Interval Signals

[Colin Howard]

Greetings,

I shall certainly, having always been interested in short wave broadcasts,
take a look at this and may well feature at least something from the site on
Radio Memories.

Hello everyone,



I would like to bring to your attention a matter that I am confident will
resonate with your sensitivity.



A few days ago, the Scottish Artist, Susan Philipsz inaugurated “Interval
Signals”, an artistic installation currently on view at MAMbo - Museo d'Arte
Moderna di Bologna, a museum of in Bologna, the birthplace of Guglielmo
Marconi.



As reported on the project’s website, “Interval Signals” is a sound
installation that, becoming part of MAMbo’s permanent collection, is also
broadcast 24 hours a day via the website:



www.intervalsignals.it



Philipsz explains that her work reinterprets radio interval signals, short
musical sequences developed in the 1920s and 1930s to identify radio
stations, by translating them into a continuous series of vibraphone sounds,
often chime-like and melancholic, evoking a pause in which the flow of time
appears suspended.



The work further underscores the conviction already held by Marconi and
later recalled by Philipsz: once generated, sounds never truly die. They
fade, but continue to reverberate through the universe in the form of
electromagnetic waves.



I believe this will take you back to the early days of SW BCL activities, as
it does for me as well.



73,
