The Conet Project: Recordings of Shortwave Numbers Stations
http://styleofsound.com/secrets-on-shortwave-radio/
The Conet Project
When the Conet Project box set was first released in 1997, it opened up the world of
clandestine Shortwave Numbers Stations to a select group of music fans interested in
the experimental electronic releases of Irdial Discs.
And it?s no wonder that 16 years later, the Conet Project recordings are still as
relevant as ever ? Shortwave Number Stations are still very active, warranting a re-
issue of this noise classic.
No one knows exactly for sure who operates these mysterious stations but it is
believed that they are operated by government agencies to communicate with their
spies in the field.
Upon listening to the Conet Project recordings (or better yet live via short wave
radio) one can?t help but to feel confused accompanied by an eerie feeling that there
are forces out there up to no good. Some of the broadcasts contained in The Conet
Project have run since the Cold War started and since then, no one has successfully
decoded them due to the unbreakable ?one time pad? encryption used by sender and
receiver.
Strange tones, people reading non-sensical phrases and even music all play a part in
communicating messages from point A to B, and when assembled together into a montage
such as what The Conet Project offers, the broadcasts themselves turn into artworks,
warranting a listen over and over again.
