The audio recording titled "Static at 1400 AM" is a fascinating exploration into the world of radio frequencies and the noises they can produce. It begins with a burst of static, a noise most are familiar with when tuning a radio, but rarely linger on. This static is the result of amplitude modulation, a type of radio broadcasting method. As the recording progresses, the static fluctuates, varying in both frequency and amplitude. This modulation is the change in strength (amplitude) of the radio signal at the frequency of the sound being sent. This gives the static a pulsating feel, as it undulates between softer and louder volumes. The audio is not just random noise, but a representation of the 1400 AM frequency on the radio spectrum. The static embodying the countless unseen signals that fill the air around us. The recording is a stark reminder of the invisible world of radio waves that coexists alongside our own perceptible reality. Throughout the recording, there are no voices,
