about

Originally written for the 2008 AV Festival's theme of 'Broadcast', taking inspiration from Jeffrey Sconce's notion of 'Haunted Media'. Uses sample material sourced from Antonin Artaud's radio performance, 'Pour en finir avec le jugement de Dieu' (To Have Done with the Judgement of God).

The title reflects the venue used for the festival installation (the reception area of Newcastle University's Culture Lab), as well as the broadcast theme.

Most of the samples were heavily treated with a variety of convolution effects, lending the piece its spooky and gauzy, static-laden atmosphere.
