Radio signals are transmitted out to the ionosphere, they travel as electromagnetic waves. The ionosphere reflects radio waves back to the Earth's surface and are received by an antenna.
The body is a landscape for sound to bounce off and sweep through. Aoibhinn has been researching how sound affects the body and how body effects sound. By working with different wave forms she choreographed this piece to create live soundscapes through instant composition. She created a score starting from 0. This involves circuits of vibration/movement starting from 0, receiving waveforms and transmitting them into physical beings, shapes and circling back again.
