Retrospective Case Studies Detailed documentation of past site-specific transmissions. We analyze the technical setups and environmental impacts of our remote broadcasts.
Archiving site-specific broadcasts presents a unique friction. You are trying to capture an event that was fundamentally designed to disappear into the landscape. The recordings held here do not replace the physical experience of standing in an isolated forest listening to a localized FM transmission. Instead, they serve as a secondary artifact. They document the intersection of unheard audio and the environmental interference that shaped its final delivery.
Navigating these past transmissions requires patience. Metadata is often intentionally sparse, leaving the focus entirely on the sonic material and the geographic context of its original broadcast. Treat these archives not as a conventional music library, but as a collection of atmospheric echoes. The static, the signal drift, and the environmental bleed are not flaws to be corrected—they are the physical signature of the broadcast location itself.
