This album presents some of the highlights of the Shortwave Transmissions project by Cities and Memory.

Cities and Memory teamed up with The Shortwave Radio Archive to present more than 100 incredible recordings from the history of shortwave radio all over the world for artists to remix and reimagine.

Shortwave radio is one of the most fascinating sonic worlds – capturing vital moments in world history as well as the thrill of pirate radio, clandestine radio stations, secretive number stations and military and spy radio.

These are sounds to be treasured: all of humanity is truly out there to be listened to at the turn of a dial - and is source material for some extraordinary compositions.

Retrophonica – Aetheric Transmissions is a charity compilation curated by John from Sound Effects Of Death And Horror (SEODAH) along with 12 other artists to celebrate the work of Delia Derbyshire, Wendy Carlos and other electronic pioneers. Each artist has created a track using 60/70’s sounds as a starting point. They include classical pieces and original works in a wide variety of styles and sounds that fit together well.

The artists have agreed that the supported charity is Delia Derbyshire Day (DD Day). Profits will go to them once the label has recouped costs. The charity’s objectives are:

To advance the education of the public in music technology and the history of British electronic music via the archive and works of Delia Derbyshire.
To advance the art of British electronic music via the archive and works of Delia Derbyshire.
DD Day offers public events and participatory activities in Greater Manchester, with national touring events and a developing education programme. So far, DD Day has commissioned artists based in NW England to respond to the fascinating archive of the late great Delia Derbyshire, producing new music and art that in turn inspires others.
