Chantale Laplante invites Andrea-Jane Cornell to perform on Chaud pour le Mont Stone, Thursday December 4th 21h to 23h — that’s tonight, y’all. Here’s a little teaser of what to expect when our own music department expat takes over the airwaves with her personal kind of sonic exploration…
Andrea-Jane will be probing the airways in an improvisatory manner using an accordion, radio static, electric ground hum, and hyper amplification. Fluctuating frequencies in the 20 – 30 Hz range will be used as an interfering accompaniment in the continuation of her research on the interactions of low frequency sound signals transmitted over the FM carrier wave. Technical texts about the FM Carrier wave explain that the FM band is able to reproduce frequencies between 30Hz and 15kHz with a certain degree of audio fidelity. In experiments carried out on WGXC in Acra and Hudson NY while in residency at free103point9’s , Andrea-Jane Frequencies in the lower end saturate the signal and prevent other sounds from being transmitted clearly. For example when transmitting frequencies in the lower end of the spectrum, the large shape of the soundwave seem to saturate the centre frequency, leaving little to no room for other frequencies or signals to pierce through.
