The skies are never silent.

Invisible to the naked eye, VLF, or Very Low Frequency radio waves, are the sonic equivalent to the stunning visual aurorae that illuminate the planet's poles. Caused by the interaction of solar energy with the charged part of the Earth’s atmosphere, they can only be made audible with special equipment.

This audio feature blends original recordings of VLF sounds with the voices of those who work with them, from science to sound art, King’s Cross to California.

Interview with Eliane Radigue & Keith Fullerton Whitman

Squarewhite engages in sinewave mood settings and forced voice incantations, mixed with outburst of noise backgrounds and flows of sounds. Sound is live material, born out of the moment and fades away after that. What is then left? An emotion, a thought, a feeling or just nothing? A constant change of movements living out of time.
