Tune in to the Friday Afternoon Show with Lucy Bohnsack tomorrow at 5pm!

This month Bruce Bohnsack stops by the studio to talk about his online photography archive, Photo By Gibson. The website is the product of years of tedious scanning and cataloguing thousands of film negatives from local photographer Howie Gibson’s 40+ year career, starting in the 1930’s.

Bruce purchased the film negatives in 1978 from Howie’s two sons with the sole intention of keeping the group together and within Columbia County where the vast majority of the images were taken. After storing them for decades, Bruce made it his mission upon retirement to scan each negative and make them available to the public through a website.

Tune in to “Transmission Ecologies” today at 3 p.m. to hear Episode 38, featuring media artist Sarah Grant.

•

“This composition is a sonic walk through my practice, weaving together different signals from projects I have produced over the last year. The work incorporates recordings of FM radio transmitter interference, HF radio modulation via the FT8 protocol, signals processed through Physarum polycephalum biological wires, and sounds generated from a circada-inspired radio protocol that I created last winter. The piece is a contemplative exploration of the hidden architecture of signals, made perceptible by filtering and temporal recalibration.”

Sarah Grant is a media artist and educator based in Berlin at Studio Weise7. She works with the electromagnetic spectrum and computer networks as artistic material, habitat, and political landscape. She organizes the Radical Networks conference in support of critical investigations and creative experiments in telecommunications.

Tune in tonite/early tomorrow morning at midnight for the first official broadcast of “The Warped Echo” produced by SVB! Catch it in the midnight hour locally at 90.7-FM or anywhere at wavefarm.org/listen. Link in bio.

Waft through the mists of the quantum field: you are the beforetime and the aftertime all at the same time. You’ll encounter forgotten and found sounds, haunted sonics, obsolete audio, distorted vocals, and maybe even some Wurlitzer organ. We’ll explore the unseen, the rarely known, the unheard of. What lies after death? Who visits from other dimensions? How does one time travel? Where do the elementals live?

When will we listen? The Warped Echo broadcasts roughly around each solstice and equinox (3/31/25, 6/30/25, 9/29/25 + 12/29/25), and each one investigates a theme: Death, Visitors, Travel, Elementals.

Sarah Van Buren (SVB) is a raver, soundmaker, soothsayer, DJ, and library worker living in Stottville, NY. She works with music, sound, and collaborative performance to investigate buried histories and the unseen. Sarah facilitates communal rituals and resonates well with others: as the Youth Services Manager at Hudson Area Library, founding member of Community Rave Network, certified Deep Listening® facilitator, and longtime co-curator of 24-HOUR DRONE at Basilica Hudson, 2014-2024.

Tune in at 3pm today for a selection from Wave Farm’s Transmission Arts Archive! “Over and Out” (2021) by Kerosene Jones.

“Over and Out” is an experimental radio play that mines the history of—and utilizes—CB radio to sonically investigate the underrepresented legacies of gay cruising culture in the trucker community. CB radio in the United States has historically subversive connotations: primarily as a tool to evade police detection during the 1973 oil crisis, in which a nationally mandated speed limit hindered truck drivers’ productivity and earnings. CB radios were further implemented as a means of organizing blockades to protest the speed limit and, concurrently, to discreetly facilitate s*x work. The implicit risks of chance homos*xual encounters on the open road (exposure, arrest, persecution) were significantly reduced by the ‘misuse’ of these devices. For this piece, in addition to the manipulation of archival and field recordings, Kerosene will quite literally ‘cruise the airwaves’ of the Hudson Valley and incorporate the raw recordings of his encounters to explore the innately q***r hauntologies and dissident materialities of CB radio. How does CB radio, an arguably outmoded tool that is nevertheless still used today, continue to inform s*xual ideologies? Has the lineage of these technologies moved further away from—or closer to—a homosocial syntax? To what extent have these devices permanently sculpted the semiotics of q***r consciousness? It is Kerosene’s objective to immerse himself in these conceptual inquiries as both an active participant and a sonic medium, to receive and transmit some of the spectral mysteries that exist within these obscured correspondences.

Tune in to “Tracking the Odds” today at 3 p.m. for a broadcast featuring 75 Dollar Bill!

75 Dollar Bill was formed in 2012 by percussionist Rick Brown and guitarist Che Chen. Brown’s earthy, elemental rhythms, played on a deeply resonant plywood crate, are both the foundation and foil for Chen’s searchingly abstract playing, often using a custom quarter tone guitar. The duo’s electric, richly patterned music can shape shift from ecstatic dance tunes to slowly changing polyrhythmic trance minimalism, an uncategorizable hybrid which draws on early electric blues, the modal traditions of West Africa, India, and contemporary experimental music. Here the duo is joined by Sue Garner, electric bass; Cheryl Kingan, saxes; Andrew Lafkas, contrabass; Steve Maing, guitars, sax; Jim Pugliese, percussion; Karen Waltuch, viola; Barry Weisblat, field drum, electronics. Recorded at the Roulette concert hall in Brooklyn in 2017.

“Tracking The Odds: The Roulette Concert Archive” is a monthly hour-long radio special produced by Roulette Intermedium and broadcast in partnership with Wave Farm’s WGXC 90.7-FM. The broadcasts feature selected highlights from Roulette’s New York experimental music space dating from the early 1980s to the present. Thousands of rare, formative, and often unheard recordings by innovators and adventurous musicians populate the archive.

Founded in 1978, Roulette operates a 400-seat concert hall on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn with a focus on experimental and unorthodox music and performance across all genres and media. Its archive of thousands of audio and video recordings is currently being restored.
