Saturday November 15th 2004, 7pm:
Transmission from Cesig duon, sea level, Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, West Wales.
Reception at Free Space, Chapter Arts Centre, Cardiff.

TRANSMISSION:
rutland 503 portable wind turbine (sr60 12 volt)
2x audio technica binaural microphones
2x whirlwind 5 metre shielded cables
2x fender mini deluxe amplifiers
2x woolworths 10 litre plastic buckets
2x motorola mobile phones

In Preseli, West Wales, Whitehead draws a small triangular field on the ground. At 2 points he places the amplifiers inside the buckets. Wearing binaural microphones on his wrists, the resulting feedback field is sensitive to any small movements he makes, and to changes in his environment. This sound is transmitted via 2 mobile phones to Cardiff.

RECEPTION:
2x motorola mobile phones
soundcraft mixer
2x dca-550 power amplifiers
3x tannoy t8 speakers

Signals are received by 2 mobile phones, and projected into a triangular speaker configuration consisting of 2 channels plus a phase-inverted mono mix. Whitehead's actions within the remote environment are expanded and relocated into the receiving space.

TEST is a new research and development project examining the translocation of movement, touch, and thought via sound.

Sponsored by Cardiff 2008 in association with Chapter. Duration 12 mins max.
