Respire will be active at Audible Gallery until August 7.
Respire is an intimate experience of radio transmission, featuring a multi-channel array of suspended radio receivers and micro-watt transmitters. Sounds of breathing and other bodily exclamations typically absent from regular radio programming seep up through the welter of signals, as the receivers play and emit their own oscillating frequencies. This milieu of harmonic interference and uneasy nighttime respirations reveals the invisible contours of the radio landscape that surrounds us. Other sounds are created from instruments that echo human breath (harmonica) or the detuned radio landscape (theremin).
Respire has been shown internationally at RadiaLX 2008, Lisbon, Portugal; Sound Thinking Surrey, Canada (2009); CCRMA, Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA (2009); and Scotiabank Nuit Blanche, Toronto, Canada (2009).
Audible Gallery will be open from 1pm-5pm Saturdays and Sundays, or by appointment.
