Shortwave Collective is currently working on a new commission for Struer Tracks, a biennial of sound and listening in Struer, Denmark. We've been working with volunteers from technology company Bang & Olfsen, based in Struer, as remote resident artists, in the lead up to the festival. Throughout the biennial, we will run a Living Radio Lab, inviting visitors into the process of developing and listening with Open Wave-Receivers – simple radio receiving devices that provides site- and time-specific access to the sounds travelling on the invisible electromagnetic waves surrounding us. The lab will be open from 23rd-27th August 2023: https://struertracks.dk/project/shortwave_collective

On Thursday 25 May, two Shortwavers joined up with Soncities and the Modern Art Oxford museum. We were there for EMPRES Art of Noises VIII, an evening of experimental sound and performance. We exhibited some of the radios built by Oxford University students in the 5 May workshop, hooked up to strange bits of metal sheets and piping from the museum as experimental diodes and antennae, playing sounds from our experiments in urban listening. We also took part in an illuminating Q&A session with Gascia Ouzounian from the Faculty of Music!
