Tender Transmissions

2009-10-12T22:22:00.000-07:00

I recorded 2 songs for this project!

Location: Luggage Store Annex/Tenderloin National Forest
509 Ellis Street, San Francisco
Time: 11:00am - 6:00pm

Tender Transmissions is a temporary Tenderloin specific radio program (available locally on 93.7 FM), a series of phone messages (at (415) 375-8282) and an audio installation at The Tenderloin National Forest. We interested in the intimate and invisible characteristics of sound, and its potential resonance at the threshold of the public and the private. We approached the neighborhood by engaging with intimacy, desire and tenderness in a variety of artist projects, by listening to individual voices, the sounds of the neighborhood and the desires and stories of various residents, workers and students.
