The Interval Signal is based on the first notes of the old country hymn Turn Your Radio On. I recorded and produced it in collaboration with the wonderful musician Chris Johnson. Thanks to Saul Broudy for suggesting the tune.

This is what happened when I asked ChatGPT to write a country song about a trucker who has tea with Queen Elizabeth whilst they listen to BBC on shortwave radio. Then I got Chris Johnson, an extremely talented and savvy musician, to set it to music.

Tea With The Queen

A welcome song for rootIO sung by members of Gwoke in Patongo, Uganda

Station Song

A Track from a new project I've started, called Poppet. The lyrics will consist of ramblings on sorcery, rituals and folk magic.
A Poppet is a doll used in folk magic rituals as revenge.

Poppet - A Ritual Most Foul

Brooklyn pirate radio regular 103.1 was on the air with faint street noises for at least 30 minutes. Eventually, something metal falls on the ground, a door opens and two guys chat for awhile. Finally,  they seem to notice something's wrong. They go briefly to dead air, and come back with Soca, their regular programing.

103.1 Street Noise 5:24 pm EDT 5 - 10 - 16

The Shortwave Shindig live from the 30th annual Winter SWL Fest. This is the entire three hour broadcast comprising the traditional Shortwave Shindig Hootenanny thang paired with the two hour Short Waves/Long Distance program featuring the top 15 entries to the SW/LD open call sponsored by Wave Farm, and the North American Short Wave Association.

An epic piano metal cover of Mr Brightside by the Killers. It's probably less of a cover and more of a complete butchery.
