Exploring the sonic unknown
Much to say, but here are the basics.
What’s with the name?
"Ghost Frequency" refers to an infrasonic sound—a frequency below 20 Hz, the threshold of human hearing. Specifically, 18.98 Hz is thought to induce paranormal experiences, a theory that has intrigued researchers and artists alike.
The University of Edinburgh’s Higgs Centre for Theoretical Physics has a very thorough essay on this mysterious phenomenon.
The concept of the ghost frequency isn’t new. It has made appearances in films, music, video games, and various aspects of popular culture, often linked to eerie or unsettling experiences.
What’s with the station?
CAMP Radio is a cutting-edge broadcast platform based in Aulus-les-Bains, France, transmitting directly from an arts-focused facility in the Pyrenees. Known for its commitment to experimental music, the station features genres like drone, improvisation, avant-garde, and more, making it a perfect home for boundary-pushing sonic exploration.
What’s with me?
As a seasoned radio professional and music journalist, I write extensively about experimental music for publications like Treble and others. My passion for unconventional soundscapes began early, fueling a lifelong fascination with artists who redefine what music can be.
