Two Islands Radio Broadcast 2022

Two Islands is a piece that collages live improvisation, field recordings and live radio signals from Block Island, located in the Atlantic ocean off the east coast of the United States and Hawaii’s Big Island, located in the Pacific Ocean. A Max patch randomly plays field recordings and modulates live radio from each island. During the broadcast, an ensemble freely interprets and improvises with the incoming signals from these shifting sonic environments in order to establish a thread between the two unique personalities of the islands. The ensemble collides and merges with the field recordings, live radio signals, and each other.
