https://freesound.org/- Intro: [Rutger Muller & Fringer-Cat]__tune-am-02 - Tunning broadcast stations in short wave - AM / 6 KHz.
-Act II: [BonnyOrbit] - Recorded 200 meters from the sea outside a window of a building. We hear the waves, kids that walk under the window and a signal from a station which informs the ships.
-Act V: (the beginning): [Vedas] - Using a variety of 1980s radios connected via a headphone output to the computer, I tuned in - across the entire bandwidth - of the MW and LW channels. I also captured the static hiss of those bands, 'dead air'. There are small clips of various stations along the way but I was looking for that 'tuning in' sound that was so familiar when radio was the central part of every teenager's life.
-Act VI: [dobroide] - conversation in Spanish over short-wave radio, with unmistakable Chilean accent
-Act VI (end): [Georgeantoniv] - отчётливо слышимый куплет из песни Б.Окуджавы «Песенка Кавалергарда» - предположительная трансляция с одной из 3-х советско-российских антарктических станций: Беллинсгаузен (62°12'00'' ю. ш. 58°57'40'' з. д.), Новолазаревская (70°46'37'' ю. ш. 11°49'26'' в. д.) или Молодёжная (67°39'56'' ю. ш.45°50'26'' в. д.) (см.карту).
-Act VI (very end): [britosounds] - Recorded at Playa Blanca, Lanzarote (Canary Islands), just under Pechiguera lighthouse. Sound coming both from open sea, with medium waves, and from very near seashore, with small volcanic rocks.
