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.
