“Interval signals” are short pieces of musical phrasing, a sound effect or recorded speech that shortwave radio stations use to “introduce themselves” when broadcasting. The signals announce the start of a broadcast and create an identifiable touchstone for listeners old as well as those hearing the station for the very first time.

Three Rules of Discipline and Eight Points for Attention (named after Chinese radio station Voice of the Strait and its highly recognisable interval signal) is a work that restructures interval signals from eight different countries into miniature compositions played on instruments and in styles that are significant departures from their original form.

Hali Palombo is a composer, visual artist, and filmmaker from Chicago, Illinois. Born in Northfield, Minnesota, she has had a natural curiosity about the Midwestern United States since a young age. Her work often weaves the absurd and mundane beauty of Illinois into her records, short films, drawings, and paintings.

Palombo is an avid practitioner of “plunderphonics”: sampling existing musical/aural works and intertwining them into something brand new, whether its shortwave radio and CB radio samples, wax cylinder audio, or field recordings taken from Midwestern points of interest. She also draws great inspiration from endless adventures around the country—be they on Google maps or in her car—often photographing, filming, or drawing her findings.

Phantom Circuit is a show of strange and wonderful sound waves - featuring music that is alien, electronic, exotic, essential.

This show was created by Sunna Margrét (Lausanne) and multimedia artist, Anna Clegg (London).

Margrét’s half of the show, “Lullabies of Lac Léman”, brings together intimate sound recordings and music written by friends and musicians from her neighbourhood in Lausanne. The resulting mix is a captivating glimpse into a thriving art community that has been built on the banks of Lac Léman.

In the second half of the show, Clegg weaves together a personal archive of material spanning from late 2017 to the present day recorded in galleries, cinemas, clubs, bedrooms and buses throughout London.

In her own words: “Seldom used to record directly, my recording device was held outside windows, behind doors or at the back of the room as a DJ played at the front. Caught somewhere between fantasy, impression and occasional embodied reality (there are multiple interferences in the form of my own nervous laugh), the recordings attempt to present a version of time that is malleable, elastic.”

Each month, First Light Records invites two artists to take an unplanned journey with a microphone around their city to curate an hour-long mix. Each show captures the unique atmosphere of a city from each artist's perspective, through music and found sound.
