About Public Transmissions
Public Transmissions is a new musical project by composer James Waide, in collaboration with harpist Anne-Marie O’Farrell and accordionist Timo Kinnunen. Together, they are creating a series of musical pieces which explore the public dimensions of composition and performance.
According to philosopher Todd McGowan, the Public is a space of radical alienation of which no single person or group is able to claim greater ownership than any other. Public Transmissions will consist of pieces which will hold open music as a public space, granting access for all-comers to participate in composition and performance processes and disintegrating the traditional hierarchies of the concert hall.
As the project expands to include new pieces, they will be added to this website.
