SOUND IN RADIO ART features new sound pieces created by young audio-visual artists working in radio space for the first time. The listener will hear natural wireless transmissions from the same electromagnetic spectrum that carries radio waves, but from a less familiar sources— transmissions from distant stars to body electricity, and from the electrical grid we live in to the enfolding surfaces of the brain.

This special broadcast was created through Kansas City Art Institute’s Sound Minor program with instructor Dwight Frizzell, and features: Alastair Koch – Sound from the Regulus Nebula; Noah Pagan – Electromagnetic Snapshots; Tyrisse Simmons – Galvanic Skin Response and the Aurora Borealis; Hunter Hancock – Klein Bagel in Your Brain; Crow Schneider– In the Kiln; Kate Sutton – The Life Ceramic; Abby Bober – Metals in My Room; Nicole Gilliford – Father Forgive Me; Tyrisse Simmons – My Soul and Yours; Eden Demaree – Sorrowful Passion, and Sam Miller – Whiskers. Rev. Dwight Frizzell is Professor & Sound Head, at KCAI – Photography & Filmmaking Dept. with a Terminal Degree in Sound Design. He is an Arif, with Moorish Orthodox Church, and served at First Editor, The Pitch. He is a founder of BCR, newEar, and National Audio Theater.
