transmissive dispersals involves fm radio transmitters, a radio receiver, a tank of water, a pair of hydrophone microphones, digital effects processing, and a pair of old Yamaha speakers. Listening to the sounds of Bowery down below the island gallery fire escape, the performance involves playing with the feedback created in the final circuit of this circuitous signal path, hearing the radio’s vibration in the air mixed with its dispersion inside the water. These performances serve as meditations on the permeability of apparent membranes separating inside/outside, vibration/signal, water/air, centri-fugal/petal, object/force.
