Additional Notes:

This is an unannounced Healy FM signal feed (not from an fm radio station).
The signal was via portable fm radio -> Sony WM-D6C.
Recorded live, from inside the concert venue, during the performance. From just behind, and on the hill, in the oaks, just above the soundboard shed, DFC :)
I was in a place where I could sit for the whole show, and look just over the top of the sbd area, and see the entire stage, just over the top of the sbd shed roof.
FM receiver mounted to fork in old oak tree, and the cable feed from the headphone jack, run down to the tape deck, as the antennae.
There were some problems with the fm feed dropping out, and I tried to faithfully patch the known, circulated sbd source, into my master, as patches.
THe first patch is at the start of Scarlet Begonia. The first 1m30sec is from the circulated sbd. From that point until an patch early in the space, is the fm signal.
Some of the early part of Space is from the sbd as well. A short patch.
Other than those two patches, this is from the Dead Aire 100.1 FM signal that I captured that fine afternoon/evening.

peace and wellness to you and yours

enjoy!

Moke
