Brilliant track - love the concept, the history it touches on, and the atmosphere created.

Revelatory piece. I'm here for all of this, the structure, commitment to form, and the story telling. Excellent start to end. Spirit Radios 4EVR!

Oh oh oh, I love that deep click. Instant love.

The static within and around the voice makes this particularly haunting.

It has to be magic... An overhwhelming track.

Disquiet Junto prompt 0683 instructed us to make a piece of music that is half in space and half not in space.

Radio waves travel at the speed of light, and when the first radio transmission crossed the Atlantic it was said that distance had been abolished. Without distance, there's no space. So half of the song is a story that takes place on a radio, and is about a radio, and was performed in part on a radio, removed from place and space.

There are no synthesizers or synthetic samples in this piece. Instrumentation was a heavily processed guitar played with ebow, a Schechter Damien 7-string guitar, shortwave radio, shoebox cassette recorder, and field recordings. The radio noises and vocal parts are removed from space through a custom convolution reverb I created using a spike of low-frequency AM noise as an impulse response, essentially placing the sounds in the ionosphere.

The story I tell in the song is true.

Soft, Driven, Slow, and Mad (disquiet0683)

I create original experimental, postpunk, and experiential music from my studio in Chicago. The Hard Times described my work as "creepy, haunted, but also a little bit uplifting." Prolific.
