Rainer Gross & David Joel: What Made Larry Rivers a Master

Presenting 'Short Range Memory' by Ria Rajan

Short Range MemoryRia Rajan2025This sound piece weaves together field recordings and archival fragments into a live, short-range radio transmission. Broadcast in real time through a localized FM signal, the work activates an intimate sonic sphere that unfolds as a sound composition drifting between memory, place, and the present moment. The work functions as a durational activation, subtly altering the sonic environment and inviting listeners to tune into a micro-scale soundscape by accessing the piece through the air itself, tuning into a shifting acoustic landscape, that is assembled, rearranged, and dispersed - reimagining how past and present intersect in the act of listening.
