‘Lost Transmissions From Dusty Roads’ is a 15-channel sound composition written for the event ‘Ghost Line X,’ which debuted at Rosewood Park in Austin, Texas on November 19th, 2022. The event happened a second time on April 15th, 2023 at Moody Amphitheater as part of Fusebox Festival. ‘Lost Transmissions’ encompasses electromagnetic anti-radio field recordings, chopped digital string arrangements, and a variety of heavily edited sample content. The composition merges staccato melodic phrasings with Musique concrète forms to create spatial movement and depth within the linear speaker array.

‘Ghost Line X’ is a spatial audio public event series created by the experimental sound collective ‘Rolling Ryot’ in partnership with the city of Austin through the Cultural Arts Division. The event consists of a 15-channel linear speaker array spanning over 350 ft. in conjunction with sound reactive lighting.
