DESCRIPTION:UK sound artist Simon Whetham performs in Cork for the first ti
	me\, presenting\nhis unique work for obsolete electronics and shortwave ra
	dios. Cork composer and\nimproviser Phil Maguire will play an improvised s
	et of modular synthesis.\n\n\n\nSimon Whetham - “Channelling Shortwave”\n\
	nThis latest iteration of Whetham's Channelling project is a descendant of
	\n“Channelling Airwaves”\, a work commissioned by Deustchlandfunk Kultur a
	nd\nCashmere Radio in early 2025.\n\nThis new version features shortwave r
	adio transmissions that were recorded at\nGMEA Albi\, France in November 2
	025. Because of the nature of shortwave\, Whetham\ncaptured broadcasts fro
	m around the globe\, but also the artifacts heard between\nthe stations: w
	hite noise static\, strange tones and whistles\, and overlapping\nsignals 
	that are non-existent in digital broadcasts and streaming. The\nrecordings
	 are piped through a new collection of mechanical devices sourced from\nva
	rious obsolete media and storage devices\, these being a hard disc drive\,
	 a\nfloppy disc drive\, a turntable\, a minicassette recorder and a CD-ROM
	. The\namplified radio broadcasts play through the motors of the devices\,
	 resonating\nand activating them in erratic ways. These actions are then f
	urther amplified\nusing contact microphones\, EMF pickup coils and a small
	 handheld radio.
