Meta-frequency FIELD RECORDING
Salt Lake City // Ensign Peak
[DOWNLOAD AUDIO FILE HERE]
SUMMARY:
Ensign Peak is a prominent lookout point near downtown Salt Lake City. Per historical accounts, early settlers used this hill to survey the valley, perform religious services and receive divine messages.
I hiked to Ensign Peak to record whatever signals and messages were present on the same hilltop site.

Layer I: The Natural (ORTF stereo)
Layer II: The Physical (Weather radio)
Layer III: The Electromagnetic (EMF scanner)
EMF antenna scans: 1) the open environment, 2) the electromagnetic fields created by the recording equipment itself, and 3) my own body (acting as a conduit for radio signals)
