Fundamental Resonance is a broadcast series that posits a new approach to the audition of acoustic, mechanical, and electromagnetic vibrations. Each episode combines an audio essay with a soundscape, composed of examples of the phenomena discussed, as a way to explore the unreachable, reveal the hidden, and manifest what lies beyond the senses.
Fundamental Resonance is produced by Sam Rowell and will be broadcast on Lookout FM. Broadcasts can be heard online at Lookout FM and on terrestrial radio on KFQM-LP 101.5 FM Pacific Palisades. A podcast is available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Episodes will be released weekly from September 15 - November 3.
