This episode is a contribution by Radio Helsinki.

There are two kinds of dedicated radio listeners.Those who head for their FM Soundscape while, working, reading living and those who head for numbers and morse-code on short wave. Distracting at least one of these groups may seem like an achievable aim. While we are discussing pipeline-holes and ripped interbet-cables in the Baltic sea, the neo-rebellion in Iran and drones in circles, it had all been broadcasted beforehand.

This show is dedicated to numberstations, a way of broadcasting encrypted information via serieses of numbers or letters, using either automated voice, Morse code, or a digital mode. A methode that has been used since WW I and is still used as this signals are not sensitive to any distortion and disturbance and reach out via aether into the air and water. Foreign intelligence agenciesunder water or overseas keep on useing this practical methode of informations transportation.

Nida Live-Performance from Sept 28th 2022 was developed during a residency at the Nida Art Colony of Vilnius Academy of Arts and performed there.

Numberstations was performed again at Wien Modern, November 24th 2024 as part of a project of the collective Institute for Transacoustic Research.

Thanks a lot to the Nida Art Colony and its team especially Vasilisa Filatova and Egija Inzule.
