[Andrew Garton]

FREQUENCY POST

A personal investigation of the radio frequency spectrum by 6
producers from 3 countries in 6 generative movements.

Conceived and curated by Andrew Garton for KunstRadio.

---

Frequency Post is comprised of six generative sound works, each an
investigation of radio frequency allocation as defined by the
broadcasting legislations, technologies and economic pressures brought
to bear on each of countries and/or regions individually commissioned
sound artist/composers have chosen to draw inspiration from.

The notion that the spectrum is much like "the nervous system in a
living organism" is at the heart of the generative processes each of
the artists employed in the design and construction of their
works.

Commissioned artists include the well respected, long-time
composer, Warren Burt; the infamous and inspiration for much of
Australia's electronica genres, Ollie Olsen; award winning sound
artist and performer, Steve Law; emergent sound and recording artists,
Lie, Pei-Wen from Taiwan and Jin Shan, mainland China.
