Wave Debris by Diana Duta & Julia E. Dyck https://crashsymbols.bandcamp.com/album/wave-debris Diana Duta and Julia E. Dyck's Wave Debris takes the work of scientist Elizabeth Alexander as its starting point, in particular her research into the radio frequencies emitted during sunset. Working mostly with modulated versions of those frequencies, they worked in their own field recordings, feedback, and readings from Ron Silliman’s Sunset Debris. The result feels especially cryptic and otherworldly, full of smoke and dissolving images. The live version was performed at sunset during Rocks Radio Radar Long Wave Radiation, organized by Cristina Ramos as part of her residency at The Watch Berlin. Housed in a former GDR watchtower, half the transmission was streamed from Brussels while the other was performed on location one floor below the audience. The performance attempts to illuminate phenomena that are present but not perceived, that mediate, dissolve, or disclose.
