Rifles & Garbage Podcast Premiere

Black Poplar 86.3 MHz by Dann Disciglio is included on the 19th edition of the Deep Wireless Radio Art Compilation. The compilation includes works that examine the relationship of people and the natural world.  Unheard and unexpected encounters with nature are brought to life in works by Omar Reyna, Emmie Tsumura, Marieke Van de ven, Andra McCartney, Matthew Driggs McMurray and Dann Disciglio.  Info and more radio art compilations are available here - https://naisa.ca/media-archive/compactdiscs/#DWCD18

This recording of the inner vibrations of a black poplar tree (45°22'53.6"N 92°42'17.6"W) is taken from a series of land artworks in which sounds detected within the bodies of living trees are broadcast into their surrounding environments in real time. These sounds are detected by attaching industrial grade accelerometers to various sections of the tree, e.g., the trunk, branches, roots and are transmitted over FM and UHF frequency ranges. They are accessible in their environments via a radio receiver.

Dann Disciglio (b. 1993) is a transdisciplinary artist who utilizes technology to explore notions of intelligence & vitality in biological and abiological systems. Disciglio’s work manifests as compositions, installations, performances, and screen based media which challenge his audience to encounter the world differently - acoustically, temporally, ecologically, perceptually - according to the techne of the work itself.

Dann Disciglio - Black Poplar 86.3 MHz

In the summer of 2022 Nik Forrest and I began a collaborative sound project; a double lathe-cut record called “Split Solstice.” This project is rooted in our shared interest in the sound of very low frequency (VLF) signals, the normally inaudible electromagnetic waves that result from natural phenomena, including lightning, aurora borealis, and solar flares, as well as the urban electrical grid and other human technologies. We recorded VLF and audio samples simultaneously in Gaspé, Quebec, and Lofoten, Norway, two locations in the Northern hemisphere on June 21st, at the moment of the summer solstice. We exchanged these files and worked with them to make the compositions featured on the A and B sides of the first record. The second record features a selection of original VLF samples from Gaspé and Lofoten.

Steve Barsotti is a sound artist and educator who lives in San Diego. He has ventured into various approaches to art making including photography, printmaking, performance, invented instruments, improvisation, object recording, location recording, phonography, electro-acoustic-pull-strange-sounds-from-everyday-objects, and there is sure to be more. The common thread has always been a close examination of easily bypassed details; image from angles that you would not normally see, sounds that can only be heard through contact mics and amplification, sonic qualities of materials that are used in everyday life. 

He was a member of the Seattle Phonographers Union, a field recording wielding group of improvisers. The Union is described as " moving beyond habitual experience of sound and uncover what is foreign in the familiar and familiar about the foreign; to explore what we hear and relearn what we know" They have been performing together for 20 years.
