Name: the many & true approaches by Jeff Gburek
Duration: 8 min 50 s
Description: Created in the field on January 14th using bespoke VLF radio receivers, Tecsun multiband radio & Hack4M keyed with Cubic SDR software which adds a special range of articulation in bandwidth. Sources are radio waves, so there's instability, unpredictability into the mix, keeps the improvisation on the go. The ensemble en suite.

.beautiful work Jeff... I enjoyed a kind of a singing voice of the radio waves..

In the half-light between dreaming and waking, our world reveals its true nature: a perpetual threshold where nothing fully is, yet everything is becoming. Airport terminals at 3 AM hold their breath in fluorescent stillness, neither departure nor arrival, while empty parking garages echo with the ghostly memories of footsteps that might have been. We live in the spaces between definitive moments—the pause before the conductor's baton falls, the instant between clicking "send" and delivery, the sunset hour when day hasn't quite surrendered to night. These liminal spaces are reality's waiting rooms, where time feels both stretched and compressed, where identity becomes fluid as mercury, and where the familiar world dissolves into something stranger and more sublime. Here, in these threshold spaces, we are all travelers passing through doors that lead to doors that lead to doors, never quite arriving, never fully departed, suspended in the infinite moment between what was and what will be.

The piano used on this piece was a supposed haunted object, rescued from a cruise ship that had been left to float away.

The Liminal

Stay put | Resta fermo is an excerpt from my book 'Beginnings & Other Tragedies', which is included in the theatre work "Surviving You, Always' 2025 performed at LAC Lugano and SUDPOL Luzern by Swiss Collettivo Treppenwitz.

Field recording taken by IB in the Rhine w/jrz hydrophone in Basel in 2023 during the research phase.

'If I live with you
N latitudes and longitudes
simultaneous instants
before and after
my vertebral consumption
in between
we will rest.
Wherever you are
whenever you happen to be
stay put.

Se vivo con te
N latitudini e longitudini
istanti simultanei
prima e dopo il consumarsi
delle mie vertebre
in questo intervallo di mezzo
riposeremo.
Ovunque tu sia
in qualunque attimo ti trovi
resta fermo.'

Be Part Of Your Own Machine

feel a lot is a diary of moments, written on a journey and translated into sound. The shape lives from memories, new realities, movements, places, the present and the space which connects them all. An ode to a life in hyper sensitivity and a big ocean. The analog source for all tracks comes from an Irmler piano.
