1Cycles (2007) Audio available on CD only. Composed by Thierry Gauthier. Cycles is an expressionist acousmatic piece that is structured in 10 parts. The cyclic revolution is conceived with microsounds which are accumulated, repeated and granulated by the mediation of micro-loops. A germ of life grows into a cold mechanic device and the chaos tries to take place in this impassive system. © 2007 Thierry Gauthier -
2Respire (Excerpt, 2009) Composed by Anna Friz. Respire (half breath) is from the radio installation work Respire as commissioned for Nuit Blanche in Toronto, 2009. This installation consisted of two micro-watt FM transmitters and 220 FM radio receivers suspended and arranged in an "x" pattern approximately sixty-five feet long. The transmitters were tuned to two available frequencies that overlapped and interfered with one another, introducing high frequency tuning oscillations and crackles of static from the radios in addition to the composed sounds. 9:47
3Kailash (Excerpt, 2009) Composed by Debashis Sinha. Kailash is a radiophonic work that simultaneously expresses the five aspects of the Hindu god Shiva as well as the summit of Mount Kailash in the Himalayas, where it is said that he dwells. This unknown sound world in which Shiva dwells is the principal element in the piece, filtered through the aspects of Shiva—Earth, Air, Water, Fire, and Ether. 8:57

Performed by Stimulus Package: Kristen Roos, mbira, bowed firebells, loop pedal, various other pedals; Walter Bloodway, home made drum pads, various samplers and loopers. A live improvised track. Recorded by Jordy Walker live at The Garage, Vancouver. © Creative Commons 2009: Kristen Roos and Walter Bloodway-
5Music in a Foreign Language (2007) Composed by Yannis Kyriakides. The psychoacoustic effect of splitting words in time and space was the initial concept behind this piece. I was curious what would happen to our understanding of language if the sonic properties of words were made to oscillate between different points in a virtual space. I took 'found' material from a teach-yourself English course, and tried to spin the voices into a disorientating medley of meanings and word-music. Music in a Foreign Language was originally written for the inauguration of a Wave Field Synthesis 200 speaker system built in the Netherlands by Game of Life in 2007. This is a stereo version of the piece. 18:42
6Transmission (Mix from live installation, 2009) Audio available on CD only. Composed by Charles Stankievech. Sounds from The DEW Project, including acoustic, hydrophonic, stereo electromagnetic mikes, FM radio, VHF, and other natural radio recordings. The DEW Project radiated from a solar powered field installation that transmitted environmental sounds from the Canadian Arctic for the centenary of the North Pole’s discovery. © Charles Stankievech -
