Community Service (Rush FM)
An fm radio broadcasts a 1996 BBC Arena documentary entitled ‘Pirate’s’; investigating the pirate radio culture of London in the mid 90’s, specifically looking at a Jungle station named Rush FM. The documentary is transmitted on the fm frequency of 97.3, the former frequency of Rush FM, via an illegal pirate radio transmitter and aerial setup in a location unknown and untraceable to the viewer.
The Hacienda
A record playing an audio segment from the New Years Eve party that took place at the Hacienda, Manchester in 1991. The tone arm of the turntable on which it is played is held back via an elastic band, allowing only a small section to be looped for a period of around nine to ten hours; the time in which it takes the groove of the record within that loop to entirely ware away, after which the record will become completely silent. The turntable on which the record is played is positioned opposite a television screen showing a twenty minute long video of the crowd that attended the night, which can potentially loop infinitely.
Together Sensation (Synesthesia)
- Synesthesia, a rare neurological condition whereby the stimulation of one sense simultaneously triggers the stimulation of another.
A record is mounted upon the turntable featuring a colour spectrum on one side and a series of musical notes on the other. Each specific note relates to that which is heard by a sufferer of the condition when faced with each individual colour. A small light installed within the turntable, positioned beneath the needle, allows each of the colours to project a beam of light at the exact point in which the note relating to that colour can be heard.
Long Player
Investigation into the amount of LP records sold within the past decade. A song is created whereby the sales within each individual year are represented by a specific tonal frequency, dictated by the amount of records sold.
Himalayas
Balloons are placed in their relevant geographical locations and filled with varying amounts of helium in order for them to float at a height relative to the amount of deaths that have occurred upon each mountain.
A circle was drawn on the location of each mountain, the diameter of which was equal to the amount of deaths that have occurred upon it using lines of blue, white, red, green and yellow - the specific order of the traditional Nepalese Prayer Flags that hang throughout the mountain range, used in order to promote peace.
