about

Death invites solidarity and diplomacy. The death of
Japan’s Emperor Hirohito in 1989 brought an end to the
“62 year-long ‘Sh wa’ period of war and peace” (Radio ō
NHK, 1989). With imperial Japan’s World War atrocities
laid to rest, the whole world has sent its deepest
sympathies. Radio NHK’s English shortwave broadcast
reported a global response to this event, heard at 07:50
GMT on January 7th of 1989 at 15270kHz.

Weekend Rain reimagines rain sounds within expanding
cyclical structures over time. Recordings of the piano,
Japanese koto, and found objects diffuse a canvas of
raining sounds as haiku poetry juxtaposes with the
shortwave broadcast. The poetry forcibly creates a new
narrative as it appears side by side with the radio
commentary. A numbers station broadcast (07:55 UTC,
October 4th of 2021 at 9065kHz) joins this poetic garb
of encryption as if to mask the loneliness of death with
matters of geopolitics, global affairs, and intel secrecy.
