about

“Onda Corta” is a long-duration sound collage made from fragments of short wave radio recordings from The Conet Project as well as internet recordings. The phantasmagoric and omnipresent character of the recorded and transmitted sound is emphasized. Rather than being a sound-object frozen in time as a fragment of history that comes into existence when tuned in by a listener, the sound of the signals is explored as an anonymous unfolding or wandering process. The name of the tracks draws an analogy between the signal-SWR and the soldier as raw materials and war machinery, secretly yearning to return to a lost past of “peace”.

"Onda corta" es un collage sonoro realizado a partir de fragmentos de grabaciones de radio de onda corta (SWR) del Conet Project, así como de grabaciones caseras disponibles en Internet. La pieza destaca el carácter fantasmagórico y omnipresente de estos sonidos, que se despliegan de forma autónoma y anónima, en un rango de frecuencias (banda del espectro electromagnético entre 3 y 30 MHz) cuya captación se corresponde con una tecnología casi obsoleta. Se retoman micro samples de transmisiones espías o propagandas políticas dándoles un carácter onírico y fantasmal.

Los nombres de las pistas establecen una analogía entre la señal-SWR y el soldado como materia prima y maquinaria de guerra, que anhela secretamente volver a un pasado perdido de "paz".
