Channelling Shortwave
[Repeated from Friday 8pm.] A live performance by Simon Whetham. This latest iteration of Simon's Channelling project is a descendant of "Channelling Airwaves", a work commissioned by Deustchlandfunk Kultur and Cashmere Radio in 2025. This new version features shortwave radio transmissions that were recorded at GMEA Albi, France in November 2025. Because of the nature of shortwave, Whetham captured broadcasts from around the globe, but also the artefacts heard between the stations: white noise static, strange tones and whistles, and overlapping signals that are non-existent in digital broadcasts and streaming. The recordings are piped through a new collection of mechanical devices sourced from various obsolete media and storage devices, these being a hard disc drive, a floppy disc drive, a turntable, a minicassette recorder and a CD-ROM. The amplified radio broadcasts play through the motors of the devices, resonating and activating them in erratic ways. These actions are then further amplified using contact microphones, EMF pickup coils and a small handheld radio.
10:30am - 11:00am

Featuring the pupils of Exwick Heights Primary School, Saint Leonard's Church of England Primary School, Saint Sidwell's Church of England Primary School & Nursery, and Willowbrook Primary School. Conceived and directed by Ed Baxter and produced by Michael Umney. Commissioned by University of Exeter Arts & Culture as part of Exeter Sound Context.
