A series of themed radio programmes curated by Colin Fallows.
EQ brings together a broad variety of artists producing soundworks
within specific frequency bands. The programme of works is divided into
three distinct sections: Bass, Middle and Treble. A fourth programme
brings together a series of mixed-frequency collaborative works
featuring elements from the Bass, Middle and Treble programmes.
EQ presents soundworks by international sound artists, experimental composers, noise makers and other audio creators. EQ treats Internet radio as an art space containing a themed audio exhibition that can be experienced in either linear or random modes.
Various times, Friday 22, Saturday 23 & Sunday 24
