As Wave Farm’s artist-in-residence in August 2023, Peter Simensky designed an installation of his pyrite radios along the walking paths of Wave Farm’s Art Park. These sound-sculptures were activated during the eighth annual live performance and broadcast event Audio Buffet that took place on August 5, 2023 at Wave Farm in Acra, New York. Audio Buffet was an annual event inspired by Pauline Oliveros and IONE’s generous donation of their 32-channel mixing board in 2015. Acoustic and electronic sound artists in the greater Hudson Valley region came together outside in our forested Art Park for a live collaborative and improvisational broadcast on Wave Farm Radio: WGXC 90.7-FM.

In conjunction with Peter Simensky: Pyrite Radio, tune in to a one-hour excerpt from the 2023 Audio Buffet on August 21 at 4:00pm.
