about

“What’s ether?” explores the elusive concept of “aether,” as a travel log of sounds moving between new-age fringes of science and the homes of radio aficionados. This radio collage evokes “aether” as a mystical medium, suspending fragments of old songs lost to the surrounding cosmos, frequencies between stations, and electromagnetic radiation undulating through time. Invisible and intangible, radio waves continuously travel once broadcasted, never entirely disappearing, weaving a moving archive of the Universe itself.

“What’s ether?” was created for the radio show Zepelim at Rádio Universidade de Coimbra and re-broadcasted at the 744-hour online station Radio Boredcast curated by Vicki Bennett (People Like Us), part of the AV Festival (Newcastle upon Tyne) and now archived on WFMU (www.wfmu.org/playlists/vZZ). This piece was also featured in issue#2 of the radio art webzine Radiauteur from the Centre for Cultural Studies and the Department for Media and Communications of Goldsmiths, UK.
