BodyRadio (2011) Four-part score for electronic voices in organic bodies debuted as part of the Deep Wireless Festival of Transmission Art, Toronto, Canada

Body Radio is a choral work for electronic voices in human bodies - this situation reverses the interiority/exteriority of a radio, which is a human voice in an electronic body. The score is derived from a re-working of John Cage's Imaginary Landscape #4 (1950), the first composition written that incorporated radios as musical instruments. Small wireless microphones are placed directly in the mouths of the performers, who are each facing a guitar amplifier. The performers control the sensitivity of both the amplifier's receiving function and the microphone's sending function in accordance with the score. The final sounds are a combination of inner mouth noises, breathing, and varying pitches feedback controlled by the opening and closing of mouths.
