free103point9 is pleased to host, Voices of America, a participatory Internet radio project that reflects on the media spectacle of the 2008 US Presidential Election through the lens of the Voice of America Radio Network, a US government broadcasting service intended for an international audience. The new site and custom application will launch in late August, 2008. Here's how it will work:
* RECORD up to one minute samples of election coverage on an over-the-air Voice of America station
* UPLOAD and TAG your recordings
* DOWNLOAD from the searchable pool of available recordings
* REMIX the broadcasts and UPLOAD them back to the website
* LISTEN to the recordings and remixes online anytime or to the radio broadcast at the Audacity of Desperation exhibition at the Sea and Space Gallery in Los Angeles on Election Day

Van Vorst Park Soundwalk
Oct. 4, 2008: noon – Oct. 5, 2008: 6 p.m.
Van Vorst Park
281 Montgomery St. and Jersey Ave.
Jersey City, NJ
(free103point9 Event, Microradio Sound Walk)
The Van Vorst Park Soundwalk is an interactive sound art piece by Damian Catera which simultaneously uses the park as a musical score and instrument. The public is invited to experience the piece through portable headset radios as they walk through a loosely defined route within the park. The piece operates with three limited-range low power FM transmitters which are situated along the route. Each transmitter plays a component of the sound composition which is broadcast on a single frequency. As listeners move through the park, with their radios tuned to the project frequency, the piece shifts and transitions between the separate components. In this enhanced environment, the listener becomes an active and crucial participant in the realization of the piece.
The Van Vorst Park Soundwalk is co-sponsored by the Jersey City Museum and supported, in part, by a NJ Arts Council Fellowship. Transmission architecture in collaboration with free103point9. See Microradio Sound Walk for more information.
