Shortwave radio signals spread across the planet, the signal fades in & out, washes of static mix with music & voice, creating an eerie mashup of music & electronics.
This is the latest mix in a series, going back years, that utilizes shortwave broadcasts & music that already has a noisy, grainy tone. That combination of sounds creates a strange, other-worldly feel, transporting the listener around the globe and back again.
As with the other shortwave mixes, this one makes use of source material from Myke Dodge Weiskopf & his website of shortwave recordings found here... http://www.myke.me/wordpress/
Enjoy.

sylvester
Ron,
You're right, the shortwave mixes do work very well late at night. I remember listening to the Conet Project recordings in the dark & being a little freaked out by them but in a good way.
Any plans for a new mix from you?
Fabulous concept and fabulous execution!
