Biography

As Waveform Transmission, Rod Modell (DeepChord) and Chris Troy recorded an album documenting their sessions in a small dark room, in the basement of the WSGR FM 91.3 radio station in Port Huron, Michigan, while live on the air 10/29/95, from 11 PM through 1 AM. The broadcast was dispersed throughout Chemical Valley (Sarnia, Ontario, Canada), and recorded direct to DAT from the radio station console.

Rod Modell handles synthbox duties, contributing Fairlight IIx, Emu Emulator III, Synclavier II, tape loops and "atmospheric phenomenon" among other sources, while Chris Troy is responsible for the analog input with an array of Korg synthesizers, recordings of the dead, and field recordings made during periods of highly-charged paranormal activity.

Over ten tracks the pair transport the listener through ghostly sequences of ethereal drones, radio static textures and almost imperceptible tonal shifts, leaving lots to the imagination which should be stoked by the inclusion of recorded paranormal activity.
