My inspiration was the electronic sound produced by land and underground electromagnetic fields. They are everywhere, even where people aren’t aware of them: illumination systems, transformers, surveillance cameras, high-voltage power lines, mobile telecommunication, computers, wi-fi, trams, antennas, illuminated signs, mobile navigation systems, etc. Together these create a whole range of fields that, while invisible, are absolutely real current, each with their own unique sound that can only be heard through earphones sensitive to radio-magnetic waves. In my quartet I reconstructed some of these sound, using electric fans in place of bows.
