We are pleased to announce our 2013 Resident Artists: Laura Hadden and Tennessee Watson (Brooklyn, NY), Zach Poff + N.B.Aldrich (Brooklyn, NY), Redux (Mark Cetilia and Joe Cantrell) (Providence, RI), Brian House (Providence, RI), SPEKTR collective (Aljosa Abrahamsberg, Matthew Biederman, Marko Peljhan, and Brian Springer) (Montreal, Canada), Cammis Buerhaus (New York, NY), Brett Ian Balogh (Chicago, IL), Hethre Contant (Brooklyn, NY), Sam Sebren (Athens, NY), Aliza Simons (Brooklyn, NY). free103point9's Wave Farm Residency Program provides artists with valuable assistance with which to concentrate on new transmission works and conduct research about the genre using free103point9's resource library. Resident artists perform, are interviewed, and create playlists for a Saturday broadcast on WGXC 90.7-FM, a FM radio station and media project in Greene and Columbia counties, upstate New York. free103point9's Wave Farm Residency Program is made possible, in part, by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature and The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.

Wave Farm gearing up... Engineer Justin Downs (pictured left) works on site at Wave Farm to reconfigure his Will o' the Wisps, consisting of eight modules deployed in and around a meadow on the Wave Farm property. Each module runs and performs its function with power derived from the environment (in this case solar). The networked system works together to move listeners around an area in varying patterns, indefinitely. Artists Douglas Repetto (pictured right) and LoVid work on site at Wave Farm to upgrade their installation. Circular Spectrum Analyzer (CSA) is part of the ongoing Cross Current Resonance Transducer collaboration with LoVid. It is a solar energy to sound and movement transducer. Two solar panels directly power a shortwave radio and two motors. One of the motors continuously tunes the radio across the 19MHz spectrum while the other slowly turns seven wooden discs. The shape and engraving of the discs was determined by data collected from the seven Sunsmile devices in Bonding Energy. The same data was used to engrave intricate patterns on the aluminum body of the sculpture.

Wave Farm Intern: Nina Bar-Giora We are delighted to welcome Nina Bar-Giora as Wave Farm's 2013 Summer Intern. Nina will graduate from Bard College this May with a degree in biology. While at Bard, her studies have been focused in biology and philosophy including courses in the Mind, Brain, and Behavior concentration. Nina is the host of "Rainbows On My Eyeballs," a radio show on Bard’s student-run online station WXBC. She makes music on her own and with the band "Pogs." Writes Nina, "I’ve long been in love with music and curious about radio. I’m thrilled to be an intern this summer at Wave Farm. I’m looking forward to learning about how a non-profit arts organization works, working alongside artists in residency, and learning as much as I can about transmission and sound arts."
