radio filtering, signal searching, at Eyebeam with long wire antenna http://www.flickr.com/photos/asondheim/sets/72157628961636587/ - VLF (B and E receivers and antennas) radio apparatus, including shortwave, at Eyebeam, for recording and performance. http://www.alansondheim.org/radiosphere.mp4 - this contains 47 segments of filtered shortwave and VLF E-field reception at Eyebeam; the filtering attempts to bring out the underlying signal structure, if any. it's also an interesting and long collage of widely varying signals and interference. (what constitutes signal, and what constitutes noise - what constitutes vermin, critter, or weed, in relation to desired organisms - is a matter of phenomenology; in the radiosphere, I'm attempting to extract signals of interest other than the standard broadcasts or the sound of the background power-grid. atmospheric noise always carries fascinating information; I've left that in. Eyebeam lies in the middle of an area of heavy transmissions; what you hear is the result of wading through them.)
