Above: Both performances in full of Trav—erse at Open Ear - Network, Canterbury Christ Church University, Broadstairs Campus, England on the 20/11/07 (or here on YouTube) and Open Ear Cardiff, ATRiuM, Cardiff School of Creative & Cultural Industries, Wales on the 13/06/08 (or here on YouTube).

Exploring radio waves on a world band analogue radio, the performance should be perceived as both a linear and non-linear journey progressively moving through the sonic space of broadcast wireless networks and the physical geographies and cultural spaces they both represent and permeate.

The performance traverses and returns across a radio band, a technological interface, along linear trajectories. Sounds with no correlation between their representation on this band and their ‘actual’ location will be captured, layered, reworked, transformed within new media to create a cultural and social sonic dérive where all spaces exist simultaneously.

Trav—erse has been performed twice at Open Ear - Network, Canterbury Christ Church University, Broadstairs Campus, England on the 20/11/07 and Open Ear Cardiff, ATRiuM, Cardiff School of Creative & Cultural Industries, Wales on the 13/06/08.
