great." - Thatcher, Columbia County.

I'm listening to WGXC now and then here in my online radio and feel the strength you send out with your programme, connecting and organizing solidarity in your region in this difficult times. - Helen, Halle, Germany

Thanks for the note, and happy to support! Hope to be able to support more in the future. My wife and I just moved to the area and I love the diversity of your station. - Chris, Germantown, NY

Homeschool Radio Intensive Workshop
for Teens!

Artist, teacher, and Wave Farm Fellow Jess Speer will lead this free homeschool intensive over the course of two weeks fall 2020. Working both in a large group and in smaller teams, participants will produce a radio project of collective choosing. Participants will have the opportunity to create poetry, sound art, or radio dramas, conduct research and interviews, produce audio in many formats, experiment with form and sound, and get weird, go deep, and listen deeply. The emphasis will be on process and experience rather than a “perfect” final product.

Interested in joining? Contact info@wavefarm.org. The workshop schedule will be designed to best accommodate the schedule of all interested participants.

Transmit Partners on WGXC 90.7-FM

During 2020, as many venues have been forced to pivot to remote audiences, Transmit Partners use Wave Farm's streaming server to transmit live performance and events, which are often accompanied by radio broadcasts on WGXC 90.7-FM. Upcoming examples include:

C. Lavender's The Impulse Chamber
Sep 16, 2020: 2 p.m.
WGXC 90.7-FM + wavefarm.org/listen

Wave Farm is pleased to present a radio broadcast of this live performance, which took place at Fridman Gallery in New York City on July 14 as part of their SO⅃OS: a space of limit as possibility series. Headphone listening is recommended.

C. Lavender presents a new site-specific work: “The Impulse Chamber,” that will utilize Fridman Gallery as an unique reverberation room. “The Impulse Chamber” features rapidly moving recordings of tuning forks with percussion and brass instruments made in the anechoic chamber at Bell Labs in Holmdel, New Jersey less than two weeks before the pandemic was declared in the U.S. The nature of the recordings being made in an anechoic chamber and then played out into a reverent space, naturally modifies these recordings into how they sound only within the confines of Fridman Gallery.

Bell Labs, where the recordings were made, was also at the forefront of research and technological innovation for telepresence; a current pervading part of our world that we have learned to adapt to quickly to sustain communication through the pandemic.

This presentation of “The Impulse Chamber” will also feature the debut of the film “Reflections: Azul” created by C. Lavender in May 2020 playing throughout the duration of the performance.

The Impulse Chamber  was developed with assistance from the Harvestworks Technology Immersion Program. More information at clavender.net and lavenderhealer.com.

Live from Musical Ecologies: Alex Waterman
Sep 17, 2020: 8 p.m.
WGXC 90.7-FM + wavefarm.org/listen

Produced by Dan Joseph.

Musical Ecologies returns Thursday, September 17th for a live radio event featuring composer, performer, producer, and scholar Alex Waterman. The event will be broadcast live from the Old Stone House in Park Slope, Brooklyn on Wave Farm’s WGXC 90.7-FM Radio for Open Ears in New York’s Upper Hudson Valley. Due to Covid-19 there will be no in-person audience attendance. This event was originally scheduled for March 12th but was postponed due to the pandemic.

Working in a variety of contexts and media, including sound installations, television operas and film and video works, Waterman is perhaps best known as a cellist and performer. For tonight’s program, he will present an evening of new solo works titled Towards a Typology of Realities We Coincide With(in) for cello, electronics, and mixed media, as well as a selection of new stories and songs. The evening will begin with a conversation hosted by series curator Dan Joseph.

Now in its seventh season, Musical Ecologies is a monthly symposium on music and sound held at the Old Stone House in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Curated and hosted by composer Dan Joseph, each event typically focuses on a single artist who presents a work or project either in the form of a talk or lecture, a multimedia presentation, a performance, or combination thereof. Each presentation is preceded by an extended conversation between the artist and curator.

About the artist: Alex Waterman is a composer, performer, producer, and scholar, exploring how social bodies can live and interact with one another in more musical ways. He has created a diverse body of works including sound installations, television operas, film and video works, exhibitions, amateur choral works, radio and film scores, and solo performances as a cellist, electronic musician and storyteller. His installation works, films and music productions have been exhibited throughout the US and Europe including at the ICA London,The Kitchen, the Swiss Institute,The Rotterdam Film Festival, the St. Louis Museum, and the Whitney Museum and many others. In a collaboration with Robert Ashley for the 2014 Whitney Biennial, he built a television studio and installation space inside the Whitney Museum and produced three operas by Ashley. In November 2017 he presented his first solo opera at the Donaueschingen Musiktage in Germany. Waterman has recorded over thirty records in multiple genres, as a performer, arranger, and producer, including many contemporary classical and avant-garde albums, grammy-nominated jazz albums, and rock records. Waterman has taught at Bard College (MFA program), NYU, Bloomfield College, and the Banff Centre for the Arts. He was a Visiting Assistant Professor of Music at Wesleyan University from 2015-18 and currently teaches at Ramapo College of New Jersey.

Updates From The Pond

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to seize the world economy, some anthropogenic sounds have dramatically receded, revealing the sonic artifacts of more-than-human ecologies that go un-noticed in “normal” times. Research projects like Silent Cities are gathering data to quantify these ecoacoustic changes, and field-recordists have been uploading constantly to the Soundscapes in the Pandemic project on the Radio Aporee sound map.

Here at Wave Farm, live streaming projects like Soundcamp's TSAC1 (Test Site of Acoustic Commons 1) and Pond Station mark these changes in real time. Pond Station is a floating platform that has been broadcasting the underwater sounds of Wave Farm's pond since 2015, giving voice to the lifecycles of many hidden invertebrates, plants, and the occasional beaver. The station itself has endured many cycles of freezing, thawing, breaking, fixing, and breaking again. This Spring we discovered that water had infiltrated the electronics, rendering it mute just in time for the increased activity of summer.

Over the summer I took advantage of the pause in Wave Farm's programming to self-isolate with Pond Station and perform some long-overdue maintenance: I cleaned and repaired the floating chassis, installed a new electronics enclosure (with a leak sensor this time!), replaced the flooded dynamic-range compressor with a new design, moved the light sensor to a better position, and made the telemetry system more reliable (to track the long-term health of the station). Under the water I installed new hydrophones and upgraded the aluminum tripods that anchor them to the bottom.

As I type this on a late summer day in Brooklyn, Pond Station is sounding better than ever, broadcasting an interspecies dialog that I've come to find as fascinating as any human composition. Helping the station endure the weather is my small gesture toward helping us all endure our entanglement with the viral ecology that surrounds us.
