This is a summary of the paper I (Zita) presented this morning at the Spectropia conference in Riga.
This paper is an archaeological excavation of this thing we call the radio spectrum, it’s a history of how the radio spectrum came to be discovered, articulated, and ultimately invented as an apparatus of power. This is an argument against treating the radio spectrum as a thing, a pregiven, natural, material object.
So it’s time we got around to actually using this as a blog and not just an occasional gig listing… starting now, at the Spectropia festival hosted by RIXC in Riga…

Perhaps a cheerfully unwitting paean to the celebratory chaos we see flying out of Swedish record label Release the Bats right now (NO MOSH! NOCORE! NOFUN!), THIS Thursday Night at the Heritage Chapel of the Music Centre of Christchurch (140a Barbadoes Street) promises – albeit slyly – to host and deliver the type of sun-kissed nocturnal pandemonium that could only come out of such a celestially Gothic clime. Stepping right up to the sonic countenance of BLACK PHOTOSYNTHESIS itself, only to turn its closed eyes back into the coloratura rays of the HAPPY ORANGE will be a peripatetic swarm of music-makers and un-makers alike –
