Audio Archaeology

2:00pmRāapa | Wed

Weathered Waves has been in music since he can remember. From playskool electronic keyboards, to that broken boat sonar he got his hands on as a kid, that served as some sort of, circuit bent synth. Countless hours on Nintendo handhelds home schooled on the coastal expanses of New Zealand with his parents and sister surfing, diving, exploring. He started making radio shows on an old 4 track tapedeck radio early on, dubbing tunes off the airwaves to cassette, and using the built in mic to host shows with friends and family. From the Walkman on a remote beach in the 90’s to the iPod in y2k high school, crate digging for obscure rarities has been his speciality. Eclectic and eccentric, to modern tastes. And a found respect from old heads. Although frequenting underground nights in his youth and seeing a lot of culture shift before him, he was never a traditional dj. Shying away from nightlife to endeavour in radio. Formally with ‘The Alchemy Lab’ a short lived late night show. Before moving on to a limited event sonic arts gallery exhibition under ‘Audio Archaeology’ - emerging with a new Saturday night radio show of the same name. Times change, and Audio Archaeology is back on the airwaves Wednesday 2-4PM turns to but is not limited by a more solitary solemn sound found in his productions. The whalesong of cars passing by late at night in the rain, the glow of the street lamp in the winter fog, moments when time seems to stand still. The freedom in moments of the crashing waves on the summer coastlines, the gentle flow of rivers, streams, waterfalls. Ambience of spring and autumn late nights and early mornings. Staring out into the vast expanses of the horizon. Join Weathered Waves, and friends on an expedition unearthing fossils of audio. From percussive to atmospheric rhythms, the gravity of low end frequencies and where they all merge together. Betwixt between, in a liminal place, in transit to new and exciting archaeological discoveries for the airwaves. Stay tuned..
