about

Originally created as sessions for various radio stations, Hidden Transmissions Vol 1 is the first in an ongoing series of releases that finds Swiss-based composer, Rupert Lally, combining electronic and acoustic elements with number station sounds to create a series of multi-part ambient suites that sound like an obscure, forgotten broadcast.

"...Back at the camp and once infra red decontamination had been performed, the camp’s database confirmed that the two artefacts were part of a crude audio playback mechanism, the smaller responsible for the storage and replay of any sound transferred to the ferric oxide spools, whilst the larger was needed for the air displacement necessary to make such sounds audible to human ears. Whilst scanning the housing of the spools, the android discovered alphanumeric characters printed on the side. Deciphered, the characters read “Hidden Transmissions vol 1”. This generated a question within the android‘s neural cortex:
“Why did the transmissions need to be ‘hidden’”- did they contain information that might be considered ‘dangerous’ or ‘subversive’?
Undeterred, the android made a digital analysis of the sound information contained on the ferric oxide materials, using FFT processes to reconstruct any damaged areas and then transferred the result to its neural net. As the resulting sounds began to be processed by its aural sensors, the android felt a sudden sense of communion with the human who had concocted this assembly of sound. It resolved there and then to share it with any who would listen. This transmission would no longer be ‘hidden’."
