I'm sitting in a radio

tribute to Alvin Lucier

for live radio transmission

2005

Description

Installation using feedback loops to color a live radio transmission

Track Record

First Performance: Leuven (March 9, 2005) within the Ithaka festival

Notes for the performers

During the first performance, the performer walked around an exhibition with a radio receiver and a microphone. The radio receiver was tuned to a participating independent local radio station. The microphone was mixed live in the programme broadcast on that same radio station. By moving the microphone closer to and further away from the radio receiver, he was able to create interferences with the regular programme, audible to all radio listeners.
