NIL HEARD
Nothing was performed. Everything was received.
NIL HEARD is operator log shorthand for I listened at the scheduled time and nothing arrived.
The idea
An electronic record made from shortwave radio we received ourselves — time signals, weather fax, station markers and the empty band between them. No third-party audio, anywhere. The score is code: the same seed renders the same music, to the sample.
The Reception Log
Every reception that feeds the record is logged the moment it is made, with its provenance — frequency, mode, the UTC minute, the kind of receiver that heard it — and will be playable here. The archive is being built.
The record
A record is in progress. It will be named and dated when the last master is finished, and not before.
