Listen "Joe Banks - Disinformation, Poet of Noise"

Episode Synopsis

Joe Banks, producer of the art project Disinformation, has been working with Very Low Frequency (VLF) radio since the mid nineteen-nineties. His installations have been exhibited and performed worldwide and been shown on national TV & radio stations including Sky TV and BBC Radio Four. His challenging investigations into Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP) demonstrate the mind’s conscious and unconscious working in a conflicting synergy.

In this episode Joe speaks to me and my excellent co-host and inspiration, Leila Johnston about how early experiences propelled him towards the sonic voyage of the Disinformation project, his family and future projects.
