Fundamental Resonance is a broadcast series that posits a new approach to the audition of acoustic, mechanical, and electromagnetic vibrations. Each episode combines an audio essay with a soundscape, composed of examples of the phenomena discussed, as a way to explore the unreachable, reveal the hidden, and manifest what lies beyond the senses.
Fundamental Resonance is produced by Sam Rowell and will be broadcast on Lookout FM. Broadcasts can be heard online at Lookout FM and on terrestrial radio on KFQM-LP 101.5 FM Pacific Palisades. A podcast is available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Episodes will be released weekly from September 15 - November 3.
Sunday, Oct 27, 2024: Electromagnetic Field Recordings
This program features a trip around Los Angeles recording the electromagnetic landscape using a wide-band radio receiver. Rather than being designed to help pick up a particular frequency, as a standard FM radio would, the SOMA Ether “anti-radio” picks up all electromagnetic signals in the air around it and converts them to sound.
