C : INVISIBLE MESSAGE DURING THE COLD WAR AND AFTER "THE CONET PROJECT"

What Numbers Stations are.

Numbers Stations are radio broadcasts that appear in the Shortwave bands twenty-four hours a day, on many different frequencies. They are used to transmit short text messages. There are three different types of
broadcast; voices reading groups of numbers or phonetic letters, Morse transmissions sending groups of numbers or letters and noise stations, transmitting several different types of noise. It appears that the Numbers Stations are run by our old friends the CIA, SIS, BND, MOSSAD, StB, DIE, MfS, UDBA, and the now renamed KGB. That list leaves out the non- European agencies that operate Numbers Stations, such as Chinese Intelligence.

What Numbers Stations are not.

Numbers Stations are not licensed in the conventional sense, and there is no easy to find information on any aspect of Numbers Stations from the government agencies that are concerned with radio use/misuse. They are not weather forecasts, or shipping broadcasts.

2 (G5) Counting Used by the CIA. May or may not be inactive. Note the use of the word ‘Treholler’, separating the 99 groups. R 1994
3 (E14) Counting ‘Control’ Used by the CIA. No longer active, but traffic was heavy when in operation. Note the ‘rushing air noise’ as the numbers cease. This sound is heard on every E14 transmission. R 1994
4 (E10) Phonetic Alphabet - NATO The E10 setup has been on the air from the mid 1970’s, and can be heard 24 hours a day on a large number of frequencies. The Israeli MOSSAD have been named as the organization responsible for this huge network, by magazine writers and authors. R 1994
5 (G13) 5 Dashes This station transmitted in both German and English. Note the remarkable voice employed. Operated by the CIA/BND. It is no longer active. ‘Es Weiderholen’ separates the groups, but appears at the end here because it is taken from a different recording. Note SITOR data mode. R 1994

Each transmission always lasts exactly 45 minutes, and 200 five figure groups are always sent. It is the only station that uses inflection in the voice; the last number in each five figure group has a higher intonation than the previous four numbers. The LP is jammed consistently on 15682, possibly by Iran or Iraq. 13375 is never jammed.

The Secret Song of Molpe

Original composition for Le Tetraedre. As a follow up to Medusa, this is inspired by the chant of one of the seven sirens Molpe, the musician. The sound work has entirely been created from voices and whispers, whether in their pure or digitally manipulated form, halfway between acousmatics and narrative immersion.

Medusa

Inspired by Shelley’s poem (On The Medusa of Leonardo da Vinci), this piece refers to a creature whose symbolism is ambivalent. Charm and horror, attraction and repulsion, are entangled through screams, laments, chants
and sighs. The sound work has entirely been created from voices for an 8-channel diffusion on September 24, 2010 at the Poitiers Planetarium.

Whale In

Sound piece designed for the Radiophonic Creation Day 2009 - “Locked IN” was a field recording made by Jean-Philippe Renoult in September 2008 on a trip through locks on the Danube (part of the European Sound Delta
project). This audio file was then given to a few artists for a free transformation. The realisation that the dynamic range of the locks was very close to that of a voice led to produce several layers of vocal mimicry placed over the (unedited) field recording.

The Sleep In Opera

In 2002, the Contemplation Room project brought together international artists for a show at the Overgaden gallery and events in various public spaces in Copenhagen. The Sleep In Opera invited the audience to take part in a five nights sleep performance in a bunker under the Hans Christian Ørstedn park. The background research had taken place in a
neurological centre specialised in sleep disorders (Hopital Guy de Chauliac, Montpellier). Some uncanny medical tales gathered there were told to the participants as bedtime stories. Simple techniques to avoid
snoring were applied in reverse so as to ensure the audience would deliver a collective noisy performance. The sound was being diffused in real time in the (cruising) park above. To seal the exploration process, sounds recorded at the hospital and during the bunker performance were used as prime material for this composition.

Psychocosmetics

Audio soundtrack for an Installation and concealed performance at CellSpace, San Francisco, as part of the RED 11- BLUE 1/11 show with Phoenix Perry. This is audio composition is based on cut-up spoken words from antidepressant and cosmetic chemistry books. During the opening, a similuacrum was taking place in a hidden operating theatre/beauty parlour set. The images were projected in real time in the gallery through a CCTV device whose monitor had been placed a on a pedestal. The looped soundtrack was continuously diffused as an ambiguously informative message greeting visitors.
